Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the fracture resistance and short-term restorative effects of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) made from heat-pressed lithium-disilicate-based glass-ceramic (IPS e.max press) and zirconia ceramic (WIELAND) and retained by all-ceramic guiding plates when used to restore missing mandibular second premolars. METHODS A total of 64 human mandibular first premolars and first molars were prepared as abutments, then were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): E0, heat-pressed ceramic RBFPDs, no cyclic loading; E1, heat-pressed ceramic RBFPDs exposed to 300 000 cycles of dynamic loading; W0, zirconia ceramic RBFPDs, no cyclic loading; and W1, zirconia ceramic RBFPDs exposed to 300 000 cycles of dynamic loading. Fracture strength was tested in a universal testing machine. RESULTS The medians of fracture strength were 1 242.85 N±260.11 N (E0), 1 650.85 N±206.77 N (W0), 1 062.60 N±179.98 N (E1), and 1 167.61 N±265.50 N (W1). Statistical analysis showed that all the groups exhibited significantly higher fracture strength compared with the maximum bite force in the premolar region (360 N; P<0.001). The W0 group had significantly higher fracture strength than the E0 group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, no significant difference in fracture strength was observed between the E1 and W1 groups (P>0.05). Significant statistical differences were found between the zirconia ceramic groups (W0 and W1, P<0.05) but not between the glassceramic groups (E0 and E1, P>0.05) after dynamic loading. CONCLUSIONS The RBFPDs retained by all-ceramic guiding plates exhibited promising fracture properties and optimal short-term restorative effects when used to restore missing mandibular second premolars.

Acta Biomater 2019; 91:24-34. [PMID: 31034947 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.04.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 89] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2019] [Revised: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
High strength and translucency are generally not coincident in one restorative material and there is still a continuous development for a better balance between these two properties. Zirconia and lithium-disilicate glass-ceramics are currently the most popular alternatives for monolithic restorations. In this work, the mechanical properties and more important, the slow crack growth (SCG) resistance, which rules long-term durability, were thoroughly studied for three zirconia ceramics stabilized by 3, 4 and 5 mol% yttria in comparison to lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic. Translucency versus strength maps revealed that the more translucent zirconia compositions (i.e. with higher yttria contents) fill the gap between the standard 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) and lithium-disilicate. Moreover, increasing yttria content did not always result in lower strength, as values for 3 mol% and 4 mol% yttria were the same. Independent on the yttria contents, all zirconia showed similar relative susceptibility to SCG under static and cyclic conditions and were significantly more SCG-resistant than lithium-disilicate glass ceramic. A concern with higher yttria contents (5 and 4 mol%) however could lie in the higher sensitivity to defects, resulting in a larger scatter in strength. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In addition to the common investigations on the generally reported strength, toughness and translucency, V-KI diagrams (crack velocity versus stress-intensity factor) from fast fracture to threshold for three newly developed zirconia were directly measured by double torsion methods under static and cyclic loading conditions. The crack-growth mechanisms were analyzed in depth. Results were compared with another popular dental ceramic, namely lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic, revealing the pros and cons of polycrystalline and glass-ceramics in terms of long-term durability. This is the first time that V-KI curves are compared for the major ceramic and glass-ceramic used for dental restorations. Strength versus translucency maps for different CAD/CAM dental restorative materials were described, showing the current indication range for zirconia ceramics.

Abstract
The increasing prescription of metal-free dental restorations has come about as a result of various patient demands and somewhat narcissistic expectations. However, some dental professionals have contributed to the rise in popularity of these materials and techniques. This article highlights the potential pitfalls of undertaking inherently destructive procedures, particularly when performed for questionable "cosmetic" reasons.

