Resistencia a la fractura de coronas dentales fabricadas análogamente vs tecnología cad-cam. Estudio In vitro.

Background. The fracture resistance of the crowns may have an influence on their appearance, according to the method of making them, either analogously or by means of Cad-Cam technology. Objective. To compare the resistance to the fracture of the individual crowns made by two manufacturing methods, under computer-aided design and computerized manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and injected. Methods. In vitro study. Sample size 20 crowns in two groups: 10 crowns using CAD-CAM technology and 10 crowns injected. Crowns were subjected to compressive loads in a universal testing machine, with a speed of 1mm / min and a cell load of 5kN until obtaining the maximum bill for these. Data were statistically analyzed using the Shapiro Wilk tests, Mann Whitney p = 0.05. Results. Crowns manufactured by Cad-Cam obtained a minimum of 602.5 Newton and a maximum of 1093 Newton, while the crowns manufactured analogously obtained a minimum of 525.2 Newton and a maximum of 1773 Newton in the experiment with the machine Universal test to achieve their fracture. A significant difference was obtained in the invoice resistance test between both manufacturing methods (p <0.001). Conclusion. Pressed Lithium Disilicate crowns obtained higher fracture resistance than crowns under design and manufacturing by computer (CAD-CAM). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
