Influence of CAD-CAM manufacturing methods on the accuracy and mechanical properties of implant-supported prostheses: A systematic review. J Prosthodont 2024. [PMID: 39233444 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13933] [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: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to provide comprehensive insights on the accuracy, fit, and mechanical characteristics of implant-supported computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) prostheses, with a focus on milled and 3D-printed approaches. METHODS The research question focused on implant-supported dental prostheses, comparing different manufacturing techniques (conventional, milled, and 3D-printed) to determine the different factors affecting the mechanical properties and fit of the CAD-CAM implant-supported prosthesis. The eligibility criteria encompassed studies involving implant-supported restorations, clear reporting of manufacturing techniques, and English-language publications from the last decade. The search was conducted across three main databases, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science in September 2023. Publication details, study characteristics, and methodological details of each included study were described. RESULTS Of the initial 1964 articles, 581 met the inclusion criteria, and 104 studies were included in the final qualitative analysis. The majority of studies were conducted in the United States, Turkey, and Brazil. Fourteen studies evaluated accuracy parameters, while four studies focused on mechanical characteristics. The studies revealed variability in mechanical properties and marginal and internal fit, with fabrication methods impacting the structural integrity and stress distribution of the prostheses. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that digital manufacturing workflows, both milling and 3D printing, yield acceptable properties for implant-supported restorations with minimal variations in fit and accuracy. Notably, 3D printing and hybrid techniques demonstrate advantages in specific aspects like marginal fit and stress distribution. However, the milled prosthesis provided superior results in flexural strength and fracture resistance compared to conventional methods. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in clinical settings.

Usta Kutlu İ, Hayran Y. Influence of various fabrication techniques and porcelain firing on the accuracy of metal-ceramic crowns. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:845. [PMID: 39060942 PMCID: PMC11282844 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04634-7] [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: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The fit of a metal-ceramic restoration is essential to its long-term durability. Regarding marginal and internal fit, there is not enough information about the technologies used in the production of metal-ceramic restorations. The aim of this in vitro study is to compare, both before and after porcelain firing, the marginal, axial, axio-occlusal, and occlusal fit of metal-ceramic restorations manufactured using casting, additive or subtractive computer-aided design, and computer-aided manufacturing techniques (CAD/CAM). METHODS CAD/CAM were used to create 50 prepared maxillary first molar-shaped Co-Cr die models, which were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10). Cobalt-chrome copings were produced by casting (C), hard metal milling (HM), soft metal milling (SM), selective laser melting (SLM), and selective laser sintering (SLS) techniques. Before and after porcelain firing, discrepancies of the copings were measured using the silicone replica technique. The data obtained by measurements with a stereomicroscope at x80 magnification were analyzed statistically in the SPSS program. The ROBUST three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was used to compare the discrepancy values. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences among fabrication methods (P < .001). The HM method showed the highest discrepancy (90.1 μm), and the C (63 μm) method showed the lowest discrepancy in terms of the die model- crown fit. The C, SLS, and SM methods (63 μm; 61.6 μm; 67.7 μm) were statistically similar (P > .001). The highest discrepancy was observed on the occlusal area (87.1 μm), and the lowest discrepancy was observed on the axial area (47.7 μm) of the coping. Porcelain firing had a decrease in the discrepancy values (P = .001). CONCLUSION All CAD/CAM techniques are appropriate for clinical use; selective laser sintering and soft milling can be the more recommended methods for the compatibility of metal-porcelain restorations, as they have lower discrepancy values than the SLM and HM methods.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to analyze the shear bond strength of composite resin to a commercially available high-performance polymer material for fixed, screw-retained full arch restorations. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 135 computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, high-performance polymer (HPP) blocks were cut and obtained from discs (Trilor 95, Harvest Dental, Brea, CA). The samples were 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm. The specimen surfaces were grouped as untreated (Group A), 50 μm Al2O3 (Group B), 110 μm Al2O3 (Group C), Rocatec (3 M, St. Paul, MN) activated with silica-modified alumina oxide treatment (Group D); and trimmed coarsely with a carbide bur (Group E). Group A samples were used as controls. After surface treatments, the specimens were gently cleansed with oil-free steam and alcohol wipes. Surface conditioning was performed on all physically treated samples. The manufacturer's recommendations were followed for bonding composite resin to the samples with light-cured Visio.link (Bredent, Chesterfield, UK). Cylinders were veneered with composite resins (diameter 5 mm, height 4 mm) and polymerized on the specimen surfaces through plastic tubes. Twenty-seven specimens were used for each testing group and aging tests were performed. The experimental samples were thermocycled. Shear bond strength and scanning electron microscopic tests were performed. Means and standard deviations were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with post-hoc Tukey tests. RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between the groups (p<0.001). The highest shear bond strengths were achieved for the specimens bonded with Visio.link without physical surface treatments (270.47 MPa). The lowest bond strengths were found for specimen surfaces abraded with 110 μm Al2O3 (117.03 Mpa) CONCLUSIONS: The results of this laboratory study indicated that the specimens used with Visio.link as provided by the manufacturer had the highest shear bond strengths between the composite resin and high-performance polymer test specimens. Modifications of the high-performance polymer surfaces with carbide burs did not change bonding strengths with the composite materials.

