PURPOSE: To evaluate the fracture resistance of permanent resin crowns for primary teeth produced using two different 3D-printing technologies (digital light processing [DLP] and stereolithography [SLA]) and cemented with various luting cements (glass ionomer, resin-modified glass ionomer, and self-adhesive resin cement), whether thermally aged or not. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A typodont primary mandibular second molar tooth was prepared and scanned, and a restoration design was created with web-based artificial intelligence (AI) dental software. A total of 96 crowns were prepared, and 12 experimental groups were generated according to the cement type, 3Dprinting technology (DLP or SLA), and thermal aging. Fracture resistance values and failure types of the specimens were noted. The results were statistically analyzed with three-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (α = .05). RESULTS: The results of the three-way ANOVA showed that there was an interaction among the factors (3D-printing technology, cement type, and thermal aging) (P = .003). Thermal aging significantly decreased the fracture resistance values in all experimental groups. DLP-printed crowns showed higher fracture resistance values than SLA-printed crowns. Cement type also affected the fracture resistance, with glass ionomer cement showing the lowest values after aging. Resin-modified glass ionomer and resin cements were more preferable for 3D-printed crowns. CONCLUSIONS: The type of cement and the 3D-printing technology significantly influenced the fracture resistance of 3D-printed permanent resin crowns for primary teeth, and it was decided that these crowns would be able to withstand masticatory forces in children.
