Introduction: Fixed provisional prostheses are crucial in dental restoration, since they protect the pulp and periodontal tissue and allow occlusion to be evaluated. The most used materials for these prostheses are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and bisacrylic resins, both known for their mechanical resistance and aesthetic stability. These materials are subjected to different conditions, such as artificial saliva, distilled water and dry environments, to evaluate their performance in the oral cavity during functional loading. Method: The study carried out was qualitative, descriptive and transversal, with a review of scientific articles from 2019 to 2024, and to achieve the search objective, reviews of scientific articles found in various databases such as PudMed, Scielo, Google Scholar were carried out. in order to support a doctoral thesis in Biomedical Sciences at the Italian University Institute of Rosario. Objective: To investigate the compressive strength of bisacrylic and polymethyl methacrylate resins for provisional prostheses exposed to different media through a systematic literature review. Results: The study focused on provisional prostheses with an optimal duration of 6 to 12 weeks, highlighting the importance of precision in their adaptation to avoid problems such as plaque accumulation and color changes. The use of appropriate materials is essential, with bis-acrylic resins being the most used due to their speed of production. Conclusion: Finally, proper planning and management of provisional prostheses in restorative dentistry is key to improving clinical outcomes and patient experience.
