Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the compressive strength of traditional open-faced stainless-steel crowns (OFSSC) with a new type called preformed OFSSC (POFSSC) that uses various restorative materials.
- A total of 75 3D-printed models were tested, divided into five groups based on the type of crown and restorative material used, followed by rigorous thermocycling and compressive strength testing using Instron.
- Results showed that the POFSSC with restorative composite (G2) had the highest compressive strength, significantly outperforming the traditional crowns (G1), while the POFSSC with resin-reinforced glass-ionomer (G5) exhibited the lowest strength and the highest failure rate in
