Evaluation of colour change, marginal adaptation, fracture strength, and failure type in maxillary and mandibular premolar zirconia endo-crowns. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:970. [PMID: 39169344 PMCID: PMC11340096 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04755-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different preparation designs on the mean colour change (ΔE*), marginal adaptation, fracture resistance, and fracture types of maxillary and mandibular premolar endocrowns (ECs). METHODOLOGY A total of 40 extracted maxillary and mandibular premolars were treated endodontically, and each type was subdivided according to the remaining axial height (remaining walls on all surfaces; 2-4 mm) and 2 mm inside the pulp chamber. Specimens were immersed in coffee for 14 days, ΔE* was determined, marginal adaptation was observed, fracture forces test was conducted, and the samples were examined visually at 10× magnification to evaluate failure type and identify fracture origin. The data were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, and significance between and within groups was evaluated through ANOVA. The p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The ΔE* values of the maxillary premolar with 2 mm axial height were the highest (6.8 ± 0.89 units), whereas the lowest value was observed in the mandibular premolar with 4 mm axial height (2.9 ± 0.53 units). Significant differences (p < 0.05) in teeth and design were observed. The marginal adaptation of the mandibular premolar with 4 mm axial height was the highest (30.20 ± 1.53 μm), whereas the lowest marginal adaptation was observed in the maxillary premolar with 2 mm axial height (14.38 ± 0.99 μm), and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The maximum fracture force was observed in maxillary premolars with 2 mm axial height (2248.15 ± 134.74 N), and no statistically significant difference (p = 0.07) was observed between maxillary and mandibular premolars at 4 mm axial height. CONCLUSION The recorded ΔE* values of the ECs were within clinically acceptable values or slightly higher, and the marginal adaption values were within acceptable and recommended clinical values in µm. EC preparation with 2 mm axial height in both arches recorded the highest fracture forces. Type III (split fracture) failure was recorded as the highest in the maxillary and mandibular premolar ECs with different axial wall heights.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multilayer monolithic zirconia (M-Zr) crowns can be engineered to achieve gradational translucency and color intensity. However, this modification may compromise the mechanical strength, raising concerns regarding the ability of M-Zr crowns to withstand occlusal stresses. The effects of M-Zr crown thickness on translucency and ability to endure occlusal forces were investigated at different tooth positions (incisors, premolars, and molars). The objective was to determine the minimal thickness of M-Zr crowns used in tooth preparation to meet aesthetic and functional demands. METHODS M-Zr samples (Vita A1) with four thicknesses (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm) were prepared and subjected to translucency testing using a digital colorimeter by 3-third and 9-square division methods. Crown-shaped M-Zr samples with three thicknesses (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm) and three tooth positions (incisor, premolar, and molar) were digitally designed, and 2.0 mm metal abutments were fabricated. The samples were bonded to the abutments; their fracture characteristics were evaluated using a universal testing machine, and their fracture surfaces examined using an optical microscope. Statistical analyses included the Shapiro-Wilk test, Pearson correlation, and one-way and two-way ANOVA with a post hoc Tukey HSD test (α = 0.05). RESULTS Color analysis results revealed a significant negative correlation between thickness and translucency (r < -0.96, P < 0.01), with the highest values in the incisal region. Cross-sectional profiles confirmed the uniform thickness and morphology of the digitally designed M-Zr crowns. The results of fracture strength analysis showed position-dependent variability, a strong positive correlation with thickness (r > 0.96, P < 0.01), and fracture strengths consistently exceeding 1200 N across all tooth positions. Fracture patterns indicated that thinner crowns at the incisors and molars were more prone to cracking, whereas those at the premolars demonstrated significantly higher strength (4872.51 N, P < 0.05), only with crack or even no fracture occurring at 2.0 mm. CONCLUSIONS Thickness significantly influenced both the translucency and fracture strength of M-Zr, with the tooth position playing an additional role, albeit to a lesser extent. Although thinner crowns exhibited lower strength at each tooth position, even at a thickness of 1.0 mm, fracture strength exceeding 1200 N was maintained, surpassing the typical occlusal forces. Thus, it can be asserted that M-Zr crowns with a minimum thickness of 1.0 mm can meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Advanced lithium disilicate: A comparative evaluation of translucency and fatigue failure load to other ceramics for monolithic restorations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 148:106192. [PMID: 37865017 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the surface roughness, translucency, fatigue failure load (FFL), and number of cycles for fatigue failure (CFF) of a recently released lithia-based material called advanced lithium disilicate and three other ceramics indicated for monolithic restorations. First, ALD (advanced lithium disilicate, CEREC Tessera, Dentsply Sirona), LD (lithium disilicate, IPS e. max CAD, Ivoclar), LS (lithium silicate-disilicate, Suprinity, Vita Zahnfabrik), and 4Y-PSZ (Yttria-stabilized zirconia, IPS e.max ZirCAD MT, Ivoclar) discs (n = 15, Ø = 10 mm and thickness = 1.0 mm) were fabricated from CAD/CAM blocks/discs, A2 shade. The discs were sintered/crystallized and subsequently analyzed by a rugosimeter (Mitutoyo SJ-410) to determine Ra and Rz surface roughness parameters. Next, they were evaluated to determine the translucency parameter (TP) using a bench-top spectrophotometer (SP60, EX-Rite). The discs were subsequently cemented to glass fiber epoxy resin discs, and the specimens were tested under cyclic loading (Step-test), immersed in distilled water at a frequency of 20 Hz, with an initial cyclic load of 200 N for 5,000 cycles and increments of 50 N every 10,000 cycles until failure. Fatigue failure load (FFL) and number of cycles for fatigue failure (CFF) were recorded for subsequent Kaplan Meier analysis, with post-hoc Mantel-Cox and Weibull analysis (α = 0.05). Complementary fractographic, topographic and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses (EDS) were performed. 4Y-PSZ showed higher survival (p < 0.05), with higher FFL and CFF (1077 N; 180,333 cycles), followed by LD (980 N; 161,000 cycles), LS (937 N; 152,333 cycles) and ALD (910 N; 147,000 cycles). No differences were observed between the tested groups regarding Weibull modulus. ALD presented TP (28.14) equal to DL (28.27) and higher than LS (25.51). All lithia-based materials had higher translucency than 4Y-PSZ (TP = 8.62) (p < 0.05). ALD appears to have a similar elemental composition to LD and LSD for oxygen and silicon. ALD and LSD have a similar zirconium content. Fractures originated on the cemented surface of the ceramic discs. Lithia-based ceramics showed lower surface roughness, with ALD (Ra = 0.04 μm; Rz = 0.66 μm) showing the lowest values (p < 0.05). Despite showing lower FFL when compared to LD and 4Y-PSZ, ALD has compatible translucency and mechanical fatigue performance with its indication for fabricating monolithic, anterior and posterior adhesively cemented single-unit restorations. However, further studies are needed to substantiate its clinical performance.

