The conventional approach for replacing mandibular incisors dictates the placement of ei-ther a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridge, Maryland bridge, or fiber-reinforced composite veneer bridge and several appearance-related disadvantages have been reported in the use of a prosthesis that incorporates a metal substructure. The InCeram bridge is a minimally invasive restoration and eliminates undesirable incisal graying frequently observed in metal RBFPDs. This method was successfully clinically applied to overcome shortcomings of other approaches that may require a minimal invasive technique to preserve lasting sound tooth structure.

Research paper thumbnail of In vitro evaluation of the effect of core thickness and fabrication stages on the marginal accuracy of an all-ceramic system

Twenty IPS e.max Press crowns, 1.5mm thick, were fabricated on metal dies. The crowns had two different core thicknesses, 0.8mm for group A and 1mm for group B, ten for each group. Marginal gap was measured after each stage of core fabrication, veneering and glaze firing. The specimens were not cemented and the measurements were made at four points on metal dies using a stereomicroscope (×120). Data were analyzed by SPSS software and independent t-test. Mean marginal gaps measured after each stage for group A were 13.5 (±1.4) μm, 33.9 (±2.3) μm and 40.5(±1.7) μm, and for group B these figures were 14.9(±2.0) μm, 35.5(±2.2) μm and 41.3(±2.0) μm. There were no statistically significant differences in marginal gap values between the two groups (p>0.1). Significant increase in gap was observed after the veneering stage in both groups (p<0.05). After glazing, no significant increase in gap was detected. IPS e.max Press crowns have an acceptable marginal fit. Increasing thickness of core does not increase marginal fitness.

Materials and methods: Crowns of 72 mandibular premolars were removed at the cementoenamel junction. Root canals were prepared and specimens were randomly divided into two groups of 36. In each group, 12 specimens were obturated with gutta percha only; 12 specimens with gutta percha/ZOE sealer and 12 specimens with gutta percha/AH26. In the first group, 10 mm Post spaces were prepared with Peeso reamers size 4 and, size 5 stainless steel Paraposts were cemented in with zinc phosphate. In the second group, 10 mm Post spaces were prepared with Fiber Lux size 5.5 drills and size 5 Paraposts were cemented with Panavia F 2.0. After mounting in resin blocks, posts were pulled out by universal testing machine at 1 mm/min and results were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Dunnett test. Results: Mean forces (in Newtons) required to remove posts cemented with zinc phosphate in canals obturated without sealer, with ZOE, and with AH26 sealers were 270 AE 83, 281 AE 128 and 266 AE 67, respectively; and for posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 were 520 AE 290, 464 AE 212 and 229 AE 108, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that AH26 significantly reduced retention of posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Different sealers had no significant effect on retention of posts cemented with zinc phosphate. However posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 showed reduced retention in canals obturated with AH26.

Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Multiple Firings on Microtensile Bond Strength of Core-Veneer Zirconia-Based All-Ceramic Restorations

Given the necessity of performing multiple firing cycles to achieve improved contour, color, and esthetics, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of multiple firing cycles on the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of zirconia core to the porcelain veneer in zirconia-based all-ceramic restorations. Materials and Methods: Thirty blocks (12 × 12 × 4 mm 3) of semi-sintered zirconia were machined and sintered according to manufacturer's instruction. Specimens were placed in three groups based on the number of firing cycles (4, 6, 8) for the veneering process. After veneering, the specimens were sectioned into microbars with 8 mm length and 1 mm cross-section. Twenty sound microbars in each group were stressed to failure in a microtensile tester machine at 1 mm/min. Fractured specimens were surveyed under a scanning electron microscope and classified as cohesive in core, cohesive in veneer, and mixed. MTBS data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p < 0.05). Results: The mean MTBS (MPa) after 4, 6, and 8 firing cycles were 30.33 ± 2.13, 27.43 ± 1.79, and 25.06 ± 1.76, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the bond strengths of each of the three groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Increase in firing cycles decreased MTBS. Most of the failures (90-95%) in all three groups were cohesive in the veneering porcelain and did not change as the number of firing cycles increased.

