Fig. 7

Representative images of microscopic examination of fractured 3D-printed bar-shaped denture base specimens. A and F Control (× 200 and × 2000, respectively); B and G phytoncide A-filled microcapsule, 6 wt% (× 200 and × 2000, respectively); C and H phytoncide A-filled microcapsule, 8 wt% (× 200 and × 2000, respectively); D and I phytoncide B-filled microcapsule, 15 wt%, (× 200 and × 2000, respectively); E and J phytoncide B-filled microcapsule, 25 wt% (× 200 and × 2000, respectively). A and F showed primarily brittle fracture pattern, with smooth surface and river lines (or chevron marks) due to rapid cracks. B and G showed the mode of intermediate fracture. C and H showed rough surface revealing ductile fracture, with irregular and jagged areas. D, I, E, and J showed typical pattern of intermediate fracture. Most of the incorporated microcapsules were evenly distributed over the fractured surfaces of 3D-printed specimens
