RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Due to the dynamic character of the stomatognathic system, fatigue life experiments simulating the cyclic loading experienced by implant-supported restorations are critical consideration. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different crown and abutment materials on fatigue failure of single implant-supported crowns. METHODS: Models were created for 10 different designs of implant-supported single crowns including two zirconia-reinforced lithium silicates (crystallized and precrystallized), monolithic lithium disilicate, polymer-infiltrated ceramic networks, and polyetheretherketone supported by zirconia and titanium abutments. A cyclic load of 179â¯N with a frequency of 1â¯Hz was applied on palatal cusp of a maxillary first premolar at a 30° angle in a buccolingual direction. RESULTS: In the models with titanium abutments, the polymer-infiltrated ceramic network model had a lower number of cycles to fatigue failure values in the implant (5.07), abutment (2.30), and screw (1.07) compared to others. In the models with zirconia abutments, the crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate model had a higher number of cycles to fatigue failure values in the abutment (8.52) compared to others. Depending on the fatigue criteria, polyetheretherketone implant crown could fail in less than five year while the other implant crowns exhibits an infinite life on all models. CONCLUSIONS: The type of abutment material had an effect on the number of cycles to fatigue failure values for implants, abutments, and screws, but had no effect on crown materials. The zirconia abutment proved longer fatigue lifetime, and should thus be considered for implant-supported single crowns.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of new and used burs on CAD-CAM PMMA resin color changes following thermocycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty disk-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) were made using a single brand of CAD-CAM polymethyl methacrylate resin (Polident) for the color test. Group N consisted of half of the specimens that were machined using the new tungsten carbide bur set, and Group U consisted of the specimens that were milled using the used bur set (500 machining time). A color test was performed on the specimens both before and after thermocycling. For the statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn Pairwise Comparison tests were employed. RESULTS: The ∆E* value of specimens (2.057) milled with the used bur was higher than those of specimens milled with the new bur (0.340), but this value is within clinically acceptable limits. After thermocycling, specimens milled with the utilized burs had the greatest L* (93.850) and b* (5.000) values. After thermocycling, statistically significant differences were discovered between Group N and Group U as well as between specimens milled with the utilized bur before and after thermocycling. CONCLUSION: Thermocycling process have an effect on the mean ∆E values of specimens milled with the used carbide bur, but these ∆E* values were not statistically significant. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The color and clinical performance of CAD-CAM restorations may be affected by variations in CAD-CAM milling bur properties, particularly those related to their frequent use.

PURPOSE: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the changes the rheological properties of some soft lining materials, to compare the rheological properties and viscoelastic behaviour at different temperatures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five soft lining materials (acrylic and silicone based) were used. the storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G"), tan delta (tan δ) and complex viscosity (η') were chosen and for each material, measurements were repeated at 23, 33 and 37 °C, using an oscillating rheometer. All data were statistically analyzed using the Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and Conover's Multiple Comparison test at the significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: Soft lining materials had different viscoelastic properties and most of the materials showed different rheological behavior at 23, 33 and 37 °C. At the end of the test (t¹5), at all the temperatures, Sofreliner Tough M had the highest storage modulus values while Visco Gel had the highest loss Tan delta values. CONCLUSIONS: There were significant changes in the rheological parameters of all the materials. Also temperature affected the initial rheological properties, and polymerization reaction of all the materials, depending on temperature increase. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Temperature affected the initial rheological properties, and polymerization reaction of soft denture liner materials, and clinical inferences should be drawn from such studies conducted. It can be recommended to utilize viscoelastic acrylic-based temporary soft lining materials with lower storage modulus, higher tan delta value, and high viscosity in situations where pain complaint persists and tissue stress is extremely significant, provided that they are replaced often.

