Dalla-Nora F, Da Rosa LS, Pereira GKR, Valandro LF, Rippe MP. Is dentin analogue material a viable substitute for human dentin in fatigue behavior studies? J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 150:106312. [PMID: 38134583 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106312] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the fatigue performance of a lithium disilicate ceramic cemented on different substrates (human dentin and glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin - GFRER), treated with different types of conditioning (CTR - without surface conditioning; HF5 - 5% hydrofluoric acid; HF10 - 10% hydrofluoric acid; H3PO4 - phosphoric acid 37%; SAND - sandblasting with aluminum oxide). The occlusal surface of human molars (DENT group) (n = 15) was ground for dentin exposure and the root portion was cut, then the dentin slice (2.0 mm thick) was conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid and a dual-curing dental adhesive was applied. The GFRER in a round-rod format was cut into discs (Ø = 10 mm, 2.0 mm thick). Lithium disilicate glass ceramic blocks (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were shaped into a cylinder format and cut, resulting in 90 discs (Ø = 10 mm, 1.5 mm thick). The substrate materials of each group were etched according to the groups and the ceramic was etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 30 s. A silane coupling agent was applied over the cementation surface in ceramic and GFRER surfaces and a dual cement was used for cementation (ceramic/GFRER or dentin). The disc/disc sets were submitted to thermocycling (25,000 cycles + storage for 6 months), and then tested in step-wise accelerated cyclic fatigue test. The failure pattern and topography were analyzed and the roughness and contact angle were measured before and after surface treatment. The DENT group presented the lowest load to failure values and number of cycles to failure in fatigue (637.33 N; 118.333), showing no statistical similarity with any of the other tested groups (p < 0.05). The topographic analysis showed that all proposed surface treatments modified the substrate surface when compared to the CTR group. All of the fractographical inspections demonstrated failure by radial crack. Considering the roughness analysis, the post-etched DENT group showed similar roughness to all groups of GFRER materials with their surface treated, except for SAND, which showed greater roughness and statistically different from the other groups. The DENT group (49.5) showed statistically different post-conditioning contact angle values from the HF10 group (96.5) and similar to the other groups. The glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin was not able to simulate the results presented by the human dentin substrate when cemented to lithium disilicate regarding fatigue failure load and number of cycles for failure, regardless of the surface treatment. Lithium disilicate cemented on dentin analogue overestimates the load values for fatigue failure.

Effect of abutment screw-access hole on the fatigue performance of implant-supported lithium-disilicate luted simplified restorations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 150:106254. [PMID: 38035645 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106254] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the existence of an abutment screw-access hole and the filling effects on the fatigue mechanical behavior of a luted lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic. Seventy-two discs (Ø = 10 mm, 1.0 mm in thickness) of lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar AG) were obtained from prefabricated blocks. Thirty-six abutment specimens of an opaque zirconia (Yz - IPS e.max ZirCAD, Ivoclar AG) and titanium (Ti - Luminesse Ti-Cam discs, Talladium Inc.) were confectioned, and allocated according to 6 groups: Yz and Ti rigid (without screw access hole); Yz unfilled, Yz filled, Ti unfilled and Ti filled (with the screw access (Ø = 2.5 mm) in the center). For the unfilled groups, only a polytetrafluoroethylene tape was used. Resin composite (Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar AG) was applied to the screw access hole for the filled groups (Yz and Ti). A cyclic fatigue test was carried out (load of 200 N, 10,000 cycles each; 20 Hz of frequency, step size of 100 N until failure detection (radial/cone crack). The fatigue failure load (FFL) and number of cycles until failure (CFF) were recorded for statistical purposes. The stress distribution (MPa) was evaluated by finite element analysis. A statistically positive effect of the abutment material and the presence of the screw access hole was observed (p ≤ 0.05). The rigid groups (without screw access holes) depicted almost 100% of survival after the fatigue tests. Among the other groups, the Yz-filled group showed the best performance (p ≤ 0.05), followed by the Yz unfilled group. The Ti groups depicted lower values of FFL and CFF, with the Ti unfilled group showing the most unfavorable fatigue behavior (p ≤ 0.05). The lowest tensile stress concentration in the restorative material was observed with the use of rigid abutments, the filled groups depicted intermediate values, while unfilled groups showed the highest stress concentration (Yz rigid = 306.3 MPa; Ti rigid = 310.4 MPa < Yz filled = 490.7 MPa; Ti filled = 498.9 MPa < Yz unfilled = 707.6 MPa; Ti unfilled = 719.7 MPa). Therefore, the presence of a screw-access hole decreases the mechanical performance of a lithium disilicate ceramic regardless of the abutment material. In the presence of a screw-access hole, zirconia abutments depicted a higher fatigue failure load when compared with titanium. The filling of the abutment screw-access hole with resin composite increased the mechanical performance of the simulated restoration.

