RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Three-dimensional (3D) printing enables the fast fabrication of definitive fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). However, data on the effects of surface treatments on their chemical and mechanical properties are lacking. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the influence of different surface treatments on a 3D printed resin in comparison with 2 veneering composite resins. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 288 specimens were manufactured from a 3D printed resin (VarseoSmile Crownplus) or veneering composite resins (GRADIA PLUS; VITA VM LC flow). Surfaces underwent varnishing, coating, polishing or remain untreated. Conversion rate (DC), surface roughness (SR), Martens parameter, flexural strength (FS), and 3-body wear (3BW) were determined (n=12). Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests (α=.05). RESULTS: After polishing, the 3D printed resin showed higher DC, SR, and 3BW but lower Martens parameters compared with veneering composite resins (P<.007). After goat hair brushing, the 3D printed resin showed lower FS than VITA-VCR (P=.043). For the 3D printed resin, goat hair brushing or GC-Varnish reduced SR, while VITA-Varnish showed the lowest 3BW (P<.045). For both veneering composite resins, goat hair brushing led to low SR and 3BW and high EIT and FS (P<.043). Silicone polishing led to low EIT of the 3D printed resin and low EIT and FS of GC-VCR (P<.009). Coating resulted in a lower EIT than the untreated surface and higher 3BW than GC-Varnish (P<.030). CONCLUSIONS: The 3D printed resin showed higher DC, SR, 3BW and lower HM, EIT, and FS values than the veneering composite resins. Polishing with a goat hair brush can be recommended for all tested materials. For the 3D printed resin, varnishing presents a promising alternative with regard to SR and 3BW. Silicone polishing and coating cannot be recommended.

RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: To complement the digital workflow for manufacturing fixed dental prostheses, both high-strength frameworks and esthetic veneers should be designed and fabricated digitally. However, how the fracture load of digitally veneered restorations compares with conventionally fabricated restorations is unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the fracture load of digitally and conventionally veneered zirconia and cobalt chromium crowns initially and after thermomechanical aging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Milled zirconia and cobalt chromium copings for a maxillary canine were fabricated (N=96). Digital veneers were milled and connected to the copings with a sintered ceramic slurry. The conventional veneers were fabricated by using a master mold, and the crowns were bonded to the cobalt chromium abutments. Half the specimens were subjected to 6000 thermal (5 °C to 55 °C, 60 seconds) and 1 200 000 mechanical (50 N, 1.5 Hz, 0.7 mm lateral movement) cycles opposed by steatite antagonists, and the fracture load was determined. Fracture types were categorized, and scanning electron microscopy performed. The data were analyzed with a 3-way global univariate analysis of variance, t test, the Pearson chi-squared test, and the Weibull modulus (α=.05). RESULTS: Unlike the framework material (P=.316) and artificial aging (P=.064), the veneering protocol affected the fracture load (P=.007). Digital veneers (range: 2242 to 2929 N) led to lower values than conventional veneers (range: 2825 to 3166 N), which was significant for aged cobalt chromium copings (P=.024; 2242 versus 3107 N). Conventionally veneered crowns showed lower Weibull moduli after thermomechanical aging (range: 3.2 to 3.5) than initially (range: 7.8 to 11.4). The copings of all the zirconia specimens fractured, while chipping occurred with the cobalt chromium specimens. CONCLUSIONS: The high fracture load values of the veneered crowns, even after simulated 5-year aging, indicated sufficient mechanical properties (nearly 4-fold the average occlusal force of 600 N) for the successful clinical application of digitally veneered zirconia and cobalt chromium copings.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the chemical (degree of conversion (DC)) and mechanical properties (Martens hardness (HM), elastic indentation modulus (EIT), and biaxial flexural strength (BFS)) of four dual-polymerizing resin composite core build-up materials after light- and self-polymerization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Round specimens with a diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm were manufactured from CLEARFIL DC CORE PLUS (CLE; Kuraray), core·X flow (COR; Dentsply Sirona), MultiCore Flow (MUL; Ivoclar Vivadent), and Rebilda DC (REB; VOCO) (N = 96, n = 24/material). Half of the specimens were light-polymerized (Elipar DeepCure-S, 3 M), while the other half cured by self-polymerization (n = 12/group). Immediately after fabrication, the DC, HM, EIT, and BFS were determined. Data was analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation, and Weibull statistics (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Light-polymerization either led to similar EIT (MUL; p = 0.119) and BFS (MUL and