DOI: 10.11607/ijp.2024.1.e, PubMed-ID: 38381981Seiten: 7, Sprache: EnglischSailer, IrenaEditorialDOI: 10.11607/ijp.8143, PubMed-ID: 36484666Seiten: 8-15, Sprache: EnglischLiu, Xinggang / Feng, Kun / Dong, Ling / Liu, Lixia / Ni, Lin / Zheng, DongxiangPurpose: To evaluate the accuracy of intraoral scanners by comparing the marginal fit of 70 all-ceramic crowns fabricated from both conventional impressions and intraoral scans. Materials and Methods: A total of 70 posterior teeth requiring single-crown restorations randomly underwent either intraoral scanning or conventional impression-taking, followed by laboratory scanning of the casts in a parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). Subsequently, 70 monolithic all-ceramic crowns were CAD/CAM fabricated; only the impression technique differed. The marginal fit, internal fit, adjustment time required for insertion and occlusal contacts, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores assessing dentists’ satisfaction with the crowns were clinically evaluated by a calibrated examiner who was blinded to the groups. Data were analyzed using independent samples t test and likelihood-ratio test or Fisher exact test. All tests were performed with α = .05. Results: The mean marginal fit with intraoral scanning (57.94 ± 22.51 μm) was better than with diagnostic cast scanning (82.98 ± 21.72 μm). The difference was statistically significant (P = .000). The differences in internal fit, adjustment time for crown insertion and occlusal contacts, and VAS scores were also significant, and the secondary outcomes were in favor of intraoral scanning. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this clinical trial, CAD/CAM–fabricated single-tooth restorations in the posterior region produced with an intraoral scanning technique using TRIOS were found to be a more accurate, efficient alternative to restorations based on conventional impressions in combination with the laboratory scanning technique.

Furthermore, it was analyzed whether titanium-base (Ti-base) abutments lead to wider abutment emergence angles compared to one-piece abutments. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 abutments (ie, 24 Ti-base and 24 one-piece abutments in 24 patients) were evaluated at abutment installation, after 1 year, and thereafter on a yearly basis for up to 5 years. Clinical and radiographic outcome variables were assessed. Results: With regard to peri-implant marginal bone stability, only moderately negative, albeit significant, correlations were found on the mesial sides of the one-piece abutments after 4 and 5 years for an abutment emergence angle > 30 degrees. No statistically significant negative correlations were found for distances of ≤ 1.5 mm between the restoration margin and the crestal peri-implant bone level for either Ti-base or for one-piece abutments. Furthermore, abutments bonded to Ti-bases were not associated with larger emergence angles than one-piece abutments. Conclusions: For patients at low risk of developing peri-implantitis, it can be concluded that neither a larger abutment emergence angle (> 30 degrees) nor a distance of ≤ 1.5 mm between the restoration margin and the crestal peri-implant bone level are associated with marginal peri-implant bone loss. Furthermore, abutments bonded to Ti-bases are not associated with wider emergence angles than one-piece abutments.

Materials and Methods: A total of 83 volunteer patients participated in this study. The occlusal force was measured using an occlusal force measuring sheet in the patient’s mouth. The occlusal forces and ratios were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P < .05). Results: The force exerted on the anterior teeth increased significantly as the number of remaining teeth decreased in an edentulous distal extension. The force exerted on the anterior teeth decreased significantly with the use of a removable partial dental prosthesis. Conclusions: In a clinical setting, when the number of remaining teeth in a partial edentulous distal extension decreases, the burden on the anterior teeth increases. Our findings suggest that, for patients with partial edentulous distal extension, using a removable partial dental prosthesis is effective in preserving the residual anterior teeth by reducing excessive force.

