How do different intraoral scanners and milling machines affect the fit and fatigue behavior of lithium disilicate and resin composite endocrowns? J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 155:106557. [PMID: 38657286 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106557] [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: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the combinations of two different intraoral scanners (IOS), two milling machines, and two restorative materials on the marginal/internal fit and fatigue behavior of endocrowns produced by CAD-CAM. Eight groups (n= 10) were considered through the combination of TRIOS 3 (TR) or Primescan (PS) IOS; 4-axes (CR; CEREC MC XL) or 5-axes (PM; PrograMill PM7) milling machines; and lithium disilicate (LD; IPS e.max CAD) or resin composite (RC; Tetric CAD) restorative materials. Specific surface treatments were applied to each material, and the bonding to its corresponding Endocrown-shaped fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin preparations was performed (Variolink Esthetic DC). Computed microtomography (μCT) was performed to assess the marginal/internal fit, as well as a mechanical fatigue test (20 Hz, initial load = 100 N/5000 cycles; step-size = 50 N/10,000 cycles until a threshold of 1500 N, then, the step-size was increased if needed to 100 N/10,000 cycles until failure or a threshold of 2800 N) to evaluate the restorations long-term behavior. Complementary analysis of the fracture features and surface topography in scanning electron microscopy was performed. Three-way ANOVA and Kaplan-Meier test (α = 0.05) were performed for marginal/internal fit, and fatigue behavior data, respectively. PS scanner, CR milling machine, and RC endocrowns resulted in a better marginal fit compared to their counterparts. Still, the PM machine resulted in a better pulpal space fit compared to the CR milling machine. Regardless of the scanner and milling machine, RC endocrowns exhibited superior fatigue behavior than LD ones. LD endocrowns presented margin chipping regardless of the milling machine used. Despite minor differences in terms of fit, the 'IOS' and 'milling machine' factors did not impair the fatigue behavior of endocrowns. Resin-composite restorations resulted in a higher survival rate compared to glass-ceramic ones, independently of the digital devices used in the workflow.

Morsy N, Ghoneim MM, Ibrahim Y. Effect of cement spacer on fit accuracy and fracture strength of 3-unit and 4-unit zirconia frameworks. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:586. [PMID: 38773502 PMCID: PMC11106921 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04341-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cement spacer is essential for compensating deformation of zirconia restoration after sintering shrinkage, allowing proper seating and better fracture resistance of the restoration. Studies assessing the effect of cement spacer on fit accuracy and fracture strength of zirconia frameworks are missing in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different cement spacer settings on fit accuracy and fracture strength of 3-unit and 4-unit zirconia frameworks. METHODS Sixty standardized stainless-steel master dies were manufactured with 2 prepared abutments for fabricating 3-unit and 4-unit zirconia frameworks. The frameworks were assigned into 6 groups (n = 10) according to cement spacer setting (30 μm, 50 μm, and 80 μm) as follows: 3-unit frameworks; 3u-30, 3u-50, 3u-80, and 4-unit frameworks; 4u-30, 4u-50, and 4u-80. The frameworks were assessed for fit accuracy with the replica method. The specimens were cemented to their corresponding dies, and the fracture strength was measured in a universal testing machine. The Weibull parameters were calculated for the study groups and fractured specimens were inspected for failure mode. Two-Way ANOVA followed by Tukey test for pairwise comparison between study groups (α = 0.05). RESULTS The cement spacer had a significant effect on both fit accuracy and fracture strength for 3-unit and 4-unit frameworks. The 50 μm spacer had significantly better fit accuracy followed by 80 μm, and 30 μm spacers. Both 50 μm and 80 μm spacers had similar fracture strength, and both had significantly better strength than 30 μm spacer. CONCLUSIONS For both 3-unit and 4-unit zirconia frameworks, 50 μm cement spacer can be recommended over 30 μm and 80 μm spacers for significantly better fit accuracy and adequate fracture strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocrown in pediatric dentistry was rooted in the fundamental principles of preserving healthy dental tissues, leveraging contemporary adhesive methodologies. AIM This research aimed on assessing and comparing the fracture resistance of pulpotomized primary molars when rehabilitated with zirconia crowns and two distinct types of endocrowns, namely E-Max and Brilliant Crios. METHODS The study involved thirty, anonymized, freshly extracted second primary molars that underwent pulpotomy. These teeth were then evenly divided into three groups, each consisting of ten specimens: the zirconia crown, the E-Max endocrown, and the Brilliant Crios endocrown groups. Post-pulpotomy, the teeth were prepared for their respective restorations. Subsequent to this preparation, the zirconia crowns, E-Max endocrowns, and Brilliant Crios endocrowns were secured. To evaluate the fracture resistance using a computer-controlled testing machine (Instron), a progressively increasing load was applied to each group until fracture occurred. The gathered data were then analyzed for outliers and subjected to normality testing using the Shapiro-Wilk and/or Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, with a significance threshold set at 0.05. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in fracture resistance of pulpotomized primary molars among lithium disilicate (E-Max) group (mean=1367.59N), Brilliant Crios group (mean=1349.73N) and zirconia group (mean=1240.82N). CONCLUSION Endocrowns can be considered a promising restoration for pulpotomized primary molars.

Influence of CAD-CAM milling strategies on the outcome of indirect restorations: A scoping review. J Prosthet Dent 2024; 131:811.e1-811.e10. [PMID: 38480018 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.02.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The influence of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) parameters and settings on the outcomes of milled indirect restorations is poorly understood. PURPOSE The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the current CAM systems, parameters, and setting changes, and their effects on different outcomes of milled indirect restorations and aspects related to their manufacture. MATERIAL AND METHODS The protocol of this review is available online (https://osf.io/x28ps/). Studies that used at least 2 different parameters (CAM units, number of axes, digital spacers, or protocols with different rotatory instruments, grit-sizes, milling speed, or others) for milling indirect restorations were included. A structured search up to July 2023 was performed by 2 independent reviewers for articles written in English in LILACS, MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. RESULTS Of 1546 studies identified, 22 were included in the review. Discrepancies were found between the planned and actual measured cement space, with a decreasing linear relationship impacting restoration adaptation at different points. The CEREC MC XL milling machine was the most used system in the included studies, with variations in bur types, milling modes, and number of burs uses affecting internal fit and surface trueness. The results demonstrated the better adaptation of restorations made with 5-axis over 3-axis milling machines. Lithium disilicate and zirconia were the most commonly used materials, and crowns and inlays were popular designs. Marginal and internal adaptation were the primary outcomes assessed using the various techniques. CONCLUSIONS The study presented a comprehensive exploration of CAM systems and parameters, and their influence on indirect restorations. The planned cement space was not properly reproduced by the milling. Bur characteristics can affect restoration fit and trueness. The 5-axis units seem to result in better-adapted restorations compared with 3- and 4-axis units.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the fracture resistance of 0.5-mm-thick restorations for minimally invasive therapy. Anterior partial-coverage crowns composed of three-dimensional (3D)-printed 3-mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP; Lithacon 3Y210, Lithoz) and 3D-printed composite (Varseo Smile Crown plus, Bego) were compared with a control group made from milled 3Y-TZP (Cercon ht, DentsplySirona). METHODS Three groups each with 27 restorations were produced. For milled 3Y-TZP partial-coverage crowns, drill compensation was needed so the milling bur could access the inner surface at the incisal edge. Restoration fit was verified by cross-sectioning 12 specimens in each group. The remaining 15 restorations were sandblasted (Al2O3, 0.1 MPa) and adhesively cemented (Panavia SA, Kuraray) onto CoCr teeth. Static load-to-failure tests were performed. The load was induced on the incisal edge. The forces needed to fracture the specimens were analyzed using the Welch analysis of variance and post hoc Dunnet-T3 tests. The Weibull parameters were also calculated. RESULTS Drill compensation increased cement thickness at the loading area by 200 µm in milled 3Y-TZP restorations compared with the 3D-printed partial-coverage crowns. Fracture resistance was the highest in 3D-printed 3Y-TZP restorations (1570±661N) followed by milled 3Y-TZP (886±164N) and 3D-printed composite partial-coverage crowns (570±233 N). Milled 3Y-TZP was associated with a substantially higher Weibull modulus (m=6) than the 3D-printed materials (m=2), suggesting greater reliability. CONCLUSIONS Fracture resistance increased with tighter fit, demonstrating the benefit of the geometric freedom associated with 3D-printing. Future research should focus on making 3D-printed 3Y-TZP more reliable to increase its safety in clinical use.

Abstract
Background/purpose Nowadays, zirconia-based framework has been used for longspan or full-arch fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pontic distribution on marginal and internal gaps of five-unit anterior zirconiabased DPs. Materials and methods Right maxillary central incisor and second premolar were selected as terminal abutments and three different edentulous conditions with one nonterminal abutment were simulated. Marginal and internal gaps in each zirconia-based samples(n = 10) were examined by computer-aided replica technique. Five regions, including marginal gaps at mesial or distal finishing line, internal gaps at the mesial or distal axial wall, and occlusal surface, were statistically analyzed (α = .05). Results Most of marginal gaps and internal gaps at axial wall were clinically acceptable, but larger at occlusal surface. For the three experimental groups, clinically accepted percentage with qualified gaps were less than 30%.There were statistical differences at axial wall over pontic side and marginal gaps over non-pontic side between groups (P<0.05). For sum of gaps of all abutments in each group, statistical differences were found at marginal and axial wall (P < 0.05). As for those on terminal and non-terminal abutments, statistical differences were found on second premolar (P < 0.05). Conclusion Except for occlusal surface, the overall marginal gaps and internal gaps at axial wall of five-unit anterior zirconia-based FDPs with different pontic distribution were clinically acceptable. However, the percentage with qualified gaps were low (<30%). Greater gaps were noted when adjacent pontic existed. Different pontic size and distribution with curvature had an influence on the gaps.