Newer vs. older CAD/CAM burs: Influence of bur experience on the fatigue behavior of adhesively cemented simplified lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic restorations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2019; 95:172-179. [PMID: 31009901 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2019.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/05/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of the CAD/CAM burs experience (newer vs older as consequence of the milling sequence) on fatigue failure load (FFL), number of cycles for failure (CFF), and survival rates of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic simplified restorations adhesively cemented to a dentin analogue substrate. Three sets of CAD/CAM burs were used to mill disc-shaped ceramic specimens (1 bur set - 18 milled discs with 10 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thickness), considering the bur experience as a result of the milling sequence to compose the study groups: G1-6 - discs obtained from the 1st to 6th milling of each bur set; G7-12 - specimens from the 7th to 12th milling; G13-18 - discs from the 13th to 18th. Discs of dentin analogue (G10, 10 mm diameter and 2.0 mm thickness) were made to serve as substrate (base material) and randomly assigned into pairs with the respective ceramic discs. Then, the ceramic discs were adhesively cemented onto the dentin analogue substrate, composing a three-layer specimen that mimics a monolithic restoration of a posterior tooth. Specimens were tested under stepwise fatigue approach: frequency = 20 Hz, 5000 cycles at maximum load of 400 N to accommodate the testing assembly, followed by incremental steps of 200 N with initial load ranging from 10 to 1000 N, to a maximum of 20,000 cycles/each step, until the occurrence of failure (radial crack). FFL and CFF were recorded at the end of the testing and subjected to statistical analysis. Supplementary roughness analysis of the milled surface was performed (n = 18) using a contact profilometer. Residual stress after milling and acid etching were accessed via X-ray Diffractometry analysis. FFL and CFF were not affected by increase on bur experience (no statistical differences among groups), despite that, it affected both Ra and Rz parameters (G1-6 had the smoothest surface). The residual stress concentration was negligible (milling did not induce residual stress concentration). It is concluded that the fatigue behavior of adhesively cemented lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic restorations was not influenced by CAD/CAM bur experience (newer vs older as consequence of the milling sequence), and so the residual stress concentration induced by milling was negligible.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Long-term clinical data on the survival of pressed lithium disilicate glass-ceramic restorations and the effect that different technical and clinical variables have on survival are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to examine the 10-year survival of pressed lithium disilicate glass-ceramic restorations and the relationship between clinical parameters on outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five hundred and fifty-six patients, ranging in age from 17 to 97 years, from a private clinical practice were enrolled. All participants required single-tooth replacement or repair in any area of the mouth, including single crowns, 3-unit fixed partial dentures, cantilevered anterior restorations, and foundation restorations. Together, the longevity of 1960 complete-coverage restorations was studied. Participants were offered the options of gold, conventional metal-ceramic, or lithium disilicate restoration. Participants who chose glass-ceramic restorations were included in the study. The overall survival of the glass-ceramic restorations was assessed by using clinical factors determined at recall, and the effect of various clinical parameters was evaluated by using Kaplan-Meier survival curves to account for attrition bias and other reasons for failure. The statistical significance of differences between parameters was determined using the log-rank test (α=.05). RESULTS A total of 556 patients electing lithium disilicate restorations were evaluated. The mean age of patients at the time of restoration placement was 62 years, with a range of 17 to 97 years. Men comprised 39.5% of the patients, and women, 60.5%. Many patients required more than one restoration. Seven failures (bulk fracture or large chip requiring replacement) were recorded for the 1960 complete-coverage lithium disilicate restorations, with the average time of failure being 4.2 years. The total time at risk computed for the units was 5113 years, providing an estimated failure risk of 0.14% per year. The 10-year estimated cumulative survival was 99.6% (95% confidence : 99.4-99.8).The estimated cumulative survival rate of 1410 monolithic and 550 bilayered e.max complete-coverage restorations was 96.5% and 100%, respectively, at 10.4 and 7.9 years (P<.05). Seven failures were recorded for the monolithic complete-coverage restoration units placed. The total time at risk for these monolithic units was 3380 years, providing an estimated risk of 0.2% per year. Failures were primarily in molar teeth (5 of 7) and occurred in both arches (3/2). No failures were recorded for the bilayered complete-coverage restorations. The total time at risk computed for the bilayered units was 1733 years, providing an estimated risk of 0% per year. CONCLUSIONS Pressed lithium disilicate restorations in this study survived successfully over the 10.4-year period studied with an overall failure rate below 0.2% per year and were primarily confined to molar teeth. The risk of failure at any age was minimal for both men and women.

Abstract
This review highlights ceramic material options and their use. The newer high-strength ceramics in monolithic form have gained popularity despite the lack of long-term clinical data to support this paradigm shift. Although there are some encouraging clinical data available, there is a need to develop laboratory simulation models that can help predict long-term clinical performance for ceramic and adhesive cements.

Abstract
An investigation is made of wear mechanisms in a suite of dental materials with a ceramic component and tooth enamel using a laboratory test that simulates clinically observable wear facets. A ball-on-3-specimen wear tester in a tetrahedral configuration with a rotating hard antagonist zirconia sphere is used to produce circular wear scars on polished surfaces of dental materials in artificial saliva. Images of the wear scars enable interpretation of wear mechanisms, and measurements of scar dimensions quantify wear rates. Rates are lowest for zirconia ceramics, highest for lithium disilicate, with feldspathic ceramic and ceramic-polymer composite intermediate. Examination of wear scars reveals surface debris, indicative of a mechanism of material removal at the microstructural level. Microplasticity and microcracking models account for mild and severe wear regions. Wear models are used to evaluate potential longevity for each dental material. It is demonstrated that controlled laboratory testing can identify and quantify wear susceptibility under conditions that reflect the essence of basic occlusal contact. In addition to causing severe material loss, wear damage can lead to premature tooth or prosthetic failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present review was to compare the outcomes, that is, survival and complication rates of zirconia-ceramic and/or monolithic zirconia implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with metal-ceramic FDPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic MEDLINE search complemented by manual searching was conducted to identify randomized controlled clinical trials, prospective cohort studies and retrospective case series on implant-supported FDPs with a mean follow-up of at least 3 years. Patients had to have been examined clinically at the follow-up visit. Assessment of the identified studies and data extraction was performed independently by two reviewers. Failure and complication rates were analyzed using robust Poisson regression models to obtain summary estimates of 5-year proportions. RESULTS The search provided 5,263 titles and 455 abstracts. Full-text analysis was performed for 240 articles resulting in 19 studies on implant FDPs that met the inclusion criteria. The studies reported on 932 metal-ceramic and 175 zirconia-ceramic FDPs. Meta-analysis revealed an estimated 5-year survival rate of 98.7% (95% CI: 96.8%-99.5%) for metal-ceramic implant-supported FDPs, and of 93.0% (95% CI: 90.6%-94.8%) for zirconia-ceramic implant-supported FDPs (p < 0.001). Thirteen studies including 781 metal-ceramic implant-supported FDPs estimated a 5-year rate of ceramic fractures and chippings to be 11.6% compared with a significantly higher (p < 0.001) complication rate for zirconia implant-supported FDPs of 50%, reported in a small study with 13 zirconia implant-supported FDPs. Significantly (p = 0.001) more, that is, 4.1%, of the zirconia-ceramic implant-supported FDPs were lost due to ceramic fractures compared to only 0.2% of the metal-ceramic implant-supported FDPs. Detailed analysis of factors like number of units of the FDPs or location in the jaws was not possible due to heterogeneity of reporting. No studies on monolithic zirconia implant-supported FDPs fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the present review. Furthermore, no conclusive results were found for the aesthetic outcomes of both FDP-types. CONCLUSION For implant-supported FDPs, conventionally veneered zirconia should not be considered as material selection of first priority, as pronounced risk for framework fractures and chipping of the zirconia veneering ceramic was observed. Monolithic zirconia may be an interesting alternative, but its clinical medium- to long-term outcomes have not been evaluated yet. Hence, metal ceramics seems to stay the golden standard for implant-supported multiple-unit FDPs.

