The effect of occlusal morphology of implant‐supported prosthesis, support configuration, and build angulation on the number of isolated islands in a 3D printing slicing software
Slicing software can produce isolated unsupported areas that have the potential to cause print failure of a full arch implant-supported prosthesis. Based on the present findings, shallower posterior occlusal anatomy, thinner supports, and 0° build angulation increased the chance of developing isolated islands in a slicing software.