Abstract
AIM To compare and report on the performance of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (iFDPs) fabricated using additive (AM) or subtractive (SM) manufacturing. METHODS An electronic search was conducted (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, Epistemonikos, clinical trials registries) with a focused PICO question: In partially edentulous patients with missing single (or multiple) teeth undergoing dental implant therapy (P), do AM iFDPs (I) compared to SM iFDPs (C) result in improved clinical performance (O)? Included were studies comparing AM to SM iFDPs (randomized clinical trials, prospective/retrospective clinical studies, case series, in vitro studies). RESULTS Of 2'184 citations, no clinical study met the inclusion criteria, whereas six in vitro studies proved to be eligible. Due to the lack of clinical studies and considerable heterogeneity across the studies, no meta-analysis could be performed. AM iFDPs were made of zirconia and polymers. For SM iFDPs, zirconia, lithium disilicate, resin-modified ceramics and different types of polymer-based materials were used. Performance was evaluated by assessing marginal and internal discrepancies and mechanical properties (fracture loads, bending moments). Three of the included studies examined the marginal and internal discrepancies of interim or definitive iFDPs, while four examined mechanical properties. Based on marginal and internal discrepancies as well as the mechanical properties of AM and SM iFDPs, the studies revealed inconclusive results. CONCLUSION Despite the development of AM and the comprehensive search, there is very limited data available on the performance of AM iFDPs and their comparison to SM techniques. Therefore, the clinical performance of iFDPs by AM remains to be elucidated.

Int J Dent 2023; 2023:3788590. [PMID: 39139497 PMCID: PMC11321897 DOI: 10.1155/2023/3788590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Porcelain fracture is a common problem of metal-ceramic restorations (MCRs). One suggested strategy to prevent it is to modify the metal framework design; however, the available information regarding the effect of framework design on porcelain fracture is scarce. Objective This study aimed to assess the effect of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) framework design fabricated from sintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy on fracture resistance of MCRs. Materials and Methods Twenty premolar metal dies were fabricated for this in vitro study. Ten standard frameworks were designed with 0.5 mm thickness, and 10 customized frameworks were designed with 1 mm thickness at the lingual margin and 0.5 mm thickness in all other areas. All specimens were fabricated from sintered Co-Cr alloy (Ceramill Sintron) using soft metal milling technology. After porcelain application, the specimens underwent thermocycling and cyclic loading for 3,000 cycles between 5 and 55°C. The fracture resistance was measured by a universal testing machine. The failure mode was also determined. Data were statistically analyzed by independent t-test (α = 0.05). Results The mean fracture resistance of porcelain was 2,379 ± 531 N in the standard and 2,557 ± 448 N in the customized group. No significant difference was found in fracture resistance of the two groups (P > 0.05). All specimens in both groups showed mixed failure. Conclusion The fracture resistance of porcelain and the failure mode were not affected by the framework design of MCRs fabricated from sintered Co-Cr alloy (Ceramill Sintron).