Evaluation of one versus two glaze firings on the color stability and mechanical properties of an extrinsically characterized monolithic CAD-CAM lithium disilicate glass ceramic. J Prosthodont 2023. [PMID: 37947149 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of 1 versus 2 glaze firings on the color and mechanical properties of an extrinsically characterized lithium disilicate ceramic after thermal cycling, brushing, or both. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty specimens were divided into 2 groups: 1 glaze firing (GL1) and 2 glaze firings (GL2). Each group was subdivided into 4 groups (n = 10), according to the experimental conditions: thermal-cycling, brushing, thermal-cycling + brushing, and immersion in distilled water (control). Color variation, surface roughness, and Vickers microhardness were analyzed before each designated experiment and after the simulated periods of 2.5, 5, and 10 years. Three-way mixed ANOVA was used for all outcomes, followed by 1-way ANOVA, repeated measures 1-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post hoc test, and t-test to check for statistical differences (α = 0.05). RESULTS Thermal cycling generated greater color changes in the GL1 group at 2.5 and 5 years (p < 0.001; p = 0.013). Brushing generated color changes in GL1 at 5 years (p = 0.003) and in GL2 at 10 years (p = 0.017). Regarding surface roughness, the GL1 group suffered alterations in thermal cycling + brushing at 5 years. In the control group, the GL1 group exhibited higher roughness values than GL2 (p < 0.05). Most of the groups experienced an increase in microhardness at 2.5 years (p < 0.05). In the GL1 group, thermal-cycling increased the microhardness at 5 years (p = 0.006); at 5 and 10 years, the GL1 group had a higher microhardness than the GL2 in thermal-cycling + brushing (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Ceramics with 1 glaze firing showed greater color, roughness, and microhardness changes compared to those submitted to 2 firings.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the fatigue resistance of monolithic zirconia (Yz) and multilayer ceramic structures using the CAD-on technique in different thicknesses. Fifty (N=50) standardized single crowns preparations were made in fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin (NEMA grade G10), digitalized, and restorations were machined in CAD-CAM, composing 5 groups (n= 10): Control: 1.5 mm (milled zirconia framework + manual layered porcelain); Yz monolithic 1.5 mm; Yz monolithic 1.0 mm; CAD-on 1.5 mm; and CAD-on 1.0 mm (milled zirconia framework 0.5 mm thickness bonded by a low fuse ceramic to a milled lithium disilicate layer of 1.0 mm or 0.5 mm, respectively). The G10 bases were conditioned with 10% hydrofluoric acid; the crowns were air abraded with 110 μm alumina particles; and then luted onto each other with self-adhesive resin cement. A cyclic fatigue test was performed (initial load: 400N for 10,000 cycles, frequency of 20 Hz, step size of 200N) until failure, and the data was submitted to a survival statistical analysis. No failures were observed at Yz monolithic 1.5 mm. High and similar performance was observed for Cad-On groups and Yz monolithic 1.0 mm. The control group depicted the worst behavior. The Weibull modulus of CAD-on 1.5 mm was higher than the control while being similar to the other conditions. Both the monolithic systems and the CAD-on technique showed high and similar fatigue fracture behavior and survival rates, which were also higher than the control bilayer system. Both systems reduced the occurrence of delamination failures, making them suitable for clinical use.

Residual stress associated with crystalline phase transformation of 3-6 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramics induced by mechanical surface treatments. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 146:106067.

Abstract
Monolithic dental prostheses made of 3-6 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3-6YSZ) have gained popularity owing to their improved material properties and semi-automated fabrication processes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the influence of mechanical surface treatments, such as polishing, grinding, and sandblasting, on the residual stress of 3-6YSZ used for monolithic prostheses in association with crystalline phase transformation. Plate specimens were prepared from five dental zirconia blocks: Aadva Zirconia ST (3YSZ), Aadva Zirconia NT (6YSZ), Katana HT (4YSZ), Katana STML (5YSZ), and Katana UTML (6YSZ). The specimens were either polished using 1, 3, or 9 μm diamond suspensions, ground using 15, 35, or 55 μm diamond discs, or sandblasted at 0.2, 0.3, or 0.4 MPa. The residual stress, crystalline phase, and hardness were analyzed using the cosα method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Vickers hardness test, respectively. Additionally, we analyzed the residual stress on the surfaces of monolithic zirconia crowns (MZCs) made of 4YSZ, 5YSZ, and 6YSZ, which were processed using clinically relevant procedures, including manual grinding, followed by polishing using a dental electric motor on the external surface, and sandblasting on the internal surface. Residual stress analysis demonstrated that grinding and sandblasting, particularly the latter, resulted in the generation of compressive residual stress on the surfaces of the plate specimens. XRD revealed that the ground and sandblasted specimens contained a larger amount of the rhombohedral phase than that of the polished specimens, which may be a cause of the residual stress. Sandblasting significantly increased the Vickers hardness compared to polishing, which may possibly be due to the generation of compressive residual stress. In the case of MZCs, compressive residual stress was detected not only on the sandblasted surface, but also on the polished surface. The difference in the residual stress between the plate and crown specimens may be related to the force applied during the automated and manual grinding and polishing procedures. Further studies are required to elucidate the effects of the compressive residual stress on the clinical performance of MZCs.

Abstract
During the manufacture of ceramic restorations there is an important step of finishing and polishing and the effects of different types of these procedures on the surface characteristics of ceramics are not known for sure. AIM To evaluate the effects of various surface treatments and immersion in coloring substances on the roughness, microhardness, and color stability of CAD-CAM monolithic ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHOD The ceramics used were lithium disilicate reinforced with zirconium dioxide (Suprinity), lithium disilicate (E.max) or leucite (Empress). They were subjected to two surface treatments: glazing (group G) (n=20) or mechanical polishing (group P) (n=20). Then they were divided into two subgroups (n=10) to be treated with the staining substance (coffee or water). Roughness, microhardness and color were measured before and after treatment. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and multiple comparisons were performed with Tukey tests at 5% significance level. RESULTS Roughness was lower in all tested ceramics after polishing than after glazing. Microhardness was the same for polished and glazed E.max, higher in glazed than polished Empress, and higher in polished than glazed Suprinity. Analysis of the effects of glazing and polishing on the individual ceramics showed that the ΔE2000 and ΔWID data of the E.max ceramic subjected to polishing showed greater change. Mechanical polishing is a good option for surface treatment of monolithic ceramics. CONCLUSION Glazing was inferior and less satisfactory than polishing. Glazing generates changes that can lead to color instability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare fracture resistance, translucency, and color reproducibility, as well as the effect of aging on the fracture load and color stability of novel monolithic CAD/CAM ceramics. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred crowns of uniform thickness were milled from five ceramic blocks (n = 20): partially crystallized lithium disilicate (PLD) and fully crystallized lithium disilicate (FLD), lithium metasilicate (LMS), 4Y-TZP (SMZ), and 5Y-TZP (UMZ) monolithic zirconia. PLD crowns were glazed, LMS was fired, and FLD was polished. SMZ and UMZ crowns were sintered and polished. Crowns were adhesively cemented to epoxy dies. Half of the crowns (n = 10) were subjected to 1.200.000 load cycles with thermal cycling. Color space values L, a, b defined by the Commission Internationale de l´Eclairage (CIELAB) were measured before and after aging, and (∆E) was calculated. Both aged and non-aged specimens were loaded until fracture in a universal testing machine and the fracture load was recorded. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractographic analysis were carried out on fractured fragments of representative samples. For translucency and color reproducibility, 50 rectangular-shaped specimens were fabricated and processed as described previously. Color values were measured over black and white backgrounds, and the translucency parameter (TP) was computed. Using the shade verification mode, (∆E) to shade A3 was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way and two-way ANOVA, and t-test. RESULTS Aging did not affect fracture resistance significantly (p > 0.05). The highest mean fracture load was obtained for the SMZ and UMZ. A significant color change was observed after aging in all groups. The highest TP was noted for FLD. SMZ and UMZ had the best shade match. CONCLUSIONS Zirconia showed higher fracture resistance and color stability than lithium silicate ceramics. Lithium silicate ceramics were more translucent. The experimental FLD demonstrated high translucency. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Tested ceramics showed sufficient stability to withstand masticatory forces. Characterization of final restorations might be mandatory for better color match.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the shear bond strength (SBS) and surface roughness (Ra) of lithium disilicate ceramic (LDC) after using different pretreatment methods i.e., Non-Thermal Plasma (NTP), self-etching ceramic primer (SECP), curcumin photosensitizer (CP), Er and Cr: YSGG lasers (ECL) in comparison to hydrofluoric acid + Silane (HF + S) MATERIALS AND METHODS: : A total of fifty LDC discs were prepared. All the discs were arbitrarily divided into five groups based on the surface conditioning used (n=10). Group 1: PDT+S, group 2: HF+ S, group 3: NTP + S, group 4: SECP, and group 5: ECL+ S. A confocal optical microscope was used to calculate Ra for each sample. A self-adhesive resin cement was applied followed by LED light curing. A universal testing machine was used to assess SBS and a stereomicroscope was used to determine the failure mode. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a Tukey post hoc test was used to analyze data (p=0.05) RESULTS: : The highest bond integrity of resin luting bonded to conditioned LDS ceramics were presented by group 2 (HF+ S) (21.48±1.39 MPa) and lowest by group 1 (CP+S) (13.01±1.19 MPa) respectively. Intergroup comparison analysis revealed that group 1(13.01±1.19 MPa) and group 3 (14.28±0.62 MPa) displayed comparable outcomes of bond integrity(p>0.05). Similarly, it was observed that group 2 (21.48±1.39 MPa) and group 5 (21.31±1.85MPa) exhibited comparable values of bond strength(p>0.05). Specimens conditioned with HF+ S showed the highest Ra (1445.86±0.019µm). However, discs treated with SECP exhibited the lowest Ra (0139.76±0.081µm) CONCLUSION: Er, Cr: YSGG laser retains the ability to be used as an LDC surface conditioner as an alternative to HF+ S.Both the methods of pretreatment results in high surface roughness of LDC.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1171.