Materials and Methods: A maxillary right first premolar and molar were prepared on a Frasaco cast, which was then duplicated 40 times. In total, 10 provisional three-unit fixed prostheses (Protemp 4, 3M) were made using the conventional technique with a putty mold. The 30 remaining casts were scanned to design a provisional restoration using CAD software. A total of 10 designs were milled (CEREC MC X5/shaded PMMA Disk, Dentsply Sirona), while the other 20 were 3D printed with one of the two 3D printers (Asiga UV MAX or Nextdent 5100, C&B, Nextdent). Internal and marginal fit were examined using the replica technique. Next, the restorations were cemented on their respective casts and loaded until fracture using a universal testing machine. The location and propagation of the fracture were also evaluated. Results: 3D printing demonstrated the best internal fit. Nextdent (median internal fit: 132 μm) was significantly better compared to the milled (median internal fit: 185 μm; P = .006) and conventional restorations (median internal fit: 215 μm; P < .001), while the fit of Asiga (median internal fit: 152 μm) was only significantly better than the conventional restorations (P < .012). The lowest marginal discrepancy was found for the milled restorations (median marginal fit: 96 μm), but this was only significant when compared to the conventional group (median internal fit: 163 μm; P < .001). The conventional restorations demonstrated the lowest fracture load (median fracture load: 536 N), which was only significant when compared to Asiga (median fracture load: 892 N; P = .003). Conclusions: Within the present in vitro study’s limitations, CAD/CAM demonstrated superior fit and strength compared to the conventional technique.

Materials and Methods: Disc-shaped specimens were fabricated from silicone-based resilient liner (Tokuyama, Molloplast), acrylic-based hard liner (GC Reline), and acrylic-based soft liner (Visco-gel). Tea tree oil (TTO) was incorporated into the liners at varying concentrations (0% [control], 2%, 5%, 8%). C albicans were counted by viable colony count, and optical density (OD) was measured with a spectrophotometer. The tensile strength to heat polymerized acrylic denture base was measured in a universal testing machine. The compliance of the data to the distribution of normality was evaluated using the Shapiro Wilk test. Two-way ANOVA, Bonferroni correction, and paired sample t test were performed (α = .05). Results: The addition of TTO into liners provided a significant decrease in the OD values (P < .001). The control groups of the liners presented the highest colony counts, whereas increasing TTO decreased the results (P < .01). According to tensile bond strength test, 8% TTO addition resulted in a significant decrease for Tokuyama (P < .01) and Molloplast liners (P < .05), while 2% TTO resulted in significance for GC Reline (P < .001). Conclusions: Denture liners containing increasing percentages of TTO presented lower amounts of C albicans colonies and decreased bond strength to the denture bases. When using TTO for its antifungal properties, the amount added should be carefully selected because the tensile bond strength may be affected.

Materials and Methods: A 3D finite-element model of a two-implant–supported mandibular overdenture with magnetic attachments was developed, and normal and osteoporotic bone samples were prepared. Four types of load were applied to the overdenture in each model: 100 N vertical and oblique loads on the right first molar, and a 100 N vertical load on the right canine and incisors. Biomechanical behaviors of the peri-implant bone, implant, and mucosa were recorded. Maximum equivalent stresses and elastic strains were analyzed. Results: Equivalent elastic strain in osteoporotic cortical and cancellous bone was 9% to 71% and was 142% and 207% greater than in normal cortical bone, respectively. Equivalent elastic strain in the first molar oblique loading condition was 101% to 190% greater than in the first molar vertical loading condition. Conclusions: Osteoporotic cancellous bone was weaker and less resistant to deformation than normal bone, and oblique loading was more harmful than vertical loading.

