Mechanical properties of CAD/CAM-fabricated in comparison to conventionally fabricated functional regulator 3 appliances

Abstract Manufacturing of Fränkel's functional regulator 3 (FR3) is complicated and requires extensive knowledge from the dental technician. To determine whether FR3s produced by CAD/CAM techniques (CAD-FR3) meet similar mechanical properties like conventional FR3s (Con-FR3), for each of 10 pat...
