Abstract
PURPOSE. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the effect of the fabrication method and material type on
the fracture strength of provisional crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A master model with one crown
(maxillary left second premolar) was manufactured from Cr-Co alloy. The master model was scanned, and the
data set was transferred to a CAD/CAM unit (Yenamak D50, Yenadent Ltd, Istanbul, Turkey) for the Cercon Base
group. For the other groups, temporary crowns were produced by direct fabrication methods (Imident, Temdent,
Structur Premium, Takilon, Systemp c&b II, and Acrytemp). The specimens were subjected to water storage at
37°C for 24 hours, and then they were thermocycled (TC, 5000×, 5-55°C) (n=10). The maximum force at fracture
(Fmax) was measured in a universal test machine at 1 mm/min. Data was analyzed by non-parametric statistics
(α=.05). RESULTS. Fmax values varied between 711.09-1392.1 N. In the PMMA groups, Takilon showed the
lowest values (711.09 N), and Cercon Base showed the highest values (959.59 N). In the composite groups,
Structur Premium showed the highest values (1392.1 N), and Acrytemp showed the lowest values (910.05 N).
The composite groups showed significantly higher values than the PMMA groups (P=.01). CONCLUSION.
Composite-based materials showed significantly higher fracture strengths than PMMA-based materials. The CADCAM technique offers more advantages than the direct technique. [J Adv Prosthodont 2015;7:27-31]
