Abstract
The application of sintered calcium phosphate dental inserts in the central part of tooth cavities can reduce amount of embedded dental composite and polymerization shrinkage of final dental fillings. The aim of this study was to analyze comparatively physico-chemical and mechanical properties of dental inserts and shear bond strength (SBS) between three dissimilar hydroxyapatite-based dental inserts and different restorative materials, after application of different clinical protocols. Starting from two different hydroxyapatite nano powders and nanostructured stabilized zirconia (YSZ), monophasic two-step sintered dense HAp inserts (TSSHAp), biphasic single-step sintered controlled porous inserts (HAp/TCp), and single-step sintered reinforced HAp/YSZ inserts were processed and characterized. Obvious differences in the microstructure of inserts surface were visualized after etching with 37% phosphoric acid. Fracture toughness of sintered inserts was ranged between 1.01 and 1.85 MPam1/2 (maximum value in the case of HAp/YSZ), while hardness values were in the range of 3.71-5.22 GPa (maximum value in the case of TSSHAp). Acid etching before application improved SBS between inserts and Maxcem compared to direct cement application. TSSHAp and HAP/TCp inserts showed comparable and relatively high SBS values, certainly higher compared to HAp/YSZ inserts. Slightly higher SBS values were measured in the case of TSSHAp insert group, and the highest mean SBS value of 18.51 MPa was determined between TSSHAp inserts and Filtek Z250_SBU following the "self-etch" protocol.

Cementation of Glass-Ceramic Posterior Restorations: A Systematic Review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:148954. [PMID: 26557651 PMCID: PMC4628770 DOI: 10.1155/2015/148954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2015] [Revised: 07/23/2015] [Accepted: 08/05/2015] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Aim. The aim of this comprehensive review is to systematically
organize the current knowledge regarding the cementation of glass-ceramic
materials and restorations, with an additional focus on the benefits of Immediate
Dentin Sealing (IDS). Materials and Methods. An extensive literature
search concerning the cementation of single-unit glass-ceramic posterior restorations
was conducted in the databases of MEDLINE (Pubmed), CENTRAL (Cochrane Central
Register of Controlled Trials), and EMBASE. To be considered for inclusion,
in vitro and in vivo studies should compare different
cementation regimes involving a “glass-ceramic/cement/human tooth” complex.
Results and Conclusions. 88 studies were included in total.
The in vitro data were organized according to the following topics:
(micro)shear and (micro)tensile bond strength, fracture strength, and marginal gap
and integrity. For in vivo studies survival and quality of survival
were considered. In vitro studies showed that adhesive systems
(3-step, etch-and-rinse) result in the best (micro)shear bond strength values compared
to self-adhesive and self-etch systems when luting glass-ceramic substrates
to human dentin. The highest fracture strength is obtained with adhesive cements
in particular. No marked clinical preference for one specific procedure could be
demonstrated on the basis of the reviewed literature. The possible merits of IDS
are most convincingly illustrated by the favorable microtensile bond strengths.
No clinical studies regarding IDS were found.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Failure of a restoration, where a part of a ceramic inlay and/or a cusp is fractured, is a common clinical problem. The application of fiber-reinforced composites at the tooth-inlay interface may prevent undesirable fractures in dental restorations. There is little information regarding the effect of a fiber- reinforced composite layer on the push-out bond strength of ceramic inlays to tooth structure. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare push-out bond strengths of ceramic inlays to tooth structure using a layer of fiber weave-reinforced composite at the tooth interface with different adhesive systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty standardized occlusal, conically-shaped cavities, 5 mm in occlusal diameter, 3.5 mm in cervical diameter and 3.5 mm deep, were prepared in extracted human molars using a truncated cone-shaped diamond rotary cutting instrument, the dimensions of which corresponded with those of prefabricated ceramic inlays. The teeth were divided into 2 groups according to the adhesive system used. Solobond Plus was used as a total-etching system and Futurabond NR as a self-etching system. Preetched and silanized ceramic inlays were bonded to tooth structure with or without a layer of bidirectional fiber weave (StickTech). The groups without fiber-reinforced composite layer served as controls. The inlays were cemented with dual-polymerizing luting composite (Bifix QM) and light polymerized for 40 seconds from the buccal, lingual, and occlusal surfaces. Specimens were thermal cycled (6000 x 5 degrees -55 degrees C) and 3.5-mm-thick discs were prepared for the push-out test. The discs (n=10) were tested in a universal testing