Marginal quality of ceramic inlays after three different instrumental cavity preparation methods of the proximal boxes. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 23:793-803.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The marginal quality of ceramic inlays was evaluated after the use of three different instrumental finishing methods in mesio-occluso-distal (mod) cavity boxes in vitro after hydrothermal loading (HTL).
Materials and methods
Caries-free human molars were divided into three groups. Mod-cavities were conventionally prepared. Box finishing was performed in every group with rotating (RI), sonic (SI), or ultrasonic (USI) instruments. Surface roughness was examined. Twelve mod-cavities remained untreated. Continuous margin quality was evaluated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ceramic inlays were cemented into cavities. After HTL microleakage, marginal and absolute marginal gaps were examined. All data were analyzed statistically.
Results
Significant differences were found, between cavity surface roughness of RI and SI groups, the RI and USI groups, but not between microleakage, marginal, absolute marginal gaps after HTL and in proximal marginal quality. No correlations between microleakage and marginal gaps nor between microleakage and surface roughness were found.
Conclusion
Mod-cavity proximal box finishing with SI or USI resulted in a higher surface roughness than the use of RI. The type of the finishing method did not influence the marginal quality of ceramic inlays. For the mod-cavity finishing, the use of SI and USI could be an alternative instrumental method to conventional RI methods with a lower risk of iatrogenic damage of the adjacent teeth.
Clinical relevance
This study allows the practitioner to better determine the proper indications and limitations of the sonic and ultrasonic instruments for mod-cavity proximal box finishing.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Infiltrated zirconia has promising mechanical properties. However, information about its optical behavior is scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color and translucency of zirconia submitted to infiltration and aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty zirconia disks were machined. Ten disks received no treatment (NT group), 10 disks were immersed in a coloring liquid (A2 group), and 10 disks were immersed in a fluorescent liquid (F group). The other 30 disks were submitted to the same treatments plus glass infiltration (NT+I, A2+I, and F+I groups). The coordinates L*, a*, and b* and the Y tristimulus values were obtained to calculate the color (ΔE00), lightness, chroma, and hue differences; the translucency parameter (TP); and the contrast ratio (CR) associated with the specimens. After aging in an autoclave for 4 hours (T1), new measurements were made. Two- and 3-way ANOVAs were used to analyze color differences, TP, and CR. The lightness, chroma, and hue differences were evaluated by a repeated measures ANOVA. Multiple comparisons were made with the Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α=.05). RESULTS The greatest color differences were observed in the A2+I group (11.23 ΔE00) (P<.001). Aging affected the chroma of the colored groups (P=.013 and P=.001) but did not affect their translucency (P=.347 for TP and P=.132 for CR). The greatest TP values were found in the NT and NT+I groups (2.54 and 2.34, respectively), whereas the CR was equal to or close to 1 in all groups. CONCLUSIONS Color differences were observed in the glass-infiltrated groups. The TP and CR were affected by infiltration. Aging did not influence the optical behavior of the specimens.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The long-term color stability of precolored monolithic zirconia has not been thoroughly investigated. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal aging on the optical properties, phase transformation, and surface topography of precolored monolithic zirconia ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Precolored monolithic zirconia specimens (17.0×17.0×1.5 mm, n=50) and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic specimens (16.0×16.0×1.5 mm, n=50) were artificially aged in an autoclave at 134°C under 0.2 MPa for 0, 1, 3, 5, or 10 hours (n=10). CIELab color parameters were obtained from spectral measurements. The translucency parameter (TP) and CIEDE2000 color differences (ΔE00) were calculated. The microstructural and surface properties were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA and pairwise comparison (α=.05). RESULTS Significant interactions were found between aging time and ceramic material on L*, a*, b*, and TP (P<.001) as follows: b* partial eta squared [ηp2]=0.689; L* ηp2=0.186; a* ηp2=0.176; and TP ηp2=0.137. The b* values significantly decreased after aging for zirconia (P<.001), whereas TP increased after aging for zirconia (P<.014) except at 10 hours (P=.389) and for lithium disilicate (P<.001). The ΔE00 values relative to baseline ranged from 2.03 to 2.52 for aged zirconia and from 0.07 to 0.23 for aged lithium disilicate. XRD analysis revealed that hydrothermal aging promoted an increase in m-phase contents. AFM and SEM demonstrated surface alterations after aging. CONCLUSIONS Optical properties and microstructures of precolored monolithic zirconia ceramics were affected by hydrothermal aging, and translucency increased slightly with aging time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To survey simple contact testing protocols for evaluating the mechanical integrity of zirconia dental ceramics. Specifically, to map vital material property variations and to quantify competing damage modes. METHODS Exploratory contact tests are conducted on layer structures representative of zirconia crowns on dentin. RESULTS Sharp-tip micro- and nano-indentations were used to investigate the roles of weak interfaces and residual stresses in veneered zirconia, and to map property variations in graded structures. Tests with blunt sphere indenters on flat specimens were used to identify and quantify various critical damage modes in simulated occlusal loading in veneered and monolithic zirconia. SIGNIFICANCE Contact testing is a powerful tool for elucidating the fracture and deformation modes that control the lifetimes of zirconia dental ceramics. The advocated tests are simple, and provide a sound physical basis for analyzing damage resistance of anatomically-correct crowns and other complex dental prostheses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of monolithic lithium disilicate (LiDi - IPS e.max CAD) and novel ultra-translucent zirconia restorative systems of various compositions: 5Y-PSZ (5 mol% yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia) and 4Y-PSZ (4 mol% yttria-partially-stabilized zirconia); relative to a 3Y-TZP (3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia) control. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiments were carried out with 10 disc specimens (Ø12 ×1 mm) per ceramic material. The zirconia intaglio surface (as machined) was sandblasted (50 µm Al2O3 at 2 bar), while LiDi was etched with 5% HF for 20 s. The ceramic discs were then adhesively bonded onto a dentin-like substrate (G10, a high-pressure fiberglass material) using Multilink Automix cement and Monobond Plus primer, producing a ceramic/cement/dentin-like substrate trilayer structure. The bonded specimens were stored in water for 3 days at 37 °C prior to a Hertzian indentation flexural radial fracture test. The plate-on-foundation theory was used to validate the load-bearing capacity of the trilayer systems based on the flexural tensile stress at the ceramic intaglio (cementation) surface-a cause for bulk fracture of ceramic onlays. RESULTS The experiment data showed that, when bonded to and supported by a dentin-like substrate, the load-bearing capacity of LiDi (872 N) is superior to the 5Y-PSZ (715 N) and can even reach that of 4Y-PSZ (864 N), while 3Y-TZP still holds the highest load-bearing capacity (1195 N). Theoretical analyses agree with experimental observations. The translucency of 5Y-PSZ approaches that of LiDi, which are superior to both 4Y-PSZ and 3Y-TZP. CONCLUSIONS When adhesively bonded to and supported by dentin, lithium disilicate exhibits similar load-bearing properties to 4Y-PSZ but much better than 5Y-PSZ.