BACKGROUND: This Finite Element Analysis was conducted to analyze the biomechanical behaviors of titanium base abutments and several crown materials with respect to fatigue lifetime and stress distribution in implants and prosthetic components. METHODS: Five distinct designs of implant-supported single crowns were modeled, including a polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, monolithic lithium disilicate, and precrystallized and crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicates supported by a titanium base abutment. For the static load, a 100 N oblique load was applied to the buccal incline of the palatal cusp of the maxillary right first premolar. The dynamic load was applied in the same way as in static loading with a frequency of 1 Hz. The principal stresses in the peripheral bone as well as the von Mises stresses and fatigue strength of the implants, abutments, prosthetic screws, and crowns were assessed. RESULTS: All of the models had comparable von Mises stress values from the implants and abutments, as well as comparable maximum and minimum principal stress values from the cortical and trabecular bones. The PEEK crown showed the lowest stress (46.89 MPa) in the cervical region. The prosthetic screws and implants exhibited the highest von Mises stress among the models. The lithium disilicate crown model had approximately 9.5 times more cycles to fatique values for implants and 1.7 times more cycles to fatique values for abutments than for the lowest ones. CONCLUSIONS: With the promise of at least ten years of clinical success and favorable stress distributions in implants and prosthetic components, clinicians can suggest using an implant-supported lithium disilicate crown with a titanium base abutment.

PURPOSE: Dental ceramics deteriorate as a result of thermal aging and exposure to acidic solutions, which change their microhardness and surface roughness. This study assessed the resistance of several computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative dental materials in terms of surface roughness and microhardness following exposure to acidic solutions and thermal aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five different monolithic CAD-CAM restorative materials, two leucite-reinforced glass ceramics (G-Ceram and CEREC Blocs), a zirconia-infiltrated lithium silicate (Celtra Duo), a resin nanoceramic (Grandio), and monolithic zirconia (inCoris TZI), were used to create 2-mm-thick rectangular specimens (n = 100). After being immersed in either acidic saliva (pH = 4.0) (ST) or gastric juice (pH = 1.2) (GT), each material was subjected to 10,000 cycles of thermal aging. The Vickers microhardness and average surface roughness of the specimens were assessed at baseline, following thermal aging and exposure to either gastric juice or acidic saliva. The surface properties were examined using an atomic force microscope. The MannâWhitney U test with Bonferroni correction and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis (a = 0.05). RESULTS: The surface roughness of two leucite-reinforced glass ceramics (G-ceram and CEREC) significantly decreased with ST (p = 0.027 and p = 0.044). Only the CEREC was affected when the aging protocols were compared, and the ST group had a significant reduction in roughness (p = 0.009). The microhardness values significantly decreased after both aging protocols in all groups except for the ST subgroup of G-Ceram. Only inCoris was affected when the aging protocols were compared, and the GT group exhibited a significant reduction in microhardness (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: The surface roughness of the tested materials was not affected by the GT. Only leucite ceramics exhibited a decrease in surface roughness in the ST stage. Both aging processes produced a significant decrease in the microhardness of the tested ceramics. Leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic materials may be advantageous for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and those with a diet high in acidic foods due to their lower values for changes in microhardness and surface roughness compared to those of other CAD-CAM materials.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of restorative materials with or without resin content, modeled on zirconia and titanium abutment materials, on the stress distribution on the alveolar bone, implant, and prosthetic crowns with a 3D finite element stress analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Titanium and zirconia abutments were combined with three implant-supported crown materials (polymer infiltrated hybrid ceramic (PICN), lithium disilicate (LD), and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)) to create six experimental groups. The 40 × 30 × 20 mm alveolar bone, 3.75 × 10 mm implant, esthetic abutment, and maxillary first premolar crown bonded over the abutment were the components of the finite element models. On the lingual cusp of the crown, the 150 N occlusal loading was applied in the buccolingual direction at a 30° angle. Equivalent von Mises stress and maximum and minimum principal stresses were used for both the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the stress distribution of the created models. RESULTS: The von Mises stress in implant and abutment did not differ according to the crown materials. The use of a zirconia abutment resulted in higher von Mises stress values in the abutment but lower stress values in the implant. The highest stress values were obtained in ZLS (196.65 MPa) and LD (194.05 MPa) crowns. The use of titanium abutments, regardless of crown materials, resulted in higher von Mises stress values in restorative crowns than in zirconia abutments. The principal stress values in alveolar bone showed similar distribution and concentration in all models. CONCLUSIONS: Changes in crown material did not affect stress distribution in the implant and peripheral bone. However, the zirconia esthetic abutment resulted in a lower stress concentration on the implant.
