In this in vitro investigation, we studied the static strength of three-unit all-ceramic bridge frameworks with rigid positioning of the abutments. The materials used were Vita InCeram® Alumina, Vita InCeram® Zirkonia, and zirconium oxide (Vita InCeram (X YZ Cubes for Cerec®). A finite element calculation was performed for numerical comparison of the load-bearing capacity of two main normal tensions. The purpose of the investigation was to design a framework made from hard core material, that offers the greatest possible resistance in static fracture loading tests. In a model, the 2nd maxillary right premolar and 2nd maxillary right molar served as bridge abutments and were provided with a chamfer preparation. On this base, two different bridge frameworks were constructed using CAD/CAM technology after an impression had been taken. One bridge connector was designed heart-shaped, with contact to the gingiva, while the other was designed as a "free-connector" at a distance of 1.2 mm from the gingiva. In this framework design, the radius in the cervical connector area is larger. We were uncertain as to whether it would be possible to further increase the strength of the ceramic material by the use of the differently designed pontic, independent of the hard core ceramic used.
The least fracture strength was registered for the "heartshaped connector" constructed from InCeram® Alumina, with a mean fracture load of about 1089 Newton (N). The connector designed as a "free connector", made from the same material, was stronger by 10%. With the materials InCeram® Zirkonia and zirconium dioxide as well, the "free-connector" design achieved a 10% higher breakage limit than the heart-shaped design. InCeram® Zirkonia was 25% more stable in the static load tests than In- Ceram® Alumina. Zirconium dioxide demonstrated a 2.3-fold greater strength than InCeram® Alumina, while the free-connector design showed the greatest mean static loading capacity of 2808 N.

Based on an exclusively virtual implant planning and positioning concept, the fit of surgical-guide-like workpieces was evaluated in an in-vitro pilot study, manufactured with the InLab 3D system. From 85 maxillary casts, 8 were randomly selected. The first right maxillary incisor was removed. After optical impression of the maxillary anterior teeth, a drilling template was designed by the use of the InLab software, version 3.0. The mode "bridge" "dental database" was applied. The guidance was milled from a methacrylate block and braced on the adjacent teeth. After milling, they were checked for proper seat (without rocking). The discrepancies between the inner surface of the template and the opposing tooth surface was shown with a silcone based material, which rested on the casts after removing the template. The difference between the thickness of the silicone layer and the subjacent tooth surface was measured with a high resolution scanner.
In order to characterize the fit of the 8 workpieces the average mean, average maximum and average minimum values of the fit were calculated in the buccal, incisal and palatinal area using the program Match 3D (W. Gloger, LMU):
average mean:
buccal: 65 µm; incisal: 116 µm; palatinal: 94 µm
average maximum:
buccal: 162 µm; incisal: 202 µm; palatinal:190 µm
average minimum:
buccal: 5 µm; incisal: 14 µm; palatinal: 15 µm
In the present study it was possible to produce drilling templates with the already commercially available InLab system. The results were presented at the Annual Meeting of the German Society of Computerized Dentistry 2007 as a short presentation.

Heutzutage nehmen Verfahren der modernen Bildgebung zunehmend eine Vormachtstellung im Hinblick auf Diagnostik und Therapie ein. Hierbei werden immer größere Mengen an sensiblen Daten und Informationen erzeugt, verarbeitet und - häufig unzureichend gesichert - über allgemein zugängliche Netze übermittelt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird inzwischen das Internet als Medium für den Transport digitaler Datenbestände besonders stark genutzt, gleichzeitig jedoch der Schutz sensibler Daten von ärztlicher Seite häufig in starkem Maße vernachlässigt. Der vorliegende Beitrag soll daher einen Überblick über derzeit gültige Standards und gesetzliche Bestimmungen vermitteln sowie geeignete praxisrelevante Chiffrierverfahren vorstellen.
Schlagwörter: Gefahren des Datenmissbrauchs, Sicherheitslücken der E-Mail-Kommunikation, rechtlicher Hintergrund der Patientendatenverarbeitung, Chiffrier-Verfahren für den Einsatz in Praxis und Klinik