Abstract
Dental composite and ceramic restorative materials are designed to closely mimic the aesthetics and function of natural tooth tissue, and their longevity in the oral environment depends to a large degree on their fatigue and wear properties. The purpose of this review is to highlight some recent advances in our understanding of fatigue and wear mechanisms, and how they contribute to restoration failures in the complex oral environment. Overall, fatigue and wear processes are found to be closely related, with wear of dental ceramic occlusal surfaces providing initiation sites for fatigue failures, and subsurface fatigue crack propagation driving key wear mechanisms for composites, ceramics, and enamel. Furthermore, both fatigue and wear of composite restorations may be important in enabling secondary caries formation, which is the leading cause of composite restoration failures. Overall, developing a mechanistic description of fatigue, wear, and secondary caries formation, along with understanding the interconnectivity of all three processes, are together seen as essential keys to successfully using in vitro studies to predict in vivo outcomes and develop improved dental restorative materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To process novel leucite glass-ceramics and test the effects of surface treatment and resin bonding on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and shear bond strength (SBS). METHODS Alumino-silicate glasses were ball-milled, and heat treated to form leucite glass-ceramics (LG-C, OLG-C), then sintered into ingots. Ingots were heat extruded into a refractory mould to form disc specimens (1.3×14mm diameter). IPS e.max® was used as a commercial comparison. Glass-ceramic test groups were sandblasted (Groups. 1, 4, 6), sandblasted, etched and adhesively bonded (Groups. 2, 5, 7) or lapped, etched and adhesively bonded (Groups. 3, 8). Specimens were adhesively bonded with Monobond S, followed by the application of Variolink II® cement and light curing. BFS testing was at 1mm/min and SBS testing at 0.5mm/min. Samples were characterised using XRD, SEM and profilometry. RESULTS XRD confirmed tetragonal leucite in LG-C/OLG-C and lithium disilicate/lithium orthophosphate in IPS e.max®. Mean BFS (MPa (SD)) were: Gp1 LG-C; 193.1 (13.9), Gp2 LG-C; 217.7 (23.0), Gp3 LG-C; 273.6 (26.7), Gp4 OLG-C; 255.9 (31); Gp5 OLG-C; 288.6 (37.4), Gp6 IPS e.max®; 258.6 (20.7), Gp7 IPS e.max®; 322.3 (23.4) and Gp8 IPS e.max®; 416.4 (52.6). The Median SBS (MPa) were Gp1 LG-C; 14.2, Gp2 LG-C (10s etch); 10.6 and Gp3 IPS e.max®; 10.8. Mean surface roughness was 5-5.1μm (IPS e.max®) and 2.6μm (LG-C). SIGNIFICANCE Novel leucite glass-ceramics with reduced flaw size and fine microstructures produced enhanced BFS and SBS by resin bonding. These properties may be useful for the fabrication of minimally invasive aesthetic and fracture resistant restorations.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM It is unclear whether an extended glaze firing could improve the long-term mechanical performance of densely sintered CAD-CAM ceramics. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to analyze the effect of an extended glaze firing on the flexural fatigue strength (FFS) of densely sintered milled (hard-machined) leucite-based (LEU) and lithium disilicate-based (DIS) ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Disks were machined from ceramic blocks and divided into 6 groups (n=20) according to the material, LEU or DIS, and to the applied glaze firing: manufacturer-recommended glaze (G group), extended glaze (EG group), and control/no firing (C group). The surface roughness of the disks was measured before and after firing by using a contact profilometer, and data were compared by paired sample tests. Specimens were submitted to fatigue by using the staircase test design in water (piston-on-3 balls; 500 000 cycles, 20 Hz, and sinusoidal loading). Mean (±SD) FFS values were then calculated and analyzed by using 1-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test (α=.05). RESULTS Surface roughness did not change after the firing (P>.05). The highest FFS value in both ceramics was obtained after EG firing (LEU-EG=80.52 ±6.3 MPa; DIS-EG=147.25 ±10.5 MPa), which was statistically superior to G firing (LEU-G=73 ±6.8 MPa, P=.003; DIS-G=134.34 ±15.6 MPa; P=.023) and C group (LEU-C=61.94 ±6.3 MPa; P<.001; DIS-C=134.13 ±17.3 MPa; P=.023). CONCLUSIONS EG firing optimized the biaxial flexural fatigue strength of hard-machined leucite and lithium disilicate ceramics compared with conventional glaze firing.