machine and pushed out with a cross-head speed of 1.0 mm/min. The data were analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA) (alpha=.05). Failure modes were analyzed using a stereomicroscope and SEM. RESULTS Push-out mean bond strength (SD) values in MPa of direct ceramic inlays were: Solobond Plus (control): 9.7 (3.9), Solobond Plus with fiber-reinforced composite: 10.5 (5.0), Futurabond NR (control): 8.4 (2.5), Futurabond NR with fiber-reinforced composite: 8.6 (2.2). The differences between groups were not significant for either adhesive system or with the use of fiber-reinforced composite layer at the interface. Mixed failures were observed in the control groups, whereas in the fiber-reinforced composite layer groups, failures were mostly cohesive within the fiber layer. No cohesive fracture of the tooth was observed when a layer of fiber weave was placed at the interface. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this in vitro study, a fiber-reinforced composite layer at the bonding interface of ceramic inlay did not influence the push-out bond strength. Futurabond NR self-etching system and Solobond Plus total-etching system demonstrated similar push-out bond strengths.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the marginal behavior of class-II double surface fillings made with newly designed light transmitting inserts. These inserts guide the polymerization light directly into the body of the filling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty standardized two-surface cavities have been prepared into freshly extracted human molars and filled with Herculite XRV. Fifteen cavities were filled using the incremental technique (positive control group), 15 were filled with one single increment (negative control group) and 15 teeth each were filled with light conducting inserts with and without use of the light conducting system. Before and after thermomechanical stressing in a chewing simulator (50,000x50N and 2000 cycles between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C), the amount of perfect margin was measured by quantitative margin analysis using a SEM. Additionally, following dye penetration (24h, 0.1% methylene blue), all teeth were cut in the mesio-distal direction and the amount of penetration was measured. RESULTS The group with light transmitting inserts showed 79.8% perfect margin, the positive control group 68.0%, the group with inactive inserts 65.4% and the negative control group 57.8%. MANOVA showed a strong effect (p<0.001) on the parameters group and thermocycling. The results from dye penetration were similar. SIGNIFICANCE Light conducting inserts seem to have a positive effect on the marginal integrity of class-II composite fillings. Results show that this effect is produced by the internal light conductor and not volumetric effect alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate microleakage around Class V glass-ceramic restorations of different coefficients of thermal expansion after prolonged thermal cycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty noncarious extracted human premolars (patient age range 12-20 years) were randomly assigned to three groups. Standard Class V preparations were cut in the buccal surface using customised Cerana burs, size no. 3. Glass-ceramic inserts from two manufacturers (Cerana, Nordiska Dental AB, Helsingborg, Sweden; Beta-Quartz, Hager & Werken GmbH, Duisburg, Germany) were used to restore the cavities and were luted with a hybrid, high-viscous composite (Tetric Ceram, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and a bonding agent (Excite, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein). A control group, without inserts, was bulk-filled with the same composite used as the luting agent. In accordance with American Dental Association guidelines, half of the preparation was in enamel, half in dentine/cementum and had a mesio-distal width of 3 mm, an occluso-gingival height of 3 mm, and a depth of 2 mm. All margins had butt joints. Sixty teeth, selected at random, were not thermal cycled; the remaining 60 teeth were thermal cycled 4000 times between water baths held at 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C and the specimens prepared and examined for microleakage using 2.0% Procion Red (ICI, Slough, UK) dye, buffered at pH7, as a marker. The results were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (ANOVA) at a 95% significance level. RESULTS At the occlusal margins there was no significant difference in microleakage between the three groups (P>0.5) without thermal cycling. After thermal cycling, microleakage at the occlusal margins was significantly less around cavities restored with Cerana glass-ceramic inserts versus Beta-Quartz and Tetric Ceram (P<0.05 in both cases). At the gingival margins, there was no significant difference in microleakge between the groups before thermal cycling (P>0.5). After thermal cycling, there was significantly less microleakage between Cerana inserts and Tetric Ceram (P<0.05). Comparisons between non-thermal cycled and thermal cycled groups showed there was no significant difference with the Cerana inserts (P=0.5590). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The results indicate that, after thermal cycling, restorations restored with Cerana glass-ceramic inserts, which have a coefficient of thermal expansion approximating to that of enamel, show a decrease in marginal microleakage, compared with Beta-Quartz glass-ceramic inserts and Tetric Ceram resin-based composite material. Restorative materials, which have a coefficient of thermal expansion approximating to that of enamel, would seem to be the materials of choice in reducing the problem of marginal microleakege.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-visit system ceramic restorations are now in use to provide an alternative to resin-based materials. Inserts have been shown to improve characteristics of composite restorations. OBJECTIVE To investigate the longevity of Cerana (Nordiska Dental, Sweden) in a prospective clinical trial. METHODS Cerana restorations use matched drills with pre-etched and silanated leucite inserts cemented using a conventional restorative composite resin material. The results of 33 Cerana restorations up to eight years (25 Class I, eight class II) are presented. Restorations were reviewed and assessed by two examiners using modified USPHS criteria for anatomical form (AF) A-C, marginal adaptation (MA) A-D, surface roughness (SR) A-D, marginal discoloration (MD) A-C, colour match (CM) A-C and discomfort (DT) A-D as well as retention. RESULTS The percentage of A scores for AF, MA, SR, MD, CM and DT at baseline (n = 33) were: 100, 100, 79, 100, 21, 100; after two years (n = 27) 100, 85, 33, 100, 19, 100 and after four years (n = 24) 96, 75, 17, 96, 25, 100. At six years (n = 20) 95, 70, 10, 95, 15, 100 and finally at the eight year recall (n = 18) 94, 61, 0, 94, 6, 100. AF was maintained in all except for one fractured marginal ridge. MA of the insert was good but composite was lost where exposed. SR increased to a B score for all inserts. MD at B grade was observed in 6% between composite and tooth but none between insert and composite. CM was stable in all cases. DT nil in all. There were no scores less than B. All reviewed restorations were retained, clinically acceptable and in function except for two lost for reasons not directly related to the Cerana insert. One class II restoration had a fractured marginal ridge but otherwise remains satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that these restorations can be expected to perform well. Cerana is acceptable in terms of aesthetics, patient acceptance, occlusal wear and ease of use and is a good alternative for a single-visit, tooth coloured restoration in suitable cavity shapes.

Abstract
The push-out bond strength of cylindrical ceramic inserts (CI) to particulate filler resin composite (VC) was evaluated in this study. Various surface treatments to improve the adhesion of CI to resin composite were tested. Additionally, the effect of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) laminate encapsulation around CI was tested. Feldspathic porcelain CI with a diameter of 3.1 mm was bonded to VC. Adhesive resin was used for bonding. In group 1, no surface treatment of CI was done. In group 2, CI was encapsulated with a thin layer of woven glass FRC. In group 3, the surface of the CI was tribochemically silica coated and silanized. In group 4, the surface of the CI was grit-blasted with 50 microm aluminum oxide and etched with hydrofluoric acid. In group 5, the grit-blasted CI was encapsulated with a layer of FRC. The specimens (n = 6/group) were either dry stored or thermocycled in water (6000 x 5-55 degrees C). The push-out test was carried out with a universal material testing machine. The highest push-out strength was achieved in group 5 (20.4 MPa) and the lowest in group 2 (11.5 MPa). ANOVA revealed that both surface treatment and storage condition had a significant effect on push-out strength (p < 0.05). We conclude that the additional glass FRC encapsulation can be used to increase the bond strength of insert to composite.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate microleakage around Class V resin restorations restored with glass-ceramic inserts luted with a high-viscous composite resin or a flowable composite resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty extracted human premolars (patient age range 12-18 yr) were randomly assigned to four groups. Class V preparations in two groups were filled using a glass-ceramic insert (Megafiller Standardformen, Hager Werken GmbH, Duisburg, Germany) luted with either a hybrid, high-viscous composite (Tetric, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and a bonding agent (Excite, Ivoclar Vivadent) or a flowable composite (Crystal-Essence, Confi-Dental, Louisville, CO, USA) and a bonding agent (Confi-Quick, Confi-Dental). Two groups without inserts served as controls and were bulk filled with either a hybrid, high-viscous composite (Tetric) or a flowable composite (Crystal-Essence). The preparations were made with a no. 330 tungsten carbide fissure bur (Komet, Lemgo, Germany) in a water-cooled, high-speed handpiece with a mesiodistal width of 3 mm, an occlusogingival height of 3 mm, and a depth of 2 mm. All margins had butt