Abstract
The field of dentistry is constantly evolving and increasingly embracing minimally invasive approaches. One such approach, which is bonding to the tooth structure, particularly enamel, has been shown to offer the most predictable outcomes. However, there are instances where significant tooth loss may limit treatment options for a restorative dentist. In these scenarios, indirect restoration might be the preferred treatment option. This literature review provides a comprehensive examination of the currently available resin luting agents and their bonding requirements. It provides valuable insights for dental professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of the current state of the field and the future prospects of dental adhesion.

[PMID: 38187296 PMCID: PMC10767202 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the morphology, shear bond, and flexural fatigue strength of a repaired translucent zirconia. Methods Monolithic disc-shaped specimens of translucent zirconia were prepared and ground to simulate repair areas. Four groups underwent different treatments: Air-MDP (air-abrasion with alumina particles and 10-MDP primer), Si-Sil (silica-coated alumina particles with MDP-containing silane), Si-MDP (silica coating with 10-MDP primer), and Uni adhe (universal adhesive). After roughness measurements and treatments, repairs were done using resin composite. Shear bond and flexural (n = 15) fatigue tests were performed. Surface topography, interfacial analysis, fractographic, and finite element analysis were conducted. Results The zirconia roughness was similar between the groups, however, the surface topography was modified according to the surface treatments. Si-Sil generated higher and more stable bond strength values (20.69 MPa) between translucent zirconia and resin composite when compared to Uni adhe (15.75 MPa) considering the fatigue bond strength scenario, while it was similar to Si-MDP (17.70 MPa) and Air-MDP (18.97 MPa). Regarding the mechanical behavior, Si-Sil (680.83 MPa) also showed higher and significantly different fatigue strength when compared to Uni adhe (584.55 MPa), while both were similar to Si-MDP (634.22 MPa) and Air-MDP (641.86 MPa). Conclusion The association of mechanical and chemical approaches is essential for long-term bond strength and optimized mechanical behavior, being air-abrasion protocols and the use of silane and/or MDP-based primers suitable for zirconia repair protocols. It was found that relying solely on a universal adhesive was not as effective as other options available. Clinical significance The surface treatment of repair protocols affects translucent zirconia's morphology. To enhance fatigue behavior in repaired monolithic zirconia, air abrasion is crucial. Exclusive use of a universal adhesive is less effective than other choices. A primer containing silane/MDP holds the potential for stable bond strength and optimized mechanical performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of different CAD/CAM materials and occlusal thicknesses on the fracture resistance of primary molar crowns. METHODS Sixty extracted primary molar teeth were prepared and randomly divided into six experimental groups according to the material and thickness. Primary molar crowns with a central groove thickness of 0.3 and 0.5 mm were fabricated from CAD/CAM zirconia (group Z), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (group ZLS), and pre-polymerized composite resin blocks (group C). Each crown was cemented with self-adhesive resin cement on the prepared tooth. All specimens were subjected to fracture tests until fracture. Fracture load values were recorded in Newtons (N). Data were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey multiple comparison test. RESULTS The highest fracture load values were obtained in group Z at 0.5 mm occlusal thickness and were significantly higher compared with the other experimental groups (p < 0.05). Although the lowest fracture load values were obtained in group ZLS at 0.3 mm occlusal thickness, all the tested CAD/CAM primary molar crowns at both thicknesses demonstrated fracture load values exceeding reported chewing force in pediatric patients. CONCLUSION CAD/CAM primary molar crowns with reduced occlusal thickness may be used for the full-coverage restoration of primary molar teeth.

Abstract
Background Choosing implant crown materials for restoration remains challenging in clinical practice. This study assesses the impact of all-ceramic restoration instead of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restoration on the stress distribution within implant components and the surrounding bone. Methods Four 3D models of a mandibular second premolar were meticulously prepared. The study groups comprised zirconia, lithium disilicate, and zirconia lithium silicate monolithic ceramic crowns cemented onto a zirconia hybrid abutment. A PFM crown cemented onto a cementable abutment was chosen as the control group. A total vertical load of 583 N was applied to the occlusal contact areas. Stress distribution within the crown and implant components was analyzed using von Mises stress analysis. Principal stress analyses were employed to assess stress distribution in the peripheral bone. Results The PFM model exhibited the highest von Mises stress values for both the implant (428.7 MPa) and crown (79.7 MPa) compared to the other models. The all-ceramic models displayed the highest maximum von Mises stress within the abutment, approximately 335 MPa, compared to the PFM model. von Mises stresses of the abutment and implant in the all-ceramic models were 69% higher and 20% lower, respectively, than those in the PFM model. Screw stresses were relatively consistent across all groups. Principal stresses in spongy bone and minimum principal stress in cortical bone were consistent across all models. Conclusions All-ceramic restoration with a hybrid abutment, as opposed to traditional PFM restoration with a cementable abutment, does not adversely affect the implant and abutment screw and reduces crown stresses. Stresses within hybrid abutments were notably higher than those within cementable abutments. Spongy bone stresses remained unaffected by the type of crown or abutment.

Pilecco RO, da Rosa LS, Pereira GKR, Tribst JPM, May LG, Valandro LF. The loss of resin cement adhesion to ceramic influences the fatigue behavior of bonded lithium disilicate restorations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 148:106169. [PMID: 37837872 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023]
Abstract
When partial and/or non-retentive preparation, such as those for occlusal veneers, is indicated, a proper and stable adhesion is essential. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of loss of adhesion in different regions of the bonding interface on the fatigue behavior of simplified lithium disilicate restorations. For this, lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD) discs (1 mm thick and Ø = 10 mm) were fabricated, polished with #400-, #600-, #1200-grit silicon carbide (SiC) papers, and crystallized. As substrate, fiber-reinforced resin epoxy discs (2.5 mm thick and Ø = 10 mm) were fabricated and polished with #600-grit SiC paper. The ceramic bonding surface was treated with 5% hydrofluoric acid and a silane-containing primer (Monobond N), while the substrate was etched with 10% hydrofluoric acid followed by the application of the bonding system primers (Primer A + B). A lacquer (nail polish) was used to simulate the loss of adhesion in specific areas according to the study design to compose the testing groups: bonded (control; did not received nail polish application); - non-bonded (loss of adhesion in the whole specimen area); - margin (loss of adhesion in the ceramic margin); - center (loss of adhesion in the ceramic central area). The adhesive area of partially bonded groups was 50% of the adhesive surface. Then, the discs (n = 12) were bonded to the respective substrate using a resin cement (Multilink N), light-cured, water-stored for 90 days, and subjected to thermocycling (25,000 cycles, 5° to 55 °C) before testing. A cyclic fatigue test was run (20 Hz, initial load of 200 N for 5000 cycles, 50 N step size for 10,000 cycles each until specimen failure), and the fatigue failure load and number of cycles for failure were recorded. As complementary analysis, finite element analysis (FEA) and scanning electron microscopy analysis were performed. Kaplan-Meier log-rank (Mantel-Cox) was conducted for survival analysis. The results showed that as the loss of adhesion reaches the central area, the worse is the fatigue behavior and the higher is the stress peak concentration in the ceramic bonding surface. The bonded specimens presented better fatigue behavior and stress distribution compared to the others. In conclusion in a non-retentive preparation situation, proper adhesion is a must for the restoration fatigue behavior even after aging; while the loss of adhesion reaches central areas the mechanical functioning is compromised.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of two different internal surface treatments, namely, the firing of feldspathic porcelain before or after zirconia sintering, on the marginal and internal adaptation of laminate veneers (LVs) made of high-translucent zirconia. A total of 33 zirconia LVs were fabricated using a CAD/CAM system and divided into three groups based on the internal surface treatment method: the pre-firing (PRE) group involved firing feldspathic porcelain before zirconia sintering, the post-firing (POS) group involved firing feldspathic porcelain after zirconia sintering, and the no treatment (NT) group involved no application of feldspathic porcelain. The adaptation of the LVs was measured using a silicone replica technique. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Steel-Dwass tests (α = .05). The POS group showed significantly higher marginal discrepancy values than the PRE group across all sites. The internal space values of the PRE groups were significantly lower than those of the NT group at all sites. The internal firing of feldspathic porcelain before zirconia sintering resulted in better marginal adaptation of the high-translucent zirconia LVs than the internal firing of feldspathic porcelain after zirconia sintering. The internal firing of feldspathic porcelain before zirconia sintering can achieve uniform internal adaptation of high-translucent zirconia LVs.