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:440-446. [PMID: 34294420 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.06.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The lack of passive fit in implant-supported restorations can lead to mechanical and biological complications and compromise the longevity of the prosthesis. The manufacturing technique and evaluation site are factors that may affect the passive fit of multiunit screw-retained implant frameworks. However, scientific information regarding this issue is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of manufacturing technique and evaluation site on the passive fit of multiunit screw-retained implant frameworks. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two multiunit implant analogs were placed into the right second premolar and second molar sites of a mandibular typodont model. A total of 50 3-unit Co-Cr frameworks were fabricated with 3 indirect (conventional technique, polymethyl methacrylate milling, stereolithography) and 2 direct techniques (selective laser melting and soft alloy milling). The patterns obtained by indirect techniques were subsequently cast. The Sheffield test was used for the assessment. Digital images of the sites were obtained by using a stereomicroscope at ×40 magnification, and the measurement points (n=10 for each site) were examined to record the vertical marginal discrepancy values (μm) with the aid of a measuring software program. The collected data were subjected to the 2-way ANOVA and Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS The influence of the manufacturing technique (variable 1) on the vertical marginal discrepancy values was statistically significant (P<.001). However, the evaluation site (variable 2) (P=.097) and the interaction of the variables (P=.960) were not statistically significant. The lowest misfit values were observed for selective laser melting (74.2 ±20.5 μm) followed by stereolithography (92.8 ±23.9 μm), soft alloy milling (108.4 ±12.0 μm), polymethyl methacrylate milling (116.7 ±17.0 μm), and conventional technique (137.5 ±18.9 μm). The vertical marginal discrepancy values of the selective laser melting group were significantly lower than those of all other groups (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS The manufacturing technique significantly affected the passive fit. selective laser melting-fabricated frameworks demonstrated superior fitting accuracy. Among the indirect techniques, stereolithography-fabricated frameworks revealed the lowest misfit values. The vertical marginal discrepancy values of all manufacturing groups were within the range of clinical acceptability (<150 μm).

Accuracy of marginal fit of an implant-supported framework fabricated by 3D printing versus subtractive manufacturing technique: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:301-309. [PMID: 34147238 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Evidence comparing additive 3-dimensional printing (3DP) with subtractive milling for implant-supported frameworks is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the marginal fit and accuracy of complete arch implant-supported frameworks (CA), implant-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPDs), single implant crowns (SICs), and interim implant-retained restorations (IIRRs) by using additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM) methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library for articles published up to August 2020. The authors acquired the data and evaluated the articles, and the final selection of articles was made according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Heterogeneity was evaluated, and meta-analyses with subgroup analyses were performed in the selected studies. RESULTS The database search resulted in 960 articles. After removing duplicate articles (410 studies), the titles and abstracts were screened in detail, and 10 in vitro studies were selected for qualitative analysis and 9 for quantitative analysis according to the eligibility criteria. Subgroup analyses were performed to compare the 3DP versus the SM technique for different types of implant-supported frameworks (IRFPDs, SICs, IIRRs, and CA). In the IRFPDs analysis, the marginal fit accuracy of the 3DP systems was higher than that with the subtractive manufacturing method (P<.001). In the subgroup analysis of SIC frameworks (P=.55) and CA (P=.67) frameworks, no significant difference was observed in the assessed techniques. CONCLUSIONS The marginal fit of implant-supported frameworks manufactured by AM or SM methods is in the clinically acceptable range.