REB; p = 0.094-0.326) values or higher DC, HM, EIT, and BFS results (all other groups; p < 0.001-0.009). When compared with the other materials, COR showed a high DC (p < 0.001) and HM (p < 0.001) after self-polymerization and the highest BFS (p = 0.020) and Weibull modulus after light-polymerization. Positive correlations between all four tested parameters (R = 0.527-0.963, p < 0.001) were found. CONCLUSIONS: For the tested resin composite core build-up materials, light-polymerization led to similar or superior values for the degree of conversion, Martens hardness, elastic indentation modulus, and biaxial flexural strength than observed after self-polymerization. Among the tested materials, COR should represent the resin composite core build-up material of choice due to its high chemical (degree of conversion) and mechanical (Martens hardness, elastic indentation modulus, and biaxial flexural strength) properties and its high reliability after light-polymerization. The examined chemical and mechanical properties showed a positive correlation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The chemical and mechanical performance of dual-polymerizing resin composite core build-up materials is significantly affected by the chosen polymerization mode.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the degree of conversion (DC), Martens hardness (HM), elastic indentation modulus (EIT), and biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of six dual-polymerizing resin composite luting materials initially and after 2 and 7 days of aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Specimens fabricated from Bifix QM (BIF; VOCO), Calibra Ceram (CAL; Dentsply Sirona), DuoCem (DUO; Coltène/Whaledent), G-CEM LinkForce (GCE; GC Europe), PANAVIA V5 (PAN; Kuraray Europe), and Variolink Esthetic DC (VAR; Ivoclar Vivadent) (n = 12 per material) were light-polymerized through 1 mm thick discs (Celtra Duo, Dentsply Sirona). DC, HM, and EIT were recorded directly after fabrication, and after 2 and 7 days of aging. As a final test, BFS was measured. Univariate ANOVAs, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests, and Weibull modulus were computed (p < 0.05). RESULTS: While CAL presented low DC, HM, EIT, and BFS values, DUO and BIF showed high results. Highest Weibull moduli were observed for VAR and DUO. DC and Martens parameters increased between the initial measurement and 2 days of aging, while aging for 7 days provided no further improvement. CONCLUSIONS: The choice of dual-polymerizing resin composite luting material plays an important role regarding chemical and mechanical properties, especially with patients sensitive to toxicological issues. DUO may be recommended for bonding fixed dental prostheses, as it demonstrated significantly highest and reliable results regarding DC, HM, and BFS. As DC and HM showed an increase in the first 48 h, it may be assumed that the polymerization reaction is not completed directly after initial polymerization, which is of practical importance to dentists and patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The chemical and mechanical properties of dual-polymerizing resin composite luting materials influence the overall stability and long-term performance of the restoration.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the material and corresponding sintering protocol, layer thickness, and aging on the two-body wear (2BW) and fracture load (FL) of 4Y-TZP crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multi-layer 4Y-TZP crowns in three thicknesses (0.5 mm/1.0 mm/1.5 mm) were sintered by high-speed (Zolid RS) or conventional (Zolid Gen-X) sintering. 2BW of ceramic and enamel antagonist after aging (1,200,000 mechanical-, 6000 thermal-cycles) was determined by 3D-scanning before and after aging and subsequent matching to determine volume and height loss (6 subgroups, n = 16/subgroup). FL was examined initially and after aging (12 subgroups, n = 16/subgroup). Fractographic analyses were performed using light-microscope imaging. Global univariate analysis of variance, one-way ANOVA, linear regression, Spearman's correlation, Kolgomorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, and t test were computed (alpha = 0.05). Weibull moduli were determined. Fracture types were analyzed using Ciba Geigy table. RESULTS: Material/sintering protocol did not influence 2BW (crowns: p = 0.908, antagonists: p = 0.059). High-speed sintered Zolid RS presented similar (p = 0.325-0.633) or reduced (p < 0.001-0.047) FL as Zolid Gen-X. Both 4Y-TZPs showed an increased FL with an increasing thickness (0.5(797.3-1429 N) < 1.0(2087-2634 N) < 1.5(2683-3715 N)mm; p < 0.001). For most groups, aging negatively impacted FL (p < 0.001-0.002). Five 0.5 mm specimens fractured, four showed cracks during and after aging. CONCLUSIONS: High-speed sintered crowns with a minimum thickness of 1.0 mm showed sufficient mechanical properties to withstand masticatory forces, even after a simulated aging period of 5 years. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Despite the manufacturer indicating a thickness of 0.5 mm to be suitable for single crowns, a minimum thickness of 1.0 mm should be used to ensure long-term satisfactory results.

RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Data concerning the mechanical properties of the newly developed lithium disilicate ceramic HS10PC are lacking. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the flexural strength (FS), Martens hardness (HM), indentation modulus (EIT), fracture load (FL), and wear resistance (WR) of HS10PC compared with those of the established glass-ceramics IPS e.max Press and IPS Empress Esthetic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four pressable glass-ceramics were examined: HS10PC (estetic ceram ag), IPS e.max Press low translucency (LT) and high translucency (HT; Ivoclar Vivadent AG), and IPS Empress Esthetic (ES; Ivoclar Vivadent AG). For each material, a total of 85 specimens were fabricated. Specimens were subdivided into 4 groups for FS (n=30), HM, EIT (n=10), and FL measurement according to the Voss test after artificial aging in an autoclave (n=15), artificial aging in a mastication simulator (n=15), and no artificial aging (n=15). In addition, WR (n=10) was measured after 240 000, 600 000, and 1 200 000 masticatory cycles. Data were statistically analyzed using the global univariate ANOVA, the Scheffé post hoc and paired t tests, and Weibull distribution (α=.05). RESULTS: HT showed the highest FS, while ES presented the lowest FS of all groups (P<.001). ES showed lower values for HM (P<.001), EIT (P<.001), and FL for specimens treated in an autoclave and mastication simulator (P<.001) compared with all other groups. An increase in the wear of the ceramic and enamel antagonist between 240 000 and 1 200 000 masticatory cycles was observed for all groups (P<.001). After 1 200 000 masticatory cycles, HS10PC presented less wear of the ceramic than the other 3 materials (P=.003). CONCLUSIONS: The newly developed lithium disilicate ceramic HS10PC showed comparable results with the established IPS e.max Press for FS, HM, EIT, FL, and WR. Lithium disilicate ceramics presented higher mechanical results than the leucite-reinforced ES, with all the ceramics showing similar results for the WR of the enamel antagonist.

RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU) is a thermoplastic that can be processed using 3-dimensional printing. PPSU is new to dentistry, and scientific data on its properties are lacking. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to test the surface properties and the tensile bond strength (TBS) between PPSU and a veneering composite resin in comparison with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Gehr PPSU (PPSU-B1), Radel R-5000 NT (PPSU-B2), and Juvora Dental Disc (PEEK-CG) substrates were cut from bulk material, while FIL-A-GEHR PPSU (PPSU-3D) was 3-dimensionally printed (N=504, n=126/material). TBS to veneering composite resin (CeramageUp) was tested initially and after 5000 and 10 000 thermocycles, and fracture types were analyzed. Surface free energy (SFE) and surface roughness (Ra) were determined after pretreatment with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) of different grain sizes (50 and 110 µm) applied with different pressures (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 MPa), silicon dioxide (SiO2)-coated Al2O3 (0.28 MPa), sulfuric acid, or polished. Qualitative surface characterization was performed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). One-way ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and the Spearman correlation tests were computed (α=.05). RESULTS: PPSU-3D and PEEK-CG presented higher TBS results than PPSU-B1 and PPSU-B2. Initial TBS values were higher than after 10 000 thermocycles. Adhesive fractures between substrate and veneering composite resin occurred most frequently. With a few exceptions, PEEK-CG presented higher SFE values than all other materials within a pretreatment group, while PPSU-3D and PEEK-CG showed consistently high Ra values. An increase in pressure and particle size increased SFE and Ra. CONCLUSIONS: FFF-printed PPSU-3D showed similar TBS values with the veneering composite resin to the more established PEEK. Pretreatment methods devised for PEEK represent valid strategies for increasing both the SFE and Ra of the high-performance polymer PPSU.