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.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A novel monolithic zirconia restoration fabricated by additive 3-dimensional (3D) gel deposition, named as self-glazed zirconia (SGZ), has recently been developed. SGZ crowns exhibit reliable mechanical properties and esthetic appearance, but their adaptation and uniformity are unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the adaptation and uniformity of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by additive 3D gel deposition with that of milled zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten identical resin abutments were made based on the scanning data of an extracted and prepared human mandibular first molar. Three types of monolithic crowns were then fabricated by using 2 different processes: 3D gel deposition zirconia (SGZ), milled zirconia (ZZ), and milled lithium disilicate (EMX) (n=10) through a completely digital workflow. The nondestructive direct-view technique and replica technique were used to measure the marginal and internal discrepancy values individually. The uniformity index was calculated to describe the uniformity of the internal space. The results were analyzed by using 1-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests (α=.05). RESULTS The marginal discrepancy of EMX exhibited the highest values among the 3 groups (P=.001). The 2 types of zirconia crowns had comparable marginal discrepancy values (P>.05). The internal discrepancy values of SGZ were significantly lower than those of EMX at the occlusal region and of ZZ at all measured locations (P<.05). All 3 types of monolithic crowns showed comparable good uniformity (P=.056). CONCLUSIONS The marginal and internal adaptations of novel monolithic zirconia crowns were within clinical requirements. Compared with the zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns fabricated by subtractive milling, monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by additive 3D gel deposition had comparable uniformity and better internal adaptation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and measure the microleakage inhibiting quality of provisional restorations manufactured using computer-aided manufacturing, 3D printing, and chairside molded provisional restorative materials. Fifteen provisional restorations each from 3D printed, milled, and chairside molded were manufactured. All restorations were cemented onto sintered zirconia abutment dies and adhered with zinc-oxide non-eugenol temporary cement. Artificial aging was conducted by thermocycling for 800 cycles to simulate 1 month of clinical use. All specimens were submerged in 2% (w/w) methylene blue for 24 hours at 37°C, sectioned, and analyzed digitally for the distance of dye penetration through image analysis. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn-Bonferroni post-hoc. Significant differences in dye penetration depth were observed between all groups except milled vs chairside molded. Light microscopy revealed differences in mean cement thickness for 3D printed, milled, and chairside molded of 83.6 µm (1σ = 31.9 µm), 149.1 µm (1σ = 88.7 µm) and 137.9 µm (1σ = 67.2 µm) respectively. Conclusion: 3D printed provisional restorations were found to have the least amount of microleakage compared to milled and chairside molded provisional restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study was performed to evaluate fatigue survival by shear test in the union of leucite-reinforced feldspathic ceramic using different cement thicknesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Leucite-reinforced glass ceramics blocks were sectioned in 2-mm thick slices where resin cylinders were cemented. The samples were distributed in two experimental groups (n = 20) according to the cement thickness (60 and 300 μm). The specimens of each group were submitted to the stepwise fatigue test in the mechanical cycling machine under shear stress state, with a frequency of 2 Hz, a step-size of 0.16 bar, starting with a load of 31 N (1.0 bar) and a lifetime of 20,000 cycles at each load step. RESULTS The samples were analyzed in a stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscopy to determine the failure type. There is no significant difference between the mean values of shear bond strength according to both groups. Log-rank (p = 0.925) and Wilcoxon (p = 0.520) tests revealed a similar survival probability in both cement layer thicknesses according to the confidence interval (95%). The fracture analysis showed that the mixed failure was the most common failure type in the 300-μm thickness group (80%), while adhesive failure was predominant in the 60-μm thickness group (67%). The different cement thicknesses did not influence the leucite ceramic bonding in fatigue shear testing; however, the thicker cement layer increased the predominance of the ceramic material failure. CONCLUSION The resin cement thicknesses bonded to leucite ceramic did not influence the long-term interfacial shear bond strength, although thicker cement layer increased the ceramic material cohesive failure. Regardless the cement layer thickness, the shear bond strength lifetime decreases under fatigue.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the mechanical properties of different CAD/CAM ceramic systems and the post-fatigue fracture and stress distribution when used as cemented crowns. Materials and methods Sixty (60) CAD/CAM monolithic crowns were milled using three different ceramic materials (FD - Feldspathic [Vita Mark II]), LE - Leucite-based ceramic [IPS Empress CAD] and LD - Lithium Disilicate [IPS e.max CAD]) and adhesively cemented on resin composite dyes. Specimens were stored in distillated water (37 °C) for 7 days. After, half of the crowns were submitted to immediate fracture load test while the other half was submitted to fatigue cycling. The average cement layer of approximately 80 μm was assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average thickness was used in the three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Analysis (FEA). For each ceramic material, the density, Poisson ratio, shear modulus, Young modulus, fracture toughness, and true hardness were assessed (n = 3). The data was used to assess the Maximum Principal Stress throughout 3D-FEA according to each material during load to fail and post-fatigue. Data were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Results LD showed the highest compression load, density, shear modulus, Young modulus, fracture toughness and true hardness values. While LE presented the lowest mechanical properties values. There is no difference in the Poisson ratio between the evaluated ceramics. Conclusion LD was susceptible to aging process but presented stronger physicomechanical properties, showing the highest post-fatigue fracture load and highest stress magnitude.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the existing scientific evidence on the effect of distinct intraoral (IOS) and extraoral (EOS) scanners in terms of their accuracy for image acquisition and the marginal/internal adaptation of indirect restorations. METHODS The protocol of this scoping review is available online (https://osf.io/cwua7/). A structured search, with no date restriction, was performed in LILACS, MEDLINE via Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus, for articles written in English. The inclusion criteria were studies that considered at least two scanners, regardless of method (intra or extraoral), for the production of tooth-supported restorations. Two independent and blinded researchers screened the studies, collected and analyzed the data descriptively. RESULTS 103 studies were included (55 on marginal/internal adaptation, 33 on accuracy, 5 on both outcomes, and 10 reviews). Most of them, shown clinically acceptable adaptation (<120 μm). Factors commonly related to the performance of scanners are: use of anti-reflection powders, method of image acquisition, and restoration/tooth characteristics. The need of anti-reflection powders was controversial. Different scanning principles seems to result on similar performance; IOS that combine them could be promising. The most explored systems were Omnicam - IOS, and inEos X5 - EOS, which showed similar performance on marginal/internal adaptation. Scarce studies explored the performance of EOS systems, especially in terms of accuracy. Different restoration designs as single-unit seemed not to modify the performance of scanners. Limited information is available regarding the planned cement space, restorative material and design (multi-unit restorations), as also techniques to measure adaptation. CONCLUSIONS Digital scanners are valid approaches to obtain accurate impressions resulting in clinically acceptable restorations. Systems that uses combined principles of image acquisition seems promising for optimal performance. Based on high discrepancy, the quality of evaluated evidence is low, and well-designed studies are still encouraged, especially considering validated IOS/EOS as a control comparison condition.

Abstract
The development of 3D-printed crown resin materials with improved mechanical and physical properties is an area of growing interest in dentistry. This study aimed to develop a 3D-printed crown resin material modified with zirconia glass (ZG) and glass silica (GS) microfillers to enhance overall mechanical and physical properties. A total of 125 specimens were created and divided into five groups: control unmodified resin, 5% either ZG or GS reinforced 3D-printed resin, and 10% either ZG or GS reinforced 3D-printed resin. The fracture resistance, surface roughness, and translucency parameter were measured, and fractured crowns were studied under a scanning electron microscope. The results showed that 3D-printed parts that were strengthened with ZG and GS microfillers demonstrated comparable mechanical performance to unmodified crown resin but resulted in greater surface roughness, and only the group that contained 5% ZG showed an increase in translucency. However, it should be noted that increased surface roughness may impact the aesthetics of the crowns, and further optimisation of microfillers concentrations may be necessary. These findings suggest that the newly developed dental-based resins that incorporate microfillers could be suitable for clinical applications, but further studies are necessary to optimise the nanoparticle concentrations and investigate their long-term clinical outcomes.

Attia MA, Blunt L, Bills P, Tawfik A, Radawn M. Micro-CT analysis of marginal and internal fit of milled and pressed polyetheretherketone single crowns. J Prosthet Dent 2023:S0022-3913(23)00183-X. [PMID: 37072286 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.03.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/20/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been increasingly used as a framework material in prosthetic dentistry. However, data on the marginal and internal fit of PEEK restorations fabricated by using either the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) or heat-pressing technique are sparse. PURPOSE The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the marginal and internal fit of milled and pressed PEEK single crowns by using microcomputed tomography (μCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A custom-made, single stainless-steel die was designed to replicate a maxillary first premolar prepared for a ceramic crown. PEEK copings (N=30) were fabricated and allocated to 3 groups (n=10) according to the fabrication technique: milled from a prefabricated PEEK blank, heat pressed from PEEK pellets, and heat pressed from PEEK granules. All copings were veneered with a composite resin material. The marginal fit was recorded at 4 predetermined points and the internal fit at 8 predetermined points on each crown by using μCT. Two-way ANOVA, pair-wise Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD), and simple main effect tests were used for statistical analysis of the data (α=.05). RESULTS Concerning marginal fit, the milled crowns demonstrated the best marginal fit overall (44 ±3 μm), followed by those pressed from pellets (92 ±3 μm), and finally by those pressed from granules (137 ±7 μm) (P<.001). The interaction between the effects of the fabrication technique and the measurement point on the marginal fit was not statistically significant (P=.142). The milled crowns demonstrated the lowest mean gap values overall, followed by those pressed from pellets and those pressed from granules (P<.001). The interaction between the effects of the fabrication technique and the measurement point on the internal fit was statistically significant (P<.001). Except for the distal occlusal gap and mesial occlusal gap, all tested groups showed a statistically significant difference (P<.001). In addition, statistically significant differences were observed among all measurement points in different fabrication techniques (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The marginal and internal fit of milled PEEK crowns was significantly better than pressed crowns. However, both CAD-CAM and heat-pressing techniques produced PEEK crowns with a clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. The mean marginal gap of the PEEK crowns pressed from granules was above the range of clinically acceptable value.