Abstract
Background/purpose Digital impressions using intraoral scanners have recently gained popularity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fit of full-arch screw-retained cobalt-chromium frameworks fabricated via two different digital impression methods. Materials and methods An edentulous resin master model with four dental implants was fabricated. Forty cobalt-chromium superstructures were fabricated and evaluated according to four groups. In Group 1, the superstructures were evaluated using an intraoral scanner to generate digital impressions. Group 2 relied on the help of an auxiliary geometric appliance in generation of digital impressions via intraoral scanner. The traditional method of splinted open-tray conventional impressions was designated for Group 3. Finally, the control group (Group 4) relied on scanning of the master model directly with a laboratory scanner. Vertical marginal discrepancy was evaluated, and data obtained were statistically analyzed. Results The highest mean vertical marginal gap value (80.86 ± 50.06 μm) was observed for Group 1 and statistically higher than Group 2, 3, and 4 (P < 0.05). The lowest mean vertical marginal gap value (41.98 ± 26.33 μm) was measured from Group 4 and statistically similar to Group 2 and 3 (P > 0.05). Conclusion It has been suggested that the use of auxiliary geometric appliances yields increased scanning accuracy. Frameworks fabricated using the traditional splinted open-tray technique were more reliable compared to those frameworks from digital impressions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study is to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) crowns using the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) method and CAD/CAM milling. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research materials are abutment teeth and prosthetic crowns. The method is based on scanning the abutments and the interior of the substructures, creating their 3D models, using the program for comparison, and determining error maps of fitting crowns to the reference models, in the form of positive and negative deviations. Adding the deviations gives information about the tightness of the crowns. The Shapiro-Wilk test and the one-way ANOVA analysis were performed. The level of significance was p = 0.05. RESULTS The crowns made in SLM, a slightly better internal fit was found than for milled crowns, as well as a comparable marginal fit. The mean deviations for the sintering were the values [mm]: -0.039 and +0.107 for tooth 15 and -0.033 and +0.091 for tooth 36, and for the milling -0.048 and +0.110 for tooth 15 and -0.038 and +0.096 and for tooth 36. CONCLUSION Based on the research conducted and the experience in therapeutic procedures, it can be indicated that the fitting of titanium alloy crowns in SLM and milling meets the clinical requirements. To evaluate the technology, a method was developed that determines the accuracy of mapping the shape of the tooth abutments in the crown substructures for the individual conditions of the patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the trueness of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) assisted procedure and freehand procedure for preparing guiding planes for removable partial dentures (RPDs). METHODS Forty identical mandibular resin casts were divided into two groups in which the guiding planes of two abutment teeth were prepared freehand (control group, n = 20) and using rigidly constrained templates (test group, n = 20). The template was designed on a digital cast of virtually prepared guiding planes and fabricated by selective laser melting using cobalt-chromium alloy. To assess the 3D trueness, all prepared guiding planes (Test data) were digitized using a laboratory scanner and compared to the virtually designed guiding planes (Reference data). The angle deviation between the Test data and the designed direction of the path of placement was measured for assessing the direction trueness of guiding plane preparation. RESULTS The 3D trueness of guiding plane preparation was significantly better in the test group (48.4 ± 12.9 μm) than in the control group (128.5 ± 37.6 μm, p < 0.01). The direction trueness of guiding plane preparation was also significantly better in the test group (1.20 ± 0.55°) than in the control group (7.68 ± 3.00°, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The CAD-CAM template assisted procedure can significantly improve tooth preparation of the guiding planes compared to the freehand preparation. The CAD-CAM template could help clinicians prepare parallel guiding planes in a predictable manner.

