Abstract
One of the most critical aspects of successful crown and bridgework is temporary restorations. Failure of temporary restoratins often affects the patient's confidence and mau result in unscheduled appointments for repair. This study compared the the fracture toughness of two materials commonly used to fabricate provisional restorations, namely Coldpac, a polymethyl methacrylate and Protemp 3 Garant, a bis-acryl composite. It also compard the fracture toughness of the two materials when reinforced with stainless steel wire, glass fibers and polythylene fibers.
