Influence of bonding agents on fracture force and fatigue performance of temporary fixed dental prostheses: an in vitro study.

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the effects of different bonding agents on the strength and longevity of temporary fixed dental prostheses.
• Conducted in vitro experiments to assess fracture force and fatigue performance.
• Evaluated self-adhesive and adhesive cementation methods.
• Compared performances between additively manufactured and milled temporary fixed dental prostheses.
• Additively manufactured dental prostheses showed better performance when cemented self-adhesively.
• Milled prostheses can be temporarily cemented to achieve comparable strength.
• Performance varied significantly based on the type of bonding agent used.