RESUMEN
The strength of zirconia ceramic materials used in restorations is dependent upon sintering. Varying sintering protocols may affect the biaxial flexural strength of zirconia materials. This in vitro study was conducted to investigate the effects of sintering parameters on the biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Two different monoblock zirconia ceramics were used. Following coloration, samples of both types of ceramics were divided into groups according to whether or not biaxial flexural strength testing was performed directly after sintering or following thermocycling. Biaxial flexural strength data was analysed with a Shapiro Wilk normality test, followed by 1-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc tests for inter-group comparisons, and paired samples t-tests for intra-group comparisons. A significant difference was found between the biaxial flexural strengths of Zircon X and Upcera ceramics before thermocycling (p<0.05). In both Zircon X and Upcera ceramic groups, the thermocycling process created a significant difference in the biaxial flexural strength values of the ceramic samples in Group 6 (p<0.05) which had the slowest heating rate and longest holding time. The zirconia ceramics have higher BFS at higher heating rates either before or after thermocycling. The holding time has significant effects on thermocycling and flexural strength. The zirconia achieved its optimum strength when it sintered at longer time regardless of heating rates.

This study's purpose is to assess the stress distribution in the peri-implant bone, implants, and prosthetic framework using two different posterior implant angles. All-on-four maxillary prostheses fabricated from feldspathic-ceramic-veneered zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) and feldspathic-ceramic-veneered cobalt-chromium (CoCr) were designed with 17 or 30-degree-angled posterior implants. Posterior cantilever and frontal vertical loads were applied to all models. The distribution of maximum and minimum principal stresses (σmax and σmin) and von Mises stress (σVM) was evaluated. Under posterior cantilever load, with an increase in posterior implant angle, σmax decreased by 4 and 7 MPa in the cortical bone when ZLS and CoCr were used as a prosthetic framework, respectively. Regardless of the framework material, 17-degree-angled posterior implants showed the highest σVM (541.36 MPa under posterior cantilever load; 110.79 MPa under frontal vertical load) values. Regardless of the posterior implant angle, ZLS framework showed the highest σVM (91.59 MPa under posterior cantilever load; 218.99 MPa under frontal vertical load) values. Increasing implant angle from 17 to 30° caused a decrease in σmax values in the cortical bone. Designs with 30-degree posterior implant angles and ZLS framework material may be preferred in All-on-four implant-supported fixed complete dentures.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The surface roughness (Ra) and wettability of complete denture base materials must meet certain clinical requirements. Although computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems have recently become popular for the fabrication of complete dentures, the effects of the repeated usage of milling burs on the surface properties of CAD-CAM denture base acrylic resins have not yet been fully investigated. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of new and used burs on the Ra and contact angles (wettability) of a CAD-CAM polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base material. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 40 Ø2×10-mm disks were fabricated from 1 brand of CAD-CAM PMMA resin (Polident). Half of the specimens (group N) were milled with a new tungsten carbide bur set, while the other half (group U) was milled with a used tungsten carbide bur set. Moreover, half of the specimens (groups NT and UT) were subjected to thermocycling before Ra and contact angle testing. Ra was tested by using a profilometer, and the surfaces were also examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The contact angle was measured by using the sessile drop method. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn Pairwise Comparison tests (α=.05). RESULTS: The mean contact angle was highest for group U (80 degrees) and lowest for group UT (66 degrees) (P<.05). Ra values were highest for group N (1.3 µm) and lowest for group U (0.93 µm) (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Specimens milled with new tungsten carbide burs had lower mean contact angles and higher Ra values than specimens milled with used burs. The contact angles of CAD-CAM PMMA resin specimens milled with used burs decreased significantly after thermocycling. Regardless of whether or not thermocycling was performed, contact angle values decreased as Ra values increased.