Abstract
As digital workflows are gaining popularity, novel treatment options have also arisen in orthodontics. By using selective laser melting (SLM), highly customized 3D-printed appliances can be manufactured and combined with preformed components. When combined with temporary anchorage devices (TADs), the advantages of the two approaches can be merged, which might improve treatment efficacy, versatility, and patient comfort. This article summarizes state-of-the-art technologies and digital workflows to design and install 3D-printed skeletally anchored orthodontic appliances. The advantages and disadvantages of digital workflows are critically discussed, and examples for the clinical application of mini-implant and mini-plate borne appliances are demonstrated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Additive manufacturing (AM) in prosthodontics is used as an alternative to casting or milling. Various techniques and materials are available for the additive manufacturing of the fixed and removable tooth-supported restorations, but there is a lack of evidence on the accuracy of AM fixed implant-supported prostheses. Recent studies investigated the accuracy of ceramic AM prostheses. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the accuracy of additively manufactured metal, ceramic or polymers, and screw- or cement-retained fixed implant-supported prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two calibrated investigators performed an electronic search of relevant publications in the English language following selected PICOS criteria and using a well-defined search strategy (latest search date-1st of June, 2021). Based on the exclusion criteria (no control group, less than five samples per group, 3D printing of the implant abutment part, only subjective evaluation of accuracy, etc.) studies were not included in the review. Quantitative data of accuracy evaluation such as marginal gap, strain analysis, and linear measurements was extracted and interpreted. QUADAS-2 tool was used to assess the risk of methodological bias of all included studies. RESULTS Sixteen in vitro studies were selected for the final analysis. Six of the selected studies evaluated screw-retained restorations and 10 cement-retained implant-supported restorations. Only 4 publications concluded that AM restorations were more accurate than conventionally made (cast or milled) ones. The most common finding was that AM restorations were more accurate than cast and demonstrated less or similar accuracy compared to milled ones (n = 10 studies). Detected marginal discrepancies mean values of the AM prosthesis varied from 23 to more than 200 µm, but most of them were categorized as clinically acceptable. CONCLUSIONS AM implant-supported fixed prostheses demonstrate similar accuracy compared to conventional and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing techniques in vitro. Detected inaccuracies of AM restorations do not exceed clinically acceptable limits. Clinical studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to show the reliability of AM prostheses.

Effect of different tooth preparation designs on the marginal and internal fit discrepancies of cobalt-chromium crowns produced by computer-aided designing and selective laser melting processes. J Adv Prosthodont 2021; 13:333-342. [PMID: 34777722 PMCID: PMC8558576 DOI: 10.4047/jap.2021.13.5.333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of five different tooth preparation designs on the marginal and internal fit discrepancies of cobalt-chromium (CoCr) crowns produced by computer-aided designing (CAD) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five preparation data were constructed, after which design crowns were obtained. Actual crowns were fabricated using an SLM process. After the data of actual crowns were obtained with structural light scanning, intaglio surfaces of the design crown and actual crown were virtually superimposed on the preparation. The fit-discrepancies were displayed with colors, while the root means square was calculated and analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey's test or Kruskal-Wallis test (α =.05). RESULTS The marginal or internal color-coded images in the five design groups were not identical. The shoulder-lip and sharp line angle groups in the CAD or SLM process had larger marginal or internal fit discrepancies compared to other groups (P < .05). In the CAD process, the mean marginal and internal fit discrepancies were 10.0 to 24.2 µm and 29.6 to 31.4 µm, respectively. After the CAD and SLM processes, the mean marginal and internal fit discrepancies were 18.4 to 40.9 µm and 39.1 to 47.1 µm, respectively. The SLM process itself resulted in a positive increase of the marginal (6.0 - 16.7 µm) and internal (9.0 - 15.7 µm) fit discrepancies. CONCLUSION The CAD and SLM processes affected the fit of CoCr crowns and varied based on the preparation designs. Typically, the shoulder-lip and sharp line angle designs had a more significant effect on crown fit. However, the differences between the design groups were relatively small, especially when compared to fit discrepancies observed clinically.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared the marginal and internal fit of implant-supported fixed dentures fabricated using CAD/CAM systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS A lower jaw model representing partial edentulism was produced. Two dental implants were inserted in the area of teeth 35 and 37, onto which cemented abutments were screwed. The model was scanned using a laboratory scanner and transferred to a design software program for substructure fabrication. Sixty substructures were fabricated out of each group for six substructure types (n = 10), cast Co-Cr (control), milling Co-Cr, laser sintering Co-Cr, titanium (Ti), zirconium, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) substructures. The marginal and internal fit was evaluated using a silicone replica viewed under a stereomicroscope. The data were analyzed using the statistical package program for social sciences (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA, v. 17) at a significance level of 0.05. Marginal and internal gaps were compared using the one-way ANOVA test and Tukey's post hoc test. The differences between abutment teeth were determined using the independent sample t-test. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the marginal gap between PEEK and Ti groups (p < 0.05) but no difference between other groups (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the internal gap between PEEK, laser sintering Co-Cr, and milling Co-Cr groups (p < 0.05) but no difference between other groups (p > 0.05). The PEEK group had a higher marginal gap than the Ti group and a higher internal gap than the DMLS Co-Cr group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION All substructures have a marginal and internal fit within acceptable clinical limits. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This in vitro study suggests that materials and techniques used in CAD/CAM systems improve the fitting accuracy of implant-supported fixed restorations.

