Statement of problem

The best procedure for cementing a restoration to zirconia implants has not yet been established.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to measure the retention of polymer-infiltrated ceramic crowns to zirconia 1-piece implants using a wide range of cements. The effect of ceramic primer treatment on the retention force was also recorded. The retention results were correlated with the shear bond strength of the cement to zirconia and the indirect tensile strength of the cements to better understand the retention mechanism.

Material and methods

The retention test was performed using 100 polymer-infiltrated ceramic crowns (Vita Enamic) and zirconia implants (ceramic.implant CI) The crowns were cemented with either interim cement (Harvard Implant semipermanent, Temp Bond), glass-ionomer cement (Ketac Cem), self-adhesive cement (Perma Cem 2.0, RelyX Unicem Automix 2, Panavia SA), or adhesive cement (Multilink Implant, Multilink Automix, Vita Adiva F-Cem, RelyX Ultimate, Panavia F 2.0, Panavia V5 or Panavia 21) (n=5). Additionally ceramic primer was applied on the intaglio crown surface and implant abutment before cementation for all adhesive cements (Multilink Implant, Multilink Automix: Monobond plus; RelyX Ultimate Scotchbond Universal; Vita Adiva F-Cem: Vita Adiva Zr-Prime; Panavia F2.0, Panavia V5: Clearfil Ceramic Primer) and 1 self-adhesive cement containing 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) (Panavia SA: Clearfil Ceramic Primer). Crown debond fracture patterns were recorded. Shear bond strength was determined for the respective cement groups to polished zirconia (n=6). The diametral tensile strength of the cements was measured (n=10). Statistical analysis was performed using 1-way or 2-way analysis of variance followed by the Fisher LSD test (α=.05) within each test parameter.

Results

Adhesive and self-adhesive resin cements had shear bond strength values of 0.0 to 5.3 MPa and revealed similar retention forces. Cements containing MDP demonstrated shear bond strength values above 5.3 MPa and displayed increased retention. The highest retention values were recorded for Panavia F 2.0 (318 ±28 N) and Panavia 21 (605 ±82 N). All other adhesive and self-adhesive resin cements attained retention values between 222 ±16 N (Multilink Automix) and 270 ±26 N (Panavia SA), which were significantly higher (P<.05) than glass-ionomer (Ketac Cem: 196 ±34 N) or interim cement (Harvard Implant semipermanent: 43 ±6 N, Temp Bond: 127 ±13 N). Application of manufacturer-specific ceramic primer increased crown retention significantly only for Panavia SA.

Conclusions

Products containing MDP provided a high chemical bond to zirconia. Self-adhesive and adhesive resin cements with low chemical bonding capabilities to zirconia provided retention force values within a small range (220 to 290 N).  相似文献

Adhesive cementation is a useful procedure not only for cementing restorations onto teeth but also for attaching new ceramic restorations to existing restorations to improve their esthetics and/or function. This clinical report presents a technique for modifying an existing nonsatisfactory implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis by means of adhesively cemented veneers and onlays bonded to the pre-existing metal-ceramic surface with resin cement. This modification may avoid the replacement of the fixed dental prosthesis, reducing both treatment costs and time while fulfilling the patient’s demands.  相似文献

Fractured implant abutment screws can be retrieved with repair or rescue devices. However, whether the screw was completely retrieved or the inner implant body was damaged may be uncertain. A silicone replica technique was recently implemented in Bern and may be the most predictable method available at the moment for clinically assessing the internal implant body. This technique is straightforward and precise and may help dentists determine the internal implant condition when managing a fractured screw.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal has been used as a dental biomaterial for several decades because the fracture toughness and bend strength are increased by a stress-induced transformation-toughening mechanism. However, its esthetics are compromised by its poor translucency and grayish-white appearance.

Purpose

The purpose of the present systematic review was to assess information on the mechanical, chemical, and optical requirements of monolithic zirconia dental restorations.