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To examine the retention force of removable dental prosthesis (RDP) clasps made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo, control group) after storage in water and artificial aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For each material, 15 Bonwill clasps with retentive buccal and reciprocal lingual arms situated between the second pre- and first molar were manufactured by milling (Dentokeep [PEEKmilled1], NT digital implant technology; breCAM BioHPP Blank [PEEKmilled2], bredent), pressing (BioHPP Granulat for 2 press [PEEKpressed], bredent), or casting (remanium GM 800+ [CoCrMo], Dentaurum); N = 60, n = 15/subgroup. A total of 50 retention force measurements were performed for each specimen per aging level (initial; after storage [30 days, 37 °C] and 10,000 thermal cycles; after storage [60 days, 37 °C] and 20,000 thermal cycles) in a pull-off test. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA, post hoc Scheffé and mixed models (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Initial, PEEKpressed (80.2 ± 35.2) and PEEKmilled1 (98.9 ± 40.3) presented the lowest results, while PEEKmilled2 (170.2 ± 51.8) showed the highest values. After artificial aging, the highest retention force was observed for the control group (131.4 ± 56.8). The influence of artificial aging was significantly higher for PEEK-based materials. While PEEKmilled2 and PEEKpressed showed an initial decline in retention force, all other groups presented no impact or an increase in retention force over a repetitive insertion and removal of the clasps. CONCLUSIONS: Within the tested PEEK materials, PEEKmilled2 presented superior results than PEEKpressed. Although CoCrMo showed higher values after artificial aging, all materials exhibited sufficient retention to recommend usage under clinical conditions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: As RDPs are still employed for a wide range of indications, esthetic alternatives to conventional CoCrMo clasps are sought.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the retention force of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) removable dental prosthesis clasps in comparison with a cobalt-chrome-molybdenum control group after storage in artificial saliva. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clasps were milled (Dentokeep (PEEKmilled1), NT digital implant technology; breCAM BioHPP Blank (PEEKmilled2), bredent), pressed (BioHPP Granulat for 2 press (PEEKpressed), bredent), or cast (remanium GM 800+ (cobalt-chrome-molybdenum), Dentaurum); N = 60, n = 15/subgroup. Retention force was examined 50 times/specimen in a pull-off test using the universal testing machine (Zwick 1445), where pull-off force was applied with a crosshead speed of 5 mm/minute until the maximum force dropped by 10%, at different aging levels: (1) initial, after storage in artificial saliva for (2) 90 and (3) 180 days. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Scheffé-test and mixed models (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum presented the highest retention force. No differences were observed between polyetheretherketone materials. Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum showed a significant decrease of its values after artificial aging, while polyetheretherketone materials presented similar results over the course of aging. Regarding a repetitive insertion and removal, even though PEEKmilled2 and cobalt-chrome-molybdenum showed an initial increase, ultimately, a decrease in retention force was observed for all tested groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although the control group showed significantly higher results, the retention force of polyetheretherketone materials indicate a potential clinical application. Neither the manufacturing process nor artificial aging showed an impact on the retention force of polyetheretherketone clasps. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Mechanical properties of novel removable dental prosthesis clasp materials devised to meet the growing esthetic demands of patients need to be investigated to ensure a successful long-term clinical application.