Chen R, Lin Y, Sun Y, Pan X, Xu Y, Kong X, Zhang L. Full-mouth rehabilitation with lithium disilicate ceramic crowns in hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta: a case report and review of literature. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:1139. [PMID: 39334018 PMCID: PMC11437823 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04929-9] [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: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by tooth discoloration and enamel defects. Patients with AI always exhibit generalized attrition and defective tooth structure, leading to the loss of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Appropriate rehabilitation is challenging and essential to improve patients' aesthetics and function. CASE PRESENTATION This case report presents a comprehensive management of a 30-year-old woman with hypoplastic AI. A 52-month follow-up revealed satisfactory full-mouth rehabilitation performances of lithium disilicate ceramic crowns after clinical crown lengthening, with increased vertical dimension. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe hypoplastic AI require proper full-mouth rehabilitation. Using full-crown lithium disilicate restorations to increase the OVD by 2‒4 mm is a safe and predictable recommendation for such cases. In addition, patients with AI require complex and comprehensive management. The long-term effects of full-mouth rehabilitation with lithium disilicate ceramic crowns still necessitate further follow-ups.

The Effect of Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) Nanoparticles Addition on the Mechanical Parameters of Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Experimental Studies. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14051047. [PMID: 35267870 PMCID: PMC8914807 DOI: 10.3390/polym14051047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The number of studies on the subject of effects of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles addition on the mechanical parameters of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is still very limited. Therefore, in this research, the authors wanted to assess PMMA modified with the nano-ZrO2 additive in terms of changes in flexural, impact and tensile strength values in relation to PMMA without such component. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the effect of incorporating nano-ZrO2 into PMMA on individual types of material strength. The obtained numerical data were tabulated and analyzed in the search for percentage changes in those parameters. It was then calculated for each set and the procured model was examined using residual sum of squares (RSS) to assess the discrepancy between the data and the estimation model whilst mean absolute deviation (MAD) was employed to determine robustness. The results of the systematic review were composed of data obtained from individual studies presented in eight independent articles. Overall, the addition of nano-ZrO2 increases the flexural strength of the composite with the PMMA matrix depending on the size of the ZrO2 grains administered. Unfortunately, these conclusions are based on a very limited amount of research and require further verification, especially regarding tensile strength.