Material and methods

The following databases (2010 to 2015) were electronically searched: ProQuest, EMBASE, SciFinder, MRS Online Proceedings Library, Medline, Compendex, and Journal of the American Ceramic Society. The search was limited to English-language publications, in vitro studies, experimental reports, and modeling studies.

Results

The data from 57 studies were considered in order to review the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of zirconia and their effects on the optical properties.

Conclusions

The materials and microstructural issues relevant to the esthetics and long-term stability of zirconia have been considered in terms of monolithic restorations, while there also are restorations specifically for esthetic applications. Although zirconia-toughened lithium silicate offers the best esthetic outcomes, transformation-toughened zirconia offers the best mechanical properties and long-term stability; cubic stabilized zirconia offers a potential compromise. The properties of these materials can be altered to some extent through the appropriate application of intrinsic (such as, annealing) and extrinsic (such as, shade-matching) parameters.  相似文献

PurposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of monolithic zirconia crowns (MZC) as abutment teeth of Akers clasps on removable partial dentures (RPD) by determining the change in retentive force after repetitive insertion/removal test.MethodsMZC and silver palladium copper alloy (Ag–Pd) full-metal crowns (FMC) for the mandibular second premolar were fabricated. Resin patterns of Akers clasps made with a 3D printer were casted with Ag–Pd or cobalt chromium alloy (Co–Cr). Clasp retentive force was measured with combinations of the crown and clasp materials. After measuring the initial retentive force of the clasp, repetitive insertion/removal test was carried out. The surface of the crown before and after the test was observed with an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope; some specimens were subjected to element analysis by an electron probe microanalyzer.ResultsThe initial retentive force of the Co–Cr clasp was greater than the Ag–Pd clasp for both MZC and FMC. Clasp retentive force decreased with increasing number of insertion/removal cycles, and least reduction in force was observed for the Ag–Pd clasp on MZC. Wear marks were detected where FMC contacted the clasp. Discoloration of MZC due to wear of the Co–Cr clasp was observed.ConclusionsWhen repetitive insertion/removal of the clasp was performed on MZC, retentive force decreased depending on clasp materials. However, the amount of decrease in retentive force was comparable or small compared to conventional FMC. As a result, it was suggested that MZC could be used on abutment tooth for RPD.  相似文献

PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fusion sputtering surface treatment on the microshear bond strength of zirconia and self-adhesive MDP-containing resin cement.MaterialsThirty-six zirconia discs received one of the following treatments: fusion sputtering, airborne particle abrasion with 50-μm aluminum oxide particles, while as-sintered specimens served as a control. Four treated zirconia samples from each group were examined using 3D laser scanning microscope to assess the surface roughness and scanning electron microscope to study the surface topography. The specimens of each group were bonded to composite micro discs using MDP-containing self-adhesive resin cement (Panavia SA cement plus). The specimens were thermocycled for 5000 cycles between 5 and 55 °C. Microshear bond strength test was performed using universal testing machine until bonding failure. Failure modes and fracture surfaces was evaluated using scanning electron microscope.ResultsThe fusion sputtering surface treatment significantly influenced zirconia-resin bond strength (p < 0.001). The highest mean microshear bond strength value was observed in fusion sputtering treatment (23.18 ± 4.38). The lowest value was observed in as-sintered zirconia surfaces (7.23 ± 6.26).SignificanceFusion sputtering surface treatment enhanced the microshear bond strength of zirconia and resin cement.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Concern has been raised with regard to the low-temperature degradation (LTD) of translucent yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) for monolithic zirconia restorations.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the LTD behavior of 4 commercially available translucent Y-TZP materials by accelerated aging specimens in steam at 134°C, 0.2 MPa.