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.

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.

Polishing the bonding surface, before or after crystallization, does not alter the fatigue behavior of bonded CAD-CAM lithium disilicate. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 142:105794.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess if the finishing/polishing of the bonding surface of lithium disilicate ceramic, prior to or after crystallization, would affect the fatigue behavior of a bonded restorations. For this, lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max CAD) discs (n = 15) were milled and randomly divided into 3 groups: CAD-CAM group which remained untouched; PRE group which received a finishing/polishing protocol (OptraFine system) prior to its crystallization; and POST group, which received the treatment after its crystallization. After surface treatments, ceramic and glass-fiber reinforced epoxy resin discs were paired and bonded using a resin cement (Multilink N). A cyclical fatigue test was conducted (frequency 20 Hz, initial load 200 N for 5000 cycles, step-size of 100 N for 10,000 cycles/step) until failure occurrence. Surface roughness and topography were analyzed. An initial descriptive analysis of surface roughness, FFL and CFF was performed to obtain the mean, standard deviation and confidence interval values (SPSS v. 21, SPSS Inc.) for statistical analysis. Roughness data was using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test (α = 0.05), while the fatigue data was submitted to survival analysis with Kaplan-Meier test (α = 0.05) and Weibull modulus (Weibull++, Reliasoft). Neither the finishing/polishing procedure of the bonding surface, nor the moment (prior to or after crystallization), affected the fatigue behavior of bonded milled lithium disilicate. There were also no differences for mechanical reliability among conditions. Despite this, finishing/polishing reduced surface roughness and led to smoother topography. Finishing/polishing the bonding surface of milled lithium disilicate, before or after crystallization, does not alter the fatigue behavior of the bonded restorative set, although there is some influence on roughness and topography.

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.

Abstract
Two damage regimes-"brittle" and "ductile"-have been identified in the literature on ceramic grinding, machining, grit blasting, and wear. In the brittle regime, the damage mechanism is essentially crack formation, while in the ductile region, it is quasiplasticity. Onset of the brittle mode poses the greater threat to strength, so it becomes important to understand the mechanics of ductile-brittle thresholds in these materials. Controlled microcontact tests with a sharp indenter are employed to establish such thresholds for a suite of contemporary computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing dental ceramics. Plots of flexural strength S versus indentation load P show a steep decline beyond the threshold, consistent with well-established contact mechanics relations. Threshold dimensions occur on a scale of order 1 µm and contact load of order 1 N, values pertinent to practical grit finishing protocols. The ductile side of ceramic shaping is accessed by reducing grit sizes, applied loads, and depths of cut below critical levels. It is advocated that critical conditions for ductile shaping may be most readily quantified on analogous S(P) plots, but with appropriate machining variable (grit size, depths of cut, infeed rate) replacing load P. Working in the ductile region offers the promise of compelling time and cost economies in prosthesis fabrication and preparation.

