Biomechanical consideration in tooth-supported glass-ceramic restorations: A systematic review and meta-analysis of survival rates and irreparable failures. J Prosthet Dent 2024:S0022-3913(24)00357-3. [PMID: 38849264 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Knowledge on the biomechanical behavior of glass-ceramics, their survival rate over time, and their potential failures is essential for decision-making in clinical practice. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis of their survival rates and irreparable failures are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the survival rates and irreparable failures of various monolithic glass-ceramic dental restorations to help determine biomechanical indications. MATERIAL AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted across the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases based on the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) question, risk of bias assessment, data extraction, subgroup analysis, and meta-analysis. Both randomized and nonrandomized clinical trials that reported survival rate and irreparable failure were screened. The risk, with a 95% confidence interval, was calculated by using the Mantel-Haenszel method. RESULTS A total of 46 articles met the inclusion criteria: 8 for laminate veneers, 20 for partial coverage restorations, 11 for single crowns, and 6 for fixed partial dentures, encompassing 1715 participants rehabilitated with 4209 restorations. The estimated cumulative survival rate for partial coverage restorations was 90% over an average span of 6.2 years, with an irreparable failure occurrence of n=5.9. Laminate veneers had a survival rate of 90.2% over 6.5 years, with an irreparable failure occurrence of n=8.2. Single crowns had a survival rate of 96% over 4.6 years and an irreparable failure of n=2.7. Conversely, fixed partial dentures had a survival rate of 76.1% over 6.5 years with an irreparable failure of n=5.2. CONCLUSIONS Glass-ceramic materials demonstrate relatively high survival rates, indicating that they provide a safe and reliable option for partial coverage restorations, laminate veneers, and single crowns. However, fixed partial dentures had a higher proportion of irreparable failures and a lower survival rate, and caution is required.

Chaar MS, Passia N, Becker M, Kern M. Long-term clinical outcome of three-unit fixed-fixed posterior zirconia ceramic inlay-retained FDPs with a modified design. J Dent 2024; 140:104781. [PMID: 37981045 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104781] [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: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the long-term clinical outcome of posterior inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (IRFDPs) with a modified design made from zirconia ceramic. METHODS In 30 patients thirty 3-unit IRFDPs were placed to replace 7 premolars (4 in the maxilla, 3 in the mandible), and 23 first molars (15 in the maxilla, 8 in the mandible). Preparations were accomplished in agreement with the general principles for ceramic inlay restorations and modified with a short retainer-wing bevel preparation within the enamel at the buccal and oral sides. The frameworks were milled from 3Y-TZP ceramic, and the pontics were veneered with feldspathic ceramic. All IRFDPs were bonded with a phosphate monomer containing luting resin after air-abrasion of the intaglio surfaces. The patients were recalled 6-12 months after placement, and then annually. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the survival and complication rates of the IRFDPs. RESULTS The mean observation time was 10.6 ± 1.5 years. The 10-year cumulative survival rate was 89% with 4 failures, two of them were due to deep secondary caries with loss of retention, one due to repeated debonding with enamel fractures, and one due to generalized progressive periodontitis. The most common complication was chipping of the veneering ceramic (20.1%). Eighteen IRFDPs were free of any type of complication up to 15.4 years, which corresponds to a 10-year cumulative success rate of 70.4%. CONCLUSION The long-term clinical performance of modified IRFDPs made of veneered zirconia ceramics was favorable after 10 years, therefore, they represent a treatment alternative to replace posterior single missing teeth. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Zirconia-based IRFDPs fabricated in the modified design may represent a substance-preserving alternative to conventional posterior FDPs to replace posterior single missing teeth, particularly in cases where implants cannot be placed, and when the adjacent teeth already have small restorations or defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical properties of different endocrown designs on endodontically treated teeth with an extensive defect in the mesial wall using a three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM). METHODS Four finite element analysis models were designed and built up based on different endocrown configurations in a mandibular molar. One model was designed as a butt joint preparation with 2 mm occlusal thickness(control), the other three models were butt joint designs with different distances between the bottom of the mesial wall preparation and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ): 2 mm, 1 mm and 0 mm respectively. A vertical load parallel with the longitudinal axis of the tooth and an oblique load with a 45°angle to the longitudinal axis were applied to the occlusal surfaces. The maximum Von Misses (VM) stresses and stress distribution patterns were calculated and compared. Weibull risk-of-rupture analysis was used to analyze the survival probability of the restorations and tooth in the different models. RESULTS For the restoration, the model with a mesial wall destruction at the level of CEJ showed much higher risk of failure than other models. Overall, none of the four models showed failure. Under oblique loading, VM stress in the cement layer of the models with a mesial wall defect was higher than in the control model. In the dentin, the highest VM stresses were found in the peri-cervical dentin. Under the oblique loading, the model with the mesial wall destruction at the level of CEJ restored by endocrown showed the highest risk of failure. CONCLUSION Under the oblique loading, with the increase of the simulated defect in the mesial wall, the peak VM stress values in the cement layer increased accordingly. In the model with a mesial wall defect up to the level of CEJ risk of failure was highest in the cervical dentin.

