The 3D finite element model designed in this study was used to demonstrate that implant-supported crowns fabricated with four different CAD-CAM RCs showed no critical stress concentrations in the bone or implant under all loading conditions. These results suggest that CAD-CAM RC blocks could be used as an alternative material for implant-supported restorations in the posterior region in terms of stress distribution.