Material and Methods

Thin bars (22×3×0.2 mm) of Y-TZP, including Katana ML (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc), Katana HT13 (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc), Prettau (Zirkonzahn), and BruxZir (Glidewell Laboratories) (n=30 for each group), were machined from sintered blocks. Control specimens were assessed in the nonaged condition. Artificially ageing (n=5 per group at 5, 50, 100, 150, and 200 hours) was conducted in steam at 134°C at 0.2 MPa. The specimens were characterized, tested in 4-point flexure, and the fracture surfaces were analyzed. The monoclinic-to-tetragonal (m/t) peak intensity ratio measured by x-ray diffraction was used to calculate the monoclinic phase fraction and monitor LTD. Linear regression with heteroscedasticity-consistent robust standard errors was used to test for the effect of LTD (aging time) on (σf) and m/t. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between σf and monoclinic phase fraction (α=.05).

Results

Artificial aging resulted in LTD as shown by an increase in the monoclinic phase fraction for all specimens. After aging for 200 hours, the mean ±SD monoclinic phase fraction increased from 2.90 ±0.34% to 76.1 ±0.64% for Prettau, 2.69 ±0.18% to 76.0 ±0.26% for BruxZir, 4.6 ±0.19% to 35.8 ±0.80% for Katana HT13, and 3.57 ±0.35% to 33.2 ±1.1% for Katana ML (all P<.001). Flexural strength changed from a mean ±SD of 1612 ±197 MPa to all fractured during aging for Prettau (P<.001); 1248 ±73.5 MPa to all fractured during aging for BruxZir (P<.001); 1052 ±84.2 to 1099 ±70 MPa ±130 for Katana HT13 (P=.45); and from 875 ±130 to 909 ±70 MPa (P=.82) for Katana ML. The mean flexural strength values of Prettau and BruxZir decreased with an increase in the monoclinic phase with Spearman rank correlation coefficients of ?0.80 (P=.001) for Prettau and ?0.63 (P=.022) for BruxZir. No significant changes in flexural strength were measured for Katana ML or Katana HT13 (P>.05).

Conclusions

The LTD of Y-TZP resulted in a significant decrease in flexural strength of Prettau and BruxZir, whereas Katana ML and Katana HT13 exhibited less LTD and no significant decrease in flexural strength.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Saliva contamination has been shown to decrease bonding to zirconia. Adopting a less contamination-sensitive cement system may be an alternative to decontamination.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the ability of different primer/cement systems to promote a durable bond to zirconia after saliva contamination.

Material and methods

Zirconia blocks (Lava Plus) (N=320) were airborne-particle abraded (50 μm Al2O3) and divided into 32 experimental groups (n=10) according to the variables in the study: saliva contamination; primer/cement system (Panavia SA [PSA]; RelyX Unicem 2 [RU2]; Bifix SE [BSE]; Panavia F2.0 [PF2]; Scotchbond Universal + RelyX Ultimate [SBU+RXU]; Futurabond M+ + Bifix QM [FBM+BQM]; All-Bond Universal + Duo-link [ABU+DL]; Z-Prime Plus + Duo-link [ZPP+DL]; and aging period (72 hours; 30 days with 10?000 thermocycles at 5°C to 55°C). After half of the blocks had been contaminated with fresh human saliva for 10 minutes, rinsed with water, and air-dried, each primer/cement was applied. Polymerized composite resin disks were then placed over the cement, and the resin cement was light-polymerized for 20 seconds each at 2 opposite margins. After the aging time, the specimens were tested in shear (1 mm/min). The failure mode was classified as adhesive, cohesive, or mixed. Statistical analysis of the shear bond strength (SBS) data was performed with ANOVA followed by Tukey honest significant difference post hoc tests. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the failure mode data (α=.05).

Results

The mean SBS ranged between 4.2 and 34.5 MPa. Shear bond strength was influenced (P<.001) by all the factors studied (cement system, saliva contamination, aging time). SBU+RXU and FBM+BQM showed a higher mean SBS than those of the other experimental groups (P<.05) and were the only groups not affected by saliva contamination (P>.05). Failure was predominantly classified as adhesive.