[PMID: 36370641 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105547] [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: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in-vitro study was to investigate the effect of framework design on fracture resistance and failure modes of cantilever inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFDPs) fabricated from two multilayered monolithic zirconia materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two natural premolar teeth were prepared as abutments for cantilever IRFDPs using three designs: mesial-occlusal (MO) inlay with short buccal and palatal wings (D1), MO inlay with long palatal wing (D2), MO inlay with long palatal wing and occlusal extension (D3). Full-contoured IRFDPs were fabricated from two monolithic zirconia materials; IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime and Zolid Gen-X. Adhesive surfaces were air-abraded and bonded with MDP-containing resin cement. Specimens were subjected to thermocycling (5-55 °C, 5000 cycles); then, mechanical loading (1.2 × 10⁶ cycles, 49 N). Surviving specimens were loaded until failure in the universal testing machine. All specimens were examined under stereomicroscope, and two samples from each group were evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscope. RESULTS Mean failure loads were not significantly different between different framework designs or between two materials. However, IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime showed significantly higher failure rate than Zolid Gen-X during dynamic fatigue (p = 0.009). Samples with D1 design showed higher debonding rate, D2 failed mainly by fracture of the palatal wing and debonding, and D3 failed mainly by fracture of the abutment tooth. Debonded restorations showed mainly mixed failures. CONCLUSION Cantilever IRFDPs with framework designs that maximize adhesion to enamel exhibited promising results. IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime was more susceptible to fractures with the long palatal wing design.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the fracture behavior of inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPDs) made of experimental short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) block before and after cyclic fatigue aging. METHODS Five groups (n=20/group) of three-unit posterior IRFPDs were fabricated. The first and second groups were CAD/CAM fabricated from experimental SFRC blocks or lithium-disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, IVOCLAR) materials, the third group comprised a three-dimensional-printed composite (Temp PRINT, GC), and the fourth and fifth groups comprised conventional laboratory flowable composite (Gradia Plus, GC) and commercial flowable SFRC (everX Flow, GC), respectively. All IRFPDs were luted into a metal jig with adhesive dual-cure resin cement (RelyX Ultimate, 3M ESPE). Half the IRFPDs per group (n=10) were subjected to fatigue aging for 10,000 cycles. The remaining half were statically loaded until fracture without fatigue aging. The load was applied vertically between triangular ridges of the buccal and lingual cusps. The fracture mode was visually examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS ANOVA revealed that IRFPDs made of experimental SFRC CAD/CAM had the highest (p<0.05) load-bearing capacity before (2624±463 N) and after (2775±297 N) aging among all groups. Cyclic fatigue aging decreased the load-bearing capacity (p>0.05) of all tested prostheses, except for the experimental SFRC CAD/CAM and conventional laboratory composite IRFPDs (p>0.05). SEM images showed the ability of discontinuous short fibers in the experimental SFRC CAD/CAM composite to redirect and hinder crack propagation. CONCLUSION CAD/CAM-fabricated IRFPDs made of experimental SFRC blocks showed promising performance in clinical testing in terms of fracture behavior.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to evaluate the effect of different preparation depths for inlay-retained fixed partial dentures on the accuracy of intraoral scanners. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tooth preparations for two inlay-retained fixed partial dentures were done and divided according to depth of the preparation. Group A: 2mm pulpal floor depth, 3mm gingival floor depth and Group B: 3mm pulpal floor depth, 4mm gingival floor depth. The CEREC Omnicam4.4.4, Omnicam4.6.2. Trios3 and Medit i500 intraoral scanners were used in this study. Tooth preparations were scanned by each scanner 10 times. The STL files obtained from the intraoral scanners were compared to the reference models (trueness) and within each test group (precision) using a 3D comparison software. Data were then statistically analyzed. RESULTS Regarding trueness, two-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between the different types of scanners (p<0.001) (Omnicam4.4.4: 65.09 ±2.87 Omnicam4.6.1: 52.73 ±3.31 Medit i500: 58.45 ±2.63 Trios 3: 41.79 ±4.42). Preparation depth had no significant influence on the trueness (p = 0.083). For precision two-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between the different types of scanners (p<0.001). Preparation depth had no significant influence on the precision (p = 0.111). Statistically significant interactions were found between the different variables. CONCLUSIONS The depth of preparation did not have an influence on the accuracy of different scanners. However, the type of scanner influenced the accuracy of digital impressions with Trios3 showing the highest accuracy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to evaluate the load bearing capacity of RBFDPs made of different materials after cyclic loading, and classify the failure types after loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sound human mandibular first premolars and first molar pairs (N = 60 per tooth type, n = 10 per group) were randomly divided into six experimental groups to receive one of the following inlay-retained RBFDP types: RC: Resin composite only, DFRC: Direct E-glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), IFRC: Indirect E-glass FRC, LS: Lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, ZR: Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia, MC: Metal-ceramic. Box preparations were made in abutment teeth using diamond burs followed by standardized ultrasonic burs. The teeth were conditioned employing an etch-and-rinse adhesive system and the indirect RBFDPs were cemented adhesively. The specimens were subjected to cyclic loading for x1.200.000 in distilled water alternating between 5 and 55 °C (Zurich Chewing Simulator). They were then loaded to failure from the occlusal surface in the Universal Testing Machine (cross-head speed: 1 mm/min). Failure types were classified as repairable or irreparable depending on the location and size. Data were analyzed using Welch and Tamhane's T2 post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). Weibull modulus for each group was calculated based on parametric distribution analysis of censored data for maximum fracture load. RESULTS Mean load bearing capacity (N) of Groups LS (1274 ± 270), ZR (1567 ± 363) and MC (1544 ± 787) were significantly higher than those of other groups (p < 0.05). RC, DFRC, IFRC (601 ± 130 - 819 ± 270) and MC did not show significant difference (p > 0.05). Weibull modulus (m) was the highest in Group LS (m = 5.3) followed by Group RC (m = 5.1). Other groups presented Weibull moduli ranging between 1.4 and 3.3. Only in Group ZR, 2 early debonding occurred during cyclic loading. While in this group predominantly irreparable failures (debonding with without tooth fracture) were observed (8 out of 10), all other groups presented mainly single or a combination of repairable failures (chipping in the veneering material). DFRC, IDRC and MC did not show any debonding from the abutment teeth. CONCLUSION Considering load bearing capacity, repairable failure types and Weibull moduli, lithium disilicate seem to be more durable than those of other material options for posterior inlay-retained RBFDPs. Due to early debondings and catastrophic irreparable failure types, zirconia RBFDPs should be indicated with caution in the posterior region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term clinical outcome of inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (IRFDPs) made from lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five IRFDPs were placed in 42 patients (21 women, mean age 36.1 years and 21 men, mean age 42.0 years). The IRFDPs replaced 4 premolars and 19 first molars in the maxilla and 4 premolars and 18 first molars in the mandible. All teeth were prepared following a standardized protocol for ceramic inlay restorations. Five of the 45 FDPs were hybrid-retained restorations, i.e. one abutment tooth with an inlay retainer and one with a full crown retainer. All restorations were fabricated from heat-pressed lithium-disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent AG). The minimal size of the proximal connector was 16 mm2 (4 mm × 4 mm in height and width) with a minimum occlusal ceramic thickness of 1.5 mm. Hydrofluoric acid etching (5%) and silane application was used for conditioning the bonding surfaces. Standard adhesive luting techniques were performed using a dentin adhesive and a resin composite. Standardized follow-up reports were performed annually. The survival rates were performed using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS The mean observation period was 100 months (minimum 4, maximum 234 months). Thirty-three FDPs (73%) failed during the observation period and had to be replaced by other restorations. The Kaplan-Meier survival rate for IRFDPs was 57% after 5 years, 38% after 8 years and 22% after 15 years, while for hybrid-retained FDPs it was 100% after 5 years, 60% after 8 years and also 60% after 15 years. CONCLUSION With the design used in the current, study lithium-disilicate ceramic IRFDP had a high clinical failure rate and cannot be recommended for regular clinical use.