Compressive and flexural strength of provisional crown materials fabricated by conventional and 3D printing techniques: An in vitro study

Key Points

3D Accuprint C&B offers superior mechanical strength in comparison to GC Tempron and matches Freeprint Temp.
Overall findings suggest that 3D Accuprint C&B is more suitable for high-stress provisional restorations.
The study provides evidence for the potential of 3D printing in dental material applications.
Implications highlight the importance of material properties for durable solutions in dental prosthetics.

Abstract

3D Accuprint C&B demonstrated superior mechanical strength compared to GC Tempron and comparable properties to Freeprint Temp. These findings confirm its mechanical viability as a high-performance alternative, making it better suited for durable provisional restorations, particularly in cases involving high resistance to stress, parafunctional habits, or implant-supported prostheses.