Background. This study aimed to evaluate the surface scale changes in the denture base material using different polymerization techniques, such as heat-cure/pressure polymerization system and injection molding technique with the stereophotogrammetric technique. The function of a complete denture is related to the adaptation of its base to the supporting areas. Proper adaptation of the base depends on the stability and retention of dentures. The surface scale changes of dentures during processing and in service are of great importance since they affect the denture base material's fit. Methods. This study focused on the use of a computer-assisted stereophotogrammetric method for measuring changes in the volume of three different denture base resins of an edentulous maxillary ridge. A stone master model simulating the shape of an edentulous maxillary arch was used to prepare three groups of denture base resins. The stereophotographs were evaluated to determine the surface scale differences of maxillary jaws. Results. The results showed no significant differences between the denture borders for three denture base materials (P > 0.05). Conclusion. In the evaluation made using this technique, no significant difference was found in the different polymerization techniques in terms of surface scale changes for three denture base materials. Stereophotogrammetry, especially the digital stereophotogrammetric technique, has several useful research applications in prosthodontics.
RESUMEN
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The flexural strength of zirconia restorations is partially dependent on the sintering process. Changes in sintering protocols as well as hydrothermal aging may affect the flexural strength of zirconia materials. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate how changes in sintering parameters and hydrothermal aging affect the biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Specimens were produced from 2 translucent monolithic zirconia ceramics (Zircon X ST, Upcera YZ HT). After coloring, specimens of both ceramics were distributed into groups and subjected to 1 of 6 different sintering protocols. Half were subjected to biaxial flexural strength tests directly after sintering, and the remaining specimens were subjected to hydrothermal aging and then to biaxial flexural strength testing. Biaxial flexural strength data were analyzed by using a statistical software program. Normality of distribution was determined by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Biaxial flexural strength data were compared among groups by using 1-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests, and intragroup data were compared by using paired specimens t tests (α=.05). RESULTS: The highest overall biaxial flexural strength value was obtained in UW-II. The highest biaxial flexural strength for Zircon X was obtained in ZX-VI and ZX-HTA-VI, whereas the highest biaxial flexural strength for Upcera was obtained in UW-II before hydrothermal aging and in UW-HTA-V after aging (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: The biaxial flexural strength of Zircon X increased with longer sintering times. Upcera specimens were more fracture-resistant than Zircon X both before and after hydrothermal aging. Based on these findings, longer sintering times are recommended to increase the strength of monolithic zirconia.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Prosthetic complications have been frequently reported in implant-supported complete-arch prosthesis. Prosthetic restorations designed with an all-on-four treatment concept and fabricated from zirconia ceramic may be used to overcome these problems. PURPOSE: The purpose of this biomechanical study was to evaluate the effects of cantilever length and inclination of implant on the stress distribution in bone tissue, implant, and a monolithic zirconia ceramic-lithium disilicate glass-ceramic superstructure for all-on-four prosthesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All-on-four mandibular prosthesis fabricated from a zirconia and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) superstructure was designed with cantilever lengths of either 5 mm or 9 mm and posterior implants with a distal tilt of either 15 or 30 degrees. Stresses were evaluated with a simulated application of a static load of 600 N. RESULTS: Increasing implant inclination from 15 to 30 degrees led to a decrease in maximum principal stress (MaxPS) values of approximately 4 to 7 MPa in cortical bone around all implants except the right anterior implant in the designs with short cantilevers and an increase in MaxPS values (approximately 3 to 19 MPa) in the same places in the designs with the long cantilevers. Increasing cantilever length from 5 to 9 mm resulted in an increase in minimum principal stress (MinPS) values of approximately 3 to 13 MPa in the cortical bone surrounding all posterior implants. In the designs with the long cantilever, MaxPS values increased approximately 3 to 4 MPa in spongy bone adjacent to the right posterior implant. An increase in cantilever length also led to higher vMS values at the first and second implant grooves in the right posterior implant in the design with the 15-degree implant tilt. An increase in implant inclination in the design with the short cantilever resulted in lower vMS values at the apex and all grooves of the left posterior implant, whereas in the design with the long cantilever, an increase in implant inclination resulted in lower stress values in the first and second grooves of the same implant. An increase in implant inclination led to in an increase in vMS values in the core structure. CONCLUSIONS: In zirconia ceramic restorations by using an all-on-four design with an LDGC superstructure, short cantilevers may be preferable because they result in a more favorable distribution of stress than long cantilevers. An increase in implant angulation from 15 to 30 degrees decreased MaxPS values in cortical bone.