Conclusions

In general, saliva contamination and aging decreased bonding efficacy. Two systems, combining an application of a universal adhesive and a resin cement (SBU+RXU and FBM+BQM) were not affected by saliva contamination.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Abutments with a zirconia superstructure and a titanium insert have recently become popular. Although they have been tested under static load, their performance under simulated mastication is not well known.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the cyclic load to failure of 3 types of zirconia abutments with different mechanisms of retention of the zirconia to the titanium interface.

Material and methods

Fifteen implants (n=5 per system) and abutments (3 groups: 5 friction fit [Frft]; 5 bonded; and 5 titanium ring friction fit [Ringfrft]) were used. Abutments were thermocycled in water between 5°C and 55°C for 15 000 cycles and then cyclically loaded for 20 000 cycles or until failure at a frequency of 2 Hz by using a sequentially increased loading protocol up to a maximum of 720 N. The load to failure for each group was recorded, and 1-way analysis of variance was performed.

Results

The mean load-to-failure values for the Frft group was 526 N, for the Bond group 605 N, and for the Ringfrft group 288 N. A statistically significant difference was found among all abutments tested (P<.05).

Conclusions

Abutments with the bonded connection showed the highest load-to-failure value, and the abutment with the titanium ring friction fit connection showed the lowest load-to-failure value.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The effects of the application of aqueous coloring liquids on the mechanical properties of zirconia have not yet been investigated.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of 3 different coloring techniques and the number of coloring liquid applications on the hardness of zirconia.

Material and methods

Eighty specimens were divided into 8 groups (n=10); nonshaded zirconia, preshaded zirconia, acid-based coloring liquid zirconia, and aqueous coloring liquid zirconia (1, 3, 6). Vickers hardness was measured. Data were analyzed via 1-way and 2-way ANOVAs. Multiple comparisons were performed using a Scheffé test (α=.05).

Results

Statistically significant differences in hardness were found between acid-based coloring liquid zirconia and aqueous coloring liquid zirconia (P<.001). Increasing the number of coloring liquid applications decreased the hardness value of acid-based coloring liquid zirconia (P<.001) but had no effect on the hardness of aqueous coloring liquid zirconia (P>.05).

Conclusions

Within the limitations of this study, the hardness of zirconia was influenced to differing degrees depending on coloring technique. The number of coloring liquid applications affected the hardness of zirconia colored with the acid-based coloring liquid but not the hardness of zirconia colored with the aqueous coloring liquid.  相似文献

This article describes a procedure in which articulating paper is modified for the intraoral assessment of static occlusal contacts. The rectangular-shaped articulating paper is modified by creating parallel cuts at 2- to 3-mm intervals perpendicular to its long side without completely separating the paper. This modification may improve the accuracy in determining occlusal contacts and therefore facilitate an occlusal adjustment procedure.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Complete dentures fabricated by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques have become popular. The 2 principal CAD-CAM techniques, milling and rapid prototyping (3D printing), used in the fabrication of complete dentures have been reported to yield clinically acceptable results. However, clinical trials or in vitro studies that evaluated the accuracy of the 2 manufacturing techniques are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the differences in trueness between the CAD-CAM milled and 3D-printed complete dentures.

Material and methods

Two groups of identical maxillary complete dentures were fabricated. A 3D-printed denture group (3DPD) (n=10) and a milled denture group (MDG) (n=10) from a reference maxillary edentulous model. The intaglio surfaces of the fabricated complete dentures were scanned at baseline using a laboratory scanner. The complete dentures were then immersed in an artificial saliva solution for a period of 21 days, followed by a second scan (after immersion in saliva). A third scan (after the wet-dry cycle) was then made after 21 days, during which the complete dentures were maintained in the artificial saliva solution during the day and stored dry at night. A purpose-built 3D comparison software program was used to analyze the differences in the trueness of the complete dentures. The analyses were performed for the entire intaglio surface and specific regions of interest: posterior crest, palatal vault, posterior palatal seal area, tuberosity, anterior ridge, vestibular flange, and mid-palatal raphae. Independent t tests, ANOVA, and post hoc tests were used for statistical analyses (α=.05).

