RESUMO

In the oral rehabilitator treatment, the provisory restorations have extremely importance. The resistance and durability of materials used in the execution are critical, especially in extended treatments and in vast toothless spaces. The goal of this work was to demonstrate the resistance and the types of fracture of specimens that simulate a fixed prosthesis of three elements changing the extension of cantilever (7, 14 e 21mm), made of acrylic resin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) autopolymer, with and without reinforcement in its interior, built over implant components. The reinforcements used were: fiberglass (Fibrante® - Angelus®, Londrina, PR, Brazil) and poliaramid fiber (Kevlar® - Du Pont®, USA). The groups have 10 specimens each, including a group of control, without reinforcement. The specimens were submitted to a compressor charge until its fracture. The analysis of results (ANOVA, p <0,05) for the test of resistance, showed that there is no statistic difference between the groups regarding the type of reinforcement; however, there is a significant statistic difference regarding the cantilever extension. When the extension of cantilever was 7mm, all groups showed medium values of resistance to fractures, in N, significant more than the showed by the groups with 14 and 21mm of extension. In relation with the types of fracture, the reinforcement groups show fractures more favorable to be repaired, even when they were partially fractured.