Abstract
This study compared the flexural strength under monotonic (static - sσ) and cyclic load application (fatigue - fσ), hardness (H) and fracture toughness (KIC) of different layers of a multi-layered zirconia (IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi, Ivoclar). Each layer was sectioned, classified into three groups according to yttria content (4-YSZ, 4/5-YSZ and 5-YSZ), and shaped on samples for flexural strength and fracture toughness tests (bars: 1.0 × 1.0 × 11 mm); and Vickers hardness test (plates: 1.5 × 4.0 × 5.0 mm). Flexural strength under monotonic load application (sσ; n = 10) was obtained through two different devices (three-point-bending and ball-in-hole device) and fatigue flexural strength (fσ; n = 15; initial load: 10 N; step-size: 5 N; 10,000 cycles/step) was assessed using a ball-in-hole device under cyclic load application. Vickers hardness test (n = 5), fracture toughness test (n = 10), and additional analyzes (Finite Element Analysis - FEA, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy - EDS and Scanning Electron Microscopy - SEM) were also performed. No differences were found between the different devices in the monotonic flexural strength test, and FEA showed similar tensile stress distribution for the two devices. 4-YSZ showed higher values of flexural strength under monotonic and cyclic load application modes (sσ = 1114.73 MPa; fσ = 798.84 MPa), and fracture toughness (KIC = 3.90 MPa√m). 4/5-YSZ had an intermediate sσ; however, fσ was similar to 5-YSZ (404.00-429.36 MPa) and KIC similar to 4-YSZ (KIC = 3.66 MPa√m). No statistical differences were found for hardness and Weibull modulus for fatigue flexural strength data. The amount of yttria in the layer compositions increased from 4-YSZ to 5-YSZ, and larger zirconia crystals were observed in the topographic images of 5-YSZ. Failures in the flexural strength and toughness tests started from the face subjected to tensile stress. Different layers of the multi-layered zirconia blank presented distinct mechanical properties. 4-YSZ (cervical layer) presented the highest flexural strength under monotonic and cyclic loads (fatigue), and higher fracture toughness even similar to the transition layer (4/5-YSZ). Hardness was similar between the layers. The ball-in-hole device performed similarly to the three-point bending device and can be used as an alternative to the traditional method.