High-versus low-viscosity resin cements: Its effect on the load-bearing capacity under fatigue of a translucent zirconia. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 142:105829. [PMID: 37068429 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to characterize the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of a resin cement with distinct viscosities, and to evaluate their impact on the static and fatigue strength of a translucent zirconia (4Y-PSZ) after air-abrasion surface treatment. Bar-shaped specimens of two different viscosities of resin cement (high and low) were obtained (25 × 10 × 3 mm). Sonelastic and Maxwell principles tests were performed to determine the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of each resin cement. Disc-shaped specimens of 4Y-PSZ were made (Ø = 15 mm, 1.2 mm in thickness) for the mechanical tests and allocated into groups according to two factors: surface treatment (presence or absence of air-abrasion with alumina particles; 45 μm grain-size); cement (absence, low or high viscosity). The static (n = 10) and cyclical (n = 15) biaxial flexural strength tests were performed by piston-on-three-balls geometry. A fatigue strength test was executed (20 Hz, initial stress of 60 MPa [12% of the mean static biaxial flexural strength], followed by increments of 25 MPa [5% of the mean static biaxial flexural strength] at each step of 10,000 cycles until the failure). The obtained data were analyzed by Weibull analysis. Survival rates were tabulated by the Kaplan-Meier test. Complementary analyses of surface roughness, topography, cross-sectional interfacial zone, fractography, and zirconia crystalline content (X-ray diffraction) were also performed. The evaluated resin cements with high and low viscosity presented similar elastic modulus (13.63 GPa; 12.74 GPa) and Poisson's ratio (0.32; 0.30), respectively. The air-abraded groups depicted higher mechanical strength of the zirconia ceramics than non-abraded groups (p˂ 0.05), regardless of the resin cement. 4Y-PSZ adhesively bonded to a high or low viscosity resin cement have statistically similar behavior (p˃ 0.05). The mechanical structural reliability of the 4Y-PSZ was not affected by the factors. Therefore, resin cement with high and low viscosity presented similar properties and potential to fill the zirconia surface, and did not affect the mechanical behavior of 4Y-PSZ. However, the air-abrasion surface treatment increased the static and fatigue flexural strength of the translucent zirconia.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of resin cement coating with high and low viscosities on the flexural fatigue strength of machined lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. Discs (IPS e.max CAD; Ivoclar Vivadent) were prepared and divided according to the surface condition (machining [M]-CEREC inLab; and polishing [P]-laboratory procedures), resin cement coating (with or without), and cement viscosity (high [H] and low [L]). The ceramic bonding surface was etched/primed by a one-step primer application followed by resin cement application (Variolink N base + high or low viscosity catalyst; Ivoclar Vivadent). Biaxial flexural fatigue strength was evaluated on a piston-on-three-ball set by the step-test method (n = 15) (initial stress: 60 MPa; incremental steps: 20 MPa; 10,000 cycles/step, at 20 Hz). Weibull statistics were used for fatigue data. Contact angle, topographic, and fractographic analysis were also performed. Machining produced statistically lower contact angle than polishing and a significant detrimental effect on the fatigue behavior (σ0 M = 247.2 [246.9-268.3]; σ0 P = 337.4 [297.8-382.4]). Machined groups followed by resin cement coating (σ0 MH = 297.9 [276.0-321.5]; σ0 Ml = 301.2 [277.1-327.4]) behaved similarly to the polished and coated groups (σ0 PH = 342.0 [308.9-378.5]; σ0 PL = 357.3 [324.7-393.1]), irrespective of the cement viscosity. Therefore, cement coating has able to revert the detrimental effects of the machining on the fatigue strength of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. High and low viscosity cements behaved similarly in the improvement of CAD-CAM lithium disilicate fatigue strength.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Intraoral scanners (IOSs) are widely used for partial-coverage adhesive restorations, but data on their performance in such preparations with complex geometries are sparse. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate whether the partial-coverage adhesive preparation design and finish line depth affect the trueness and precision of different IOSs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seven partial-coverage adhesive preparation designs (4 different onlays, 2 endocrowns, and 1 occlusal veneer) were tested on copies of the same tooth placed in a typodont mounted on a mannequin. Each preparation was scanned 10 times with 6 different IOSs (total 420 scans) under the same light conditions. Trueness and precision, defined according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5725-1 standard, were analyzed with a best-fit algorithm by superimposition. The obtained data were analyzed by a 2-way analysis of variance to examine the effects of partial-coverage adhesive preparation design, IOS, and their interactions (α=.05). RESULTS Significant differences were found among different preparation designs and IOSs (P<.05) in terms of both trueness and precision. Significant differences were also found among mean positive and negative values (P<.05). Moreover, crosslinks observed between the preparation area and the adjacent teeth correlated with the finish line depth. CONCLUSIONS Complex partial adhesive preparation designs affect the trueness and precision of IOSs, resulting in significant differences among them. Interproximal preparations should take into account the IOS's resolution and placing the finish line close to adjacent structures should be avoided.

Ceramic surface conditioning, resin cement viscosity, and aging relationships affect the load-bearing capacity under fatigue of bonded glass-ceramics. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 139:105667. [PMID: 36657192 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of ceramic surface treatments, resin cement viscosities, and storage regimens on the fatigue performance of bonded glass-ceramics (lithium disilicate, LD; feldspathic, FEL). Ceramic discs (Ø = 10 mm; thickness = 1.5 mm) were allocated into eight groups per ceramic (n = 15), considering three factors: "ceramic surface treatment" in two levels - 5% hydrofluoric acid etching and silane-based coupling agent application (HF), or self-etching ceramic primer (E&P); "resin cement viscosity" in two levels - in high or low viscosity; and "storage regimen" in two levels - baseline, 24 h to 5 days; or aging, 180 days + 25,000 thermal cycles. Adhesive luting was performed onto glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin discs (Ø = 10 mm; thickness = 2 mm) and the bonded assemblies were subjected to cyclic fatigue tests: initial load = 200 N; step-size = 25 N (FEL) and 50 N (LD); 10,000 cycles/step; 20 Hz. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) inspections were performed. Regarding the LD ceramic, the fatigue behavior was reduced after aging for HF_HIGH and E&P_LOW conditions, while stable performance was observed for HF_LOW and E&P_HIGH. Regarding the FEL results, aging negatively affected HF_HIGH, E&P_HIGH, and E&P_LOW, being that only the HF_LOW condition presented a stable behavior. The failure initiated from defects on the etched surface of the ceramics, where the cross-sectional analysis commonly revealed unfilled areas. Long-term aging might induce a decrease in mechanical behavior. The 'ceramic microstructure/surface conditioning/resin cement viscosity relationships' modulate the fatigue performance of lithium disilicate and feldspathic glass-ceramics.

Longevity of metal-ceramic single crowns cemented onto resin composite prosthetic cores with self-adhesive resin cement: an update of a prospective analysis with up to 106 months of follow-up. Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:1071-1078. [PMID: 36030454 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04693-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the longevity of metal-ceramic single crowns cemented onto resin composite prosthetic cores using a self-adhesive resin cement in a prospective clinical descriptive study. METHODS A total of 152 teeth were endodontically treated and received resin composite prosthetic cores and metal-ceramic crowns cemented with a self-adhesive resin cement. The patients included in the sample were recalled for clinical and radiography evaluation in an up-to-106-month period after the final cementation procedures, with an average of 62 months of follow-up. 91.5% of the sample (142 teeth) were evaluated regarding the treatment survival rate, analyzed considering the loss of crown retention (crown debonding) and tooth loss as the primary outcome. In addition, post debonding, and root fracture occurrences were also recorded as secondary outcomes to evaluate the success rate of the prosthetic treatment. The aesthetic parameters were also evaluated according to the FDI criteria. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression with 95% confidence interval were applied for the statistical analysis. RESULTS Regarding the primary outcome, the metal-ceramic crowns cemented with self-adhesive resin cement presented a high survival rate (91.5%), with 8 crown debondings and 3 tooth losses (1 due to caries and 2 due to periodontal disease) occurring after the evaluation period. For secondary outcomes, 9 root fractures and 4 post debondings occurred, generating a success rate of 72%. All crowns had a score 1 on the FDI criteria, indicating that they were clinically excellent or very good regarding the aesthetic parameters. CONCLUSION The metal-ceramic crowns luted with a self-adhesive resin cement presented a survival rate of 91.5% after an average of 62 months of follow-up. Furthermore, the restorations remained aesthetically satisfactory over time, without changes that would indicate prosthetic retreatment. A success rate of 72% was obtained considering the secondary outcome, mainly related to intraradicular retainer failures (root fractures or post debonding). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The self-adhesive resin cement is clinically indicated for cementation of metal-ceramic crowns onto resin composite prosthetic cores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the fit of zirconia veneers made by either 3D printing or milling. METHODS A typodont maxillary central incisor was prepared for a 0.5-mm-thick veneer and was reproduced 36 times from resin. Restorations were designed with a 20-µm-wide marginal and a 60-µm-wide internal cement gap, and were made from 3D-printed zirconia (LithaCon 3Y 210, Lithoz, n = 24) and milled zirconia (Cercon ht, DentsplySirona, n = 12). For milled zirconia, a drill compensation was needed to give the milling bur access to the intaglio surface. The restorations were cemented, cross-sectioned, and the cement gap size was analyzed by two raters. Inter-rater reliability was studied at 12 3D-printed veneers (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC, mixed model, absolute agreement). Twelve remaining 3D-printed restorations were compared with 12 milled restorations regarding fit at three locations: marginally, labially, and at the incisal edge (Mann-Whitney U-tests, α<0.05). RESULTS Inter-rater reliability was excellent, with an ICC single-measure coefficient of 0.944 (95%-confidence interval: [0.907; 0.966]). Gap sizes (mean ± SD / maximum) were 55 ± 9 / 143 µm at the margins, 68 ± 14 / 130 µm labially, and 78 ± 19 / 176 µm at the incisor edge for 3D-printed veneers. For milled veneers, gap sizes were 44 ± 11 / 141 µm at the margins, 85 ± 19 / 171 µm labially, and 391 ± 26 / 477 µm at the incisor edge. At the margins, the milled veneers outperformed the 3D-printed restorations (p = 0.011). The cement gap at the incisor edge was significantly smaller after 3D printing (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS 3D-printed zirconia restorations showed clinically acceptable mean marginal gaps below 100 µm. Because drill compensation could be omitted with 3D printing, the fit at the sharp incisal edge was significantly tighter than with milling. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The fit of 3D-printed ceramic anterior restorations meets clinical standards. In addition, 3D printing is associated with a greater geometrical freedom than milling. With regard to fit this feature allows tighter adaptation even after minimally invasive preparation.