Abstract
Recent trends to improve the aesthetic properties-tooth-like color and translucency-of ceramic dental crowns have led to the development of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) materials with higher stabilizer content. These 5Y-TZP materials contain more cubic or t' phase, which boosts translucency. The tradeoff as a consequence of a less transformable tetragonal phase is a significant reduction of strength and toughness compared to the standard 3Y-TZP composition. This study aims at determining the durability of such 5Y-TZP crowns under lab conditions simulating the conditions in the oral cavity during mastication and consumption of different nutrients. The test included up to 10,000 thermal cycles from 5 °C to 55 °C "from ice cream to coffee" and a chewing simulation representing 5 years of use applying typical loads. The investigation of the stress-affected zone at the surface indicates only a very moderate phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic after different varieties of testing cycles. The surface showed no indication of crack formation after testing. It can, therefore, be assumed that over the simulated period, dental crowns of 5Y-TZP are not prone to fatigue failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the fracture strength of angulated hybrid abutments supporting anterior single crowns on narrow-diameter implants (NDIs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia abutment with angulations of labial inclination 0° (TZ0Z), 15° (TZ15Z), 30° (TZ30Z) and palatal inclination 15° (TZ - 15Z) was designed on 3.3-mm titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) NDIs. Titanium abutment connected with Ti-Zr implant (TZ0T) and 0° zirconia abutment connected with pure titanium (Ti) implant (T0Z) were control groups. Thirty-six un-restored abutments and 36 abutments restored with highly translucent zirconia (HTZ) crowns were tested. Failure loads were compared among 6 groups, and bending moments were calculated for comparison between un-restored and restored abutments. RESULTS Failure loads of un-restored abutments were affected by the abutment angle. Sixty-seven percent samples in TZ30Z and 83% samples in TZ - 15Z group fractured at the thinnest part of the zirconia abutment and exhibited lower failure load (p < .05). Failure loads of restored abutments were close to or exceeded the maximum bite force of anterior teeth, and no differences were found among six groups (p > .05). Except TZ15Z and TZ0T group, the bending moment increased with the crown construction, especially for TZ30Z and TZ - 15Z groups (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS The fracture strength of hybrid abutments restored with HTZ crown on Ti-Zr NDIs exceeded the bite forces of anterior teeth for all the groups and were not affected by the abutment angle. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In terms of fracture strength, Ti-Zr NDIs combined with angulated hybrid abutments and HTZ crowns can be used in the anterior region.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:ma15196927. [PMID: 36234281 PMCID: PMC9573129 DOI: 10.3390/ma15196927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has been introduced into implant dentistry as a viable alternative to current implant abutment materials. However, data on its physico-mechanical properties are still scarce. The present study sought to shed light on this topic utilizing an ex vivo chewing simulator model. A total of 48 titanium two-piece implants were allocated into three groups (n = 16 per group): (1) implants with PEEK abutments and an internal butt-joint connection (PBJ), (2) implants with PEEK abutments and an internal conical implant-abutment connection (PC), and (3) implants with zirconia abutments and an internal butt-joint connection (ZA). All abutments were restored with a non-precious metal alloy crown mimicking the upper right central incisor. A dynamic chewing simulation of half (n = 8) of the specimens per group was performed with 5 × 106 cycles and a load of 49 N at a frequency of 1.7 Hz with thermocycling between 5 and 55 °C. The other eight specimens served as unloaded controls. Surface roughness, implant-abutment connection microgaps (IACMs), and the titanium base-abutment interface microgaps (TAIMs) in the loaded groups were evaluated. Finally, a quasi-static loading test was performed in a universal testing machine with all samples to evaluate fracture resistance. Overall, 23 samples survived the artificial chewing process. One abutment screw fracture was observed in the PC group. The ZA group showed higher surface roughness values than PEEK abutments. Furthermore, ZA revealed lower TAIM values compared to PEEK abutments. Similarly, ZA was associated with lower IACM values compared to PBJ. Fracture loads/bending moments were 1018 N/704 N cm for PBJ, 966 N/676 N cm for PC, and 738 N/508 N cm for ZA, with no significant differences compared to the unloaded references. Artificial loading did not significantly affect fracture resistance of the examined materials. PEEK abutments were associated with better load-bearing properties than zirconia abutments, although they showed higher microgap values. PEEK abutments could, therefore, be feasible alternatives to zirconia abutments based on the present ex vivo findings resembling 20 years of clinical service.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrieval study was to analyze the fracture features and identify the fracture origin of zirconia-based single crowns that failed during clinical use. METHODS Thirty-five fractured single crowns were retrieved from dental practices (bi-layered, n=15; monolithic, n=20). These were analyzed according to fractographic procedures by optical and scanning electron microscopy to identify fracture patterns and fracture origins. The fracture origins were closely examined. The crown margin thickness and axial wall height were measured. RESULTS Three types of failure modes were observed: total fractures, marginal semilunar fractures, and incisal chippings. Most of the crowns (23) had fracture origins at the crown margin and seven of them had defects in the fracture origin area. The exact fracture origin was not possible to identify due to missing parts in four crowns. The crown wall thickness was 20% thinner and wall height 30% shorter in the fracture origin area compared to the opposite side. CONCLUSIONS The findings in this study show that fractography can reveal fracture origins and fracture modes of both monolithic and bi-layered dental zirconia. The findings indicate that the crown margin on the shortest axial wall is the most common fracture origin site. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Crown design factors such as material thickness at the margin, axial wall height and preparation type affects the risk of fracture. It is important to ensure that the crown margins are even and flawless.

