Shear Bond Strength of Artificial Teeth to Conventional and Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Denture Bases: An In Vitro Comparison
Bond strength is highly dependent on material compatibility. The combination of CAD/CAM-milled teeth and bases from pre-polymerized high-pressure PMMA provides superior adhesion. In conventional heat-cured systems, the composite teeth yield the strongest bond. For optimal clinical durability in digital workflows, matched CAD/CAM tooth-based systems should be preferred.
