Effect of polydopamine surface treatment on the mechanical properties of zirconia and resin occlusal veneers fabricated using additive and subtractive manufacturing: An in vitro study
Polydopamine surface treatment enhances the mechanical performance of occlusal veneers fabricated by additive manufacturing, particularly improving bond strength and fracture resistance. This approach may increase the clinical reliability of 3D-printed restorations, especially in thin, conservative designs.