Abstract
Structural durability of screw-cement-retained implant-supported zirconia-based restorations is an important factor in choosing the best type of restoration for clinical use. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thermocycling on the fracture resistance of different types of screw-cement-retained implant-supported zirconia-based restoration. Two experimental groups (monolithic zirconia and porcelain-veneered zirconia) and a control group of porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations were fabricated via CAD-CAM (n = 14 per group). Half of the specimens of each group (n = 7) were subjected to 10000 thermal cycles. The compressive force was applied and the force leading to fracture was measured by using a Universal Testing Machine. The fractured modes were classified under a scanning electron microscope. The data were analyzed through two-way ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and independent samples t-test (α = 0.05). Among the non-thermocycled subgroups, the monolithic zirconia specimens were significantly more fracture-resistant than the porcelain-veneered zirconia and porcelain-fused-to-metal groups (P<0.05); but it was not the same with aging (P>0.05). Thermocycling decreased the fracture resistance of all groups; however, the difference was not statistically significant (P<0.05). The monolithic zirconia presented higher fracture resistance than the bilayered restorations for screw-cement retained implant-supported restorations. Thermocycling decreased the fracture resistance of all types of restorations insignificantly which can be clinically important.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Translucent zirconia materials were developed as an alternative to lithium disilicate materials. However, the effect of sintering temperature and artificial aging on the translucency of zirconia materials is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the translucency of recently developed zirconia materials after different sintering temperatures and the effect of artificial aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS Disk-shaped specimens (Ø15×1 mm) of 3 different monolithic zirconias (Katana UTML, Prettau Anterior, VITA YZ XT) and a control lithium disilicate reinforced glass ceramic (IPS e.max CAD LT) were evaluated. The zirconia specimens were divided into 2 subgroups with different sintering temperatures (1450 °C, 1550 °C) (n=5, N=35). The specimens were artificially aged in a thermocycle tester and a mastication simulator. The translucency parameter (TP) was calculated by measuring with a spectrophotometer. Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze the data (α=.05). RESULTS While the overall TP of monolithic zirconia increased after artificial aging, the lithium disilicate specimens did not show a statistically significant difference (P=.35). The Prettau Anterior and VITA YZ XT specimens had a statistically significant higher TP than Katana UTML (P=.009). Sintering temperature did not have a statistically significant effect on the TP value of monolithic zirconia materials (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS Artificial aging increased the TP, and the sintering temperature did not affect the TP of monolithic zirconia. The use of fully stabilized zirconia may be an alternative to lithium disilicate in esthetic restorations in clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of different placing strategies performed in the connector area on fracture resistance and fracture behaviour of monolithic multi-layered translucent zirconia fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Materials and Methods Thirty 3-unit monolithic FDPs were produced and divided into three groups (n = 10) based on the different strategies for placing the connector area of FDPs in multi-layered zirconia blank with varying contents of yttria ranging from 4 to 5 mol%. The groups were as follows: FDPs with connectors placed in dentin layer with 4 mol% yttria content, FDPs with connectors placed in gradient layer, and FDPs with connectors placed in translucent layer with 5 mol% yttria content. A final group (n = 10) of conventional monolithic zirconia with a monolayer of yttria content (4 mol%) has been used as a control group. The specimens were artificially aged using thermocycling and pre-loading procedures and subsequently loaded to fracture using a universal testing machine. Fracture loads and fracture behaviour were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Fisher’s exact tests and statistically evaluated (p ≤ 0.05). Results There were no significant differences in fracture loads among the groups based on the placing strategies of the connector area of the FDPs in the multi-layered translucent zirconia blank (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in fracture loads between monolithic multi-layered translucent zirconia and conventional monolithic translucent zirconia materials (p > 0.05). Fracture behaviour of FDPs with connector area placed in translucent layer differed significantly compared to FDPs with connector area placed in dentin layer and FDPs in control group (p = 0.004). Conclusion The placing strategies of the connector used in the computer aided design and manufacturing procedures do not considerably affect fracture resistance of monolithic FDPs made of multi-layered translucent zirconia. Monolithic FDPs made of multi-layered translucent zirconia show comparable strength to FDPs made of conventional translucent zirconia, but with different fracture behaviour.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to comprehensively review the revolution of dental zirconia (Zir), including its types, properties, applications, and cementation procedures. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Embase was conducted. The search was limited to manuscripts published in English. The final search was conducted in October 2021. Newly developed monolithic Zir ceramics have substantially enhanced esthetics and translucency. However, this material must be further studied in vitro and in vivo to determine its long-term ability to maintain its exceptional properties. According to the literature, monolithic translucent Zir has had promising results and a high survival rate. Thus, the utilization of this material is indicated when strength and esthetics are needed. Both the materials and methods used for cementation of monolithic Zir have significantly improved, encouraging dentists to use this material, especially when a conservative approach is required. Zir restorations showed promising outcomes, particularly for monolithic Zir crowns supported with implant and fixed dental prostheses.

Abstract
Clinical studies on the behavior of posterior translucent monolithic zirconia restorations are lacking. We assessed the clinical outcome and survival rate of posterior third-generation monolithic zirconia crowns over a 2-year period. A total of 24 patients, requiring 30 posterior full-contour restorations were selected. All abutments were scanned, and crowns were milled and cemented with a self-adhesive dual cure cement. Crowns were assessed using the California Dental Association’s criteria. Gingival status was assessed by evaluating the gingival index, plaque index, periodontal probing depth of the abutments and control teeth, and the margin index of the abutment teeth. Statistical analyses were performed using the Friedman and the Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. During the 2-year follow-up, no biological or mechanical complications were observed, and the survival and success rate was 100%. All restorations ranked as satisfactory throughout the follow-up period. The gingival index and plaque index were worse at the end of the 2-year follow-up. The margin index was stable during the 2 years of clinical service. No significant differences were recorded in periodontal parameters between crowns and control teeth. Third-generation monolithic zirconia could be a reliable alternative to posterior metal–ceramic and second-generation monolithic zirconia posterior crowns.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the fracture resistance and fracture mode of high-translucency monolithic zirconia (HTZ) crowns and porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) crowns. Material and methods A master die was scanned to design and fabricate the HTZ group (n = 10) and PVZ group (n = 10). Both groups were artificially aged before loaded to fracture. The means of fracture loads of the two groups were compared using an independent t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The mode of fracture was determined using a digital magnifier. Results The mean fracture strength for the HTZ group (4,425 ± 177 newtons (N)) was significantly higher than in the PVZ group (1,798 ± 30.9 N) (p-value < 0.001). All crowns in the HTZ group presented core fracture mode. However, crowns in the PVZ group showed both a core and adhesive fracture mode of 60% and 40%, respectively. Conclusion The fracture strength of HTZ crowns is superior to PVZ crowns. The fracture strength of both types surpassed the maximum bite force in the posterior region, which may be deemed clinically adequate.

This study evaluated the performance of zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns supported by implants or cemented to epoxy resin dies.
Methods:
Eigthy zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns each were prepared and assigned in four groups according to the crown material and supporting structure combinations (implant-supported zirconia, die-supported zirconia, implant-supported lithium disilicate, and die-supported lithium disilicate). Ten crowns in each group acted as control while the rest (n=10) underwent thermocycling and fatigue with 100 N loading force for 1.5 million cycles. Specimens were then loaded to fracture in a universal testing machine. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison test with a 95% level of significance.
Results:
No implants or crown failure occurred during fatigue. The mean fracture load values (control, fatigued) in newton were as follows: (4054, 3344) for implant-supported zirconia, (3783, 3477) for die-supported zirconia, (2506, 2207) for implant-supported lithium disilicate, and (2159, 1806) for die-supported lithium disilicate. Comparing the control with the corresponding fatigued subgroup showed a significantly higher fracture load mean of the control group in all cases. Zirconia showed a significantly higher fracture load mean than lithium disilicate (P=0.001, P<0.001). However, comparing crowns made from the same material according to the supporting structure showed no significant difference (P=0.923, P=0.337).
Conclusion:
Zirconia and lithium disilicate posterior crowns have adequate fatigue and fracture resistance required for posterior crowns. However, when heavy fatigue forces are expected, zirconia material is preferable over lithium disilicate. Zirconia and lithium disilicate implant-supported crowns cemented to hybrid abutments should have satisfactory clinical performance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of supporting dies with different mechanical properties on the fracture strengths and failure modes of monolithic zirconia crowns, and identify a suitable die material for testing high-strength ceramic restorations. Thirty six dies from teeth, porous titanium and composite-resin with 36 zirconia crowns were fabricated based on 3D model. Crowns were cemented, then underwent load-to-fracture testing. Fractographic analysis was performed with scanning electron microscopy, and finite element analysis was made. During loading, a high stress concentration zone formed near the loading point and on surface of die. Cracks generated on failure penetrated the crown and extended to die in 9 teeth group specimens, while composite-resin samples exhibited fracture of both crowns and dies. All dies remained intact in porous titanium group. Fracture mode was undistinguishable in all groups. It was concluded that porous titanium appears suitable as die material for dental restorations with high fracture strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of thickness reduction and fatigue on the failure load of monolithic zirconia crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS 140 CAD-CAM fabricated crowns (3Y-TZP, inCorisTZI, Dentsply-Sirona) with different ceramic thicknesses (2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.8, 0.5 mm, respectively, named G2, G1.5, G1, G0.8, and G0.5) were investigated. Dies of a mandibular first molar were made of composite resin. The zirconia crowns were luted with a resin composite cement (RelyX Unicem 2 Automix, 3M ESPE). Half of the specimens (n = 14 per group) were mouth-motion-fatigued (1.2 million cycles, 1.6 Hz, 200 N/ 5 – 55℃, groups named G2-F, G1.5-F, G1-F, G0.8-F, and G0.5-F). Single-load to failure was performed using a universal testing-machine. Fracture modes were analyzed. Data were statistically analyzed using a Weibull 2-parameter distribution (90% CI) to determine the characteristic strength and Weibull modulus differences among the groups. RESULTS Three crowns (21%) of G0.8 and five crowns (36%) of G0.5 showed cracks after fatigue. Characteristic strength was the highest for G2, followed by G1.5. Intermediate values were observed for G1 and G1-F, followed by significantly lower values for G0.8, G0.8-F, and G0.5, and the lowest for G0.5-F. Weibull modulus was the lowest for G0.8, intermediate for G0.8-F and G0.5, and significantly higher for the remaining groups. Fatigue only affected G0.5-F. CONCLUSION Reduced crown thickness lead to reduced characteristic strength, even under failure loads that exceed physiological chewing forces. Fatigue significantly reduced the failure load of 0.5 mm monolithic 3Y-TZP crowns.