Abstract
This study characterized the mechanical properties (static and under fatigue), the crystalline microstructure (monoclinic - m, tetragonal - t and cubic - c phase contents) and the surface topography of three yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) materials with different translucent properties, before and after aging in an autoclave (low temperature degradation). Disc-shaped specimens were produced from second generation (Katana ML/HT - high-translucent) and third generations (Katana STML - super-translucent and UTML - ultra-translucent) YSZ ceramics (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.), following ISO 6872-2015 guidelines for biaxial flexural strength testing (final dimensions: 15 mm in diameter and 1.2 ± 0.2 mm in thickness), and then subjected to the respective tests and analyses. ML was mainly composed of tetragonal crystals, while STML and UTML presented cubic content. Aging increased the monoclinic content for ML and did not affect STML and UTML. Topographical analysis highlights different grain sizes on the ceramic surface (UTML > STML > ML) and aging had no effect on this outcome. Weibull analysis showed the highest characteristic strength for ML both before and after aging, and statistically similar Weibull moduli for all groups. ML material also obtained the highest survival rates (ML > STML > UTML) for both fatigue strength and number of cycles to failure. All fractures originated from surface defects on the tensile side. Third generation zirconia (Katana STML and UTML) are fully stabilized materials (with tetragonal and cubic crystals), being totally inert to the autoclave aging, and presented lower mechanical properties than the second-generation zirconia (Katana ML - metastable zirconia).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate debonding of full crowns made of CAD/CAM composites, CAD/CAM technology was applied to manufacture standardized test abutments to increase the reproducibility of human teeth used in in vitro studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A virtual test abutment and the corresponding virtual crown were designed and two STL data sets were generated. Sixty-four human third molars and CAD/CAM blocks were milled using a CNC machine. Crowns of four different composite blocks (Lava Ultimate (LU), Brilliant Crios (BC), Cerasmart (CS), Experimental (EX)) were adhesively bonded with their corresponding luting system (LU: Scotchbond Universal/RelyX Ultimate; BC: One Coat 7 Universal/DuoCem; CS: G-PremioBond/G-Cem LinkForce; EX: Experimental-Bond/Experimental-Luting-Cement). Half of the specimens were chemical-cured (CC) and the others were light-cured (LC). Afterwards, specimens were artificially aged in a chewing simulator (WL-tec, 1 million cycles, 50-500 N, 2 Hz, 37 °C). Finally, a dye penetration test was used to detect debonding. For inspection, the specimens were sliced, and penetration depth was measured with a digital microscope. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS No cases of total debonding were observed after cyclic loading. However, the LC specimens showed a significantly lower amount of leakage than the CC ones (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the CC specimens exhibited broad scattering. Only the LC-EX blocks showed no debonding. The CC-CS blocks showed the highest leakage and scattering of all tested specimens. CONCLUSIONS Natural human teeth can be manufactured by CAD/CAM technology in highly standardized test abutments for in vitro testing. For CAD/CAM composites, light curing should be performed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The success of a restoration depends on the long-term sealing ability of the luting materials, which avoids debonding along with microleakage. For CAD/CAM composites, separate light curing of the adhesive and luting composite is highly recommended.

[PMID: 29653725 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2018.03.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2017] [Revised: 11/13/2017] [Accepted: 03/23/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to estimate the fatigue life of premolars restored with two dental ceramics, lithium disilicate (LD) and polymer infiltrated ceramic (PIC) using the numerical method and compare it with the published in vitro data. METHODS A premolar restored with full-coverage crown was digitized. The volumetric shape of tooth tissues and crowns were created in Mimics®. They were transferred to IA-FEMesh for mesh generation and the model was analyzed with Abaqus. By combining the stress distribution results with fatigue stress-life (S-N) approach, the lifetime of restored premolars was predicted. RESULTS The predicted lifetime was 1,231,318 cycles for LD with fatigue load of 1400N, while the one for PIC was 475,063 cycles with the load of 870N. The peak value of maximum principal stress occurred at the contact area (LD: 172MPa and PIC: 96MPa) and central fossa (LD: 100MPa and PIC: 64MPa) for both ceramics which were the most seen failure areas in the experiment. In the adhesive layer, the maximum shear stress was observed at the shoulder area (LD: 53.6MPa and PIC: 29MPa). SIGNIFICANCE The fatigue life and failure modes of all-ceramic crown determined by the numerical method seem to correlate well with the previous experimental study.