Weak adhesion between ceramic and resin cement impairs the load-bearing capacity under fatigue of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic crowns. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 138:105604. [PMID: 36509013 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105604] [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: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the fatigue behavior of lithium disilicate crowns with a simplified anatomy against progressive cement/ceramic debonding scenarios. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lithium disilicate crowns were fabricated via CAD/CAM and luted onto a dentin analogue material using resin cement following the manufacturer's instructions. Then, the different crown regions were isolated with paraffin oil for the absence of chemical adhesion according to four experimental groups (n = 15): Shoulder; Shoulder + Axial; Fully isolated; and Control (no insulation/fully bonded). Load to failure tests (n = 3) were run to determine cyclic fatigue parameters, and the specimens were subsequently submitted to a cyclic fatigue test (n = 12) (initial load 200 N for 5000 cycles, step 100 N, 15,000 cycles/step, frequency 20 Hz) until cracks were observed, and later fracture. The data were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier + Mantel-Cox post-hoc tests for both outcomes (cracks and fracture). Fractographic, cross-sectional surface, and finite element (FEA) analyzes were performed. RESULTS When it comes to crack occurrence when the chemical adhesion to the occlusal surface is compromised, there is worsening (p < 0.05) in fatigue behavior compared to groups where the occlusal portion of the crown is still bonded. Considering fracture occurrence, there was no difference (p > 0.05) among the tested groups. All cracks occurred in the occlusal portion, first as a radial crack at the ceramic intaglio surface, and posteriorly unleashing a Hertzian cone crack at the top surface, resulting in fractures on the frontal walls. The interface analysis showed no interference of the insulating agent. FEA showed that as the isolated areas increased, there was also an increase in both tensile and shear stresses concentration in the crown and in the cement layer. CONCLUSION The chemical adhesion between cement and ceramic is essential for better fatigue behavior of lithium disilicate crowns with a simplified anatomy, especially in the occlusal portion, but the restoration performance is impaired when such adhesion is compromised. There is an increase in crown and cement stress concentration with the progressive loss of chemical bonding of the crown's walls.

[PMID: 36549251 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The characteristics of dental ceramics have been extensively studied over the years to provide highly qualified materials for use in prosthetic restorations. The ability to adhere to dental substrates, outstanding aesthetics (translucency, color, and substrate masking ability) and improved mechanical properties provide these materials with optical features and high strength to withstand masticatory stimuli. Different classifications are adopted, and it is generally considered that glass-ceramics have better optical characteristics due to the high glass content, and polycrystalline ceramics have superior strength favored by their densified and organized crystals, hampering crack growth. This knowledge was largely built-up during years of scientific research through different testing methodologies, but mainly employing static loads. It is important to not only take into account the intensity of loads that these materials will be exposed to, but also the effect of the intermittence of cyclic load application leading to mechanical fatigue and the influence of factors related to the crack origin and their propagation under this condition. Furthermore, the bonding surface of ceramic restorations requires surface treatments that improve the bond strength to luting agents; however, these treatments require caution because of their potential to produce defects and affect the structural behavior. Moreover, ceramic restorations often require internal adjustments for proper seating or external adjustments for fitting the occlusal contact with the antagonist. In this sense, finishing/polishing protocols may alter the defect population, as luting agents may also interact by filling in the superficial defects on the restoration intaglio surface. Thus, the balance among all these factors will define the performance of a restorative setup, as well as the posterior exposure to the humid environment and the masticatory stimuli (cyclical loading), which may favor developing slow and subcritical growth of cracks in ceramic materials and the degradation of the bond interface. Therefore, it is essential that the concepts which explain the fatigue mechanism are understood, as well as the crack propagation and failure patterns of restorative ceramic materials.

Meister J, Kaschuba N, Romer M, Bourauel C. Influence of Cementation on the Aesthetical Appearance of Full-Ceramic Restorations. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:1236. [PMID: 36770241 PMCID: PMC9919653 DOI: 10.3390/ma16031236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The use of dental ceramics as restorative materials requires corresponding luting materials (cements) that, in turn, influence the visual appearance of the restoration. Due to the high light transmission through the ceramics, the cements can affect the color perception of the dental restoration. This study aims to investigate the optical effects of various cements on the visual appearance of full-ceramic restorations. Three fixing polymer resins (Bifix SE (VOCO GmbH, Cuxhafen, Germany), BreezeTM (Pentron Clinical, West Collins Orange, CA, USA), and PanaviaTM F. 2.0 (Kuraray, Noritake, Osaka, Japan)), with layer thicknesses of 50, 100, 200, and 250 µm, were applied onto a ceramic base model (0.4 mm thick), and irradiated with laser light of wavelengths 532, 632.8, and 1064 nm. Light intensities and scattering effects of light of various wavelengths were angle-dependent, analyzed using a goniophotometer with perpendicular light incidence on the sample specimen (base model plus luting material). In addition, the transmitted power of the light through the sample specimen was determined as a function of the layer thickness. With increasing layer thickness, power losses of respectively 30% for Bifix SE and BreezeTM in the visible spectral range were comparable, whereas PanaviaTM F. 2.0 showed a power loss of ca. 44% here. For the near-infrared range, the power losses for all cements were 25%. This could be confirmed by the interpretation of the line widths. Moreover, the line widths for thin cement layer thicknesses (50 and 100 µm) in the visible spectral range displayed only a redistribution of light by scattering, which does not affect color perception at all. In addition, at 200 and 250 µm, absorption occurred which causes a change in color perception. Within the scope of this study, it could be shown that for thin-layer thicknesses of the cement applied here, there is no adverse optical effect on the aesthetic visual appearance of the restoration.

Marginal and Internal Fit of Monolithic Zirconia Crowns Fabricated by Using Two Different CAD-CAM Workflows: An In Vitro Study. PROSTHESIS 2023.

