Why it matters for dental

This in-vitro study quantifies fracture resistance of contemporary CAD-CAM polymers used for 3-unit interim FDPs, giving practice owners and specialists data to decide whether these materials can reliably serve in load-bearing anterior or premolar spans.

Key points

  • Study tested fracture load of interim 3-unit fixed dental prostheses made from current CAD-CAM polymers.
  • Published online 25 September 2026 in The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry.
  • Authors: Carlos A. Jurado, Francisco X. Azpiazu-Flores, Mark A. Antal, Silvia Rojas-Rueda, Damian J. Lee.
  • Findings help clinicians select interim materials that balance strength with cost and chair-time savings versus conventional options.