Materials and Methods: A titanium, shoulderless abutment was chosen for a single-implant cemented rehabilitation. The master cast was made using a plastic-based die system, and the implant portion was separated. The implant section was consecutively duplicated eight times using a manual technique with polyvinyl siloxane and unfilled polyurethane resin as impression and die materials. The duplicates were analyzed with a coordinate-measuring machine (SmartScope Flash 200, Optical Gaging Products): one- and three- dimensional discrepancies were determined for each duplicate on 20 analysis points (A to T) located on the abutment surface. Changes in the abutment radius were also calculated to estimate the effects on cement thicknesses. Results: One-dimensional discrepancies were –0.5 Å} 61.2 μm, –6.6 Å} 39.7 μm, and –19.4 Å} 47.8 μm on the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively; three-dimensional variation was –66.4 Å} 60.1 μm. Friedman test showed no significant difference between duplicates’ one-dimensional variations on X (P = .059), Y (P = .156), or Z (P = .223) axes; a significant difference was found regarding three-dimensional changes (P < .001). Dunn test showed higher discrepancies on the X axis and on the abutment head. Mean variation of the abutment radius was –12.09 μm. Conclusions: The abutment duplication technique was shown to be an accurate and repeatable procedure for single cementable restorations.
DOI: 10.11607/ijp.8164, PubMed-ID: 38381986Seiten: 72-79a, Sprache: EnglischRençber, Ayşe / Karaman, TahirPurpose: To investigate the biaxial flexural strength of zirconia materials with different translucency before and after aging procedures and to evaluate the effects of aging on hardness and surface characteristics. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 disc-shaped specimens (n = 30 each) were prepared from translucent (Upcera-ST, Upcera Dental), high translucent (Katana HT, Kuraray Noritake), and ultra high translucent (Katana UTML, Kuraray Noritake) zirconia materials to a ø.16 ±1.2 mm thickness. The different translucency discs were then divided into three subgroups; one group was subjected to aging in a chewing simulator (n = 10), one group was aged with thermocycling (n = 10), and one was a control group (n = 10). Biaxial flexural strength, Vickers hardness, and surface characteristics were examined for all discs. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk (P = .05), Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. Fracture strength was determined using biaxial bending strength tests, and Weibull analysis was used to analyze the resulting data. Results: A statistically significant difference was found among zirconia materials with different translucency in terms of fracture strength. On average, fracture strength was highest in the Upcera ST group (1,932.87 MPa) and lowest in the Katana UTML group (1,073.6 MPa; P = .001). The results of Weibull analysis showed a statistically similar distribution for all groups. Conclusions: Aging procedures did not cause significant differences in fracture strength and hardness. The fracture strength of the zirconia materials with different translucency was considered acceptable for intraoral use.
DOI: 10.11607/ijp.8171, PubMed-ID: 38381987Seiten: 80-91, Sprache: EnglischAlmohammed, Saleh N. / Dourado, Annalita M. / Al Quran, Firas A.Purpose: To evaluate and compare the fracture mode and strength of monolithic zirconia to veneered zirconia and metal-ceramic full-coverage restorations following artificial aging and to test the performance of translucent zirconia in terms of load-bearing capacity. Materials and Methods: Two mandibular first molars were prepared and scanned for their respective groups of full-coverage restorations. A total of 75 full-coverage restorations were fabricated and divided into five groups: two groups for monolithic zirconia, two groups for veneered zirconia, and one group for metal-ceramic. Then, 75 light-cured hybrid composite resin dies were fabricated to serve as abutments. Before cementation, all full-coverage restorations were subjected to accelerated aging. After cementation, all full-coverage restorations were subjected to compressive loading until fracture in an electromechanical universal testing machine. A two-way nested ANOVA and Tukey test were used to analyze the results with 95% confidence levels. Results: Monolithic zirconia full-coverage restorations showed the highest mean fracture resistance of 4,201.0 N, followed by metalceramic full-coverage restorations of 3,609.3 N, and veneered zirconia full-coverage restorations showed the lowest mean fracture resistance of 2,524.6 N. The main mode of failure was cohesive bulk fracture for the monolithic zirconia group, cohesive/adhesive failure with infrastructure damage for the veneered zirconia group, and cohesive/adhesive failure without infrastructure damage for the metal-ceramic group. Conclusions: Monolithic zirconia full-coverage restorations showed superior resistance to fracture compared to metal-ceramic full-coverage restorations and are highly reliable in terms of load-bearing capacity within the posterior regions of the mouth.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of two different lasers and their use in combination with hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching on the surface roughness of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramics and their shear bond strength (SBS) to composite resin. Materials and Methods: The five study groups were as follows: (1) Group H = HF etching; (2) Group N = Nd:YAG (neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser; (3) Group NH = Nd:YAG laser + HF gel; (4) Group E = Er:YAG (erbium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser; and (5) Group EH = Er:YAG laser + HF gel. Surface roughness was assessed using a noncontact profilometer, and SBS tests were conducted with a universal testing machine. Results: The mean SBS values were 16.23 ± 1.77 MPa for Group H, 17.1 ± 1.65 MPa for Group N, 16.65 ± 1.11 MPa for Group NH, 8.08 ± 1.12 MPa for Group E, and 11.58 ± 0.82 MPa for Group EH. There were significant differences between groups E and EH (P < .001) but no significant differences (P > .05) among the other groups. Conclusions: Clinicians may prefer Nd:YAG laser or the combination of Nd:YAG and HF to intraorally repair fractured areas.
DOI: 10.11607/ijp.8174, PubMed-ID: 38381988Seiten: 95-102g, Sprache: Englischdel Amo, Fernando Suárez-López / Romero-Bustillos, Miguel / Catena, Andrés / Galindo-Moreno, Pablo / Sánchez-Suárez, José Manuel / Sánchez, Rodrigo / Garaicoa-Pazmino, CarlosPurpose: To analyze the influence of abutment height (AH) on marginal bone loss (MBL). Materials and Methods: A literature search was performed for human studies (RCTs, prospective and retrospective cohorts) reporting on AH and MBL. The data obtained—including clinical outcomes, treatment covariates, and patient characteristics—were analyzed. Meta-regression was performed on the effect size of the differences between the shorter and larger AHs on the MBL of each study. The estimation was done using the restricted maximum likelihood method. Results: The initial screening and full-text analysis resulted in 7,936 and 46 articles, respectively. Finally, 14 articles were included in the systematic review, reporting a total of 1,606 implants. An overall high-to-moderate risk of bias was determined among the included investigations. Meta-regression analysis revealed that AH had a significant effect on MBL (b = –1.630, P < .003), demonstrating that longer abutments were correlated with less MBL. No effects were observed for the study type (P = .607), the number of stages (P = .510), or the elapsed time (P = .491). Conclusions: The height of the abutment has a significant impact on MBL. As such, increased AH is related to less MBL. Nevertheless, the role of confounding variables remains to be studied and determined.

