Abstract

Objective of this Study: To study the variation of flexural strength as a function of time during an interval simulating a time span of a year in the mouth and determine whether the mechanical performance of the materials in question remains acceptable.

Materials and Methods: Three types of materials are used: bis-acrylic resin (Tempsmart® and Cooltemp®), conventional PMMA (Unifast III®) and composite resin (Revoteck LC®). The flexural strength is evaluated. The samples undergo thermal cycling up to 10 000 cycles and are evaluated at different points in time.

Results: The bis-acrylic and conventional PMMA showed acceptable results throughout this study. The bis-acrylic material Tempsmart® showed the best values. The composite material Revoteck LC® has shown to be inadequate.

Conclusion: Among the tested materials, Tempsmart® is the most suited for long-term temporary restorations.