Abstract
Monolithic dental prostheses fabricated from 5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (5YZ) have been developed to improve the translucency of conventional 3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the influence of airborne-particle abrasion (APA) and low-temperature degradation (LTD) on the mechanical properties of 5YZ in association with the crystalline phase transformation. In total, 120 disc-shaped specimens of two brands of 5YZ (Lava Esthetic and Katana UTML) were prepared. The specimens were divided into four groups (n = 15 for each group): (i) control, (ii) APA, (iii) LTD, and (iv) APA + LTD groups. APA was performed with 50 μm alumina particles, and LTD was induced by autoclaving at 134 °C for 50 h. The biaxial flexural strength of the specimens was assessed using a piston-on-three-ball test according to ISO 6872:2015, and Vickers hardness was determined using a microhardness tester. The crystalline phase was analyzed by the Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction patterns. APA significantly increased the flexural strength of the Lava Esthetic specimens, whereas LTD hardly affected the strength of both materials. APA and APA + LTD significantly increased the Vickers hardness of both materials. According to Rietveld analysis, the pseudocubic phase was predominant in both materials, i.e., 66 mass% and 81 mass% in the Lava Esthetic and Katana UTML specimens, respectively. APA induced the rhombohedral phase at approximately 37 mass% in both materials, while LTD induced the monoclinic phase at 2.8 mass% in the Lava Esthetic specimens and 0.9 mass% in the Katana UTML specimens. APA + LTD weakly affected the amount of the rhombohedral phase but slightly increased the amount of the monoclinic phase. These findings suggest that APA may improve the mechanical properties of 5YZ, particularly hardness, via the generation of the rhombohedral phase. In contrast, the influence of LTD on the mechanical and microstructural properties of 5YZ was limited.

Abstract
This paper assesses the impact of preheating of adhesive cement on the fracture resistance of lithium disilicate and zirconia restorations. Methods: A total of 80 human maxillary premolar teeth were assigned into 8 groups (n = 10) according to material type (either lithium disilicate or zirconia) and type of resin cement (either LinkForce or Panavia SA) with preheating temperature at 54 °C or at room temperature (25 °C). Teeth were prepared and restored with either lithium disilicate or zirconia restorations. After cementation, specimens were thermal cycled (10,000 cycles, 5 °C/55 °C), then load cycled for 240,000 cycles (50 N). Each specimen was statically loaded until fracture and the load (N) at fracture was recorded, then the failure mode was detected. Statistical analysis of data was performed (p ≤ 0.05). Results: There was no significant difference (p = 0.978) in fracture mean values between LinkForce and Panavia SA. Statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) was revealed between fracture resistance of lithium disilicate restorations cemented with LinkForce at 25 °C and at 54 °C; however there was no significant difference (p = 0.92) between the fracture resistance of lithium disilicate restorations cemented with Panavia SA used at 25 °C and at 54 °C. Regarding the interaction between ceramic material, cement type, and cement preheating, there was no significant effect (p > 0.05) in fracture resistance. The cement type does not influence the fracture resistance of ceramic restorations. Preheating of resin cement has negatively influenced the fracture resistance of all tested groups, except for lithium disilicate cemented using LinkForce cement.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the influence of intraoral and extraoral digitization systems on marginal discrepancy of monolithic lithium disilicate and monolithic zirconia computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) crowns.Methods Forty standardized machined stainless steel specimens with the characteristics of a first molar were manufactured and randomly assigned to two groups (n=20 each), depending on their material: monolithic lithium disilicate ceramic (LM), and monolithic zirconia (ZM). Then, each group was subdivided into two depending on the scanning system used: intraoral scanner (IOS), and extraoral scanner (EOS). The digitization process was standardized with two methacrylate devices, one for each scanner. After scanning and manufacturing of the crowns, the marginal discrepancy was measured under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data analysis was made using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the effect size with Cohen's d.Results All the measurements were within the limits considered acceptable. Regardless the restorative material significant differences between scanners were observed, being the effect from low to moderate. However, no differences were observed between the scanners in either the lithium disilicate or zirconia group.Conclusions The intraoral scan showed lower marginal discrepancy than the extraoral scan in CAD-CAM monolithic crowns, but these differences were not observed in each of the ceramic systems.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia is a polymorphic metastable material which can react through a phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic when exposed to mechanical, physical, or chemical stimuli. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture strength and phase structure of different high-translucency zirconia ceramics depending on the changes in sintering duration and thermocycling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two monolithic zirconia ceramics, Katana (KAT) and NexxZr (NEX), were used to prepare disk-shaped specimens (n=66). The sintering temperature was 1500 °C, and 3 different sintering durations were tested: 1 hour, 2 hours (recommended by the manufacturer), and 3 hours. Thermocycling was applied to half the specimens. Fracture strength was calculated, and the specimens were analyzed with an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) to determine the level of the phase transformation. The normal distribution of the data was analyzed by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare multiple groups (α=.05). The Fisher least significant difference test was applied to identify significant differences in fracture strength. The paired-specimen t test was applied to perform intragroup comparisons. RESULTS Sintering duration significantly affected the fracture strength of KAT (P=.007). For nonthermocycled specimens, the fracture strength of NEX was significantly higher than that of KAT (P<.001). Thermocycling had a significant effect on fracture strength depending on sintering duration and zirconia ceramic interaction (P=.046). CONCLUSIONS The sintering duration only affected the KAT zirconia, and the fracture strength of KAT decreased when sintered for 3 hours. Thermocycling decreased the fracture strength of both zirconias, except when the sintering duration was 2 hours for NEX. The fracture strength was higher for NEX than for KAT. Tetragonal-monoclinic phase transformation was not found for either zirconia according to the XRD analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Monolithic zirconia crowns have become a viable alternative to conventional layered restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the taper, and thus wall thickness, of the abutment or pre-defined cement space affect the fracture resistance or fracture mode of monolithic zirconia crowns. METHODS A model tooth was prepared with a taper of 15° and a shallow circumferential chamfer preparation (0.5 mm). Two additional models were made based on the master model with a taper of 10° and 30° using computer-aided design software. Twenty monolithic 3rd generation translucent zirconia crowns were produced for each model with pre-defined cement space set to either 30 μm or 60 μm (n = 60). The estimated cement thickness was assessed by the replica method. The cemented crowns were loaded centrally in the occlusal fossa at 0.5 mm/min until fracture. Fractographic analyses were performed on all fractured crowns. RESULTS The load at fracture was statistically significant different between the groups (p < 0.05). The crowns with 30° taper fractured at lower loads than those with 10° and 15° taper, regardless of the cement space (p < 0.05). The fracture origin for 47/60 crowns (78%) was in the cervical area, close to the top of the curvature in the mesial or distal crown margin. The remaining fractures started at the internal surface of the occlusal area and propagated cervically. SIGNIFICANCE The fracture resistance of the monolithic zirconia crowns was lower for crowns with very large taper compared to 10 and 15° taper even though the crown walls were thicker.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluation of the effect of three different dynamic fatigue protocols on the fracture resistance of two monolithic strength-gradient zirconia materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 240 specimens (3 × 4 × 45 mm) was milled from two different layers (incisal and middle) of two types of strength-gradient zirconia blanks (IPS e. max ZirCAD MT Multi A2 vs. IPS e. max ZirCAD Prime A2), resulting in 60 specimens per material and layer group (IPS e. max ZirCAD MT Multi A2: incisal (MI), middle (MM); IPS e. max ZirCAD Prime A2: incisal (PI), middle (PM)). Each group was divided into one static (n = 15) and three dynamic fatigue protocols (N = 45, n = 15): i. 50 N increase every 5000 cycles ii. Increase by 5% of static fracture load every 5000 cycles iii. 10 N increase every 1000 cycles until facture. All specimens were loaded until facture in CeraTest 2 k. Kaplan-Meier, Log-Rank and Chi-squared-test as well as Weibull statistics were performed. A fractographic analysis was performed. The specimens were classified according to the number of crack origins and evaluated using the Ciba-Geigy table. RESULTS With regard to the fracture load, in the static loading MI and PI showed a higher fracture load and in dynamic fatigue protocol 2 PI showed a lower fracture load. The number of cycles until fracture only differed within three groups: MM and MI survived a higher number of cycles in dynamic fatigue protocol 2; PI survived a higher number of cycles in dynamic fatigue protocol 2 than in protocol 1. Within dynamic fatigue protocols, PM resisted the highest number of cycles in protocol 1 and 3 and MI in protocol 2. Comparing groups, Weibull modulus differed only within the static loading, with PI showing lower values than MM and MI. Within the material groups, MI showed higher values in static loading than in dynamic fatigue protocol 1 and 2, and PI showed higher values in the dynamic fatigue protocol 3 than in static loading. With regard to fracture patterns, no differences were found between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic fatigue protocols provide clinically relevant information on the long-term stability and reliability of monolithic strength-gradient zirconia materials. However, no definitive instructions for dynamic testing can be provided from this investigation.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Although recent studies have reported the success of implant-supported monolithic restorations, consensus on the use of monolithic ceramic restorations is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the survival and biological and technical complication rates of monolithic single crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs). MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted by 2 independent authors on the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and Cochrane risk of bias tool were used to assess the quality and risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by using the R software program. RESULTS The search identified 763 articles, 18 of which met the eligibility criteria. A total of 15 studies evaluated monolithic ceramic single crowns, and 4 studies evaluated FPDs. The studies included 1061 monolithic single crowns (524 lithium disilicate, 461 zirconia, and 76 polymer-infiltrated ceramic network [PICN]) and 104 FPDs (36 lithium disilicate and 68 zirconia). Meta-analysis of single-arm studies indicated the proportion of survival, biological, and technical complication rates of 1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0% to 3%), 1% (CI: 0% to 4%), and 2% (CI: 1% to 4%), respectively, for single crowns, independent of ceramic material, and 3% (CI: 0% to 34%), 5% (CI: 1% to 21%), and 5% (CI: 1% to 21%) for FPDs, respectively. Only 5 studies performed a direct comparison between monolithic and veneered ceramic restorations, and no significant difference was observed in terms of survival (risk ratio [RR]: 0.68; CI: 0.25-1.91; P=.96), biological (RR: 0.69; CI: 0.31-1.53; P=.35), and technical complication rates (RR: 0.87; CI: 0.40-1.88; P=.29). CONCLUSIONS The use of monolithic ceramic can be considered a favorable treatment for tooth-supported single crowns and FPDs, with high survival and low complication rates. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to reassess these clinical performances, mainly by comparing them with the performance of veneered restorations.