Abstract
Objectives: Few studies have evaluated the marginal fit of computer-aided design—computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated through completely digital workflow; however, the internal fit of these restorations is not well known. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by using digital workflow, including intraoral scanner (IOS) scans, and compare the results to those of a semi-digital workflow, which combined conventional impressions, poured casts, and extraoral scanner (EOS) scanning. Materials and methods: A typodont right mandibular first molar was prepared for a complete-coverage ceramic crown and scanned using an IOS. The conventional impressions of the preparation were also made, and stone casts were poured and scanned by using an EOS. Virtual models were generated for both workflows, and identical virtual anatomic contour crowns were designed using CAD software. Monolithic zirconia crowns were fabricated for both IOS (ZI; n = 10) and EOS (ZE; n = 10) groups. The silicon replica technique was used to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of the crowns. Measurements were made at 13 points on buccolingual and mesiodistal cross-sections per specimen with a ×6.5 to ×50 zoom stereo microscope. The results from both groups were statistically compared using the Independent Samples t-tests and the Mann–Whitney U test (α = 0.05). Results: Mean gap values at all measurement locations for ZE were significantly higher than those for ZI (p ≤ 0.002). Overall mean values ranged between 29 and 43 µm (median: 28–42 µm) for ZI and 42 and 75 µm (median: 43–77 µm) for ZE. Conclusion: Completely digital workflow through intraoral scans provided significantly better marginal and internal fit for CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crowns compared with the semi-digital workflow, where stone casts obtained from conventional impressions were scanned with an EOS. Yet, both workflows provided an acceptable marginal and internal fit for CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia molar crowns (<120 µm). Clinical Relevance: Completely digital workflow using IOS scans may be advantageous for the fabrication of CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crowns as favorable results can be obtained with less material waste and potentially shortened overall treatment time as the impression files can be transferred to the production facility electronically. The results need to be corroborated with clinical studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the marginal and internal misfit of endocrowns fabricated from a resin matrix ceramic (CS), a partially crystallized (EMC), and a fully crystallized (ILS) lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. METHODS AND MATERIALS Thirty human premolar teeth restored with endocrowns were investigated. Three CAD/CAM materials were used (n=10 per group): CS, EMC, and ILS. Two-dimensional (2D) analysis of marginal and internal misfit was performed on micro-computed tomography scans before and after adhesive bonding. Further, three-dimensional (3D) analysis was performed to determine the total internal volume discrepancy. Surface roughness of the fitting surfaces of endocrowns was characterized using optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Adhesive bonding did not significantly affect marginal or internal misfit (p≥0.093). Differences in marginal misfit among the experimental groups were not statistically significant (p≥0.221). However, differences in 2D internal misfit were statistically significant; the CS group exhibited the largest internal misfit (p=0.001), while no significant difference was found between other groups (p=0.123). The largest discrepancies were observed at the pulpal floor and cervical region of all investigated specimens. No statistically significant difference was found in 3D misfit between ILS and EMC groups (p=0.711); however both exhibited statistically lower 3D misfit values compared to the CS group (p≤0.037). ILS endocrowns exhibited the smoothest and most homogenous fitting surface profile (p<0.001). However, there was no significant correlation between 2D internal misfit and the surface roughness (p≥0.082). CONCLUSIONS The choice of CAD/CAM material may influence the fitting accuracy of endocrowns. The investigated lithium disilicate glass-ceramics conferred superior internal fit for endocrowns compared to resin matrix ceramic.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the influence of two different cement space settings and two different cement types on the stress distribution under occlusal surfaces of tooth restored with two different types of crowns and studied by using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight 3D finite element models (FEMs) representing a mandibular first molar tooth restored with crowns of, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) and porcelain-fused-to-zirconia (PFZ) crowns with two cement space settings (50 and 80 µm) and with two different types of cement were constructed, using an FEA software (ANSYS, version 10). Each model was subjected to a distributed load simulating normal masticatory bite force of 225 N and was applied axial direction. Also, von Mises stress of each individual part in the system of models was calculated. RESULTS The PFM crowns undergo less stress distribution than the PFZ crowns. The PFM crowns are more compatible with self-adhesive cements, and the PFZ crowns are more compatible with resin-modified glass ionomer cements. CONCLUSION The PFM crowns with G-Cem Link Ace with 50 µm and PFZ crowns with RelyX Luting Plus with 80 µm combinations displayed less amount of stress distribution under normal masticatory bite force. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Self-adhesive resin cements with PFM crowns and PFZ with resin-modified glass ionomer cements show more benefits in stress distribution under occlusal surfaces under normal masticatory bite force.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a growing interest in using pre-heated composites instead of dual-cured cements when luting indirect restorations. This study evaluated the film thickness obtained from two pre-heated composites and two resin cements, by two different operators. The influence of the materials and the level of expertise of the operator were analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty specimens of human dentin and composite discs were prepared and divided into four groups depending on the luting process. Each group was randomly equally divided to be handled by two operators with different levels of experience. Two of the initial four groups were luted using dual-cured cements and the two remaining groups using light-cured pre-heated composites. Specimen discs were cut after luting, and film thickness was measured using a Digital microscope. Data were analyzed using a 2-way ANOVA with the Holm-Sidak pairwise multiple comparison procedure (p < 0.05). RESULTS Mean film thickness ranged from 156.16 ± 4.7 to 33.82 ± 0.7 μm. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were noticed between expert and novice results with pre-heated composites. CONCLUSION Within the limits of this study, using pre-heated composites as a luting cement requires a better level of expertise to achieve a clinically acceptable film thickness. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Using pre-heated composites as luting agent for indirect restorations requires an experimented skill level to achieve a clinically recommended film thickness.

Abstract
A dental luting material aids in the retention and stability of indirect restorations on the prepared tooth structure. In dentistry, clinicians are using a wide range of luting materials for the cementation of indirect restorations. Zinc oxide eugenol and non-eugenol cements, zinc phosphate cement, zinc polycarboxylate cement, glass ionomer cement and resin cements are common dental cements used in dentistry. Each luting material or cement possesses unique properties and clinical implications. An ideal luting cement should be biocompatible, insoluble, resistant to thermal and chemical assaults, antibacterial, aesthetic, simple and easy to use. It should have high strength properties under tension, shear and compression to resist stress at the restoration-tooth interface, as well as adequate working and setting times. So far, no luting material possesses all of these properties of an ideal cement. Scientists have been modifying the conventional luting cements to improve the material's clinical performance and developing novel materials for clinical use. To achieve the best clinical outcome, clinicians should update their knowledge and gain a good understanding of the luting materials so that they can make a wise clinical decision on the material selection and obtain an insight into the development of luting cements. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide a discussion on the physical, chemical, adhesive and aesthetic properties of common luting materials. The clinical indications of these luting materials are suggested based on their properties. In addition, overviews of the modification of the conventional luting materials and the newly developed luting materials are provided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether an adhesive application after surface treatment on a lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) has an influence on its load-bearing capacity under fatigue. METHODS LD discs (Ø= 10 mm; thickness= 1 mm) were allocated into 8 groups (n= 15), considering 3 factors: "ceramic surface treatment" - HF: hydrofluoric acid + universal primer application; or MEP: single-component ceramic primer; "adhesive application" - with or without; and "aging protocol" - baseline: 24 h to 7 days; or aging: 180 days of storage + 25,000 thermal cycles. The LD discs were adhesively bonded to glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin discs (Ø= 10 mm; thickness= 2 mm) and stored according to the condition and each group. Cyclic fatigue testing (initial load= 100 N; step size= 100 N until600 N and after step size= 25 N to failure; 10,000 cycles/step; 20 Hz frequency) was performed. Fractographic and adhesive interface analyzes were also performed. The collected data were then analyzed by Kaplan Meier and Mantel-Cox tests and One-way ANOVA. RESULTS The adhesive application in the baseline condition had no influence on the load-bearing capacity under fatigue when the HF surface treatment was performed, however, adhesive application for the MEP treatment led to worse results than without it. The adhesive application in the aged condition showed worse fatigue outcomes for both treatments. All specimens presented radial cracks. MEP treatment followed by adhesive application presented the thickest luting layer. CONCLUSION The adhesive application after surface treatments of a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic is detrimental to its load-bearing capacity under fatigue when adhesively luted onto a supporting substrate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prefabricated fibreglass crowns (PFCs) require less tooth structure reduction than prefabricated zirconium crowns (PZCs) for restoring primary molars. Little is known, however, about their mechanical properties. AIM To investigate the fatigue survival and fracture resistance of PZCs and PFCs cemented with two different types of luting cement [glass-ionomer cement (GIC) and resin-modified GIC (RMGIC)]. DESIGN One hundred and twenty extracted human primary molars were randomly divided into subgroups (n = 15) according to the crown type (PFCs/PZCs), the luting cement (GIC/RMGIC) and crowns subjected to the chewing simulation test with thermocycling mechanical loading (CSTTML). The surfaces of the teeth were reduced by approximately 2 mm in the PZC group and 1 mm in the PFC group. All the samples were subjected to fracture tests. RESULTS None of the samples subjected to CSTTML exhibited signs of surface damage, fracture or premature debonding. The forces required to fracture PFCs were higher than those required for PZCs in all groups (p = .001). The highest mean fracture resistance values were obtained from the group of PFCs cemented with GIC that were subjected to the CSTTML (2515.8 N ± 619.2 N). CONCLUSIONS PFCs presented high fatigue survival and could be used as alternatives to PZCs as they require less tooth structure reduction. Crowns cemented with GIC had a similar fracture resistance value when compared with RMGIC.

Does adhesive luting promote improved fatigue performance of lithium disilicate simplified crowns? J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2022; 134:105373.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the influence of adhesive luting on the fatigue mechanical properties of simplified lithium disilicate crowns luted to dentin analogues preparations, and to compare two different approaches of simulation of a non-adhesive luting procedure. To this end, 30 prosthetic preparations of glass fiber-filled epoxy resin used as dentin analogues were milled and lithium disilicate crowns were pressed (1.5 mm thickness), which were allocated into three different groups: resin cement (RC), resin cement isolated by paraffin oil (RCI) and zinc phosphate cement (ZP). For luting procedures, the ceramic crowns of the RC and RCI groups had their internal surface treated with 5% hydrofluoric acid and universal primer. Afterwards, a thin layer of paraffin oil was applied onto the ceramic crown intaglio surface in the RCI group. The dentin analogues were treated with 10% hydrofluoric acid, followed by primer application and luting as recommended by the manufacturer. No previous surface treatments were performed for the ZP group, and the cement was applied as recommended. The fatigue test was run under cyclic fatigue (load 400-2000 N, step-size 100 N, 15,000 cycles/step, frequency 20 Hz) until failure detection (radial crack) by transillumination. The fatigue failure load (FFL), number of cycles until failure (CFF), and survival rate in each testing step were recorded. The RC group presented a higher FFL, CFF and survival rate compared to the other groups (p < 0.001), which were statistically equal to each other (p > 0.05). Weibull analysis detected no difference between groups for the Weibull module. Therefore, loss of adhesion between the evaluated substrates induces a significant reduction in load-bearing capacity under fatigue of the lithium disilicate crowns, strengthening the strong-importance of long-lasting adhesion for crown's survival. In addition, different methods for the simulation of non-adhesive conditions induce the same performance in the explored outcomes, confirming that both are valid approaches for laboratory studies.

MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-six (126) pairs of resin discs were randomly assigned to six experimental groups (n = 21) according to luting agent (Variolink Esthetic LC, IPS Empress Direct or Estelite Omega) and cementation technique (preheating at 68°C and/or ultrasonic vibration). Specimens were luted by applying a controlled force. Following sectioning and film thickness measurement through field emission gun scanning electron microscopy, statistical analysis was carried out considering a 5% significance level. RESULTS Statistically significant lower film thickness was observed in Variolink Esthetic LC group when compared to all composite resin groups (p < 0.001), except IPS Empress Direct preheated and ultrasonically vibrated group (p = 0.073). IPS Empress Direct with ultrasonic vibration yielded statistically lower film thickness values than Estelite Omega groups, regardless of luting technique (p < 0.05). Ultrasonically vibrated Estelite Omega groups showed statistically lower film thickness values than solely preheated groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both Variolink Esthetic LC and IPS Empress Direct preheated and ultrasonically vibrated provided the lowest film thickness. The addition of ultrasonic vibration during cementation proved to be effective in reducing film thickness of both tested composite resins. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The cementation technique will have variable results depending on the luting material. Adhesive cementation protocols with composite resins should mainly consider ultrasonic vibration, but also preheating, as strategies for reducing film thickness. The tested resin cement, alongside with IPS Empress Direct composite resin preheated and ultrasonically vibrated, provided the lowest film thickness among the tested materials and techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stainless steel crowns (SSCs), which have been used frequently in the treatment of first permanent molars in children until now, has become less applicable due to its poor aesthetic appearance. Zirconia crowns (ZCs) have become more popular due to their aesthetic advantage. However, stress transmission of ZCs to dental tissues under occlusal forces in endodontically treated teeth has not been described. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the stress distribution of different crown materials (ZCS, SSCs) and adhesive materials on dentin in endodontically treated permanent teeth and to specify the crown-adhesive model with lower stress. METHODS: Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to apply a force of 300 N from the inner part of the buccal tubercles (vertical loading) and a lingo-buccal at an angle of 30 degrees (oblique loading) of the first permanent molars (FPM) with different crown (ZCS, SSCs) and adhesive (Glass ionomer cement, Resin modified glass ionomer cement, Resin cement) materials in twelve separate models. The von Mises values obtained from the models were compared and the optimal stress values were determined by FEA. RESULTS: The lowest stress values of dentin were found in zirconia crown model with glass ionomer cement (GIC) adhesive under vertical loading (26,793 Mpa). In the zircon crown and GIC adhesive model, less von Mises stress occurred on the dentin under all conditions. CONCLUSIONS: ZCs and GIC adhesive may be recommended for teeth with a high probability of dentin fracture.

Abstract
Although the effects of different intraoral scanners, model scanners, and CAM units on the marginal and internal fitting of restorations have been investigated, the effects of CAD software in particular has not been evaluated. The marginal and internal fit of indirect restorations may vary according to the CAD software used, even when using the same intraoral scanner and milling machine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of milled full ceramic crowns designed with three different CAD systems. Eleven typodont maxillary first premolar teeth were prepared and scanned using a 3Shape TRIOS Intraoral Dental Scanner. The obtained STL scan data were exported and used to design a full crown using three different CAD systems (CEREC, KaVo, and Planmeca). An independent milling unit was used to manufacture the crowns for each group (n = 11). The marginal and internal fit were evaluated for each restoration using 2D and 3D micro-CT analysis. For 2D analysis, 18 measurements for each sample were made, covering the marginal (Marginal Gap Buccal (MG-A), Marginal Gap Palatinal (MG-B), Finish Line Buccal (FL-A), Finish Line Palatinal (FA-B)) and internal fit locations (Axial Wall Buccal (AW-A), Axial Wall Palatinal (AW-B), Lingual Cusp (LC), Buccal Cusp (BC), and Occlusal Central Fossa (OCF)). Statistical analyses were performed using Open Source R Statistical Software (α = 0.05) The results of Duncan's multiple range test showed that the values for the marginal measurement points MG-A, MG-B, FL-A, and FL-B in the Planmeca group were significantly higher than the values obtained in the CEREC and KaVo groups (p < 0.05). In AW1, values of the CEREC group were found to be higher than those of the KaVo and Planmeca groups (p < 0.05). CAD software showed an effect on the marginal fit values of crowns whereas no significant difference was observed in terms of the internal fit, except for a single measurement point made from the buccal direction.

Abstract
Surface etching before cementation is a vital step that determines the clinical performance of ceramic restorations. Etching alters surface topography that contributes effective bonding between ceramic restoration and resin cement. This study aimed to compare etching techniques to determine the most effective etching method contributing the highest bond strength that helps in improving dental implants. Materials and methods: sixty discs of feldspathic ceramic measuring 10 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness were prepared. The 60 samples were divided into four equal groups based on the surface treatment technique used: group A: 9.6% hydrofluoric acid; group B: coarse diamond burs; group C: CO2 laser; and group D: no treatment. Ceramic disc specimens were examined under a Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) after surface treatment to characterize their surface morphology. Further, the specimens were luted with a resin luting agent and incubated for 24 h at a temperature of 37 °C simulating the oral environment. After 24 h, shear bond strength (SBS) and the nature of bond failure was determined for each specimen using a universal Instron testing machine. Results: significant change in surface morphology was noticed on hydrofluoric acid treatment forming larger irregular roughness (4.83 ± 1.78 µm) with multiple patterns of grooves and pores compared to other groups. Further, the highest SBS value was measured on hydrofluoric acid etching that display the highest bond strength due to the high surface roughness. In conclusion, our findings report a strong association between the surface roughness and bond strength upon hydrofluoric acid compared to other methods. Further work in this direction will enhance the utility of the etching technique on the improvement of dental implants.