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To examine the influence of different finishing procedures on the surface roughness, wear resistance and fracture load of strength-gradient multilayered zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Zirconia crowns (Multilayer 3D pro; n = 96) were manufactured and treated with a lithium-silicate- (LISI_S), leucite-based glaze spray (LEU_S), leucite-based glaze mass (LEU_M) or polished (POL). Natural molars (CG; n = 24) acted as a control. Roughness was determined on flat glazed specimens (n = 28). Two-body wear was examined by digitalizing and matching the occlusal surface before and after thermo-mechanical aging (6,000 thermal and 1,200,000 chewing cycles). The groups were split to measure fracture load initially and after aging. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Spearman correlation, Kruskal-Wallis-H, Levene's test, one-way ANOVA with Scheffé post-hoc and Weibull modulus were computed. RESULTS: POL presented the lowest and LEU_S the highest roughness. Following POL, no ceramic loss was observed. LISI_S, LEU_S and LEU_M showed lower ceramic wear than the CG. The lowest wear of the antagonist was observed for the CG. LISI_S showed a lower antagonistic wear than LEU_S, LEU_M and POL. LISI_S, LEU_S, LEU_M and POL showed higher fracture load values and Weibull moduli than the CG. Artificial aging did not impact the fracture load or Weibull moduli. SIGNIFICANCE: With glazed groups showing height losses closer to the CG, glazing should be preferred to polishing when approximating the wear behavior of a natural dentition. Finishing of monolithic zirconia by glazing with a lithium silicate-based spray is recommended to preserve the antagonists. All examined zirconia crowns presented sufficient mechanical properties to withstand masticatory forces, even after prolonged aging.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the fracture toughness (KIC), work of fracture (WOF), flexural strength (FS) and elastic modulus (E) of four additively manufactured denture base resins in two different measurement environments after artificial aging. METHODS: Rectangular specimens in two different dimensions (n = 480) were 3D-printed with four denture base resins: Denture 3D+ (DEN; NextDent), Fotodent Denture (FOT; Dreve ProDiMed), Freeprint Denture (FRE; Detax), V-Print dentbase (VPR; VOCO)). KIC, WOF, FS and E were measured after (1) water-storage (37 °C; KIC = 7 d; FS = 50 h); (2) water-storage + hydrothermal-aging (20 min, 0.2 MPa, 134 °C); (3) water storage + thermocycling (10,000 cycles, 5/55 °C) in two measurement environments (i) air-23 °C and (ii) water-37 °C. For FS, fracture types were classified, and relative frequencies determined. Univariate ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman's correlation were calculated (p < 0.05, SPSS V.27.0). Weibull modulus (m) was calculated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. RESULTS: DEN showed the highest KIC (5/6 groups), WOF and highest corresponding m (1/6 groups), while FRE presented the highest FS (2/6 groups) and E values. Hydrothermal-aging and thermocycling reduced KIC and WOF, FS and E, and the number of FS fracture pieces. For 6/8 groups, hydrothermal aging resulted in lower FS than thermocycling. Measurement in air-23 °C led to higher FS for 7/12 groups and a more brittle fracture behavior. A positive correlation between KIC and FS was observed. SIGNIFICANCE: With measurements in air-23 °C resulting in higher FS than reported in water-37 °C, the measurement environment should be adapted to the clinical situation to allow valid predictions on the mechanical behavior of denture base resins when in situ.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence of the zirconia and sintering parameters on the optical and mechanical properties. METHODS: Three zirconia materials (3/4Y-TZP, 4Y-TZP, 3Y-TZP) were high-speed (HSS), speed (SS) or conventionally (CS) sintered. Disc-shaped specimens nested in 4 vertical layers of the blank were examined for grain size (GS), crystal phases (c/t'/t/m-phase), translucency (T), and biaxial flexural strength. Fracture load (FL) of three-unit fixed dental prostheses was determined initially and after thermomechanical aging. Fracture types were classified, and data statistically analyzed. RESULTS: 4Y-TZP showed a higher amount of c + t'-phase and lower amount of t-phase, and higher optical and lower mechanical properties than 3Y-TZP. In all materials, T declined from Layer 1 to 4. 