This experimental study compared the effect of intraoral and extraoral scanning on the marginal adaptation of the crowns which was made using the CEREC AC system. Materials and Methods: A Typodont maxillary first molar was prepared and served as the master die for an all-ceramic restoration. In the first group, the model was scanned ten times directly by the intraoral scanner. In the second group, ten conventional impressions were made from Typodont, and the extraoral scanner scanned the resulting gypsum casts. The data was used to design and build crowns from IPS e.max CAD blocks. The crowns were placed on the prepared tooth, and the marginal gap was measured at 16 points by a stereomicroscope at ×35 magnification. Collected data were analyzed using t-test. Results: The mean marginal gap for intraoral and extraoral groups were 74.83 ± 10.07 μm and 102.56 ± 6.89 μm respectively. The gap was significantly less in the intraoral group (P-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Marginal adaptation was clinically acceptable in both groups, although the results of intraoral scanning showed significantly lower gap than extraoral scanning.

Twenty IPS e.max Press crowns, 1.5mm thick, were fabricated on metal dies. The crowns had two different core thicknesses, 0.8mm for group A and 1mm for group B, ten for each group. Marginal gap was measured after each stage of core fabrication, veneering and glaze firing. The specimens were not cemented and the measurements were made at four points on metal dies using a stereomicroscope (×120). Data were analyzed by SPSS software and independent t-test. Mean marginal gaps measured after each stage for group A were 13.5 (±1.4) μm, 33.9 (±2.3) μm and 40.5(±1.7) μm, and for group B these figures were 14.9(±2.0) μm, 35.5(±2.2) μm and 41.3(±2.0) μm. There were no statistically significant differences in marginal gap values between the two groups (p&amp;amp;gt;0.1). Significant increase in gap was observed after the veneering stage in both groups (p&amp;amp;lt;0.05). After glazing, no significant increase in gap was detected. IPS e.max Press crowns have an acceptable marginal fit. Increasing thickness of core does not increase marginal fitness.

This study investigated the effect of the thickness of two resin cements on push-out bond strength of fiber posts to root dentin. Methods. Sixty decoronated single-rooted teeth were endodontically treated. The specimens were then randomly allocated to two groups (n=30); group 1: drill size 90 w, matching the size of fiber posts used; group 2: drill size 110, larger than the posts. The specimens in each group were divided into 2 subgroups (n=15); subgroup SE, in which the posts were cemented with self-etch Panavia F2.0 and subgroup SA, in which self-adhesive Panavia cement was used. After 72 hours, 2 slices with 1 mm of thickness were prepared from the mid-root of each specimen. Push-out bond strength test was performed in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and t-test. Results. The mean bond strengths of the posts cemented in matched-size spaces for SE and SA groups were 4.02±1.6 and 4.12±2.3 MPa, respective...

Research paper thumbnail of Single Tooth Replacement Using InCeram Resin Bonded Fixed Partial Denture: A Clinical Report

The conventional approach for replacing mandibular incisors dictates the placement of either a conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridge, Maryland bridge, or fiber-reinforced composite veneer bridge and several appearance-related disadvantages have been reported in the use of a prosthesis that incorporates a metal substructure. The InCeram bridge is a minimally invasive restoration and eliminates undesirable incisal graying frequently observed in metal RBFPDs. This method was successfully clinically applied to overcome shortcomings of other approaches that may require a minimal invasive technique to preserve lasting sound tooth structure.

