5. Limitations and Future Directions
- All the studies reviewed were in vitro studies, which may not have fully simulated the complex conditions encountered in the oral environment. In vivo studies are crucial for confirming the clinical relevance of these findings.
- It is evident that the composition significantly influences the observed properties and behavior of materials. The materials under study were commercially sourced, and their exact formulations are not publicly disclosed in detail. This necessarily limits the generalizability and reproducibility of the findings.
- The limited number of studies and their relatively short follow-up periods suggest that more long-term research is needed to gain a better understanding of the durability and performance of 3D-printed resins over time.
- Future research should focus on exploring standard surface treatments, material compositions, and printing technologies to enhance the properties of 3D-printed resins further. Additionally, studies that examine the impact of various environmental factors (e.g., exposure to saliva, temperature, and mechanical loading) on the properties of these materials will provide more comprehensive data for their clinical use.
