Abstract

Purpose: To compare fracture resistance force (FRF) and failure types of crowns milled from resin nanoceramic (Lava Ultimate)-, and modified polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) (Vita computer-aided design (CAD)-Temp)-, and PMMA (Telio CAD)-based CAD/computer-assisted manufactured (CAM) blocks. Materials and Methods: Three experimental groups of 10 milled crowns were arranged: Group-1 (Lava Ultimate), Group-2 (Vita CAD-Temp), and Group-3 (Telio CAD). Crowns were machined in sizes similar to a primary second molar stainless steel crown (SSC) and stored in water at 37 degrees C for 30 days. The crowns were seated on Cr-Co dies. Their FRFs were measured using a universal test machine until fracture. FRFs and failure types were recorded and statistically analyzed (P < 0.05). Results: There were statistically significant differences among the groups for both FRFs and failure types. The sources of significant differences for FRFs and failure types were Group-3 and Group-1, respectively. Conclusion: Crowns milled from different chemical structural CAD/CAM blocks may be used for restoration of primary molar teeth.