Materials and methods: Crowns of 72 mandibular premolars were removed at the cementoenamel junction. Root canals were prepared and specimens were randomly divided into two groups of 36. In each group, 12 specimens were obturated with gutta percha only; 12 specimens with gutta percha/ZOE sealer and 12 specimens with gutta percha/AH26. In the first group, 10 mm Post spaces were prepared with Peeso reamers size 4 and, size 5 stainless steel Paraposts were cemented in with zinc phosphate. In the second group, 10 mm Post spaces were prepared with Fiber Lux size 5.5 drills and size 5 Paraposts were cemented with Panavia F 2.0. After mounting in resin blocks, posts were pulled out by universal testing machine at 1 mm/min and results were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Dunnett test. Results: Mean forces (in Newtons) required to remove posts cemented with zinc phosphate in canals obturated without sealer, with ZOE, and with AH26 sealers were 270 AE 83, 281 AE 128 and 266 AE 67, respectively; and for posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 were 520 AE 290, 464 AE 212 and 229 AE 108, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that AH26 significantly reduced retention of posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Different sealers had no significant effect on retention of posts cemented with zinc phosphate. However posts cemented with Panavia F 2.0 showed reduced retention in canals obturated with AH26.

Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Multiple Firings on Microtensile Bond Strength of Core-Veneer Zirconia-Based All-Ceramic Restorations

Given the necessity of performing multiple firing cycles to achieve improved contour, color, and esthetics, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of multiple firing cycles on the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) of zirconia core to the porcelain veneer in zirconia-based all-ceramic restorations. Materials and Methods: Thirty blocks (12 × 12 × 4 mm 3) of semi-sintered zirconia were machined and sintered according to manufacturer's instruction. Specimens were placed in three groups based on the number of firing cycles (4, 6, 8) for the veneering process. After veneering, the specimens were sectioned into microbars with 8 mm length and 1 mm cross-section. Twenty sound microbars in each group were stressed to failure in a microtensile tester machine at 1 mm/min. Fractured specimens were surveyed under a scanning electron microscope and classified as cohesive in core, cohesive in veneer, and mixed. MTBS data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p < 0.05). Results: The mean MTBS (MPa) after 4, 6, and 8 firing cycles were 30.33 ± 2.13, 27.43 ± 1.79, and 25.06 ± 1.76, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the bond strengths of each of the three groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Increase in firing cycles decreased MTBS. Most of the failures (90-95%) in all three groups were cohesive in the veneering porcelain and did not change as the number of firing cycles increased.

This in-vitro study compared the effect of two die materials, as physical replicas of prepared teeth, on internal and marginal adaptations of zirconia copings to their corresponding abutments. Materials and Methods: A virtual model simulating a prepared premolar was designed and used for the milling of thirty identical metal models. Impression was taken of all models by Polyvinyl siloxane material. Fifteen impressions were poured in with Type IV stone and the other fifteen with polyurethane resin to make dies. All dies were scanned, and for each of them, zirconia coping was designed and milled. The copings were cemented to their corresponding metal models. Marginal gap between each coping and its metal model was measured at 20 points with a stereomicroscope (×60). Then the specimens were sectioned into two halv...

This experimental study compared the effect of intraoral and extraoral scanning on the marginal adaptation of the crowns which was made using the CEREC AC system. Materials and Methods: A Typodont maxillary first molar was prepared and served as the master die for an all-ceramic restoration. In the first group, the model was scanned ten times directly by the intraoral scanner. In the second group, ten conventional impressions were made from Typodont, and the extraoral scanner scanned the resulting gypsum casts. The data was used to design and build crowns from IPS e.max CAD blocks. The crowns were placed on the prepared tooth, and the marginal gap was measured at 16 points by a stereomicroscope at ×35 magnification. Collected data were analyzed using t-test. Results: The mean marginal gap for intraoral and extraoral groups were 74.83 ± 10.07 μm and 102.56 ± 6.89 μm respectively. The gap was significantly less in the intraoral group (P-value = 0.001). Conclusion: Marginal adaptation was clinically acceptable in both groups, although the results of intraoral scanning showed significantly lower gap than extraoral scanning.