Sasany R, Ergun-Kunt G, Yilmaz B. Effect of mouth rinses on optical properties of CAD-CAM materials used for laminate veneers and crowns. J ESTHET RESTOR DENT 2021; 33:648-653. [PMID: 33565723 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.12720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mouth rinses on the color and translucency of three computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative materials in laminate veneer and crown thicknesses. METHODS Specimens from two different 5Y-TZP zirconia (InCoris TZI (IT), and Zirkonzahn (ZH)) and lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD [IC]) in two different thicknesses (0.7 mm for laminate veneer, and 1.5 mm for crown) were sectioned. All specimens were colored with an A2-shade liquid, and the baseline color values were recorded according to the CIELab system with a spectrophotometer. Each group was divided into two subgroups (n = 15) according to the immersion solution: two different mouth rinses, KL (Klorhex), and LI (Listerine, cool mint) for 180 hours. The color coordinates (L*, a*, b*) of the specimens were measured before and after immersion in a mouth rinse, and TP and ΔE00 color differences were calculated by using the CIEDE2000 color difference formula. A 3-way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, and 1-sample t tests were used to analyze the data (α = 0.05). RESULTS The 3-way ANOVA revealed a significant interaction of material, thickness, and mouth rinse for translucency parameter and color difference (ΔE00 ) data (p < 0.001). TP decreased for both zirconia materials in laminate veneer thickness when immersed in LI mouth rinse (p < 0.05). No difference was found among the TP mean values of three materials in crown thickness after immersed in mouth rinses (p > 0.826). Both zirconia materials immersed in LI showed greater discoloration than after immersed in KL (p < 0.05). A significant difference was found in color change values among three materials for the laminate veneer thickness after immersed in LI (p < 0.001). However, all color difference values were within the clinical acceptability threshold, except for when ZH in laminate veneer thickness was immersed in LI. CONCLUSIONS The color change of ZH zirconia with LI mouth rinse in laminate veneer thickness was high. For both zirconia ceramics, translucency decreased and the color was less stable in laminate veneer thickness after immersed in LI compared to the crown thickness. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The results of this in vitro study suggest that long-term use of alcohol-containing mouth rinse may alter the optical properties of tested CAD-CAM materials in tested laminate veneer thickness. For color stability with the long term use of tested mouth rinses, lithium disilicate may be preferred for both types of restorations.

Long-term results of a randomized clinical trial of 2 types of ceramic crowns in participants with extensive tooth wear. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 127:248-257. [PMID: 33303191 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.08.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 08/16/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Evidence is sparse regarding the long-term outcomes of restorative treatment of patients with extensive tooth wear. PURPOSE The purpose of this long-term prospective randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the performance and success rate of pressed lithium disilicate (LD) and translucent zirconia (TZ) crowns in participants with extensive tooth wear. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 62 participants with extensive tooth wear (17 women, 45 men; mean age 44.8 years; range 25-63 years) received a total of 713 crowns, LD=362 and TZ=351. Both types of crowns had chamfer preparations and were adhesively luted with dual-polymerizing composite resin cement (PANAVIA F 2.0; Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc). The restorations were clinically reevaluated on average 14, 31, 39, 54, and 65 months after insertion of the crowns according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. RESULTS After an observation period of up to 6 years, the survival rate for both types of crowns was 99.7%, with 1 lost LD crown after 1 year as a result of loss of retention and 1 lost TZ crown after 3 years because of tooth fracture at the cemento-enamel junction. The success rates were similar for both types of crowns: 98.6% for LD and 99.1% for TZ. Reasons for failures were that 3 participants in each group developed apical lesions, minimal ceramic fractures, or their crowns were rebonded after loss of adhesion. Assessment of color at baseline was significantly different with a better match for LD (84.8% Alfa, 15.2% Bravo) than for TZ crowns (36.5% Alfa, 63.5% Bravo), including TZ crowns with veneered porcelain (P<.001). Secondary caries and cracks did not occur. A post hoc analysis of clinical performance did not indicate any significant differences between extensive tooth wear with primarily mechanical or chemical factors. CONCLUSIONS No differences were found between the 2 types of ceramic materials concerning the long-term success and clinical performance, except that TZ crowns were rated by a blinded clinician as less esthetic than LD crowns. The use of high-strength ceramic materials, as well as reliable adhesive bonding, are probably the key factors in the long-term success of ceramic crowns in participants with extensive tooth wear independent of the specific etiology.

