A Comparative In Vivo Analysis of Microhardness in Three Provisional Restorative Materials

The findings indicated that heat-cured PMMA offered superior resistance to intraoral degradation, guiding clinicians toward optimal material selection for durable provisional restorations. Further studies should assess their long-term performance and additional properties.