For the fabrication of complete dentures, digital workflows can reduce treatment time and clinical visits while enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of the laboratory phase and materials. However, establishing centric relation (CR) and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) in a reproducible way is still a challenging step for complete denture fabrication in both analog and digital workflows. This clinical report describes a digital workflow using an individualized gothic arch tracing device (GATD) with open-source software for the fabrication of complete dentures. With this workflow, clinicians can offer customized solutions according to patient rehabilitation, with good reproducibility using gothic arch tracing to be implemented in the digital workflow.

Materials and Methods: A total of 60 HAs were divided into two test groups: (1) used and sterilized and (2) a control group (unused). The test group was evaluated for contamination after sterilization; the control group did not undergo any procedure. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 (IBM). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequency of contamination in the different groups and at the different HA sites. Chi-square test was used to evaluate the association of frequency of contamination with the HA site and design. The level of significance was kept at P ≤ .01. Results: The test group showed more contamination compared to the control group. The most contaminated sites were the screw thread and the screwdriver engagement location. Conclusions: HA reuse is cost-effective, but cleaning and sterilization was not effective for these components; thus, HAs need to be reused with caution because they were heavily contaminated when compared to new HAs. Among the different sites, the screw thread and screwdriver engagement sites were more prone to contamination. HA type did not influence the frequency of contamination.

Materials and Methods: A master model with synthetic resin teeth with two single-unit crown preparations was created and scanned using a 12-megapixel scanner. Five conventional impressions of the physical model were prepared with different silicone impression systems (Zhermack and Coltene) using the double-mix technique and poured with gypsum. The impressions and stone models obtained were scanned using two extraoral scanning systems (Identica T500, Medit; S600 ARTI, Zirkonzahn). All best-fit superimpositions of the teeth areas were conducted between the master model and the scans of the impressions and models obtained with the two scanners. A P < .05 level was considered significant. Results: The Identica T500 Medit scanner showed an accuracy of 102.34 (89.67, 115.01) μm for Coltene silicone and 79.51 (67.82, 91.21) μm for Zhermack silicone, while the S600 ARTI Zirkonzhan scanner presented 110.79 (98.24, 123.33) μm and 91.91 (81.29, 102.54) μm, respectively, with significant differences between scanners for Zhermack silicone (P = .008) and for the corresponding stone models (P = .002). Zhermack silicone presented overall discrepancies lower than Coltene silicone, with statistically significant differences in both scanners analyzed (P < .001; P = .017). However, the discrepancies found were within clinically acceptable values. With the Zirkonzahn scanner, discrepancies found in the Zhermack impressions were lower than in the corresponding stone models (P < .001). Conclusions: The direct digitization of silicone impressions with laboratory scanners presented comparable results to conventional techniques with stone models.

