Summary. This laboratory study measured how different dental crown materials absorb shock from chewing forces. Researchers tested nine materials—zirconia, glass-ceramics, gold alloy, composite resins, and acrylic resins—using a robotic chewing machine. Acrylic and composite resin crowns absorbed the most force, transmitting the least stress to implant bone, while zirconia transmitted the highest forces. Material choice significantly affects how much force reaches the bone around dental implants.