Abstract
Objectives:The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of ceramic surface pretreatment, effect of resin cement and dentin surface roughness on shear bond strength. Methodology: Zirconia rods (n = 140) were randomly assigned to air born particle abrasion with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) or hot etching with potassium hydrogen difluoride (KHF2). Lithium disilicate rods (LDS; n = 50) etched with hydrofluoric acid served as reference material. In Part 1 of the study, ceramic rods were cemented to bovine dentin using 5 dual-polymerizing resin cements (Variolink Esthetic, Multilink Automix (Ivoclar Vivadent), Duo-Link (BISCO Dental), Panavia F2.0 (Kuraray Dental), RelyX Unicem (3 M)). Shear bond strength was tested and fracture morphology determined. In Part 2 of the study, test groups with the highest frequency of adhesive fractures between cement and dentin were selected for further bond strength testing with different surface roughness of dentin; ground with P1200 or P80 silicon carbide paper. Dentin samples were fractured vertically to the cemented surface and the adherence between cement and dentin was studied. Results: The results of Part 1 showed that hot etching of zirconia significantly improved bond strength to Duo-Link cement. In Part 2, RelyX Unicem showed significantly higher bond strength to P1200 compared to P80 ground dentin. For Variolink Esthetic, bond strengths to P1200 and P80 ground dentin were similar. Adhesive fracture between cement and dentin dominated. Conclusions: A smooth dentin surface (P1200) improved bond strength to RelyX Unicem. Surface roughness was not important for Variolink Esthetic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the three-dimensional (3D) changes of three elastomeric impression materials using a novel measurement method for the first 24 hours after preparation. METHODS AND MATERIALS Three impression materials consisting of a low-viscosity polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) (Aquasil LV, Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA) and two vinyl polyether silicone (VPES) materials consisting of a light body (EXA'lence LB, GC America, Alsip, IL, USA) and monophase (EXA'lence Monophase, GC America) materials were used in this study. All materials were prepared following manufacturer's recommendations with approximately 1-2 millimeters of material placed on the measurement pedestal of a calibrated noncontact, video imaging based, volumetric change measuring device (AcuVol ver 2.5.9, Bisco, Schaumburg, IL, USA). Data collection was initiated immediately, with measurements made every 30 seconds for 24 hours. Each material was evaluated 10 times (n=10). Evaluated parameters included were 24-hour mean shrinkage, mean shrinkage at time of recommended first pour, mean shrinkage between recommended first pour and 24 hours, mean maximum shrinkage, and the time of maximum shrinkage. Mean data, both within and between each group, was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn's tests at a 95% level of confidence (α=0.05). RESULTS All three materials were found to have significant differences (p<0.001) in volumetric shrinkage over 24 hours. Aquasil LV and EXA'lence LB polymerization shrinkage rates were statistically similar all through the 24-hour evaluation (p=0.92). All three materials demonstrated similar (p=0.19) shrinkage between 10 and 15 minutes after preparation, while between 5 and 16 hours both EXA'lence Monophase and low-viscosity materials demonstrated similar polymerization shrinkage values (p=0.22). EXA'lence Monophase demonstrated significantly greater 24-hour mean shrinkage (p<0.008) as well as shrinkage between recommended first pour time and 24 hours (p=0.003) than Aquasil LV and EXA'lence LB. EXA'lence Monophase demonstrated significantly greater (p=0.002) shrinkage at the recommended time of first pour as compared to Aquasil LV and EXA'lence LB that displayed similar shrinkage (p=0.89). Furthermore, all materials demonstrated increasing polymerization shrinkage values that reached a maximum between 16 for Aquasil LV and 20 hours for EXA'lence LB, after which some relaxation behavior was observed. However, EXA'lence Monophase did not display any relaxation behavior over the 24-hour evaluation. CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this study, volumetric polymerization shrinkage was observed for one polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) and two vinyl polyether silicone (VPES) materials for up to 24 hours. All impression materials exhibited fast early volumetric shrinkage that continued past the manufacturer's recommended removal time. Dimensional change behavior was not uniform within or between groups; resultant volume change between the manufacturer recommended pouring time and 24 hours might represent up to from 20% to 30% of the total material shrinkage. It may be prudent to pour elastomeric impressions at the earliest time possible following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Is the application of a silane-based coupling agent necessary to stabilize the fatigue performance of bonded simplified lithium disilicate restorations? J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 126:104989. [PMID: 34864398 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of ceramic surface conditioning and storage regimen (baseline vs. aging) on the fatigue performance of simplified lithium disilicate glass-ceramic restorations. A total of 90 ceramic discs (Ø= 10 mm; thickness= 1.0 mm) were allocated into 6 groups (n= 15), considering 2 factors: "ceramic surface treatment" - CA (only silane-based coupling agent, Monobond N), HF (5% hydrofluoric acid etching), or HF+CA (5% HF acid etching plus silane-based coupling agent); and "storage regimen" - baseline (24 hours - 5 days of distilled water at 37 °C), or long-term aging (180 days of distilled water at 37 °C + 25,000 thermal cycles). After intaglio ceramic conditioning, adhesive bonding (Multilink N) was performed onto epoxy resin discs (Ø= 10 mm; thickness= 2.5 mm) and the bonded sets were subjected to step-stress fatigue tests (initial load: 200 N; step-size: 50 N; 10,000 cycles per step; 20 Hz). Fatigue data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Weibull statistical analyses. Fractography and topography analyses were also conducted. The fatigue findings demonstrated that the performance among groups for both baseline and aging conditions maintained a tendency: the CA groups had the worst behavior (baseline: 893 N/143,667 cycles; aging: 639 N/84,179 cycles), while the surface etching with HF (baseline: 1247 N/214,333 cycles; aging: 816.67 N/128,333 cycles) and HF+CA groups (baseline: 1290 N/222,333 cycles; aging: 900 N/145,000 cycles) had no statistically significant difference between them. The aging protocol reduced the performance of all groups. The groups with better fatigue performance (HF and HF+CA) did not have statistical differences regarding structural reliability (Weibull modulus). Most failures were radial cracks from the cementation interface, except for CA aging specimens, with 27% failing from debonding. The HF etching led to noteworthy surface topographical alterations. Micromechanical interlocking resulting from HF acid etching remained prevalent in the fatigue behavior. Thus, the silane-based coupling agent (Monobond N) does not need to be applied after HF etching in terms of fatigue behavior outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the quality of posterior teeth prepared for monolithic zirconia crowns. Materials and Methods: A total of 392 STL-files of posterior preparations for monolithic zirconia crowns were evaluated in this study. Three-dimensional (3D) images were evaluated using a software (3D Viewer; 3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) for finish line design, finish line width, occluso-cervical dimension, total occlusal convergence (TOC), intercuspal angulation, finish line quality, line angle form, and presence or absence of undercut at the axial wall and unsupported lip of enamel. The assessment was performed by two calibrated evaluators. Then, data were descriptively analyzed. Data for occluso-cervical dimension and TOC were descriptively analyzed according to their location. Results: Thirty-nine percent of premolars, 77% of first molars, and 91% of second molars had an average occluso-cervical dimension of less than 3 mm (premolars) and 4 mm (molars), with most of the preparations having a TOC of more than 20 degrees. More than 50% of preparations had undercut, unsupported enamel and/or unacceptable finish line quality. Conclusions: The quality of tooth preparation including finish line quality, absence of unsupported enamel and undercut at the axial wall should be evaluated when preparing monolithic zirconia crowns.

Effect of Cement Layer Thickness on the Immediate and Long-Term Bond Strength and Residual Stress between Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramic and Human Dentin. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14185153.

Abstract
This study tested whether three different cement layer thicknesses (60, 120 and 180 μm) would provide the same bonding capacity between adhesively luted lithium disilicate and human dentin. Ceramic blocks were cut to 20 blocks with a low-speed diamond saw under cooling water and were then cemented to human flat dentin with an adhesive protocol. The assembly was sectioned into 1 mm2 cross-section beams composed of ceramic/cement/dentin. Cement layer thickness was measured, and three groups were formed. Half of the samples were immediately tested to evaluate the short-term bond strength and the other half were submitted to an aging simulation. The microtensile test was performed in a universal testing machine, and the bond strength (MPa) was calculated. The fractured specimens were examined under stereomicroscopy. Applying the finite element method, the residual stress of polymerization shrinkage according to cement layer thickness was also calculated using first principal stress as analysis criteria. Kruskal–Wallis tests showed that the ‘‘cement layer thickness’’ factor significantly influenced the bond strength results for the aged samples (p = 0.028); however, no statistically significant difference was found between the immediately tested groups (p = 0.569). The higher the cement layer thickness, the higher the residual stress generated at the adhesive interface due to cement polymerization shrinkage. In conclusion, the cement layer thickness does not affect the immediate bond strength in lithium disilicate restorations; however, thinner cement layers are most stable in the short term, showing constant bond strength and lower residual stress.

Micro-CT and Microscopy Study of Internal and Marginal Gap to Tooth Surface of Crenelated versus Conventional Dental Indirect Veneers. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57080772. [PMID: 34440981 PMCID: PMC8400834 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57080772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Ceramic veneers represent the most appropriate treatment option for minimally invasive aesthetic rehabilitation. For long-term clinical success, the accurate marginal and internal adaptation of dental restorations are of paramount importance. The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the effect of a novel (patented) design of veneers compared to conventional ones on their marginal and internal gap to the prepared tooth surface. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four lithium disilicate ceramic veneers are obtained using Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and then milled using Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). The samples are divided into two groups: 12 conventional (CO) veneers (i.e., with a linear marginal contour) and 12 crenelated (CR) veneers, the latter with the novel sinusoidal marginal design. All samples are bonded to frontal teeth, and the adhesive interfaces are analyzed using two methods, optical microscopy and micro-Computed Tomography (CT): the former for the accuracy of the marginal gap and the latter for the internal gap (as well as for the homogeneity of the luting cement) of ceramic veneers. Results: STATA and one-way ANOVA tests reveal significant differences between CO and CR veneers: (i) the marginal gap is smaller for CR (64 μm) than for CO veneers (236 μm); (ii) the internal adaptation is better for CR veneers: for a cement width of up to 120 μm, the covered surface for the CR group is 81.5%, while for the CO group it is 64.5%; (iii) the mean of the porosities within the cement is not significantly different (3.4·106 μm3 for CO and 3.9·106 μm3 for CR veneers), with a higher standard deviation for the CO group. Analytical modeling is achieved for internal gaps using the micro-CT results. The characteristic functions obtained allow us to compare the volume of luting cement for the two types of veneers. Conclusion: The novel veneers design produces an improvement in the marginal and internal adaptation of the restorations to the prepared tooth surface. Thus, it provides favorable premises for better clinical performances.

Effect of Die Spacer Thickness on the Microshear Bond Strength of CAD/CAM Lithium Disilicate Veneers. Int J Dent 2021; 2021:4593131. [PMID: 34335770 PMCID: PMC8324392 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4593131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to compare the microshear bond strength of ceramic veneers with digital die spacer settings at 20, 40, and 100 µm. Materials and Methods Eighteen milled lithium disilicate microdiscs (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) were divided into three groups (n = 6) according to their digital die spacer settings: group A = 20 µm, group B = 40 µm, and group C = 100 µm. Six randomly selected sound maxillary premolars received three microdiscs each. Each microdisc was 1 mm in diameter and 1 mm in height. The buccal surfaces of the premolars were prepared with a 0.5 mm depth in enamel. After cementation, the specimens were thermocycled for 2,500 cycles between 5 and 55°C. Microshear bond strength testing was performed using a universal testing machine until bonding failure. Failure modes were evaluated using a stereomicroscope. Statistical analyses included one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test, and chi-square test with a 5% alpha error and 80% study power. Results The mean microshear bond strength values were calculated in MPa for group A = 31.91 ± 12.41, group B = 29.58 ± 5.03, and group C = 13.85 ± 4.12. One-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05) showed a statistically significant difference in microshear bond strength among the three groups. Tukey's post hoc test showed significant differences between groups A and C (p=0.004) and between groups B and C (p=0.011). The failure modes were presented as cohesive, adhesive, and mixed failures. Chi-square test indicated that the failure mode distribution was not significantly different among the three groups (p=0.970). Conclusion Higher digital die spacer settings decrease the microshear bond strength of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate veneers.
