Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of an implant-supported crown made using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) resin composite (RC) blocks in the posterior region.

Material And Methods: Four commercially available CAD-CAM RC blocks were used in this study: Cerasmart 300 (CS300; GC, Tokyo, Japan), Katana Avencia P Block (KAP; Kuraray Noritake Dental, Niigata, Japan); KZR HR3 Gamma Theta (HR3; Yamakin, Osaka, Japan), and Estelite P block (ESP; Tokuyama Dental, Tokyo, Japan). Katana Zirconia STML (ST; Kuraray Noritake Dental) was used as the control group.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the optical properties of supra-nano spherical fillers with different diameters and the color matching ability of resin composites (RC) incorporating these fillers.

Methods: Two types of SiO-ZrO nano fillers with different diameters (150nm and 260nm) were used. The size distribution of each filler was measured and filler morphology was observed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the validity of in silico models of three-point bending tests to reflect in vitro physical properties obtained from three commercially available computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) resin composite blocks and demonstrate notchless triangular prism analysis with those properties.

Material And Methods: Three types of commercially available CAD/CAM resin composite blocks were used: Cerasmart 300 (CS300; GC, Tokyo, Japan), Katana Avencia P Block (AP; Kuraray Noritake Dental, Tokyo, Japan), and KZR CAD HR3 Gamma Theta (GT; Yamakin, Osaka, Japan). In vitro/in silico three-point bending tests were conducted to obtain elastic modulus and fracture strain for non-linear dynamic finite element analysis (n = 10/each).