Results

The trueness of the milled prostheses was significantly better than that of the rapid prototyping group with regard to the entire intaglio surface (P<.001), posterior crest (P<.001), palatal vault (P<.001), posterior palatal seal area (P<.001), tuberosity (P<.001), anterior ridge (baseline: P<.001; after immersion in saliva: P=.001; after the wet-dry cycle: P=.011), vestibular flange (P<.001), and mid-palatal raphae (P<.001).

Conclusions

The CAD-CAM, milled complete dentures, under the present manufacturing standards, were superior to the rapidly prototyped complete dentures in terms of trueness of the intaglio surfaces. However, further research is needed on the biomechanical, clinical, and patient-centered outcome measures to determine the true superiority of one technique over the other with regard to fabricating complete dentures by CAD-CAM techniques.  相似文献

PurposeEvaluating the impact of the prosthetic material on implant- and prosthetic survival of implant-supported fixed complete dentures.Study selectionElectronic and hand searches were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to identify clinical studies including at least 10 patients restored with implant-supported dentures. The primary outcome was to evaluate the implant survival rate according to the applied restorative materials. The prosthetic survival rate was evaluated as secondary outcomes.ResultsForty-one of 2254 studies were ?nally selected. A statistically significant difference (p = 0.0337) was found between implant survival rates in the main restorative groups (metal-ceramic:97%(95%CI [0.96;0.98]), all-ceramic:99%(95%CI [0.98;1.00]), metal-resin:97%(95%CI [0.96;0.98])). Prosthetic survival rates were: (metal-ceramic:95%(95%CI [0.89;0.97]), all-ceramic:97%(95%CI [0.92;0.99]), metal-resin:97%(95%CI [0.95;0.98]), with no statistically significant difference (p = 0.3796) between the groups. Chipping incidence rates were as follows: metal-ceramic:8%(95%CI[0.03;0.20]), all-ceramic:15%(95%CI [0.06;0.32]), and metal-resin:22%(95%CI [0.13;0.33]).Five types of exact restorative materials were identified (porcelain-fused-to-non-precious alloy, porcelain-fused-to-zirconia, precious-metal-acrylic-resin, non-precious-metal-acrylic resin, and PMMA). Again, implant survival rates were statistically significantly influenced by the applied restorative materials (p = 0.0126), whereas, no significant differences were reported regarding prosthetic survival rate.ConclusionsProsthetic material selection seems to have no clinically relevant influence on implant- and prosthetic survival rate in implant-supported fixed complete dentures. Due to the high chipping rate, quantifying prosthetic survival alone does not seem to be a reliable tool for evaluating the outcome of the restorations and providing recommendations. These results, along with the obvious lack of evidence, suggest that clinicians must exercise caution whenever porcelain-fused-to-zirconia or metal-resin restorations are considered.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Clinical trials are needed to evaluate the digital and conventional fabrication technology for providing fixed partial dentures (FPDs).

Purpose

The purpose of the second part of this clinical study was to compare the laboratory production time for tooth-supported, 3-unit FPDs by means of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems and a conventional workflow. In addition, the quality of the 3-unit framework of each treatment group was evaluated clinically.

Material and methods

For each of 10 participants, a 3-unit FPD was fabricated. Zirconia was used as the framework material in the CAD-CAM systems and included Lava C.O.S. CAD software (3M) and centralized CAM (group L); CARES CAD software (Institut Straumann AG) and centralized CAM (group iT); and CEREC Connect CAD software (Dentsply Sirona) and centralized CAM (group C). The noble metal framework in the conventional workflow (group K) was fabricated by means of the traditional lost-wax technique. All frameworks were evaluated clinically before veneering. The time for the fabrication of the cast, the 3-unit framework, and the veneering process was recorded. In addition, chairside time during the clinical appointment for the evaluation of the framework was recorded. The paired Wilcoxon test together with appropriate Bonferroni correction was applied to detect differences among treatment groups (α=.05).

