Abstract:
The fracture strength and behavior of a novel resin-faced computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crown were investigated to evaluate application to the anterior teeth. Resin-faced CAD/CAM crowns were fabricated by arranging a resin composite on a frame prepared from a CAD/CAM resin block. The fracture strength was evaluated after 24 h of complete polymerization (day 0) and after water immersion for 30 days (day 30). Uniaxial loading was applied to the center point between the incisal edge and cingulum (loading point 1) or at 1.5 mm from the incisal edge (loading point 2). There was no significant difference in the fracture strength of the resin-faced CAD/CAM crowns between day 0 and 30 at loading point 1. At loading point 2, they exhibited decreased fracture strength after water immersion; however, the mean strength was still >1 kN. This novel crown showed good mechanical properties to serve as a prosthesis for the anterior teeth.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Strength of Cement
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...