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to compare the mechanical response of resin-bonded fixed dental prosthesis (RBFDP) made in zirconia, metal, lithium disilicate and composite resin cemented using resin cements with different elastic modulus. For the finite element analysis, a three-dimensional model of partial right maxilla was used to create a model with edentulous space in the second premolar and the cavity's preparation on the first pre-molar and first molar to receive a RBFDP. The model was imported to the analysis software in which they were divided into mesh composed by nodes (371,101) and tetrahedral elements (213,673). Each material was considered isotropic, elastic and homogeneous. No-separation contacts were considered between restoration/resin cement and resin cement/tooth. For all other structures the contacts were considered ideal. The model fixation occurred at the base of the bone and an axial load of 300 N was applied on the pontic occlusal surface. To simulate polymerization shrinkage effects on the cement, the thermal expansion approach was used. The displacement and maximum principal stress (in MPa) were selected as failure criteria. The prosthesis made in composite resin showed higher displacement, while in zirconia showed higher stress concentration. Tensile stress between restoration/cement, cement and cement/cavity was directly proportional to the restorative material's elastic modulus. The more rigid cement increases the tensile zones in the cement layer but decreases the stress between prosthesis and cement. The molar cavity showed higher stress concentration between restoration/cement than the preparation in the pre-molar tooth. The use of composite resin for the manufacturing of RBFDP increases the displacement of the set during the loading. However, it reduces the amount of stress concentration at the adhesive interface in comparison with the other materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cementation failures of restorations are frequently observed in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of initial and repeated bonding on the bond strengths of different resin cements to enamel and dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety human maxillary central incisors were bisected longitudinally. The 180 tooth halves were divided into 2 groups (n = 90) for enamel and dentin bonding. The enamel and dentin groups were further divided into 3 groups (n = 30) for different resin cement types. Composite resin (Filtek Ultimate) cylinders (3 × 3 mm) were prepared and luted to enamel and dentin using Variolink II (Group V), RelyX ARC (Group R), or Panavia F 2.0 (Group P) resin cement. After 24 hours, initial shear bond strengths of the resin cements to enamel and dentin were measured. Using new cylinders, the specimens were de-bonded and re-bonded twice to measure the first and the second bond strengths to enamel and dentin. Failure modes and bonding interfaces were examined. Data were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Initial and repeated bond strengths to enamel were similar for all the groups. The first (15.3 ± 2.2 MPa) and second (10.4 ± 2.2 MPa) bond strengths to dentin were significantly higher in Group V (P<.0001). Second bond strengths of dentin groups were significantly lower than initial and first bond strengths to dentin (P<.0001). CONCLUSION All resin cements have similar initial and repeated bond strengths to enamel. Variolink II has the highest first and second bond strength to dentin. Bond strength to dentin decreases after the first re-bonding for all resin cements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This literature review was designed to assess and compare the success rates and modes of failure of metal-framed, fibre-reinforced composite and all-ceramic resin-bonded bridges. MATERIALS AND METHOD A Medline search (Ovid), supplemented by hand searching, was conducted to identify prospective and retrospective cohort studies on different resin-bonded bridges within the last 16 years. A total of 49 studies met the pre-set inclusion criteria. Success rates of 25 studies on metal-framed, 17 studies on fibre-reinforced composite and 7 studies on all-ceramic resin-bonded bridges were analysed and characteristics of failures were identified. RESULTS The analysis of the studies indicated an estimation of annual failure rates per year to be 4.6% (±1.3%, 95% CI) for metal-framed, 4.1% (±2.1%, 95% CI) for fibre-reinforced and 11.7% (±1.8%, 95% CI) for all-ceramic resin-bonded bridges. The most frequent complications were: debonding for metal-framed, resin-bonded bridges (93% of all failures); delamination of the composite veneering material for the fibre-reinforced bridges (41%) and fracture of the framework for the all-ceramic bridges (57%). CONCLUSIONS All types of resin-bonded bridges provide an effective short- to medium-term option, with all-ceramic performing least well and having the least favourable mode of failure. The methods of failures were different for different bridges with metal frameworks performing the best over time.