Results

The total effective working time (mean ±standard deviation) for the dental technician was 220 ±29 minutes in group L, 217 ±23 minutes in group iT, 262 ±22 minutes in group C, and 370 ±34 minutes in group K. The dental technician spent significantly more time in the conventional workflow than in the digital workflow, independent of the CAD-CAM systems used (P<.001).

Conclusions

Irrespective of the CAD-CAM system, the overall laboratory time for the dental technician was significantly less for a digital workflow than for the conventional workflow.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The effects of toothbrushing (B) and thermocycling (TC) on the surface texture of different materials with various fabrication processes have been investigated. However, studies of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) ceramic restorations are limited.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of B and TC on the color stability and surface roughness of extrinsically characterized and glazed CAD-CAM ceramic restorations.

Material and methods

Lithium disilicate CAD ceramic (n=90) and zirconia ceramic (n=90) were studied. All specimens were crystallized/sintered, characterized, and glazed following the manufacturer’s recommendation. The specimens were divided into 9 different groups: B, TC, and a combination of B plus TC (B+TC). Brushing was performed at 50?000, 100?000, and 150?000 cycles, simulating an oral environment of 5, 10, and 15 years. Thermocycling was performed at 6000, 12?000, and 18?000 cycles, simulating an oral environment of 5, 10, and 15 years. Brushing plus TC was performed with the combination of the 50?000 cycles of B, then 6000 cycles of TC, and 10?000 cycles of B, then 12?000 cycles of TC, and 15?000 cycles of B, then 18?000 cycles of TC. The color and surface roughness of each specimen were measured before and after all interventions with simulated cycles. Color differences (ΔE) and surface roughness (ΔRa) data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, followed by the least significant difference test (α=.05). The correlation between ΔE and ΔRa was statistically analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis.

Results

Within the lithium disilicate CAD groups, intervention did not result in any significant differences in color change (P>.05). Within the zirconia groups, a 15-year clinical simulation revealed significantly higher ΔE values than a simulated 5-year exposure (P=.017). Increased simulated cycles showed significantly higher Ra values for all groups. Within the zirconia groups, B revealed significantly smoother surfaces than TC (P<.001) and B+TC interventions (P<.001). For the zirconia, simulating B+TC for15 years revealed significantly higher Ra values than the groups of B+TC for 5 years (P<.001) and B+TC for 10 years (P=.003). No correlation (lithium disilicate CAD, r=.079; P=.462; zirconia, r=.001; P=.989) was found between the color change and surface roughness.

Conclusions

For both lithium disilicate CAD and zirconia, color changes were below the selected clinical perceptible threshold (ΔE=2.6) after all intervention and simulated cycles. All mean surface roughness measurements were below 0.2 μm. Generally, the surface of both lithium disilicate CAD and zirconia became rougher. No correlation was found between color difference and surface roughness for either material.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Conventional cast metal posts and cores are fabricated using direct and indirect techniques, both of which need impression materials and considerable laboratory work. Digital techniques have the capacity to substitute for conventional methods in fabricating the posts and cores. However, the accuracy of restorations resulting from a digital workflow is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the retention of posts and cores fabricated using full-digital, half-digital, and conventional techniques and to define the accuracy of each technique in terms of the apical gap.

Method and materials

Thirty newly extracted mandibular first and second premolar teeth were selected for this in vitro study. Impressions were made using direct acrylic resin patterns (conventional), indirect silicone impressions of the intracanal which scanned with a 3Shape laboratory scanner (half digital), and intracanal scan posts captured with an intraoral 3Shape scanner (full digital). Casting and milling were conducted for the conventional impression and digital scans. The obtained posts were cemented using zinc phosphate cement. A universal pullout test was used to measure retention at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The apical gap of each post in the canals was defined with parallel digital radiography. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (α=.05) and Mann-Whitney test at the adjusted α=.016.