3/4Y-TZP showed the highest FL, followed by 3Y-TZP, while 4Y-TZP showed the lowest. In 4Y-TZP, the sintering parameters exercised a direct impact on GS and T, while mechanical properties were largely unaffected. The sintering parameters showed a varying influence on 3Y-TZP. Thermomechanical aging resulted in comparable or higher FL. CONCLUSION: 3/4Y-TZP presenting the highest FL underscores the principle of using strength-gradient multi-layer blanks to profit from high optical properties in the incisal area, while ensuring high mechanical properties in the lower areas subject to tensile forces. With all groups exceeding maximum bite forces, the examined three-unit FDPs showed promising long-term mechanical properties.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the fracture load of different veneers for monolithic single-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made of a novel potential framework material, polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The fracture loads of four PPSU frameworks with different veneers (manual polymer veneer with Ceramage Body A3B; prefabricated polymer veneer with Novo.lign; digital polymer veneer with Telio CAD; digital ceramic veneer with IPS Empress CAD) and a monolithic control group (PPSU, Gehr) were examined initially and after 1,200,000 masticatory (50 N, 1.3 Hz) and 6,000 thermal cycles (5°C/55°C). Fracture analysis was performed using light microscope imaging. Fracture types were classified, and relative frequencies were determined. Univariate analysis of variance, post hoc Scheffé, partial eta squared, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Weibull moduli using the maximum likelihood estimation method were calculated. The defined level of significance was adjusted by Bonferroni correction (P < .005). RESULTS: Aging did not affect the fracture load values. Single-unit FDPs with a digital ceramic veneer showed lower values than monolithic and manual polymer-veneer specimens. Single-unit FDPs with a prefabricated and digital polymer veneer were in the same value range as specimens with a manual polymer and digital ceramic veneer. No differences were observed between manual polymer veneer and monolithic single-unit FDPs. All veneered specimens showed a fracture of the veneer. For monolithic single-unit FDPs, a plastic deformation was observed. CONCLUSION: Veneered and monolithic PPSU showed sufficient fracture load values to indicate successful clinical use in single-unit FDPs. The choice of veneering method and material may play a minor role.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the water sorption (wsp), water solubility (wsl), degree of conversion (DC), elastic indentation modulus (EIT), edge chipping resistance (ECR) and flexural strength (FS) of 3D-printed, milled and conventionally polymerized denture base resin materials. METHODS: Specimens (N = 540) were 3D-printed (NextDent Denture 3D+ (DEN), Fotodent Denture (FOT), Freeprint Denture (FRE), V-Print dentbase (VPR)), cut (Ivotion Base (IVO)) and molded (PalaXpress (PAL)) in three geometries. Wsp,wsl,DC, EIT, ECR and FS were tested initially (24 h, 37 °C, H20) and after additional aging (5000 thermal cycles, 5/55 °C). Data were analyzed with Kolmogorov-Smirnov, univariate ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's correlation (p < 0.05) RESULTS: Most 3D-printed denture base resins showed higher wsp (25.31-37.94 µg/mm3) and wsl (0.08-8.27 µg/mm3), but also higher EIT (3.11-4.09 GPa) and FS (60.81-99.57N/mm2) values than the control groups. DEN and VPR showed high DC (89.36-93.53%), EIT (3.77-4.09 GPa) and FS (79.65-99.57N/mm2), while FOT showed low wsp (25.31-27.35 µg/mm3) and wsl (1.01-3.87 µg/mm3) values. In all materials, the examined parameters were affected by aging. SIGNIFICANCE: Although 3D-printed denture base resins showed promising results with regard to the observed DC and FS, only FOT and FRE surpassed the threshold values defined by the ISO norms.

