Cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) metal is one of the widely used biomaterials in the fabrication of dental prosthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in the properties of metals and bond strength with ceramics depending on the manufacturing methods of Co-Cr alloy. Co-Cr alloy specimens were prepared in three different ways: casting, milling, and selective laser melting (SLM). The mechanical properties (elastic modulus, yield strength, and flexural strength) of the alloys were investigated by flexure method in three-point bending mode, and microstructures of the specimens were analyzed. After application of the veneering ceramic through the three-point bending test, bond strength of the Metal-Ceramic was investigated. The cracked surfaces were observed by means of energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with backscattered electron (BSE) images. In mechanical properties, the elastic modulus was highest for the casting group, and the yield strength and flexural strength were lowest for the milling group. The SLM group showed finer homogeneous crystalline-microstructure, and a layered structure was observed at the fractured surface. After the ceramic bond strength test, all groups showed a mixed failure pattern. The casting group showed the highest bond strengths, whereas there was no significant difference between the other two groups. However, all groups have met the standard of bond strength according to international standards organization (ISO) with the appropriate passing rate. The results of this study indicate that the SLM manufacturing method may have the potential to replace traditional techniques for fabricating dental prosthesis.
