The stents were divided into three groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 10 per group) for different post-processing treatments: ultraviolet (UV) curing, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) cleaning followed by UV curing, and autoclave sterilization. Dimensional measurements at key points were obtained using a 3D scanner and compared to the CAD model. Statistical analysis determined significant deviations between groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The control group showed minimal dimensional deviation. UV curing resulted in a slight increase in deviation (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04), while IPA + UV curing did not significantly alter accuracy (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.20).