In-lab simulation of CAD/CAM grinding and intaglio surface treatments of 4YSZ monolithic restorations: Effect on its load-bearing capacity under fatigue. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2022; 134:105417. [PMID: 36049370 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105417] [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: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of in-lab simulation of CAD/CAM grinding and intaglio surface treatments on the surface characteristics (topography and roughness) and fatigue behavior of adhesively luted 4YSZ simplified restorations. METHODS Ceramic discs (Ø = 10 mm, thickness = 1 mm) were randomly allocated into 6 groups considering: "In-lab simulation of CAD/CAM grinding" (ground or polished) and "intaglio surface treatments": Ctrl (without surface treatment), AlOx (aluminum oxide air abrasion) or GLZ (glaze spray application). The surface roughness of all samples was measured, the treated discs received a ceramic primer, were luted with resin cement onto a dentin analogue material (woven glass-reinforced epoxy resin) and tested under a cyclic fatigue test (step-stress approach, n = 15; 1.4 Hz, 10,000 cycles/step, step-size of 100N starting at 200N until failure). A complementary analysis was performed to corroborate the findings in the fatigue test that the glaze fill defects increase the mechanical properties of the ceramic. To do so, bars (n= 10; 1.0 × 1.0 × 12 mm; considering the groups: N-ID: non-indented; ID: indented; ID-GLZ: indented plus glaze spray application) were indented in a vickers hardness tester to produce a crack pattern, treated with glaze or not, and then submitted to flexural strength tests (FS). Fractographic and topographic analysis were performed. RESULTS In-lab simulation of CAD/CAM grinding decreased the fatigue failure load of the 4YSZ ceramic when comparing polished and ground groups, regardless of surface treatment. GLZ induced better fatigue performance compared to the air abrasion, regardless of the grinding condition (ground or polished surface). The results of the flexural strength test corroborated the findings in the fatigue test, as the ID-GLZ group presented superior FS than the ID group, however both had inferior FS than N-ID. There is an inverse association between roughness and fatigue failure load, as the higher the surface roughness, the lower the fatigue failure load. Failures in the fatigue and flexural strength tests started from the face subjected to tensile stresses. CONCLUSION In-lab simulation of CAD/CAM grinding had a detrimental effect on the fatigue behavior of 4YSZ and glaze spray induced better 4YSZ performance compared to the air abrasion. The intaglio surface treatments differently influenced the 4YSZ fatigue performance, however, only glaze spray can reverse the damage caused by the grinding.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the topography and the fatigue performance of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic after surface grinding through different laboratory protocols used to simulate the Computer-aided design/Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milling. Ceramic discs (IPS e.max CAD, Ø = 13.5 mm × 1.2 mm of thickness) were produced through different methodologies: milling in CAD/CAM system (CAD/CAM group); produced in-lab with a polished surface (POL group); or produced through in-lab methods and randomly distributed into five groups according to different grinding protocols to simulate the CAD/CAM milling [grinding with a CAD/CAM bur coupled to a mandrel (CAD/CAM Bur group); fine diamond bur using oscillatory movements (DBO group); fine diamond bur in x and y axes of the disc (DBXY group); #60-grit silicon carbide sandpaper (SiC group); and #60-grit wood sandpaper (WS group)]. The specimens were fatigue tested (n = 15) according to the step-stress method (initial load: 60 N; step-size: 20 N; 10,000 cycles/step; 20 Hz frequency). A roughness analysis was performed on all specimens, while fractal dimension (FD) and fractography were performed on representative samples. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the POL (293.3 N) group presented better fatigue performance (higher load and number of cycles for failure) (p < 0.05) than the other groups (CAD/CAM = 222.7 N; CAD/CAM Bur = 181.3 N; DBO = 184.0 N; DBXY = 192.0 N; SiC = 182.6 N; WS = 182.6 N). For roughness, only the SiC (Ra = 1.616; Rz = 10.465) and WS (Ra = 1.673; Rz = 10.655) groups produced statistically similar Ra (μm) and Rz (μm) values to the CAD/CAM (Ra = 1.628; Rz = 9.571) group (p > 0.05). The surface created by CAD/CAM milling and POL group exhibited more complexity (FD) higher values than the experimental groups. For the ceramic surface topography images, the CAD/CAM milling visibly produced a uniform surface compared to the other groups; however, the POL group was the smoothest. The DBO, DBXY, SiC, and WS groups resulted in similar characteristics of surface topography. Therefore, although the SiC and WS groups showed similar roughness to the control group (CAD/CAM), no in-lab simulation method was fully capable to mimic the mechanical performance of the CAD/CAM-milled lithium disilicate glass-ceramic.