Abstract
Cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) alloys are the most widely used materials for removable and fixed dental prosthetic frameworks. The fitting accuracy between these components in dental prosthetic frameworks assembles (DPFAs) is largely influenced by the manufacturing method. This study presents a novel manufacturing method that combined two common techniques for obtaining one single framework: casting of Co–Cr inserts on top of parts previously manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) of Co–Cr powder (CoM). Horizontal (n = 4) and vertical (n = 3) surfaces were microscopically analyzed (n = 770 count sum). The results revealed a high precision of the process and high fitting accuracy between the hybrid frameworks. The average distance measured between the frameworks in joined position was 41.08 ± 7.56 µm. In conclusion, the manufacturing of Co–Cr alloys DPFA using the CoM method reduced the deformation of hybrid frameworks and improved the joining accuracy between them.

J Prosthet Dent 2020; 127:609-616. [PMID: 33342611 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Systematic reviews about the internal and marginal misfits of fixed prostheses have identified a limited number of clinical studies, suggesting the need for further research on the subject. Although the replica technique has been described as suitable for this purpose, few studies have validated it. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the ability of a nondestructive replica technique and a destructive cementation technique to assess internal and marginal misfits of zirconia copings, considering current materials and designs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve anatomic prefabricated abutments (Neodent) were used to manufacture zirconia copings following the Ceramill (Amann Girrbach AG) (n=6) and Lava (3M ESPE) (n=6) systems. Replications of the cementation line were obtained with polyvinyl siloxane for the replica technique, and the copings were then cemented and sectioned to obtain 5 surfaces (buccal, palatal, mesial, distal, and incisal) and the linear and angle regions (internal axiogingival and axioincisal angles). The thickness of the cement line and silicone film was measured at 45 reference points on each abutment. A total of 540 measurements were made with an optical microscope with a digital camera at magnifications of ×100 and ×200. Data were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA and the Bonferroni multiple comparison tests (α=.05). RESULTS In the internal misfit evaluation, the mean values observed for the cementation technique and replica technique were as follows: angle regions, 70.6 μm and 72.2 μm; linear regions, 59.1 μm and 59.6 μm; incisal surface, 139.0 μm and 139.8 μm; buccal surface, 72.4 μm and 73.8 μm; palatal surface, 73.1 μm and 75.2 μm; mesial surface, 74.1 μm and 73.8 μm; distal surface, 75.0 μm and 76.3 μm; and overall mean, 73.6 μm and 74.8 μm, respectively. In the evaluation of the marginal misfit, the mean values found were: buccal surface, 36.7 μm and 37.8 μm; palatal surface, 37.5 μm and 36.8 μm; mesial surface, 44.0 μm and 43.7 μm; and distal surface, 44.6 μm and 45.2 μm, respectively. No significant differences were found between the 2 techniques for all locations and systems (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this in vitro study, both techniques presented the same ability to assess the internal and marginal misfits when the location and overall mean averages were evaluated (P>.05).

