A prospective observational study. BDJ Open 2024; 10:54. [PMID: 38902278 PMCID: PMC11190277 DOI: 10.1038/s41405-024-00214-7] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of zirconia-based prostheses used for tooth-supported or implant-supported single crowns and fixed dental prostheses (FPD). METHODS The authors conducted a prospective analysis of 562 zirconia core restorations supported by endodontically treated teeth or titanium implant in 276 patients in a general dental private practice, with a follow-up period of 15 years. The study was stopped after patients achieved 15 yrs of follow-up. The study analyzed the failure and complication rates of single and multiple crowns, based on Kaplan Meier analysis. RESULTS During follow-up period, there were 26 complications and 156 failures. The crown level analysis revealed a cumulative failure rate of 28.33% and complication rate of 8.47% for zirconia crowns after 15 years. The complication rate was found to be higher for titanium implant-supported than for natural teeth-supported crowns. The different types of crown-based failure include: veener fracture 5.01% (N = 29), metal zirconia led to 14.85% (N = 86) loss of retention, and 1.73% (N = 10) loss of crown due to extraction. CONCLUSION Based on these findings, zirconia core restorations appear to be a reliable long-term solution for crowns and fixed dental prostheses. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The study suggests that zirconia restorations can be successfully used for long-term prostheses on natural teeth or implants supported. The study results provide clinicians valuable information when selecting prosthetic restorations material.

In vitro assessment of the effect of luting agents, abutment height, and fatigue on the retention of zirconia crowns luted to titanium base implant abutments. J Prosthet Dent 2023; 130:739.e1-739.e8. [PMID: 37684141 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.07.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The bonding of implant-supported prostheses is determined by abutment material, convergence angle, height, surface treatment, and luting agents. However, studies evaluating the bonding of luting agents to titanium base abutments with different heights under fatigue conditions are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the retention of zirconia crowns bonded with different luting agents to titanium base abutments of different heights before and after fatigue testing. MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia crowns were designed, milled, and distributed into 4 experimental groups according to the luting agents (G-Multi Primer/G-Cem LinkForce [MP/GC] and Scotchbond Universal/RelyX Ultimate [SU/RU]) and titanium base abutment heights (2.5 mm and 4 mm) (n=10). Pull-out testing was performed in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until crown displacement. Fatigue testing was performed by an electric precision fatigue simulator (1×106 cycles; 100 N; and 15 Hz), followed by pull-out testing of fatigued specimens. Collected data were statistically evaluated by using a linear mixed model after post hoc comparisons by the least significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS Luting agents, abutment heights, and fatigue influenced the bonding retention of zirconia crowns to titanium base abutments. SU/RU agents promoted higher pull-out compared with MP/GC for both abutment heights before and after fatigue. Higher abutment height increased pull-out regarding lower abutment height for SU/RU materials before and after fatigue testing. Although fatigue had no significant effect on the pull-out of MP/GC, lower bond retention was observed for SU/RU after fatigue, regardless of abutment height. CONCLUSIONS Luting agent composition and the interaction with abutment height and fatigue influenced the retention of zirconia crowns to titanium base abutments.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2023; 25:107-117. [PMID: 36415012 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13157] [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: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Zirconia abutments have been widely adopted in clinical implant practice. The unique mechanical properties of zirconia may significantly affect the long-term prognosis of implant treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of abutment material on implant deformation and fracture resistance of internal conical connection implant-abutment complexes of two diameters after standardized artificial aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty original abutments (one-piece titanium, one-piece zirconia, zirconia with alloy base) with two diameters (regular, narrow) were connected to internal conical connection implants and subjected to a standardized artificial aging process consisting of thermal cycling and mechanical cyclic loading. Microcomputed tomography (μCT) scans of implant bodies were performed before and after aging. 3-dimensional images of implant bodies were generated from the μCT scans and aligned for before and after aging to calculate the volumetric deformation amount. Finally, fracture resistance was measured using a mechanical static loading test for the surviving aged and 30 brand-new specimens. RESULTS All specimens survived artificial aging. No significant difference in implant deformation was found in the regular groups (p = 0.095). In narrow groups, the one-piece zirconia group showed significantly less deformation (p < 0.0001). For fracture resistance, no significant decrease was observed after aging in any group (p > 0.05). One-piece zirconia abutments showed significantly lower strength than the other two materials for both diameters (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS In the regular diameter system, abutment material had no significant influence on the tested mechanical property degradation after simulated long-term oral use. The mechanical performance of narrow diameter one-piece zirconia abutments differed from the other two materials. For optimal performance, one-piece zirconia abutments should be adopted only in anterior regions.