Three-unit FDP frameworks were fabricated using three materials: group I: CAD/CAM BioHPP, group II: CAD-CAM zirconia and group III: metal framework FPDs. Vertical occlusal load was applied gradually at a constant rate of 1N per second up to a maximum of 150 N. The resulting strain around Implants was measured by strain gauge device. RESULTS: The lowest mean (SD) micro-strain value was recorded for group I: BioHpp, followed by group II: zirconia, and the highest mean micro-strain value was found in group III: metal; a statistically significant difference was found between group I (BioHPP) and group III (metal). However, no statistically significant difference was found between group I (BioHPP) and group II (zirconia). CONCLUSION: Using BioHPP as a more resilient superstructure material had little effect on decreasing the stresses generated around dental implant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
