Statement of problem: With the variety of materials and techniques available, the knowledge of which combination provides frameworks with a better biomechanical behavior and greater fit accuracy is essential for a planning aiming prosthesis longevity. Purpose. To analyze which manufacture technique and material provides a better stress/strain and internal fit correlation. Material and methods. The groups were divided according to framework material and fabrication method: Titanium milled (TiCAD), Zirconia milled (ZrCAD), Cobalt-Chromium alloy milled (CoCrCAD), one-piece casting CoCr alloy (CoCrCAS) and cast and welded CoCr alloy (CoCrWEL). Four external hexagon implants and their respective mini-abutments were placed parallel to each other in a polyurethane model. This model was duplicated, scanned, and a single framework design was created to be used for all milled groups. Casting was done from a wax milled pattern following the same framework design used for the other groups. In preload condition, the strains generated by each framework were recorded by strain gauges fixed around the implants. The internal fit was evaluated by micro-CT scanning. Results. Regarding the uniformity of stress distribution, ZrCAD and CoCrCAD groups presented irregular stress distribution, while TiCAD presented the most uniform distribution. Regarding the internal fit, the TiCAD group presented values significantly better than the others, but not statistically different from ZrCAD. The three manufacturing methods associated to CoCr alloy presented no statistical differences among them. The correlation between the method was statistically significant. Conclusion. The physical and mechanical properties of the complete-arch implant-supported frameworks materials influence the stresses distribution and internal fit. TiCAD presented the best framework stress/strain ratio and internal fit.
