In-vitro mechanical performance of three CAD-CAM bar designs for implant-supported metal–resin hybrid prostheses: a preliminary pilot study
In this pilot in-vitro study, the veneering resin showed high resistance under simulated masticatory loading. The combination of CAD-CAM design, laser-sintered fabrication, and retentive elements may enhance mechanical performance. Further studies with larger sample sizes and cyclic loading are warranted to validate these preliminary findings.
