Abstract :

 Autopolymerizing acrylic resins have traditionally been selected for faication of provisional restoration. Heat polymerization of acrylic resin materials can be used when provisional restorative treatment will be required for extended periods of time or when additional strength is required. This investigation compared the transverse strength of two provisional restorative materials (Polymethylmethacrylate,Tempron and Bis–acryl composite resin, Protemp II) at different curing temperatures. Significant differences in transverse strength were found between groups as the curing temperatures increased.