RESUMO

The present investigation tested the effect of cleaning methods and adhesives on the tensile bond strength (TBS) of a resin-based composite luted to a temporary 3D printed resin. Substrates (n= 360) were printed using a Rapidshape D20II and cleaned with a butyldiglycol-based solution, isopropanol, or by centrifugation. Specimens were air-abraded with Al2O3 (mean particle size 50 µm) at 0.1 MPa followed by pretreatment (n = 30/subgroup) with: (1) Clearfil Ceramic Primer (CCP); (2) Clearfil Universal Bond (CUB); (3) Scotchbond Universal Plus (SUP) or 4. Visio.link (VL) and luted to PanaviaV5. TBS (n = 15/subgroup) was measured initially (24 h at 37 °C water) or after thermal cycling (10,000×, 5/55 °C). The degree of conversion (DC) for each cleaning method was determined prior and after air-abrasion. Univariate ANOVA followed by post-hoc Scheffé test was computed (p < 0.05). Using Ciba-Geigy tables and chi-square, failure types were analyzed. The DC values were >85% after all cleaning methods, with centrifugation showing the lowest. CCP pretreatment exhibited the lowest TBS values, with predominantly adhesive failures. The combination of CCP and centrifugation increased the TBS values (p < 0.001) compared to the chemical cleaning. CUB, SUP, and VL, regardless of cleaning, can increase the bond strength between the 3D printed resin and the conventional luting resin.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of crown geometry, crown/abutment/antagonist material and thermal loading on the two-body wear of dental materials caused by chewing simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the crown geometry, crowns (polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and silicate ceramic (SiO2)) were milled with a flat, steep, or medium cusp inclination (CINC). For the crown/abutment material, crowns (PMMA, PEEK and SiO2) were combined with PMMA, polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN), cobalt-chrome alloy (CoCr) and natural teeth (ENAM) abutments. For the antagonist material, antagonists were fabricated from PICN, CAD/CAM resin composite (RECO), steatite (STEA), steel (STL) and ENAM and tested against flat specimens (substrates) made of veneering ceramic (VC). For thermal loading, the duration (30 s, 60 s, 120 s) and presence of temperature changes (37 °C versus 5 °C/55 °C) was varied. Material losses were determined by matching scanned specimens before and after aging (400,000 chewing cycles, 50 N, 1.3 Hz). Martens parameters were determined for the antagonists/substrates. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test, Kruskal-Wallis H, Scheffé-Post-Hoc-tests, pairwise comparisons, Bonferroni correction, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney-U and Spearman rho. RESULTS: PMMA crowns presented the highest and PEEK the lowest material losses. Flat CINC showed the lowest material losses for PEEK and SiO2 crowns. CoCr and ENAM abutments presented material losses in the same range. Antagonist and cumulative material losses for RECO and ENAM were similar. Thermal loading did not influence material losses. SIGNIFICANCE: Crown geometry influences the crown and antagonists wear, with an increased cusp inclination entailing increased wear. For in vitro set-ups, CoCr abutments and RECO antagonists present valid alternatives to natural teeth. For polymers, in vitro chewing simulations may be performed at a constant temperature (37 °C).

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of high-speed sintering and artificial aging on the fracture load of three-unit zirconia fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three-unit FDPs manufactured from 3Y-TZP (Ceramill Zolid, Amann Girrbach) and 4Y-TZP (Ceramill Zolid HT+, Amann Girrbach; N = 128, n = 64/group) were sintered at 1,580°C (high-speed sintering) or at 1,450°C (control group; n = 32/subgroup). Specimens were bonded to steel abutment models using Multilink Automix (Ivoclar Vivadent), and fracture load was examined without (n = 16/subgroup) and with artificial aging (6,000 thermocycles [5°C/55°C] and 1,200,000 chewing cycles [50 N]; n = 16/subgroup). Univariate analysis of variance, unpaired t test, and Weibull modulus were computed (P < .05). RESULTS: Sintering protocol (P = .944), artificial aging (P = .630), and zirconia material (P = .445) did not show an influence on the fracture load of three-unit FDPs. High-speed sintering led to superior Weibull modulus results for artificially aged 4Y-TZP specimens, while all other groups showed values in the same range. CONCLUSION: The present study shows promising results for the novel high-speed sintering protocol, as it led to comparable fracture load and similar, or even superior, Weibull modulus results compared to the control group. The 4Y-TZP material presented fracture load results similar to the tried-and-tested 3Y-TZP. Artificial aging did not influence zirconia's resistance to fracture for either 3Y-TZP or 4Y-TZP.