Abstract
PURPOSE Impact forces in implant supported FDP (fixed dental prosthesis) are higher than that of tooth supported FDPs and the compositions used in frameworks also has a paramount role for biomechanical reasons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of two different zirconia frameworks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two implant abutments with 3.8 mm and 4.5 mm platform were used as premolar and molar. They were mounted vertically in an acrylic resin block. A model with steel retainers and removable abutments was fabricated by milling machine; and 10 FDP frameworks were fabricated for each Biodenta and Cercon systems. All samples were thermo-cycled for 2000 times in 5-55℃ temperature and embedded in 37℃ artificial saliva for one week. The flexural test was done by a rod with 2 mm ending diameter which was applied to the multi-electromechanical machine. The force was inserted until observing fracture. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS software ver.15, using Weibull modulus and independent t-test with the level of significance at α=.05. RESULTS The mean load bearing capacity values were higher in Biodenta but with no significant differences (P>.05). The Biodenta frameworks showed higher load bearing capacity (F0=1700) than Cercon frameworks (F0=1520) but the reliability (m) was higher in Cercon (m=7.5). CONCLUSION There was no significant difference between flexural strengths of both zirconia based framework systems; and both Biodenta and Cercon systems are capable to withstand biting force (even parafunctions) in posterior implant-supported bridges with no significant differences.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Lithium disilicate is a relatively new and popular restorative material for esthetic and functional rehabilitations, but the evidence for clinical outcomes is not clear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the short-term (1- to 5-year) and medium-term (5- to 10-year) survival rates of lithium disilicate single crowns and partial fixed dental prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search for articles in the English-language literature published between January 1998 and June 2013 was performed with the PubMed search engine. The specific search terms used were lithium disilicate, lithium silicate, IPS e max, IPS Empress, CAD CAM, pressed ceramic, monolithic, and bilayer. After applying predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, the definitive list of selected articles was suitable only for calculating the interval survival rate and cumulative survival rate. RESULTS The electronic search resulted in 2033 titles. The systematic application of inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in 12 clinical studies that addressed the clinical outcomes of lithium disilicate restorations. Of these, 2 were randomized controlled trials, 5 were prospective studies, 1 was a retrospective study, and 4 studies were descriptive in nature. All 12 studies reported on tooth-retained lithium disilicate restorations. The 2-year cumulative survival rate for single crowns was 100%, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 97.8%. The 2-year cumulative survival rate for fixed dental prostheses was 83.3%, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate was 78.1%. The cumulative survival rate over a 10-year period, primarily owing to data from 1 study, was 96.7% for single crowns and 70.9% for fixed dental prostheses. CONCLUSIONS For lithium disilicate single crowns, the existing evidence indicates excellent short-term survival rates, but the evidence for medium-term survival is limited. For lithium disilicate fixed dental prostheses, the evidence for short-term survival is fair, although limited, but the evidence for medium-term survival is not promising. The majority of failures in both types of restorations were reported in the posterior region.

Abstract
High-strength all-ceramic materials are commonly used in dentistry. When complications occur in an all-ceramic restoration, the restoration is usually replaced. This article describes the time-saving ability and cost-effectiveness of this novel technique for the addition of a pontic in two complicated clinical cases. Turkom-Cera™ [Turkom-Ceramic (M) Sdn. Bhd.] with aluminum oxide (99.98%) is an all-ceramic system that offers the option of addition of a new pontic to the sintered framework. The new pontic was cut off from an alumina blank [Turkom-Ceramic (M) Sdn. Bhd.], moistened, and attached to the framework using alumina gel [Turkom-Ceramic (M) Sdn. Bhd.]. The framework was veneered with veneering porcelain (Vita VM 7; VITA Zahnfabrik). The two cases presented here involving the addition of a pontic to sintered framework were followed up for at least 1 year. No complication was detected or reported by the patients. Alumina- and zirconia-based ceramics are particularly suitable for for all-ceramic restorations in high-stress bearing areas. However, replacement of a failed all-ceramic restoration is not the most practical solution, considering both cost and tooth-related factors. This attractive feature of the Turkom-Cera allows the repair of a fractured ceramic coping or the addition of a new pontic to restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study describes the pitfalls for commonly used statistical techniques in dental research and gives some recommendations for avoiding them. It also explores the potential of some of the newer statistical techniques for dental research. METHODS Each of the commonly used techniques e.g. descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, hypothesis tests (parametric and non-parametric) and survival analysis are explored with examples and recommendations for their use are provided. Common sources of error including those of study design, insufficient information, ignoring the impact of clustering and underuse of confidence intervals are outlined. The potential of statistical techniques such as multivariate survival models, generalized estimating equations and multilevel models are also explored. CONCLUSIONS Reviews of published dental research repeatedly identify statistical errors in the design, analysis and conclusions of the study. Educating researchers on common pitfalls and giving recommendations for avoiding them may help researchers to eliminate statistical errors. Developments in statistical methodology should be routinely monitored to ensure the most appropriate statistical methods are used in dental research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of different surface conditioning methods on the tensile bond strength (TBS) and integrity of the leucite-reinforced glass ceramic (Cerana(®) inserts)-resin composite interface, using four commercially available ceramic repair systems. METHODS Two hundred extra-large Cerana(®) inserts were mechanically treated and stored in artificial saliva for 3 weeks and subsequently randomly assigned to one of the following ceramic repair systems (n=40/group): Group 1, Ceramic Repair(®) (Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein); Group 2, Cimara(®) (Voco, Germany); Group 3, Clearfil Repair(®) (Kuraray, Japan); Group 4, CoJet system(®) (3M ESPE, Germany); and Group 5, no surface conditioning and no adhesive system applied: the control group. Subsequently, resin composite material was added to the substrate surfaces and the ceramic-resin composite specimens were subjected to TBS testing. Representative samples from the test groups were subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the mode of failure. The data were analysed statistically using a one-way multivariate analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test at a 95% confidence interval level. RESULTS Surface conditioning with the CoJet(®) system resulted in significantly higher bond strength values (5.2 ± 1.1 MPa) than surface conditioning with the other repair systems (p=0.03). The SEM examination of the failed interfaces revealed that all the specimens examined failed adhesively. SIGNIFICANCE Whilst highest bond strength values were observed with the CoJet(®) system all tested repair systems resulted in relatively weak TBS values and, as a consequence, these repair systems may be indicated only as interim measures.

