Effect of tooth preparation design on fracture load and fracture behavior of deciduous crowns fabricated by subtractive and additive manufacturing.
Researchers compared how different margin designs affected the strength and failure patterns of pediatric crowns made from five CAD-CAM materials (three subtractive, two additive). Material type and margin design significantly influenced fracture resistance and failure mode, with additive materials showing different fracture behaviors possibly related to their internal structure.
