Objectives: To evaluate and compare the flexural strength and the elastic moduli of three provisional crown materials
(methyl methacrylate based autopolymerized resin, bis acryl composite based autopolymerized resin and
urethane dimethacrylate based light polymerized resin) after storing in artificial saliva and testing at intervals of
24 hours and 7 days.
Study design: A metal master mould with four slots of dimensions 25x2x2 mm was fabricated to obtain samples
of standard dimensions. A total of 135 specimens were thus obtained with 45 each of three provisional materials.
Further 15 samples of each group were tested after storing for one hour at room temperature and again at intervals
of 24 hours and 7 days after storing in artificial saliva. Three point flexural tests were carried out in the universal
testing machine to calculate the flexural strength and the elastic modulus. The changes were calculated and data was
analyzed with Fisher's test and ANOVA.
Results: The flexural strength of the methyl methacrylate resin reduced significantly while bis-acrylic composite
resin showed a significant increase in its flexural strength after storing in artificial saliva for 24 hours and the values
of both remained constant thereafter. Contrary to these findings, light polymerized resin showed a significant
decrease in flexural strength after storing in artificial saliva for 24 hours and then significantly increased in flexural
strength after 7 days. However the changes in the values for elastic modulus of respective materials were statistically
insignificant.
Conclusion: Methacrylate based autopolymerizing resin showed the highest flexural strength and elastic moduli
after fabrication and after storing in artificial saliva and for 24 hours and 7 days. Bis-acrylic composite resin showed
the least flexural strength and elastic moduli.