Abstract
Objective: The aim was to compare the fracture strength of Molar endocrowns fabricated from different all-ceramic materials and various preparation designs. Materials and methods: Ninety extracted human molar teeth were root canal treated and randomly divided into three groups according to the all ceramic materials used for fabrication of the endocrowns ( n = 30): (1) Lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press); (2) Polymer infiltrated ceramic (Vita Enamic); (3) High translucency zirconia (Ceramill Zolid HT). Each group was subdivided into 3 subgroups ( n = 10) according to the preparation design as 2 mm occlusal reduction, 4.5 mm occlusal reduction, and 4.5 mm occlusal reduction with 2 mm radicular extension. The endocrowns from each material were fabricated and surface treated according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. After cementation with self-adhesive resin luting cement, the specimens were stored in a humid environment for 72 hours and subsequently subjected to 5000 thermal cycles. After, a compressive, static-axial load was applied using a universal testing machine until failure. Load-to-failure was recorded (N) and the specimens were examined under a stereomicroscope to determine the failure type. The data was statistically analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests at p < 0.05. Results: The Lithium Disilicate endocrowns recorded the higher mean fracture strength for 4.5 mm occlusal thickness and 2 mm radicular extension at 3770.28 N and 3877.40 correspondingly. The High translucency zirconia endocrowns at conventional 2 mm thickness showed the highest mean fracture load (3533.34 N). Even though polymer infiltrated ceramic endocrowns displayed comparatively lesser fracture load; they recorded the predominantly favorable fractures. Conclusions: Increased occlusal thickness showed a significant improvement in fracture strength of lithium disilicate and polymer infiltrated ceramic molar endocrowns. Although the 2 mm radicular extension had the substantial enhancement of fracture strength in high translucency zirconia, it resulted in more unfavorable failure types.

Abstract
This study investigated the mechanical properties, bond ability, and crystallographic forms of different sites in a highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia disk. Flexural properties, bond ability to resin cement, and phase composition were investigated at three sites of a highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia disk: incisal, middle, and cervical. Flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) were measured with static three-point flexural test. Shear bond strength (SB) to resin cement was measured after 24 h storage (37°C). Phase composition under mechanical stress was analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Without air abrasion, FS at the incisal site yielded the lowest value and was significantly lower than the middle and cervical sites. Air abrasion lowered the FS of each site. FM at the incisal site without air abrasion showed the significantly lowest value, and air abrasion increased its FM value. At the middle and cervical sites, their FM values were higher than the incisal site but were not significantly affected by air abrasion. SB value did not show significant differences among the sites. After sintering, cubic zirconia was detected at each site. Rhombohedral phase transformation occurred after mirror polishing. In highly translucent, multi-layered zirconia which was mainly composed of cubic zirconia, rhombohedral phase transformation occurred under mechanical stress and resulted in weakened mechanical properties.

Mechanical and microstructural properties of ultra-translucent dental zirconia ceramic stabilized with 5 mol% yttria. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2020; 111:103974.

Abstract
Monolithic dental prostheses fabricated from 3 mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YZ) are becoming increasingly popular. Recently, 5 mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (5YZ) which significantly improves the translucency of 3YZ has been prepared. However, its mechanical and microstructural properties, especially those affected by low-temperature degradation (LTD), have not been fully elucidated yet. The objective of the present study was to establish the relationship between the flexural strength of 5YZ with or without autoclave-induced LTD and its microstructural properties. For this purpose, a total of 320 bar-shaped specimens were cut from 5YZ and 3YZ blocks, and half of the specimens in each group were autoclaved at 134 °C for 50 h. Their flexural strengths were determined by conducting three-point bending tests, and the obtained results were analyzed by the Weibull statistical method. Grain sizes and crystalline structures of the specimens were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Additionally, the LTD-induced phase transformation was examined by Raman microscopy and cross-sectional surface analysis. The characteristic strengths of 5YZ and 3YZ were approximately 620 and 950 MPa, respectively, and 5YZ was found to be more resistant to LTD in terms of phase transformation than 3YZ. However, a low amount of the monoclinic phase was detected even in 5YZ after 50 h of autoclaving, which significantly decreased its flexural strength and reliability. The results of SEM analysis revealed that 5YZ was composed of two distinct regions: a dominant matrix with large grains (median size: 0.8 μm) and scattered areas with small grains (median size: 0.4 μm). Phase transformation analysis and fractography data indicated that the small-grain region was strongly affected by LTD and likely represented a fracture origin. The described properties should be considered during the clinical application of monolithic 5YZ dental prostheses.

Abstract
The study examined the effect of noninvasive crown retrieval/reuse process using an erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Er:YAG). Twenty-six extracted human teeth were prepared for a crown. The crown was milled using lithium disilicate (LD) and zirconia (Z) materials, n = 13 per group, with three for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crown was luted using composite resin cement and subjected to a laser retrieval process. After the retrieval process, the crown was cleaned, re-cemented and laser-retrieved two more times, without and with additional tooth reduction mimicking clinical refreshment of dentin. Retrieval time and temperature were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Surface changes were observed through SEM. The retrieval times were 267.1 ± 130.43, 220 ± 79.09, 277.1 ± 126.44, 368.4 ± 136.14, 355 ± 159.39, and 419.2 ± 121.36 s for first, second, third LD and Z groups, respectively (p = 0.009). The maximal temperatures were 23.95.1 ± 1.89 °C, 24.86 ± 2.01 °C, 24.17 ± 1.53 °C, 22.88 ± 1.51 °C, 24.03 ± 1.74 °C, and 21.99 ± 1.32 °C for first, second, third LD and Z groups, respectively (p = 0.006). Er:YAG laser crown removal is an effective retrieval tool for all-ceramic crowns. Minimal changes to teeth and crowns were observed following laser irradiation.

Abstract
Bite forces are studied in order to understand a wide range of factors pertaining to the mastication system. Various strain gauge transducers have been employed to measure bite forces, with several descriptions of these available in the literature; unfortunately, many reports provide insufficient detail to enable accurate reproduction. The aim of this project was to develop a bite force transducer with the capability of measuring maximum voluntary bite forces between individual opposing tooth surfaces. Furthermore, in an attempt to address the issue of vague device descriptions in the available literature, a detailed account of the transducer development has been included. A novel strain gauge transducer was designed and built. Bite forces of forty individuals were measured to verify the capabilities and clinical application of the device.

Abstract
Partially-stabilized zirconia is used in ceramic crowns due to its excellent mechanical properties and bio-inertness but does not match the natural color and translucency of tooth enamel. To reduce scattering of light and improve translucency, the grain size of zirconia ceramics should be less than the wavelength of visible light (0.4–0.7 μm), and porosity should be eliminated. The aim of the present work was to study the effect of two-step sintering of a commercial powder (Zpex Smile, Tosoh Corp., Tokyo, Japan) on the grain size and translucency of zirconia for use in ceramic crowns. Samples were sintered at a first step temperature (T1) of 1300, 1375 and 1400 °C for 5 min, followed by a decrease to the second step temperature (T2) and holding at T2 for 5–20 h. Samples were also conventionally sintered at 1450 °C for 2 h for comparison. Two-step sintered samples with an almost equal density, smaller grain size and narrower grain size distribution compared to conventionally sintered samples could be sintered. However, the translucency of two-step sintered samples had lower values compared to conventionally sintered samples. This is due to the slightly higher porosity in the two-step sintered samples. Density and translucency of both conventionally and two-step sintered samples could be increased further by using a ball milled powder.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of zirconia, stabilised with 5% yttria, luted to enamel and to evaluate the fracture pattern at loss of retention. Methods: A total of 53 test specimen were manufactured from two partially stabilised zirconia materials, Zirkonzahn Prettau Anterior (ZPA) (n = 16) and Whitepeaks CopraSmile Symphony 5 layer (WCS) (n = 18), and a lithium disilicate (Ivoclar e.Max Press) (n = 19) acting as control. All test specimens were cemented to human enamel with Variolink Esthetic DC and then subjected to a shear bond strength test. Fracture and surface analysis were performed using light and scanning electron microscope. Results: No significant differences in shear bond strength were detected when analysing the three groups. Dividing them according to the fracture pattern significant difference in shear bond strength between the two zirconia groups could be seen analysing test bodies with failure of adhesion to the test body, but not to enamel. The ZPA had higher shear bond strength (23.68 MPa) than WCS (13.00 MPa). No significant differences were seen compared to the control group (19.02 MPa). Conclusion: Partially stabilised zirconia shows potential as a material to be used where macro mechanical bonding is not possible, although this study does not reveal how or if the bonding deteriorates over time.

