Elastic, viscoelastic and viscoplastic contributions to compliance during deformation under stress in prosthodontic temporization materials

Purpose: The goal of this investigation was to characterize the compliance properties in selected polymers used for temporary (provisional crown and bridge) applications. Method: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)- and polyethyl methacrylate (PEMA)-based JET and TRIM II were investigated along with two...