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia abutments have become popular as they provide favorable esthetic outcomes. However, studies investigating how abutment material affects abutment screw torque performance and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection systems are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of abutment material on abutment removal torque and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection implant-abutment assemblies of 2 diameters after simulated long-term oral use. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty abutments of 3 materials (1-piece titanium, 1-piece zirconia, zirconia with alloy base) and 2 diameters (regular, narrow) made by the original manufacturer were connected to internal conical connection implants and subjected to a standardized artificial aging process consisting of thermal cycling and mechanical cyclic loading with parameters corresponding to anterior and posterior mastication scenarios simulating long-term oral use. An abutment removal torque test was done before and after aging. Morphological changes in the implant conical contact surface were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Initial and after-aging torque loss values were calculated and analyzed separately with 1-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests (α=.05). RESULTS All specimens survived artificial aging. For initial and after-aging torque loss, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed significantly greater values (P<.001) for both diameters. In the SEM observation, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed distinct widespread surface damage while the other groups exhibited only minor damages. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of diameter, 1-piece zirconia abutments tend to induce more abutment removal torque loss and implant conical surface morphological changes than those with metal connections, both initially and after simulated long-term oral use. Zirconia abutments with an alloy base performed similarly to 1-piece titanium abutments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the failure load and failure mode of a novel implant-crown interface specifically designed for the fabrication of fully personalized, abutment-free monolithic zirconia CAD-CAM crowns compared to conventional implant-abutment interfaces involving prefabricated or centrally manufactured abutments for zirconia CAD-CAM crowns. METHODS Implants (N=48) were divided into groups (n=12) according to different implant-abutment interface designs: (1) internal implant connection with personalized, abutment-free CAD-CAM crowns (Abut-Free-Zr), (2) internal conical connection with customized, centrally manufactured zirconia CAD-CAM abutments (Cen-Abut-Zr), (3) prefabricated titanium base abutments from manufacturer 1 (Ti-Base-1), (4) additional prefabricated titanium base abutments from manufacturer 2 (Ti-Base-2). All specimens were restored with a screw-retained monolithic zirconia CAD-CAM molar crown and subjected to thermomechanical aging (1.200.000 cycles, 49 N, 1.67 Hz, 30° angulation, thermocycling 5-50°C). Static load until failure was applied in a universal testing machine. Failure modes were analyzed descriptively under digital microscope. Mean failure load values were statistically analyzed at a significance level of p<0.05. RESULTS All specimens survived thermomechanical aging. The mean failure loads varied between 1332 N (Abut-Free-Zr) and 1601 N (Ti-Base-2), difference being significant between these groups (p<0.05). No differences between the other groups were seen. The predominant failure mode per group was crown fracture above implant connection (Abut-Free-Zr, 75%), abutment fracture below implant neck (Cen-Abut-Zr, 83%), crown fracture leaving an intact abutment (Ti-Base-1/Ti-Base-2 100%). CONCLUSIONS Implant-crown interface with fully personalized, abutment-free monolithic CAD-CAM zirconia crowns exhibited similar failure loads as conventional implant-abutment interfaces (except group Ti-Base-2) involving CAD-CAM crowns with prefabricated or centrally manufactured abutment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The new implant connection simplifies the digital workflow for all-ceramic implant reconstructions. The specific design of the implant-crown interface allows the fabrication of fully personalized, abutment-free zirconia implant crowns both in-house and in-laboratory without the need of a prefabricated abutment or central manufacturing.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The design of the implant-abutment connection has been widely researched, but the impact of different crown-abutment geometries remains unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different crown-abutment margin geometries on the mechanical behavior and fit of screw-retained implant-supported single-crown restorations by using mechanical static and fatigue tests and mastication simulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 45 cobalt-chromium premolar-shaped metal frameworks were fabricated for single-unit implant-supported screw-retained restorations on stock abutments and internal hexagon Ø4.25×11-mm cylindrical implants. They were divided into 3 groups according to margin geometry: S, shoulder; C, chamfer; and F, feather-edge. Three static load until fracture and 24 dynamic load tests were performed by using the International Organization for Standardization 14801:2016 standard (ISO 14801:2016) (number of cycles limit: 5×106 cycles, frequency: 6 Hz). The ProFatigue software program was used to optimize the procedure (S, n=12 specimens; C, n=7 specimens; and F, n=5 specimens). Six additional specimens from each group were subjected to a mastication simulation (limit number of cycles: 1×106 cycles, cyclic loading from Pmin=30 N to Pmax=300 N, frequency: 6 Hz). Results from the fatigue tests were reported descriptively, and the Fisher exact test was used to analyze the difference in failure modes. Data from maximum misfit were evaluated by photogrammetry and statistically analyzed with the Anderson-Darling test and the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn multiple comparison tests (α=.05). RESULTS The fatigue limit was 456 N for group S, 512 N for group C, and 514 N for group F. The mean ±standard deviation misfit was 2.6 ±0.1 μm for group S, 3.8 ±1.1 μm for group C, and 3.6 ±0.8 μm for group F. Differences in misfit between groups S and C and between groups S and F were statistically significant (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Crown-abutment connections with chamfer and feather-edge margins showed better mechanical behavior, while shoulder margin exhibited better fit. However, high levels of fit were achieved for all the evaluated geometries.