Journal Title: IP Annals of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Till a prosthodontist provides the patient with a definitive restoration heshe should be given a provisional restorative materials These materials should be biologically mechanically and esthetically compatible and useful to the patient Some physical and mechanical properties of these provisional restorations are of extreme importance like flexural strength hardness wear resistance The importance is to withstand the environment of the oral cavity So in this study we have done this invitro study to compare and evaluate the hardness of four of the provisional restorative materials available commerciallyMaterials and Methods 10 samples each of four commercially available provisional restoration materials namely Integrity Protemp 4 Systemp B and C and Structure 2SC were made and VHN was checked to see the hardness and thus wear resistance of these materialsResults and Conclusion In the present study significant difference was not found in the hardness values for Voco and Systemp C and B whereas Protemp 4 shows greater hardness values than the rest threeKeywords Hardness Wear resistance Provisional restoration