Aim This in vitro study was to compare the fracture resistance and cyclic fatigue resistance of hand-layered zirconia crowns and computer-aided design (CAD)-on crowns (lithium disilicate with zirconium oxide). Settings and Design Comparative -Invitro study design. Materials and Methods All ceramic crown preparation was done on a mandibular molar ivorine tooth, impression made, and duplicated. Twenty hand-layered zirconia crowns and twenty CAD-on crowns were fabricated using CAD/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique. All crowns were cemented to their respective dies using resin cement for evaluating fracture resistance and cyclic fatigue resistance using universal testing machine. Statistical Analysis Used Independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Shapiro-Wilk test were used. Results The mean fracture resistance of CAD-on crowns (2660.50 ± 501.303 N) was significantly more than that of hand-layered zirconia crowns (1963.60 ± 452.895 N) (independent samples t-test, P < 0.023). Cyclic fatigue resistance test results showed that the mean number of cycles before failure for hand-layered zirconia crowns was 175,297 and for CAD-on crowns was 212,097 (Mann-Whitney U-test, P < 0.012). Conclusion CAD-on crowns were found to have significantly higher fracture resistance and cyclic fatigue resistance properties than hand-layered zirconia crowns.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance and modes of fracture of monolithic zirconia crowns with two preparation designs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty human maxillary first premolar teeth were extracted for orthodontic purposes and divided into two main groups (n=20): Group A: monolithic traditional zirconia; Group B: monolithic translucent zirconia. The groups were further subdivided into two subgroups (n=10): (A1, B1) shoulder margin design; (A2, B2) feather-edge margin design. Teeth were prepared with either a 1 mm shoulder margin design or a feather-edge margin design. The prepared teeth were scanned using a digital intraoral scanner. The crowns were cemented using self-adhesive resin cement. All cemented teeth were stored in water for 7 days and thermocycling was done before testing. All samples were subjected to compressive axial loading until fracture. The fractographic analysis was done to assess the modes of fracture of the tested samples. RESULTS The highest mean values of fracture resistance were recorded in kilo-newton and were in the order of subgroup A1 (2.903); subgroup A2 (2.3); subgroup B1 (1.854) and subgroup B2 (1.523). One-way ANOVA showed a statistically significant difference among the 4 subgroups. Concerning modes of fracture, the majority of samples in subgroups A1 and B1 were fracture of restoration and/or tooth, while in subgroups A2 and B2, the majority of samples fractured through the central fossa. CONCLUSION Even though all the tested crowns fractured at a higher level than the maximum occlusal forces, the shoulder margin design was better than the feather-edge margin design and the monolithic traditional zirconia was better than the monolithic translucent zirconia in terms of fracture strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the present study was to evaluate fracture loads of screw-retained implant-supported zirconia prostheses after artificial aging. METHODS Four types of screw-retained implant-supported prostheses were fabricated (n=11 each); porcelain-veneered zirconia prosthesis (PVZ), indirect composite-veneered zirconia prosthesis (IVZ), porcelain-fused-to-metal prosthesis (PFM), and monolithic zirconia prosthesis (ML). The specimens were subjected to 10,000 thermocycles and cyclic loading for 1.2 million cycles. Fracture loads were measured, and the data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Steel-Dwass tests (α=0.05). RESULTS All specimens survived the artificial aging procedures. The fracture loads for the PVZ (1.52kN), IVZ (1.62kN), and PFM groups (1.53kN) did not significantly differ; however, the fracture load for the ML group (6.61kN) was significantly higher than those for the other groups. The fracture load for the IVZ group was comparable to those for the PVZ and PFM groups. CONCLUSIONS The monolithic zirconia prostheses exhibited significantly higher fracture loads than the bilayered prostheses. All the investigated types of screw-retained implant-supported zirconia prostheses appear sufficient to resist posterior masticatory forces during long-term clinical use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of surface treatments conducted in presintering and postsintering stages on flexural strength and optical properties of zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens were milled from partially sintered zirconia blocks in different geometries and divided into three main groups as presintered, postsintered, and control groups. Test groups were further divided into three subgroups (n = 10) according to the surface treatments conducted (grinding, Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation, air-borne particle abrasion [APA]). Four-point flexural strength (σ) test and Weibull analysis were conducted. Color differences (ΔE00 ) and translucency parameter (TPab ) were calculated with a spectrophotometer. Surfaces of specimens were scrutinized under FESEM. Data were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Postsintered groups exhibited higher σ values (P < .05). Within all groups, highest and lowest σ values were detected at postsintered and presintered APA groups, respectively (P < .05). All ΔE00 values were above the perceptibility threshold (ΔE00 > 0.8). Higher TPab values were obtained and deeper scratches were observed in presintered groups. CONCLUSIONS Surface treatments performed at postsintering stage had a favorable effect on the flexural strength of all specimens. Surface treatments performed before sintering increased translucency and caused higher ΔE00 values. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Surface treatments performed at different sintering stages can alter mechanical and optical properties of zirconia.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Different surface finishing procedures can be applied to monolithic restorations. However, information is limited regarding the long-term performance of these procedures. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of aging on the translucency and color stability of monolithic ceramics with different surface finishing procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Disk-shaped (14×1.5 mm) specimens of monolithic zirconia (Zirkonzahn Prettau [ZZ]) and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max Press [IPS]) were fabricated. The specimens were divided into 3 subgroups according to the surface treatments (n=9, G: glazing, R: rubber polishing system, and P: rubber polishing system followed by polishing paste). Color measurements were made by using a spectrophotometer before and after an ultraviolet aging process. L*, a*, and b* parameters were recorded. ΔE and translucency parameter (TP) values were calculated. One specimen from each subgroup was examined by scanning electron microscopy (×30 000). The data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and post hoc tests (α=.05). RESULTS ΔE values of group ZZ (5.03) exceeded the clinically acceptable level (3.5); however, the color change was not clinically perceptible for IPS (0.41). The ΔE value of the subgroup P was found to be higher than that of the others for ZZ (P<.001). The ΔE value was not affected by the surface treatment for IPS. Group IPS showed significantly higher translucency than the ZZ group (P<.001). TP values were not affected by the surface treatment in either material and decreased after aging. However, changes in the TP values were too slight to be clinically perceptible. CONCLUSIONS Lithium disilicate ceramic was found to be more esthetic than monolithic zirconia ceramic in terms of color stability and translucency.

Abstract
New zirconia compositions with optimized esthetic properties have emerged due to the fast-growing technology in zirconia manufacturing. However, the large variety of commercial products and synthesis routes, make impossible to include all of them under the general term of “monolithic zirconia ceramics”. Ultra- or high translucent monolithic formulations contain 3–8 mol% yttria, which results in materials with completely different structure, optical and mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to provide an update to the current knowledge concerning monolithic zirconia and to review factors related to strength and aging resistance. Factors such as composition, coloring procedures, sintering method and temperature, may affect both strength and aging resistance to a more or less extend. A significant reduction of mechanical properties has been correlated to high translucent zirconia formualtions while regarding aging resistance, the findings are contradictory, necessitating more and thorough investigation. Despite the obvious advantages of contemporary monolithic zirconia ceramics, further scientific evidence is required that will eventually lead to the appropriate laboratory and clinical guidelines for their use. Until then, a safe suggestion should be to utilize high-strength partially-stabilized zirconia for posterior or long span restorations and fully-stabilized ultra-translucent zirconia for anterior single crowns and short span fixed partial dentures.