OBJECTIVES Compressive stress has been intentionally introduced into the overlay porcelain of zirconia-ceramic prostheses to prevent veneer fracture. However, recent theoretical analysis has predicted that the residual stresses in the porcelain may be also tensile in nature. This study aims to determine the type and magnitude of the residual stresses in the porcelain veneers of full-contour fixed-dental prostheses (FDPs) with an anatomic zirconia coping design and in control porcelain with the zirconia removed using a well-established Vickers indentation method. METHODS Six 3-unit zirconia FDPs were manufactured (NobelBiocare, Gothenburg, Sweden). Porcelain was hand-veneered using a slow cooling rate. Each FDP was sectioned parallel to the occlusal plane for Vickers indentations (n = 143; load = 9.8 N; dwell time = 5s). Tests were performed in the veneer of porcelain-zirconia specimens (bilayers, n=4) and porcelain specimens without zirconia cores (monolayers, n = 2). RESULTS The average crack lengths and standard deviation, in the transverse and radial directions (i.e. parallel and perpendicular to the veneer/core interface, respectively), were 67 ± 12 μm and 52 ± 8 μm for the bilayers and 64 ± 8 μm and 64 ± 7 μm for the monolayers. These results indicated a major hoop compressive stress (~40-50 MPa) and a moderate radial tensile stress (~10 MPa) in the bulk of the porcelain veneer. SIGNIFICANCE Vickers indentation is a powerful method to determine the residual stresses in veneered zirconia systems. Our findings revealed the presence of a radial tensile stress in the overlay porcelain, which may contribute to the large clinical chip fractures observed in these prostheses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare fatigue failure modes and reliability of hand-veneered and over-pressed implant-supported three-unit zirconium-oxide fixed-dental-prostheses(FDPs). METHODS Sixty-four custom-made zirconium-oxide abutments (n=32/group) and thirty-two zirconium-oxide FDP-frameworks were CAD/CAM manufactured. Frameworks were veneered with hand-built up or over-pressed porcelain (n=16/group). Step-stress-accelerated-life-testing (SSALT) was performed in water applying a distributed contact load at the buccal cusp-pontic-area. Post failure examinations were carried out using optical (polarized-reflected-light) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to visualize crack propagation and failure modes. Reliability was compared using cumulative-damage step-stress analysis (Alta-7-Pro, Reliasoft). RESULTS Crack propagation was observed in the veneering porcelain during fatigue. The majority of zirconium-oxide FDPs demonstrated porcelain chipping as the dominant failure mode. Nevertheless, fracture of the zirconium-oxide frameworks was also observed. Over-pressed FDPs failed earlier at a mean failure load of 696 ± 149N relative to hand-veneered at 882 ± 61N (profile I). Weibull-stress-number of cycles-unreliability-curves were generated. The reliability (2-sided at 90% confidence bounds) for a 400N load at 100K cycles indicated values of 0.84 (0.98-0.24) for the hand-veneered FDPs and 0.50 (0.82-0.09) for their over-pressed counterparts. CONCLUSIONS Both zirconium-oxide FDP systems were resistant under accelerated-life-time-testing. Over-pressed specimens were more susceptible to fatigue loading with earlier veneer chipping.
