Poster Presentation: 49. Late-breaking News - Dental Materials II: no. 393OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of three-unit fiber reinforced composite (FRC) fixed dental prostheses (FDP) with three different types of pontics. METHODS: Inlay preparations for retaining FDP were made to lower second premolar and second molar of a phantom model. We aimed to replace the lower left first molar using a pontic. Twenty four FDPs with fiber-reinforced composite frameworks (everStick, StickTech-GC) were fabricated. Two continuous unidirectional fiber reinforcements were attached with flowable composite (Stick®FLOW), and composite (G-ӕnial, GC), between inlays of the abutment. One inlay preparation model with the FRC framework was scanned by CEREC. An artificial tooth of a denture was scanned by CEREC to multiply its form to ...postprin