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of surface roughness (polished vs. CAD/CAM milling simulation) on impact strength of five dental ceramics for manufacturing CAD/CAM monolithic restorations. Specimens of five ceramics (FC- feldspathic glass-ceramic; PICN- polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network; ZLS- zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic; LD- lithium disilicate glass-ceramic; YZ- yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal ceramic) to be tested under impact (15×10×2mm3; n= 15) were divided into two groups, according to surface treatment: polishing (pol) and grinding (gri) as CAD/CAM milling simulation. Impact strength was tested using the Dynstat method. Roughness, topographic, fractographic and finite element analyses were performed. The impact strength data were analyzed by Weibull, and Pearson correlation was used to correlate roughness and impact strength data. The CAD/CAM milling simulation led to significantly (p<0.05) greater roughness (Ra and Rz) and statistically reduced the impact strength for PICN (polPICN= 4.59 to griPICN= 1.09; ±76% decrease), for LD (polLD= 17.69 to griLD= 10.09; ±43% decrease) and for YZ (polYZ= 74.99 to griYZ= 20.67; ±72% decrease) ceramics; and also promoted a more irregular topography with scratches and grooves. Fractographic and FEA analyses depicted the origin of failure at the higher stress concentration side during the impact test, where the pendulum impacted. The CAD/CAM milling simulation significantly decreased the impact strength of the evaluated ceramic materials.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of grinding and polishing the inner surface of monolithic discs made of zirconia polycrystals (ZR) and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LD) on the load-bearing capacity under fatigue of the restorations bonded onto a dentin analogue material (epoxy resin). ZR and LD ceramic discs (10 mm in diameter, 1 mm in thickness) were produced and randomly allocated into 10 groups considering the internal adjustment approach: Ctrl - No adjustment; F - Grinding with fine diamond bur (46 μm); F + Pol - Grinding with fine diamond bur followed by polishing with 2 tips (finisher and polisher); FF - Grinding with extrafine diamond bur (30 μm); FF + Pol - Grinding with extrafine diamond bur followed by polishing. In addition, discs (10 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in thickness) of fiber reinforced epoxy resin were produced. Afterwards, the intaglio surface of the ZR discs were air-abraded with 45 μm alumina particles for 10 s, the LD and resin epoxy discs were etched with hydrofluoric acid (5%/20 s and 10%/60 s, respectively), and the treated discs were primed as recommended. Each ceramic disc was luted onto the epoxy resin disc with resin cement. Then, the samples were tested under a step-stress fatigue test (20 Hz, 10,000 cycles/step, step-size of 100 N starting at 200 N, and proceeding until failure detection). Fractographic, topographic and surface roughness analysis were also performed. The adjustments (grinding with or without polishing) (ZR: 733-880 N; LD: 1040-1106 N) triggered a detrimental effect on the fatigue behavior in both ceramics compared with the absence of treatment (control group; ZR: 973 N; LD: 1406 N). The polishing step had no effect on fatigue findings. Thus, grinding the inner surface of the tested ceramics should be avoided wherever possible to prevent introducing damage and its detrimental effects on the fatigue behavior.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of a coffee beverage and two whitening systems on the surface roughness and gloss of glazed Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramics (LDGC) for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. METHODS Sixty-eight LDGC disks (12 × 10 × 2 mm) were prepared from blocks of CAD/CAM systems (IPS e.max CAD ceramic). Baseline measurements for surface roughness (Ra) and gloss (GU) were taken using a 3-D optical profilometer and a glossmeter, respectively; then specimens were randomized into four groups (n = 17). All specimens were immersed in a coffee solution (24 h × 12 days) then subjected to two whitening systems. G1-negative control (kept moist × 7 days); G2-positive control (brushed with distilled water, 200 g/load, 2 min twice daily × 7 days); G3-whitening toothpaste (Colgate optic white; relative dentin abrasivity (RDA) = 100, 200 g/load, 2 min twice daily × 7 days); and G4-simulated at-home bleaching protocol (Opalescence,15% carbamide peroxide (CP), 6 h/day × 7 days). The study outcomes were measured at baseline and after the treatments. Data were analyzed using paired T-test and one-way ANOVA (α = 0.05). RESULTS The mean surface roughness significantly increased (p ⩽ 0.002) for all groups after the designated treatment protocols. Among groups, the mean surface roughness of G2 and G3 were significantly higher (p ⩽ 0.001) (Ra: 0.51 and 0.57 μm, respectively) compared to the control group (Ra: 0.23 μm), and were not significantly different from G4 (Ra: 0.46 μm). Surface gloss decreased with no significant change within or among groups after treatment. CONCLUSION All glazed LDGC had a significant increase in surface roughness after being subjected to simulated 1 year of coffee drinking and whitening systems (15% CP and whitening toothpaste), and the greatest change was associated with brushing (simulating 8 months). However, coffee beverages and whitening systems had no significant effect on the surface gloss.