Abstract
The main problem of porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) dental restorations is chipping and delamination of veneering porcelain owing to the development of deleterious residual stresses during the cooling phase of veneer firing. The aim of this study is to elucidate the effects of cooling rate, thermal contraction coefficient and elastic modulus on residual stresses developed in PVZ dental crowns using viscoelastic finite element methods (VFEM). A three-dimensional VFEM model has been developed to predict residual stresses in PVZ structures using ABAQUS finite element software and user subroutines. First, the newly established model was validated with experimentally measured residual stress profiles using Vickers indentation on flat PVZ specimens. An excellent agreement between the model prediction and experimental data was found. Then, the model was used to predict residual stresses in more complex anatomically-correct crown systems. Two PVZ crown systems with different thermal contraction coefficients and porcelain moduli were studied: VM9/Y-TZP and LAVA/Y-TZP. A sequential dual-step finite element analysis was performed: heat transfer analysis and viscoelastic stress analysis. Controlled and bench convection cooling rates were simulated by applying different convective heat transfer coefficients 1.7E-5 W/mm2 °C (controlled cooling) and 0.6E-4 W/mm2 °C (bench cooling) on the crown surfaces exposed to the air. Rigorous viscoelastic finite element analysis revealed that controlled cooling results in lower maximum stresses in both veneer and core layers for the two PVZ systems relative to bench cooling. Better compatibility of thermal contraction coefficients between porcelain and zirconia and a lower porcelain modulus reduce residual stresses in both layers.

Abstract
The aim of this study was compare the effect of two in vitro ageing protocols to intraoral aging on the flexural strength of a lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic bars with clamped ends. After polishing and crystallization, the both ends of the bars were cemented to a metallic device and subjected to mechanical cycling, thermomechanical cycling, or intraoral ageing. Ten volunteers used an intraoral device - similar to an occlusal splint with a balanced contact condition on the occlusal surface of the ceramic bar - during 8 h night time / 30 days. Both in vitro and intraoral ageing decreased the flexural residual strength of LD, with the lowest values obtained after intraoral ageing. Thus, the in vitro ageing protocols tested in this study revealed to be less deleterious than intraoral ageing of LD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture resistance under chewing simulation of implant-supported posterior restorations (crowns cemented to hybrid-abutments) made of different all-ceramic materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Monolithic zirconia (MZr) and monolithic lithium disilicate (MLD) crowns for mandibular first molar were fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology and then cemented to zirconia hybrid-abutments (Ti-based). Each group was divided into two subgroups (n=10): (A) control group, crowns were subjected to single load to fracture; (B) test group, crowns underwent chewing simulation using multiple loads for 1.2 million cycles at 1.2 Hz with simultaneous thermocycling between 5℃ and 55℃. Data was statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA and a Post-Hoc test. RESULTS All tested crowns survived chewing simulation resulting in 100% survival rate. However, wear facets were observed on all the crowns at the occlusal contact point. Fracture load of monolithic lithium disilicate crowns was statistically significantly lower than that of monolithic zirconia crowns. Also, fracture load was significantly reduced in both of the all-ceramic materials after exposure to chewing simulation and thermocycling. Crowns of all test groups exhibited cohesive fracture within the monolithic crown structure only, and no abutment fractures or screw loosening were observed. CONCLUSION When supported by implants, monolithic zirconia restorations cemented to hybrid abutments withstand masticatory forces. Also, fatigue loading accompanied by simultaneous thermocycling significantly reduces the strength of both of the all-ceramic materials. Moreover, further research is needed to define potentials, limits, and long-term serviceability of the materials and hybrid abutments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective is to establish an approximate relative fatigue life estimation method under simulated mastication load for thin-walled monolithic restorations. METHODS Experimentally measured fatigue parameters of fluormica, leucite, lithium disilicate and yttrium-stabilized zirconia in the existing literature were expressed in terms of the maximum cyclic stress and stress corresponding to initial crack size prior to N number of loading cycles to assess their differences. Assuming that failures mostly originate from high stress region, an approximate restoration life method was explored by ignoring the multi-axial nature of stress state. Experiments utilizing a simple trilayer restoration model with ceramic LD were performed to test the model validity. RESULTS Ceramic fatigue was found to be similar for clinically relevant loading range and mastication frequency, resulting in the development of an approximate fatigue equation that is universally applicable to a wide range of dental ceramic materials. The equation was incorporated into the approximate restoration life estimation, leading to a simple expression in terms of fast fracture parameters, high stress area ΔA, the high stress averaged over ΔA and N. The developed method was preliminarily verified by the experiments. The impact of fast fracture parameters on the restoration life was separated from other factors, and the importance of surface preparation was manifested in the simplified equation. Both the maximum stress and the area of high stress region were also shown to play critical roles. SIGNIFICANCE While nothing can replace actual clinical studies, this method could provide a reasonable preliminary estimation of relative restoration life.

Abstract
Zirconia implants that were restored with veneered zirconia displayed severe chipping rates of the restorations in clinical studies. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture load of different zirconia implant supported monolithic crown materials (zirconia, alumina, lithium disilicate, feldspar ceramic and polymer-infiltrated ceramic) cemented with various cements (Harvard LuteCem SE, Harvard Implant Semi-permanent, Multilink Automix, VITA Adiva F-Cem). Flexural strength and fracture toughness of crown materials and compressive strength of the cements were measured. Fracture load values of crowns fabricated from lithium disilicate, feldspar ceramic and polymer-infiltrated ceramic were increased when cement with high compressive strength was used. Fracture loads for zirconia and alumina crowns were not influenced by the cement. Flexural strength and fracture toughness of the ceramics correlated linearly with the respective fracture load when using adhesive cement with high compressive strength. To achieve sufficient fracture load values, cementation with adhesive cement is essential for feldspar and polymer-infiltrated ceramic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the influence of porcelain (VM9, VITA Zahnfabrik, Germany) thickness on the flexural strength and crack propagation in bilayered zirconia systems (YZ, VITA Zahnfabrik, Germany). MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty zirconia bars (20.0x4.0x1.0 mm) and six zirconia blocks (12.0x7.5x1.2 mm) were prepared and veneered with porcelain with different thickness: 1 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm. The bars of each experimental group (n=10) were subjected to four-point flexural strength testing. In each ceramic block, a Vickers indentation was created under a load of 10 kgf for 10 seconds, for the propagation of cracks. RESULTS The results of flexural strength were evaluated by One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test, with a significance level of 5%. The factor "thickness of the porcelain" was statistically significant (p=0.001) and the l-mm group presented the highest values of flexural strength. The cracks were predominant among the bending specimens with 1 and 2 mm of porcelain, and catastrophic failures were found in 50% of 3-mm-thick porcelain. After the indentation of blocks, the most severe defects were observed in blocks with 3-mm-thick porcelain. CONCLUSION The smallest (1 mm) thickness of porcelain on the zirconia infrastructure presented higher values of flexural strength. Better resistance to defect propagation was observed near the porcelain/ zirconia interface for all groups. Higher flexural strength was found for a thinner porcelain layer in a bilayered zirconia system. The damage caused by a Vickers indentation near and far the interface with the zirconia shows that the stress profiles are different.