Materials and Methods: A total of 40 maxillary lateral incisors were used and received butt-joint laminate veneer preparation. The samples were divided into two groups (n = 20 each) according to ceramic material: PLD ceramic was used in the first group, and MMZ was used in the second. Each group was then divided into two subgroups according to the bonding protocol: IDS was employed in one, and DDS in the other (n = 10 each). The marginal gap widths were measured using digital microscopy and statistically analyzed. Results: The smallest marginal gaps were observed in MMZ-DDS (57.2 ± 8.4 μm), followed by PLD-DDS (62.4 ± 2.7 μm) and MMZ-IDS (63.5 ± 1.9 μm). The largest marginal gaps were observed in PLD-IDS (81.5 ± 6.3 μm). Two-way ANOVA revealed that the bonding technique (P < .001) and ceramic material (P < .001) both showed significant differences. Conclusions: MMZ produced beIer marginal accuracy than PLD. IDS seems to have a predisposition to significantly wider marginal gaps than DDS, but these gaps are within the clinically acceptable range. The marginal accuracy of ceramic veneers appears to be related to the bonding technique as well as the material of construction.

Materials and Methods: Nine subjects with an average age of 27 years who needed crown repair were recruited. After preparation of the all-ceramic crowns, two zirconia crowns were designed and fabricated through digital procedures and traditional methods. The intraoral scanner, Geomagic software, and T-Scan analyzer were used to analyze the occlusal contact points, areas, and the occlusal force percentage peak before the treatment and after the two crowns were temporarily fixed. Results: There was a significant difference in the number of occlusal contact points and areas between the mechanical group and control group (preoperation group), but there was no obvious difference between the virtual group and control group. The occlusal contact overlapping areas of the virtual-control group were significantly larger than those of the mechanical-control group. The occlusal force percentage peak of the tested teeth was slightly larger in the mechanical group than in the virtual group. Conclusions: The posterior single crown designed by a virtual articulator restored the intercuspal occlusal better than one designed by a mechanical articulator, and it produced less dynamic occlusal interference. This finding suggests that virtual articulators can provide guidance for the design and adjustment of the occlusal surface of posterior single crown prostheses.

Materials and Methods: The right maxillary first premolar and first molar were prepared for MZ 3-unit FDPs on a typodont. CEREC Primescan digitized the typodont model 15 Omes. A total of 30 FDPs was fabricated using two processes: FCH (n = 15) and LAB (n = 15). FCH and LAB FDPs were designed using CEREC SW 4.5.1 and Exocad and milled using CEREC MC X and Zirkonzhan 600/V3, respectively. A fast-sintering protocol was used in both groups. A dual-scan technique was used to assess the cement space at the occlusal surface (OC), axial wall (AX), and margin (MA). Statistical analysis of the results was performed using univariate ANOVA with Scheff. post hoc test (a = .05). Results: Measurements in the FCH and LAB groups were within the clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. The fit of FCH FDPs at MA, AX, and OC was 77.50 ± 29.99 μm, 99.67 ± 21.58 μm, and 150.03 ± 30.78 μm, respectively. The fit of LAB FDPs at MA, AX, and OC was 100.27 ± 27.06 μm, 116.53 ± 17.90 μm, and 142.30 ± 19.00 μm, respectively. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Conclusions: MZ 3-unit FDPs fabricated using FCH have clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. This result verifies the ability of FCH workflow to fabricate MZ mulOunit FDPs in a single visit.