Abstract
The aim of the present scoping review was to identify and discuss the methods, testing parameters, and characteristics used to induce cyclic fatigue on non-anatomic dental ceramic specimens. In vitro studies written in English which evaluated commercially-available non-anatomic dental ceramic specimens subjected to mechanical cyclic fatigue were selected. The search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. The initial search yielded 1,636 articles, of which 81 were included. Based on the collected data, most of the included studies evaluated dental ceramic specimens cemented to supporting substrate (n= 42; 51.9%); used step-stress (n= 35; 42.2%) accelerated fatigue test, loading frequencies above 10 Hz (n= 31, 35.6%), stainless steel (n = 28, 32.6%) load applicator with spherical shaped tip 40 mm diameter (n= 25, 30.9%); applied only axial loads (n= 77, 95.1%); and considered a wet testing environment (n= 65, 78.3%). The definition of test geometry, method, and testing parameters must be cautiously considered according to the study objective and the scenario that is simulated. Accelerated fatigue tests, load frequencies up to 20 Hz, a 40 mm stainless steel spherical load applicator and a wet testing environment are the major common defined parameters presented in the existing literature. More studies exploring the influence of such factors on fatigue mechanism are necessary.

Load-bearing capacity under fatigue and FEA analysis of simplified ceramic restorations supported by Peek or zirconia polycrystals as foundation substrate for implant purposes. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 123:104760. [PMID: 34418777 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The fatigue behavior and FEA analysis of different ceramic materials cemented over distinct substrates for implant-supported crowns were evaluated in this study. Discs of 10 mm in diameter of both restorative and substrate materials were made and randomly allocated into pairs (n = 15) considering the two study factors: 'restorative ceramic material' (1 mm thickness) - polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN), lithium disilicate (LD), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS), or translucent zirconia (TZ); and 'foundation substrate' (2 mm thickness) - polyetheretherketone (Peek) or yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YZ). Adhesive cementation was made with a dual cure resin cement. Fatigue testing was run using the step-stress methodology: initial load of 200 N for 5000 cycles, followed by steps of 10,000 cycles starting at 400 N up to 2800 N or until failure, step size of 200 N, frequency of 20 Hz. Data were analyzed by the Kaplan Meier and log-rank post-hoc tests. Fractography analysis (stereomicroscope and SEM) and FEA were also performed. Both factors under study and their interaction statistically influenced the fatigue failure load (FFL), cycles for failure (CFF) and survival rates (p < 0.001). The restorative materials bonded to YZ had higher FFL and CFF than when adhering to Peek, while restorative materials with more crystalline content (TZ and ZLS) showed higher FFL and CFF than LD and PICN. The fractography analysis showed that all materials bonded to YZ resulted in failures starting at the occlusal surface (Hertzian cone cracks), while materials bonded to Peek had radial cracks from the ceramic-cement intaglio surface. FEA analysis showed that tensile stress concentration decreased in the intaglio surface when testing the restorative material over a stiffer (YZ) foundation substrate. In addition, the higher the restorative material's crystalline content, the more the stress is concentrated within the material (TZ > ZLS ≥ LD > PICN) when bonded to the same foundation substrate. Thus, it concluded that a stiffer foundation substrate (YZ) enhances the load-bearing capacity under fatigue of the restorative set; that restorative materials with higher crystalline content results in higher fatigue performance of the set, regardless of the foundation used; and that the foundation material influences the failure pattern of the restorative set.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of in-lab simulation procedures performed on a lithium disilicate ceramic luted to a dentin-analogue material regarding the fatigue performance and topographic changes. Lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max CAD) discs (Ø = 13.5 mm and 1.5 mm of thickness) were produced in different ways: milled in a CAD/CAM system (CAD/CAM - control group); mirror-polished (POL group); produced in-lab and ground with #60 silicon carbide paper (SiC group); with #60 wood sandpaper (WS group); with a fine diamond bur (DB group); or with a CAD/CAM bur adapted in a handpiece with a custom mandrel (MANDREL group). The ceramic discs were adhesively luted (Multilink N) onto dentin analogue discs (Ø = 12 mm and 2 mm of thickness) and fatigue testing (n = 19 discs) was performed by step-stress methodology (initial load of 200 N; step-size of 50 N; 10,000 cycles per step; 20 Hz). Surface roughness and contact angle analysis were also performed. According to Kaplan-Meier and post-hoc Mantel-Cox (log-rank), distinct fabrication methods affected the fatigue performance of bonded glass-ceramic discs (p< 0.001). The CAD/CAM group presented the lowest fatigue failure loads (1250 N) and number of cycles for failure (185,000), while the POL groups obtained the highest results (1752 N; 284,444 cycles). The in-lab groups had intermediate values (1355 - 1526 N; 206,052 - 238,684 cycles). Polished specimens presented the lowest roughness values (Ra = 0.041 μm), while the SiC (1.604 μm), WS (1.701 μm), and MANDREL (1.867 μm) groups showed statistically similar roughness values to the CAD/CAM group (1.738 μm). Despite differences before etching, the contact angle was similar among the milled and simulated groups after etching, except for the polished group. Even with some topographic similarities, the tested in-lab simulation methods were not able to mimic the milled specimens in terms of fatigue findings, leading to distinct magnitude of overestimations of the results.

J Prosthet Dent 2021; 128:1190-1200. [PMID: 33865557 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.02.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Whether procedures performed before the cementation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) glass-ceramic restorations, including milling, fitting adjustment, and hydrofluoric acid etching introduce defects on the ceramic surface that affect the mechanical and surface properties is unclear. PURPOSE A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the effect of milling, fitting adjustments, and hydrofluoric acid etching (HF) on the flexural strength and roughness (Ra) of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature searches were performed up to June 2020 in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, with no publication year or language limits. The focused question was "Do milling, fitting adjustments, and hydrofluoric acid etching affect the flexural strength and roughness of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics?" For the meta-analysis, flexural strength and Ra data on milling, fitting adjustment, and HF etching versus control (polishing) were analyzed globally. A subgroup analysis assessed the effect of etching parameters (HF concentration and time) on the flexural strength and roughness of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics with different microstructures. Comparisons were performed with random-effect models at 5% significance. RESULTS Fourteen studies from 2764 potentially relevant records were included in the qualitative syntheses, and 12 in the meta-analysis. Milling and fitting adjustments increased roughness and reduced the flexural strength of CAD-CAM glass-ceramics. The effect of HF etching was dependent on the glass-ceramic microstructure, HF concentration, and etching time. For feldspathic- and leucite-reinforced ceramics, HF 5% applied for between 30 and 120 seconds increased roughness without affecting flexural strength. For lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, HF concentrations greater than 4.9% used for 20 seconds or more reduced the strength without affecting the surface roughness. CONCLUSIONS The flexural strength of CAD-CAM glass-ceramic is reduced by grinding procedures such as milling and fitting adjustment. Ceramic microstructure, HF concentration, and etching time determined the effect of hydrofluoric acid etching on the flexural strength and surface roughness of glass-ceramic materials.

