Nanomaterial-Enhanced Dental Composites via Additive Manufacturing

Posted: September 2, 2025
A study explores enhancing dental composites with nanomaterial reinforcements through stereolithographic additive manufacturing. By incorporating boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) into resin matrices, compression strength significantly increased compared to neat resin. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated improved interfacial bonding and fracture resistance. Finite element method (FEM) simulations supported these findings, emphasizing the reinforcing effect of the nanomaterials. The research showcases the potential of nanomaterial-reinforced dental composites for improved performance and durability in dental applications.