Abstract
Zirconias, the strongest of the dental ceramics, are increasingly being fabricated in monolithic form for a range of clinical applications. Y-TZP (yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal) is the most widely used variant. However, current Y-TZP ceramics on the market lack the aesthetics of competitive glass-ceramics and are therefore somewhat restricted in the anterior region. This article reviews the progressive development of currently available and next-generation zirconias, representing a concerted drive toward greater translucency while preserving adequate strength and toughness. Limitations of efforts directed toward this end are examined, such as reducing the content of light-scattering alumina sintering aid or incorporating a component of optically isotropic cubic phase into the tetragonal structure. The latest fabrication routes based on refined starting powders and dopants, with innovative sintering protocols and associated surface treatments, are described. The need to understand the several, often complex, mechanisms of long-term failure in relation to routine laboratory test data is presented as a vital step in bridging the gaps among material scientist, dental manufacturer, and clinical provider.

Abstract
The fabrication of zirconia dental restorations is a time-consuming process due to traditional slow sintering schemes; zirconia (Y-TZP) produced by these conventional routes are predominantly opaque. Novel speed sintering protocols have been developed to meet the demand for time and cost effective chairside CAD/CAM-produced restorations, as well as to control ceramic microstructures for better translucency. Although the speed sintering protocols have already been used to densify dental Y-TZP, the wear properties of these restorations remain elusive. Fast heating and cooling rates, as well as shorter sintering dwell times are known to affect the microstructure and properties of zirconia. Thus, we hypothesize that speed sintered zirconia dental restorations possess distinct wear and physical characteristics relative to their conventionally sintered counterparts. Glazed monolithic molar crowns of translucent Y-TZP (inCoris TZI, Sirona) were fabricated using three distinct sintering profiles: Super-speed (SS, 1580 °C, dwell time 10 min), Speed (S, 1510 °C, dwell time 25 min), and Long-term (LT, 1510 °C, dwell time 120 min). Microstructural, optical and wear properties were investigated. Crowns that were super-speed sintered possessed higher translucency. Areas of mild and severe wear were observed on the zirconia surface in all groups. Micropits in the wear crater were less frequent for the LT group. Groups S and SS exhibited more surface pits, which caused a scratched steatite surface that is associated with a greater volume loss. Tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation, resulting from the sliding wear process, was present in all three groups. Although all test groups had withstood thermo-mechanical challenges, the presence of hairline cracks emanating from the occlusal wear facets and extending deep into the restoration indicates their susceptibility to fatigue sliding contact fracture.

Abstract
Objective In this study, marginal and internal misfit and fracture load with and without thermal-mechanical aging (TMA) of monolithic ZLS and lithium disilicate (LDS) crowns were evaluated. Material and methods Crowns were milled using a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system. Marginal gaps (MGs), absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD), axial gaps, and occlusal gaps were measured by X-ray microtomography (n=8). For fracture load testing, crowns were cemented in a universal abutment, and divided into four groups: ZLS without TMA, ZLS with TMA, LDS without TMA, and LDS with TMA (n=10). TMA groups were subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles (5-55°C) and 1,000,000 mechanical cycles (200 N, 3.8 Hz). All groups were subjected to compressive strength testing in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until failure. Student's t-test was used to examine misfit, two-way analysis of variance was used to analyze fracture load, and Pearson's correlation coefficients for misfit and fracture load were calculated (α=0.05). The materials were analyzed according to Weibull distribution, with 95% confidence intervals. Results Average MG (p<0.001) and AMD (p=0.003) values were greater in ZLS than in LDS crowns. TMA did not affect the fracture load of either material. However, fracture loads of ZLS crowns were lower than those of LDS crowns (p<0.001). Fracture load was moderately correlated with MG (r=-0.553) and AMD (r=-0.497). ZLS with TMA was least reliable, according to Weibull probability. Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, ZLS crowns had lower fracture load values and greater marginal misfit than did LDS crowns, although these values were within acceptable limits.

Abstract
Zirconia is widely used for load-bearing functional structures in medicine and dentistry. The quality of engineered zirconia surfaces determines not only the fracture and fatigue behaviour but also the low temperature degradation (ageing sensitivity), bacterial colonization and bonding strength of zirconia devices. This paper reviews the current manufacturing techniques for fabrication of zirconia surfaces in biomedical applications, particularly, in tooth and joint replacements, and influences of the zirconia surface quality on their functional behaviours. It discusses emerging manufacturing techniques and challenges for fabrication of zirconia surfaces in biomedical applications.