Results

Significant differences were found among the conventional, full-digital, and half-digital techniques in terms of the apical gap (0.11, 0.29, and 0.66 mm; P<.001) and retention (171.6 ±1.9, 107.1 ±5.6 and 91.8 ±6.6 N; P<.001). The correlation between gap and retention in conventional (P=.43), full-digital (P=.09), and half-digital techniques (P=.06) was not statistically significantly different.

Conclusions

The conventional technique was more accurate and resulted in higher retention than both the full- and half-digital techniques. However, the retention and gap of all the posts fell within clinical guidelines.  相似文献

Statement of problem

To the authors’ knowledge, while accuracy outcomes of the TRIOS scanner have been compared with conventional impressions, no available data are available regarding the accuracy of digital scans with the Omnicam and True Definition scanners versus conventional impressions for partially edentulous arches.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of digital implant scans using 2 different intraoral scanners (IOSs) with that of conventional impressions for partially edentulous arches.

Material and methods

Two partially edentulous mandibular casts with 2 implant analogs with a 30-degree angulation from 2 different implant systems (Replace Select RP; Nobel Biocare and Tissue level RN; Straumann) were used as controls. Sixty digital models were made from these 2 definitive casts in 6 different groups (n=10). Splinted implant-level impression procedures followed by digitization were used to produce the first 2 groups. The next 2 groups were produced by digital scanning with Omnicam. The last 2 groups were produced by digital scanning with the True Definition scanner. Accuracy was evaluated by superimposing the digital files of each test group onto the digital file of the controls with inspection software.

Results

The difference in 3-dimensional (3D) deviations (median ±interquartile range) among the 3 impression groups for Nobel Biocare was statistically significant among all groups (P<.001), except for the Omnicam (20 ±4 μm) and True Definition (15 ±6 μm) groups; the median ±interquartile range for the conventional group was 39 ±18 μm. The difference in 3D deviations among the 3 impression groups for Straumann was statistically significant among all groups (P=.003), except for the conventional impression (22 ±5 μm) and True Definition (17 ±5 μm) groups; the median ±interquartile range for the Omnicam group was 26 ±15 μm. The difference in 3D deviations between the 2 implant systems was significant for the Omnicam (P=.011) and conventional (P<.001) impression techniques but not for the True Definition technique (P=.247).

Conclusions

Within the limitations of this study, both the impression technique and the implant system affected accuracy. The True Definition technique had the fewest 3D deviations compared with the other 2 techniques; however, the accuracy of all impression techniques was within clinically acceptable levels, and not all differences were statistically significant.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The whitish color of zirconia (ZrO2) abutments offers favorable esthetics compared with the grayish color of titanium (Ti) abutments. Nonetheless, ZrO2 has greater opacity, making it difficult to achieve natural tooth color. Therefore, lithium disilicate (LaT) abutments have been suggested to replace metal abutments.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fracture strength and failure mode of single-tooth implant restorations using ZrO2 and LaT abutments, and to compare them with titanium (Ti) abutments.

Material and methods

Five different types of abutments, Ti; ZrO2 with no metal base; ZrO2 with a metal base (ZrT); LaT; and LaT combination abutment and crown (LcT) were assembled on 40 Ti implants and restored with LaT crowns. Specimens were subjected to quasistatic loading using a universal testing machine, until the implant-abutment connection failed. As bending of the metal would be considered a clinical failure, the values of force (N) at which the plastic deformation of the metal occurred were calculated, and the rate of deformation was analyzed. Statistical analysis was done using the Mann-Whitney U test (α=.05).

Results

Group ZrO2 revealed the lowest resistance to failure with a mean of 202 ±33 N. Groups ZrT, LaT, and LaC withstood higher forces without fracture or debonding of the ceramic suprastructure, and failure was due to deformation of metal bases, with no statistically significant differences between these groups regarding the bending behavior.

Conclusions

Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it was concluded that LaT abutments have the potential to withstand the physiological occlusal forces that occur in the anterior region and that ZrO2 abutments combined with Ti inserts have much higher fracture strength than pure ZrO2 abutments.  相似文献