joints. The teeth were thermocycled for 24 hours in water baths held at 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C, and the specimens were prepared and examined for microleakage using basic fuchsin as a marker. Relative leakage was recorded according to the extent of dye penetration on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no dye penetration and 4 indicating that dye penetration had progressed as far as the cavity floor. The results were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (nonparametric analysis of variance) and Dunn's multiple comparisons test (p < .05). RESULTS There was no significant difference in microleakage around inserts luted with a high-viscous composite occlusally (p = .7563) or gingivally (p = .6187) and around cavities bulk filled with the high-viscous composite. There was a significant difference in microleakage around inserts luted with a flowable composite both occlusally (p = .0345) and gingivally (p = .0285) and around cavities bulk filled with the flowable composite. Inserts luted with the flowable composite showed significantly less microleakage than those cemented with the high-viscous material only at the gingival margins (p = .0345). Comparisons of microleakage around the high-viscous and flowable composites showed no significant difference in microleakage at either the occlusal or gingival margins (Dunn's multiple comparisons test p > .5 in all cases). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE In Class V preparations of the size cut in the present study, ceramic inserts are shown to be of value in reducing microleakage when compared with bulk filling with flowable composites. Microleakage was not significantly improved by using a ceramic insert with a viscous composite compared with the viscous composite alone.

Abstract
summary Ceramic inserts are reported to possibly reduce polymerization shrinkage for posterior resin composite fillings. The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of different insert systems before and after thermomechanical loading. Sixty sound human third molars received occlusomesial Class II cavities, 40 with proximal margins 2 mm above and 20 with proximal margins 1 mm below the cementum-enamel junction. The specimens were randomly assigned to one of the six experimental groups (n = 10). The enamel-bordered cavities were restored with Syntac classic and Tetric Ceram (ST), Syntac classic, Tetric Ceram and beta-quartz inserts (TB), Syntac classic, Tetric Ceram and Cerana inserts (TC), Syntac classic, Tetric flow and SonicSys approx inserts (TS). The dentin-limited cavities were filled with Syntac classic and Tetic Ceram (DT), Syntac classic, Tetric flow and SonicSys approx inserts (DS). Before and after thermomechanical loading (100 000 x 50 N, 2500 x 5 degrees C/55 degrees C), replicas were made and both interfaces tooth/composite and insert/composite were examined under a scanning electron microscope at 200x. The Cerana and SonicSys insert groups showed significantly less gaps in enamel (P < 0.05). With beta-quartz inserts, no reduction of gaps was found (P > 0.05). Marginal integrity in dentine-bordered specimens could not be improved with SonicSys inserts (P > 0.05). The bonding performance insert/composite was promising for all IPS Empress inserts (Cerana, SonicSys enamel) but worse for beta-quartz inserts. Regarding gap formation between resin composite and tooth, Cerana and SonicSys inserts significantly reduced gaps. The use of SonicSys inserts in deep proximal cavities cannot be recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of the different viscosities of two resin luting cements on microleakage of ceramic inlays at dentinal margins. The effect of the width of the space between inlay and tooth, on the quality of the marginal seal was also investigated. METHODS Mesial and distal class V cavities were prepared in 48 extracted third molars. The incisal margins of the cavities were in enamel and the cervical margins in dentin. Subsequently, Empress inlays with different cervical margin gap dimensions were fabricated. The mean cervical gap dimensions in the respective groups were as follows: group 1 (27 microm); group 2 (232 microm); group 3 (406 microm). Half the inlays in each group (16) were cemented with a low viscous resin luting cement, and half (16) with a highly viscous resin luting cement. The teeth were subjected to occlusal loading with synchronized thermal cycling in a masticatory simulator. Then, the specimens were immersed in basic fuchsin solution, and dye penetration along the cavity walls was measured. In addition, marginal adaptation was analyzed in the SEM at baseline and after loading, using a replica technique. RESULTS With regard to dye penetration at dentinal margins, the highly viscous cement performed statistically significantly better at dentin/composite margins than the low viscous cement (p=0.0158). These findings are supported by SEM analysis. SIGNIFICANCE It is assumed that polymerization stress within the luting cement could not be completely compensated for by larger luting spaces. Highly viscous luting cements are recommended for cementing class V inlays in larger luting spaces.