Step-stress vs. staircase fatigue tests to evaluate the effect of intaglio adjustment on the fatigue behavior of simplified lithium disilicate glass-ceramic restorations. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2020; 113:104091. [PMID: 33032009 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.104091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Revised: 09/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes for the fatigue mechanical behavior of bonded simplified lithium disilicate restorations, with and without an internal adjustment by grinding with diamond bur in running two fatigue tests: Staircase and Step-stress testing approaches. Ceramic discs (IPS e.max CAD) were prepared (Ø = 10 mm; thickness = 1.0 mm), submitted to an in-lab simulation of CAD/CAM milling (#60 SiC paper) and allocated into 2 groups according to the internal adjustment by grinding of the cementation surface: no adjustment (CTRL); or grinding with a coarse diamond bur (GR). Adhesive cementation (Multilink N) was performed onto epoxy resin discs (Ø = 10 mm; thickness = 2 mm) after ceramic/epoxy surface treatments. The cemented assemblies of each group were randomly assigned into 2 subgroups considering two fatigue tests (n = 15): Staircase - SC (250,000 cycles; 20 Hz), or Step-stress - SS (10,000 cycles per step; 20 Hz). Roughness, topographic and fractographic analyses were additionally performed. Statistical analyses were carried out using the Dixon and Mood method for Staircase data, and Kaplan-Meier and Mantel-Cox (log-rank) tests for Step-stress data. Ceramic restorations having its intaglio surface ground (GR group: SC test = 306.67 N; SS test = 646.67 N) presented lower fatigue failure load (FFL) values than the CTRL group (SC test = 879.28 N; SS test = 1090.00 N), regardless of the fatigue testing approach. The percentage of mean FFL decrease comparing the CTRL to GR group was higher for SC (65.1%) than the SS (40.7%) approach. However, a different total number of cycles was applied for each method. Both fatigue tests were able to detect the negative effect of internal adjustments of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic simplified restorations on their mechanical behavior. Therefore, both methods can be applied for similar evaluations (fatigue testing for ceramic restorations).

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2020; 109:103800. [PMID: 32347216 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.103800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of diamond bur grinding the intaglio surface of second (yttria partially-stabilized zirconia polycrystals, PSZ) and third-generation zirconia (fully-stabilized zirconia polycrystals, FSZ) adhesively cemented to dentin analogue substrate on the fatigue failure load, cycle number until failure, surface micromorphology and phase transformation. Disc-shaped specimens were produced from second (Katana ML-HT, Kuraray) and third-generation zirconia (Katana STML, Kuraray) and randomly allocated (n = 15) into two groups according to the intaglio surface treatment: Control - Ctrl (without grinding); Grinding - Gr (grinding at the center of the intaglio surface). The ceramic discs were adhesively cemented (Multilink Automix System) onto dentin analogue discs. Fatigue tests were executed by the step-stress method. The obtained data were analyzed by Kaplan Meier and Mantel-Cox tests. In addition, surface topography, roughness, phase transformation and fractography analyses were performed. SEM analysis showed that grinding increased the surface roughness and introduced defects in zirconia from both generations. Grinding increased the fatigue failure load, number of cycles to failure and survival rates of the second-generation zirconia statistically (control: 1373.33 N < grinding: 1600 N), while these same outcomes were reduced by grinding for the third-generation zirconia significantly (control: 766.67 N > grinding: 620 N). Thus, clinical adjustments with diamond burs damage the fatigue behavior of adhesively cemented third-generation zirconia.
