Evaluations of Two Reinforced Polymers Used as Metal-Free Substructures in Fixed Dental Restorations

摘要

The development of new classes of dental materials determined the apparition of reinforced polymers, as BioHPP and Trinia, used for core in non-metallic prosthetic restorations, including in implants non-metallic superstructure. The purpose of the study was to present the results of the comparative clinical trials referring to the use of BioHPP and Trinia resins as core in fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. The researches were performed on 33 patients in which we realized 71 fixed prosthetic restorations. According to the six evaluation criteria used in research, we conducted biannual monitoring meetings over two and half years period for registrations of comparative results in the use of these two reinforced polymers as core. The results of the study demonstrated that both type of these materials exhibit a certain degree of elasticity and presents many advantages, therefore these represent a beneficial acquisition in patients oral health.
