Fracture Resistance of Three Monolithic CAD/CAM Manufactured Implant Supported Crowns Cemented to a Ti-Base Connector

Abstract

Dental implants are a popular treatment modality for restoring edentulous areas. After osseointegration, the implant must be restored with an implant abutment and crown. Traditionally, a dental lab fabricated these components. The introduction of the Tibase connector allows clinicians to utilize CAD/CAM technology to design and manufacture these components themselves. To date, few studies considered the ability of these restorations to sustain forces encountered in the posterior dentition. To evaluate the forces required to fracture monolithic implant crowns fabricated from three different ceramics cemented to a Tibase connector and to determine if there is a difference in failure force and failure mode between materials.