Abstract
This paper studied surface fracture, roughness and morphology, phase transformations, and material removal mechanisms of lithium metasilicate/disilicate glass ceramics (LMGC/LDGC) in CAD/CAM-milling and subsequent surface treatments. LMGC (IPS e.max CAD) blocks were milled using a chairside dental CAD/CAM milling unit and then treated in sintering, polishing and glazing processes. X-ray diffraction was performed on all processed surfaces. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to analyse surface fracture and morphology. Surface roughness was quantitatively characterized by the arithmetic average surface roughness Ra and the maximum roughness Rz using desktop SEM-assisted morphology analytical software. The CAD/CAM milling induced extensive brittle cracks and crystal pulverization on LMGC surfaces, which indicate that the dominant removal mechanism was the fracture mode. Polishing and sintering of the milled LMGC lowered the surface roughness (ANOVA, p < 0.05), respectively, while sintering also fully transformed the weak LMGC to the strong LDGC. However, polishing and glazing of LDGC did not significantly improve the roughness (ANOVA, p > 0.05). In comparison of all applied fabrication process routes, it is found that CAD/CAM milling followed by polishing and sintering produced the smoothest surface with Ra = 0.12 ± 0.08µm and Rz = 0.89 ± 0.26µm. Thus, it is proposed as the optimized process route for LMGC/LDGC in dental restorations. This route enables to manufacture LMGC/LDGC restorations with cost effectiveness, time efficiency, and improved surface quality for better occlusal functions and reduced bacterial plaque accumulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide background information and guidance as to how to use fractography accurately, a powerful tool for failure analysis of dental ceramic structures. METHODS An extended palette of qualitative and quantitative fractography is provided, both for in vivo and in vitro fracture surface analyses. As visual support, this guidance document will provide micrographs of typical critical ceramic processing flaws, differentiating between pre- versus post sintering cracks, grinding damage related failures and occlusal contact wear origins and of failures due to surface degradation. RESULTS The documentation emphasizes good labeling of crack features, precise indication of the direction of crack propagation (dcp), identification of the fracture origin, the use of fractographic photomontage of critical flaws or flaw labeling on strength data graphics. A compilation of recommendations for specific applications of fractography in Dentistry is also provided. SIGNIFICANCE This guidance document will contribute to a more accurate use of fractography and help researchers to better identify, describe and understand the causes of failure, for both clinical and laboratory-scale situations. If adequately performed at a large scale, fractography will assist in optimizing the methods of processing and designing of restorative materials and components. Clinical failures may be better understood and consequently reduced by sending out the correct message regarding the fracture origin in clinical trials.

Three-dimensional characterization and distribution of fabrication defects in bilayered lithium disilicate glass-ceramic molar crowns. Dent Mater 2017; 33:e178-e185. [PMID: 28279435 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2017.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2016] [Revised: 01/17/2017] [Accepted: 01/17/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate and characterize the distribution of fabrication defects in bilayered lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDG) crowns using micro-CT and 3D reconstruction. METHODS Ten standardized molar crowns (IPS e.max Press; Ivoclar Vivadent) were fabricated by heat-pressing on a core and subsequent manual veneering. All crowns were scanned by micro-CT and 3D reconstructed. Volume, position and sphericity of each defect was measured in every crown. Each crown was divided into four regions-central fossa (CF), occlusal fossa (OF), cusp (C) and axial wall (AW). Porosity and number density of each region were calculated. Statistical analyses were performed using Welch two sample t-test, Friedman one-way rank sum test and Nemenyi post-hoc test. The defect volume distribution type was determined based on Akaike information criterion (AIC). RESULTS The core ceramic contained fewer defects (p<0.001) than the veneer layer. The size of smaller defects, which were 95% of the total, obeyed a logarithmic normal distribution. Region CF showed higher porosity (p<0.001) than the other regions. Defect number density of region CF was higher than region C (p<0.001) and region AW (p=0.029), but no difference was found between region CF and OF (p>0.05). Four of ten specimens contained the largest pores in region CF, while for the remaining six specimens the largest pore was in region OF. SIGNIFICANCE LDG core ceramic contained fewer defects than the veneer ceramic. LDG strength estimated from pore size was comparable to literature values. Large defects were more likely to appear at the core-veneer interface of occlusal fossa, while small defects also distributed in every region of the crowns but tended to aggregate in the central fossa region. Size distribution of small defects in veneer obeyed a logarithmic normal distribution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this article is to describe the importance of fatigue to the success of restorative dentistry, with emphasis on the methods for evaluating the fatigue properties of materials in this field, and the durability of their bonded interfaces. METHODS The stress-life fatigue and fatigue crack growth approaches for evaluating the fatigue resistance of dental biomaterials are introduced. Emphasis is placed on in vitro studies of the hard tissue foundation, restorative materials and their bonded interfaces. The concept of durability is then discussed, including the effects of conventional "mechanical" fatigue combined with pervasive threats of the oral environment, including variations in pH and the activation of endogenous dentin proteases. RESULTS There is growing evidence that fatigue is a principal contributor to the failure of restorations and that measures of static strength, used in qualifying new materials and practices, are not reflective of the fatigue performance. Results of selected studies show that the fundamental steps involved in the placement of restorations, including the cutting of preparations and etching, cause a significant reduction to the fatigue strength of the hard tissue foundation. In regards to the bonded interface, results of studies focused on fatigue resistance highlight the importance of the hybridization of resin tags, and that a reduction in integrity of the dentin collagen is detrimental to the durability of dentin bonds. SIGNIFICANCE Fatigue should be a central concern in the development of new dental materials and in assessing the success of restorative practices. A greater recognition of contributions from fatigue to restoration failures, and the development of approaches with closer connection to in vivo conditions, will be essential for extending the definition of lifelong oral health.