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior, stress distributions and bone microstrain of fixed partial dentures (FPD) with ceramic abutments supported on monotype zirconia implants, titanium implants and two-piece zirconia implants, using finite element analysis. A three-dimensional model of the jaw was simulated containing 1.0 mm thick cortical bone and cancellous bone tissue. A FPD and implant models (4.1 x 10 mm) were modeled containing a cement-retained implant abutment. These models were replicated in three groups with similar geometries: Titanium Implant and Zirconia Abutment (Ti-Zr); Zirconia Implant and Zirconia Abutment (Zr-Zr) and Monotype Zirconia Implant (Zr-S). An axial load of 300 N was applied to the center of the first premolar. The microstrain (με) and the Von-Mises stress (MPa) were assumed as failures criteria. For the three groups, a higher stress concentration was observed in the region of FPD connectors. The Ti-Zr group showed a higher stress concentration in the prosthesis and implant when compared to the other groups. However, the smaller elastic modulus of the titanium implant, in relation to the zirconia, provided a lower stress in the abutment and in the prosthetic screw. The monotype implant system allowed a more homogeneous stress distribution and its strain were predominantly located in the cervical region of the peri-implant bone tissue. Monotype or two-piece zirconia implants can be used for rehabilitation with FPD. However, the absence of separation between implant and abutment in the monotype system avoids the stress concentration in the prosthetic screw and reduced the peri-implant bone strain.

Abstract
Robotics is a disruptive technology that will change diagnostics and treatment protocols in dental medicine. Robots can perform repeated workflows for an indefinite length of time while enhancing the overall quality and quantity of patient care. Early robots required a human operator, but robotic systems have advanced significantly over the past decade, and the latest medical robots can perform patient intervention or remote monitoring autonomously. However, little research data on the therapeutic reliability and precision of autonomous robots are available. The present paper reviews the promise and practice of robots in dentistry by evaluating published work on commercial robot systems in dental implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthetic and restorative dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, oral radiology as well as dental education. In conclusion, this review critically addresses the current limitations of dental robotics and anticipates the potential future impact on oral healthcare and the dental profession.

Abstract
Surface modification using bioactive molecules is frequently performed to improve the biological properties of medical metal biomaterial titanium (Ti) implants. Developmental evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) served as potent bioactive component. As a subset of MSC-EV, adipose-derived stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ADSC-EVs) could be obtained from abundant adipose tissue. Meanwhile, it possesses multiple regenerative properties and might be used to endow biological activities to medical Ti implant. Here, we present a simple ADSC-EV coating strategy based on physisorption of fibronectin. This ADSC-EV functionalized Ti implants (EV-Ti) revealed enhanced osteoblast compatibility and osteoinductive activity. Cell spreading area of EV-Ti group was 1.62- and 1.48-fold larger than that of Ti group after 6 and 12 h of cell seeding, respectively. Moreover, EV-Ti promoted alkaline phosphatase, collagen 1 and osteocalcin gene expression in osteoblast by 1.51-, 1.68- and 1.82-fold compared with pristine Ti, respectively. Thus, the MSC-EVs modification method reported here provide a clinically translatable strategy to promote the bioactivity of Ti implants.

Dentronics: Towards robotics and artificial intelligence in dentistry. Dent Mater 2020; 36:765-778. [PMID: 32349877 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 03/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This paper provides an overview of existing applications and concepts of robotic systems and artificial intelligence in dentistry. This review aims to provide the community with novel inputs and argues for an increased utilization of these recent technological developments, referred to as Dentronics, in order to advance dentistry. METHODS First, background on developments in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are reviewed that may enable novel assistive applications in dentistry (Sec A). Second, a systematic technology review that evaluates existing state-of-the-art applications in AI, ML and robotics in the context of dentistry is presented (Sec B). RESULTS A systematic literature research in pubmed yielded in a total of 558 results. 41 studies related to ML, 53 studies related to AI and 49 original research papers on robotics application in dentistry were included. ML and AI have been applied in dental research to analyze large amounts of data to eventually support dental decision making, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning with the help of data-driven analysis algorithms based on machine learning. So far, only few robotic applications have made it to reality, mostly restricted to pilot use cases. SIGNIFICANCE The authors believe that dentistry can greatly benefit from the current rise of digital human-centered automation and be transformed towards a new robotic, ML and AI-enabled era. In the future, Dentronics will enhance reliability, reproducibility, accuracy and efficiency in dentistry through the democratized use of modern dental technologies, such as medical robot systems and specialized artificial intelligence. Dentronics will increase our understanding of disease pathogenesis, improve risk-assessment-strategies, diagnosis, disease prediction and finally lead to better treatment outcomes.