RESUMO

In the seminal field of 3D printing of dental restorations, the time and cost saving manufacturing of removable and fixed dental prostheses from thermoplastic polymer materials employing fused filament fabrication (FFF) is gaining momentum. As of today, the additive manufacturing of the established semi-crystalline polyetheretherketone (PEEK) requires extensive post-processing and lacks precision. In this context, the amorphous polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU) may provide a higher predictability and reliability of the results. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of PPSU and PEEK processed by FFF (PPSU1-3D (PPSU Radel) and PPSU2-3D (Ultrason P 3010 NAT)) or extrusion (PPSU1-EX (Radel R-5000 NT) and PEEK-CG (PEEK Juvora)). Three-point flexural strength, two-body wear, and Martens hardness (HM) and indentation modulus (EIT) were tested after aging. One-way ANOVA, the Kruskal-Wallis and the Pearson's and Spearman's correlation tests were computed (α = 0.05). PPSU1-3D and PPSU2-3D showed lower flexural strength values than PPSU1-EX and PEEK-CG. PPSU1-3D showed the highest, and PEEK-CG and PPSU1-EX the lowest height loss. The highest HM and EIT results were observed for PEEK-CG and the lowest for PPSU1-3D. Correlations were observed between all parameters except for the application height. In conclusion, the manufacturing process affected the flexural strength of PPSU, with 3D printed specimens presenting lower values than specimens cut from prefabricated molded material. This finding indicates that the 3D printing parameters employed for the additive manufacturing of PPSU specimens in the present investigation require further optimization. For 3D printed specimens, the quality of the filament showed an impact on the mechanical properties, underlining the importance of adhering to high quality standards during filament fabrication. Extruded PPSU led to comparable results with PEEK for flexural strength and two-body wear, indicating this novel dental restorative material to be a suitable alternative to the established PEEK for the manufacturing of both removable and fixed dental prostheses.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the edge chipping resistance (ECR) of six veneering composite resins after different treatment protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Rectangular bar specimens were manufactured from Ceramage Incisal (CER; Shofu), dialog Vario Occlusal (DIA; Schütz Dental), Gradia Plus Heavy Body Enamel (GRA; GC Europe), in:joy incisal (INJ; Dentsply Sirona Deutschland), SR Nexco Paste Incisal (SRN; Ivoclar Vivadent), and Signum composite enamel (SIG; Kulzer). ECR was determined after five treatment protocols: (1) no treatment, (2) after storage in distilled water at 37 °C for 7 days, (3) storage in distilled water with an additional 10 000 thermal cycles (5 °C/55 °C), and hydrothermal treatment at 134 °C at a water vapor pressure of 0.2 MPa for a duration of (4) 3.5 min or (5) 23.5 min. Force was applied with the universal testing machine ZHU 0.2 (Zwick Roell) mounted with a Vickers diamond indenter until the chip fractured off the specimen and ECR values were computed by dividing the applied maximum force by the distance to the center of the applied force. Fracture analysis was performed employing light microscope imaging. Univariate and one-way ANOVA, Scheffé and Tukey-B post hoc, and partial eta squared (ƞp2) were computed (p < 0.05). RESULTS: DIA presented consistently high ECR values, while CER showed low results. For some groups, seven days' storage in water and hydrothermal treatment for 3.5 min led to higher ECR results than observed in the initial state, while an additional 10 000 thermal cycles and hydrothermal treatment for 23.5 min resulted in lower ECR values. CONCLUSIONS: The examined veneering composite resins differed in regard to their mechanical properties, with DIA possessing the highest resistance to chipping. While post-processing can initially increase a material's edge chipping resistance, intensified treatment protocols reduced the mechanical properties of veneering composite resins.

RESUMO

To investigate the degree of conversion (DC), Martens hardness (HM), elastic indentation modulus (EIT), and flexural strength (FS) of veneering resin composites (SR Nexco Paste (NP), Ceramage Incisal (CI), Gradia Plus (GP); n=60/group) cured with different polymerization devices (bre.Lux Power Unit, Labolight DUO, Otoflash G171, LC-3DPrint Box, PCU LED; n=12/subgroup) after storage. Otoflash G171 and Labolight DUO showed increased DC/HM/EIT. CI presented the lowest DC and highest HM/EIT. NP showed the highest DC and lowest HM/EIT. Within Otoflash G171, Laboligth DUO and PCU LED, highest FS was observed for CI. Storage did not affect DC/HM/EIT for specimens cured with Otoflash G171 or Labolight DUO. With storage not showing an influence on the tested parameters for polymerization devices that otherwise presented superior results, increased storage time cannot be recommended. For the tested resin composites, this study observed a high/low degree of conversion to coincide with respectively low/high amounts of fillers/mechanical properties.
