The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of height and length variations of alumina ceramics manufactured by stereolithography on deformations caused by the manufacturing process and on the 3D shrinkage ratio to control the final dimensions and improve the adaptation of stereolithographic ceramic dental prostheses. Two different U-shaped models were designed with variable heights or lengths. The specimens were manufactured by stereolithography and were scanned using a microtomographic device before and after the heat treatment. Dimensional variations were measured using inspection software. The number and surface of layers of alumina ceramic influenced the reliability of the stereolithography manufacturing but did not influence the 3D shrinkage ratio. The larger the layer surface, the larger the deformation of the ceramic. Dental ceramics manufactured by stereolithography with smallest layer surface are the most reliable. This helps in the selection of the build orientation.
