ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the fracture load of different veneers for monolithic single-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made of a novel potential framework material, polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The fracture loads of four PPSU frameworks with different veneers (manual polymer veneer with Ceramage Body A3B; prefabricated polymer veneer with Novo.lign; digital polymer veneer with Telio CAD; digital ceramic veneer with IPS Empress CAD) and a monolithic control group (PPSU, Gehr) were examined initially and after 1,200,000 masticatory (50 N, 1.3 Hz) and 6,000 thermal cycles (5°C/55°C). Fracture analysis was performed using light microscope imaging. Fracture types were classified, and relative frequencies were determined. Univariate analysis of variance, post hoc Scheffé, partial eta squared, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Weibull moduli using the maximum likelihood estimation method were calculated. The defined level of significance was adjusted by Bonferroni correction (P < .005).RESULTS:
Aging did not affect the fracture load values. Single-unit FDPs with a digital ceramic veneer showed lower values than monolithic and manual polymer-veneer specimens. Single-unit FDPs with a prefabricated and digital polymer veneer were in the same value range as specimens with a manual polymer and digital ceramic veneer. No differences were observed between manual polymer veneer and monolithic single-unit FDPs. All veneered specimens showed a fracture of the veneer. For monolithic single-unit FDPs, a plastic deformation was observed.CONCLUSION:
Veneered and monolithic PPSU showed sufficient fracture load values to indicate successful clinical use in single-unit FDPs. The choice of veneering method and material may play a minor role.