Abstract
Cobalt–chromium (Co-Cr) metal is one of the widely used biomaterials in the fabrication of dental prosthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in the properties of metals and bond strength with ceramics depending on the manufacturing methods of Co-Cr alloy. Co-Cr alloy specimens were prepared in three different ways: casting, milling, and selective laser melting (SLM). The mechanical properties (elastic modulus, yield strength, and flexural strength) of the alloys were investigated by flexure method in three-point bending mode, and microstructures of the specimens were analyzed. After application of the veneering ceramic through the three-point bending test, bond strength of the Metal-Ceramic was investigated. The cracked surfaces were observed by means of energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with backscattered electron (BSE) images. In mechanical properties, the elastic modulus was highest for the casting group, and the yield strength and flexural strength were lowest for the milling group. The SLM group showed finer homogeneous crystalline-microstructure, and a layered structure was observed at the fractured surface. After the ceramic bond strength test, all groups showed a mixed failure pattern. The casting group showed the highest bond strengths, whereas there was no significant difference between the other two groups. However, all groups have met the standard of bond strength according to international standards organization (ISO) with the appropriate passing rate. The results of this study indicate that the SLM manufacturing method may have the potential to replace traditional techniques for fabricating dental prosthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fit of implant-supported prostheses is of prime importance for the long-term success of implant therapy. PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to evaluate recent evidence on current techniques for assessing implant-framework misfit, its associated strain/stress, and whether these misfits are related to mechanical, biological, and clinical consequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search for publications from January 2010 to October 2020 was performed using the Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases with combined keywords on implant-framework misfit assessments and related clinical complications. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. After full-text analyses, data extraction was implemented on current techniques of misfit assessment and the relationship between the misfit and the induced strain/stress. RESULTS A total of 3 in vivo and 92 in vitro studies were selected, including 47 studies on quantifying the degree of implant-framework misfit with dimensional techniques, 24 studies measuring misfit-induced strain/stress with modeling techniques, and 24 studies using both methods. The technical details, advantages, and limitations of each technique were illustrated. The correlation between the implant-framework misfit and the induced strain/stress has been revealed in vitro, while that with the biological complications and implant/prostheses failure was weak in clinical studies. CONCLUSIONS Dimensional and modeling techniques are available to measure the implant-framework misfit. The passivity of implant-supported fixed prostheses appeared related to the induced strain/stress, but not the clinical complications. Further studies combining three-dimensional (3D) assessments using dimensional and modeling techniques was needed.

Abstract
The precision of fit at the implant-abutment connection is an important criterion for the clinical success of restorations and implants. Several factors are involved among which are the abutment materials and manufacturing techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two materials and methods of manufacturing implant abutments, milled titanium versus laser sintered Co-Cr, on the marginal misfit at the implant-abutment interface. Scanning electron microscopes (SEM) were used to geometrically measure the marginal vertical discrepancy of a total of 80 specimens, classified into eight categories, according to the implant system and abutment. The data were statistically analyzed by Student’s paired t test, one-way and two-way ANOVA with the Bonferroni-Holm correction at the significance level of p = 0.05. Milled titanium abutments demonstrated the lowest misfit values in the implant systems analyzed. The marginal fit of all the groups was within the clinically acceptable range for implant prostheses.

Influence of the CAD-CAM Systems on the Marginal Accuracy and Mechanical Properties of Dental Restorations. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17124276.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the quality of different computer-assisted-design and computer assisted manufacturing systems (CAD-CAM) generated by only one scanner, focusing on vertical fit discrepancies and the mechanical properties. A master model was obtained from a real clinical situation: the replacement of an absent (pontic) tooth, with the construction of a fixed partial denture on natural abutments with three elements. Nine scans were performed by each tested and 36 copies were designed using a dental CAD-CAM software (Exocad). The frameworks were manufactured using three-axis and five-axis, with the same batch of the chrome-cobalt (CrCo) alloy. The frameworks were not cemented. A focus ion beam-high resolution scanning electron microscope (FIB-HRSEM) allowed us to obtain the vertical gap measurements in five points for each specimen. Roughness parameters were measured using white light interferometry (WLI). The samples were mechanically characterized by means of flexural tests. A servo-hydraulic testing machine was used with a cross-head rate of 1 mm/min. One-way ANOVA statistical analysis was performed to determine whether the vertical discrepancies and mechanical properties were significantly different between each group (significance level p < 0.05). The overall mean marginal gap values ranged: from 92.38 ± 19.24 µm to 19.46 ± 10.20 µm, for the samples produced by three-axis and five-axis machines, respectively. Roughness was lower in the five-axis machine than the three-axis one, and as a consequence, the surface quality was better when the five-axis machine was used. These results revealed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.005) in the mean marginal gap between the CAD-CAM systems studied. The flexural strength for these restorations range from 6500 to 7000 N, and does not present any statistical differences’ significance between two CAD-CAM systems studied. This contribution suggests that the number of axes improves vertical fit and surface quality due to the lower roughness. These claims show some discrepancies with other studies.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the fit and assess the accuracy of tooth-supported single and multi-unit FDPs in cobalt chromium fabricated using different manufacturing techniques. Materials and methods A systematic search was performed in three databases; PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using clearly specified search terms and inclusion criteria. The search yielded 1071 articles and included 18 articles in the analysis. Data regarding the fit analyses and the methods of manufacturing were extracted and the accuracy was defined as the fit result minus the pre-set cement spacer. Internal gap (IntG) was the mean of all the internal measuring points and total gap (TotG) was the mean of all measuring points (marginal, cervical, chamfer, axial, occlusal). Results The total gap results for fit and accuracy irrespective of manufacturing technique were 96 μm and 54 μm for single crowns, 107 μm and 54 μm for multi-unit FDPs, and 98 μm and 54 μm for both single crowns and multi-unit FDPs combined. For total gap of single crowns soft milling had the highest accuracy, for multi-unit FDPs additive manufactured restorations had the highest accuracy. With the results grouped by impression technique, the accuracy for total gap was highest for digital impressions and lower for conventional impressions. Conclusions Due to the inherent limitations of this systematic review, it still remains unclear what effect the manufacturing technique has on the fit of FDPs. However, the descriptive results suggest that the marginal fit of cobalt chromium FDPs is not negatively affected by the manufacturing technique.

