breCAM.multiCOM plus 

breCAM.multiCOM plus is often grouped with PMMA discs because it occupies the same clinical indication space (provisionals, long‑term temporaries, full‑arch prototypes). However, it is not a conventional PMMA. It is an industrially polymerised, highly filled composite—a hybrid material that behaves differently from standard PMMA in several important ways.

Below is a clear breakdown of how multiCOM plus compares to PMMA when used as a “PMMA‑class” disc.

1. Material Composition

multiCOM plus

• Micro‑filled, light‑curing composite
• High filler content → improved strength and wear resistance
• Part of the visio.lign composite system

Standard PMMA

• Pure polymethyl methacrylate
• No fillers
• Lower mechanical performance

Conclusion: multiCOM plus is PMMA‑compatible in workflow, but materially superior.

2. Mechanical Behaviour

multiCOM plus

• Higher flexural strength
• Better fracture toughness
• Shock‑absorbing behaviour ideal for implant temporaries
• More stable margins during milling

PMMA

• Lower strength
• More brittle under load
• Can chip at margins during milling

Outcome: multiCOM plus performs like a “reinforced PMMA” with composite‑level durability.

3. Aesthetic Properties

multiCOM plus

• Tooth‑like translucency and chroma
• Harmonises with visio.lign stains and veneering
• Can be layered or characterised like composite

PMMA

• Good baseline aesthetics
• Limited depth effects
• Less responsive to composite characterisation

Result: multiCOM plus offers a more natural, enamel‑like appearance.

4. Clinical Indications

Both materials are used for:

• Crowns
• Bridges
• Full‑arch provisionals
• Implant temporaries

But multiCOM plus extends further into:

• Long‑term temporaries
• Hybrid veneered structures
• High‑load implant cases

5. Milling & Workflow

multiCOM plus

• Mills cleanly with smooth surfaces
• Less post‑processing
• Compatible with visio.lign bonding and veneering

PMMA

• Mills easily but may require more polishing
• Limited bonding options

In Summary

breCAM.multiCOM plus can be used in place of PMMA, but it is not PMMA. It is a composite disc engineered to outperform PMMA in strength, aesthetics, and longevity while fitting seamlessly into the same CAD/CAM workflows.