Abstract
Objective
Framework patterns can be formed using various materials such as wax, acrylic resin, or composite. Frameworks can be fabricated using either conventional or computerized techniques, using additive or subtractive method. This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of metal copings fabricated by two computerized technologies (milling and rapid prototyping) and additive conventional methods using different materials.
Materials and Methods
Seventy-two fixture analogs were mounted vertically in acrylic resin. One-piece abutments with 5.5 mm in length and 6 degrees of convergence were secured into the analogs. The experimental frameworks were fabricated using either subtractive CAD/CAM milling (by wax, soft or hard metal), additive rapid prototyping (by wax), or conventional pattern fabrication (by wax [control] or acrylic resin). Wax and acrylic resin patterns were casted in Ni-Cr alloy. Marginal discrepancy was measured in 12 points by video measuring machine.
Statistical Analysis
One-way ANOVA and posthoc tests were used to detect any significant difference among the groups at α= 0.05.
Results
There was a statistically significant difference among the marginal discrepancy of six groups (
p
= 0.018). The Tukey test indicated a significant difference between CAD/milling of soft metal and conventional wax pattern groups (
p
= 0.011); a significant difference was also reported between CAD/milling of wax patterns and control group (
p
= 0.046).
Conclusions
Frameworks fabricated by conventional wax-up showed the largest marginal gaps, while the marginal gap created by frameworks made of soft metal CAD/milling were the smallest. In addition, frameworks fabricated by rapid prototyping showed clinically acceptable adaptations.

A Comparison Study of Marginal and Internal Fit Assessment Methods for Fixed Dental Prostheses. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8060785. [PMID: 31159460 PMCID: PMC6617221 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8060785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2019] [Revised: 05/27/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Numerous studies have previously evaluated the marginal and internal fit of fixed prostheses; however, few reports have performed an objective comparison of the various methods used for their assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare five marginal and internal fit assessment methods for fixed prostheses. A specially designed sample was used to measure the marginal and internal fit of the prosthesis according to the cross-sectional method (CSM), silicone replica technique (SRT), triple scan method (TSM), micro-computed tomography (MCT), and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The five methods showed significant differences in the four regions that were assessed (p < 0.001). The marginal, axial, angle, and occlusal regions showed low mean values: CSM (23.2 µm), TSM (56.3 µm), MCT (84.3 µm), and MCT (102.6 µm), respectively. The marginal fit for each method was in the range of 23.2-83.4 µm and internal fit (axial, angle, and occlusal) ranged from 44.8-95.9 µm, 84.3-128.6 µm, and 102.6-140.5 µm, respectively. The marginal and internal fit showed significant differences depending on the method. Even if the assessment values of the marginal and internal fit are found to be in the allowable clinical range, the differences in the values according to the method should be considered.