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to biomechanically evaluate the effects of cantilever length and implant inclination on the stress distribution of mandibular prosthetic restorations constructed from monolithic zirconia ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mandibular full-arch prostheses supported by four implants constructed from monolithic zirconia were designed using either a 5-mm or 9-mm cantilever length and a 15-degree or 30-degree distal tilt for the posterior implants. A simulated static load of 600 N was applied from the right side at a 45-degree angle. Von Mises and principal stress values in superstructures were analyzed using the Mesh VR Studio program. RESULTS: When the effects of cantilever length were examined, in the models with the 15-degree implant tilt, stress values for posterior implants, porcelain, and cortical bone were lower when the cantilever length was shorter (5 mm). In the models with the 30-degree implant tilt, stress values in all implants (except for the anterior implant on the right) and in the porcelain superstructure were lower when the cantilever length was shorter; however, stress values for cortical and spongious bone were lower with the longer (9 mm) cantilever. When the effects of implant inclination were examined, in the models with a 5-mm cantilever, stress values for posterior implants and cortical bone were lower when the implant tilt was more severe (30 degrees). In the models with a 9-mm cantilever length, stress values for the right anterior implant, posterior implants, and cortical bone were lower when the implant tilt was less severe (15 degrees). CONCLUSION: Cantilever length and posterior implant inclination affected the distribution of force. Increasing the cantilever length led to a reduction in stress values in distally tilted posterior implants. Moreover, increasing the distal inclination led to a reduction in stress values in both the distally tilted posterior implants and cortical bone tissue in the model with a short cantilever. The monolithic zirconia full-arch porcelain superstructure was not affected by implant angulation, but was affected by cantilever length, with lower stress values observed with a longer cantilever.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review was to evaluate the balling phenomenon which occurs typically in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). BACKGROUND DATA: The balling phenomenon is a typical SLS defect, and observed in laser sintered powder, significantly reduces the quality of SLS, and hinders the further development of SLS Technology. METHODS: Electronic database searches were performed using Google Scholar. The keywords "laser sintering, selective laser sintering, direct metal laser melting, and balling phenomenon" were searched in title/abstract of publications, limited to December 31, 2016. The inclusion criteria were SLS, balling phenomenon, some alloys (such as Cr-Co, iron, stainless steel, and Cu-based alloys) mechanical properties, microstructure and bond strength between metal-ceramic crown, laboratory studies, full text, and in English language. RESULTS: A total of 100 articles were found the initial search and yielded a total of 50 studies, 30 of which did not fulfill the inclusion criteria and were therefore excluded. In addition, 20 studies were found by screening the reference list of all included publications. Finally, 40 studies were selected for this review. CONCLUSIONS: The method in question is regulated by powder material characteristics and the conditions of laser processing. The procedure of formation, affecting factors, and the mechanism of the balling effect are very complex.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Information about the effect of occlusal preparation designs on the stress distribution in different ceramic crowns and the prepared tooth is limited. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of anatomic and nonanatomic occlusal preparation designs on the stress distribution in ceramic crowns, teeth, and bone. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Finite element analysis was performed on models of a mandibular second premolar. A load of 400 N was applied to the models to test ceramic materials (In-Ceram, Empress Esthetic) and occlusal preparation (anatomic, nonanatomic) designs. RESULTS: The lowest stress value occurred in the core material in the Empress Esthetic model prepared with the nonanatomic occlusal preparation design. In all groups, higher stress values were found to be concentrated in the lingual half of the dentin. Lower stress values were located near the apex of the pulp tissue and bony tissue that surround the root apex. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in preparation designs did not result in differences in the distribution or amount of stress in pulp, dentin, or bone. The use of different ceramic materials resulted in no differences in the amount or distribution of stress in pulp and bone. The use of a crown with a high elastic modulus led to increases in stress values in the restoration and the dentin margin, and decreases in stress values in the occlusal surface of the dentin. The nonanatomic design can be recommended as a favorable preparation design for Empress Esthetic ceramic.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Previous studies have not resolved the question as to which post and core combination optimizes the stress distribution within the post restoration and tooth. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine which post and core combination provides the most favorable stress distribution upon loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three-dimensional models of teeth were created with the Ansys program to simulate different materials used for post and cores (Ti, NiCr, AuPd, zirconia, zirconia post/composite resin core, glass fiber post/composite resin core, and carbon fiber post/composite resin core) and metal ceramic crowns (nickel chromium alloy [Group NiCr] and gold palladium alloy [Group AuPd]). A force of 400 N was applied to the occlusal surface, and von Mises equivalent stress values were calculated. RESULTS: Carbon fiber post/composite resin core/metal ceramic crowns with NiCr alloy core had the highest stress values in the weakened root, tooth/post interface, and post. NiCr post/NiCr core/metal ceramic crowns with NiCr alloy core had the lowest stress values in the weakened root and post. The zirconia post and core had the lowest stress value in the tooth/post interface. CONCLUSIONS: A post material with a high elastic modulus led to lower stress in the weakened root (approximately 6%) and tooth/post interface (approximately 12%) and to higher stress in the post (approximately 5 times). A composite resin core led to higher stress in the weakened root (approximately 11% to 17%) and lower deformation in the tooth/post interface (approximately 17.5%) and post materials (approximately 24%). Group AuPd resulted in lower stress in the root and high stress in the post (approximately 4.5% to 7%) and affected the amount of deformation in posts with a composite resin core.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Cement microfracture, post-and-core dislodgement, and tooth fracture are related to the mechanical properties and deformation of restorations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine which combinations of post-and-core cements provide the most favorable stress distribution upon loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three-dimensional models of teeth were created with the ANSYS program to simulate the different materials used for metal ceramic crowns (nickel-chromium, gold-palladium), posts and cores (Ti, Ni-Cr, Au-Pd), and cement (glass ionomer, composite resin, zinc phosphate, polycarboxylate, Panavia). Models were divided into 2 groups according to the alloys used in the crown restorations. A simulated masticatory force of 400 N was applied to the occlusal surface at a 45-degree inclination in the linguolabial direction to the long axis of the tooth, and von Mises equivalent stress values were calculated. RESULTS: The Ni-Cr metal ceramic crown/Au-Pd post-and-core/glass ionomer cement had the highest residual root von Mises equivalent stress value, whereas the Ni-Cr metal ceramic crown/Ni-Cr post-and-core/glass ionomer cement had the highest post stress value and the Ni-Cr metal ceramic crown/Au-Pd post-and-core/zinc phosphate cement had the highest cement stress value. For each post-and-core alloy, the stress values in the post and core were higher with Au-Pd metal ceramic crowns than with Ni-Cr metal ceramic crowns. The post-and-core material affected the amount of deformation. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a post-and-core material with a lower elastic modulus and a cement with a higher elastic modulus led to a reduction in deformation in the residual root, cement, and post and core, and a reduction in stress in the post and core. The Ni-Cr metal ceramic crown/Au-Pd post-and-core/zinc phosphate cement or Panavia may therefore be favorable for post-and-core restorations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The addition of previously cast alloy to new alloy for economic reasons may increase the release of elements. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of the immersion period, immersion media, and addition of previously cast alloy to new alloy on the release of elements. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Disk-shaped specimens were prepared from a Ni-Cr alloy (Ni: 61 wt%, Cr: 26 wt%, Mo: 11 wt%, Si: 1.5 wt%, Fe, Ce, Al, and Co <1 wt%) (Remanium CS; Dentaurum) with new alloy (group N) and 50% new/50% recast alloy (group R). After the immersion of the specimens in both NaCl (pH 4) and artificial saliva (pH 6.7) for 3, 7, 14, 30, and 60 days, the release of ions was determined by using atomic absorption spectrometry. Data were analyzed with a 3-way ANOVA (α=.001). RESULTS: The release of Ni was significantly affected by the immersion period, of Ni and Cr by the alloy and media (P<.01), and of Fe by the alloy (P<.01). Ion release from the recast alloy in artificial saliva was 109.71 for Ni, 6.49 for Cr, 223.22 for Fe, and 29.90 µg/L for Co. The release of Co in NaCl was below the detection limit in both groups. CONCLUSION: The release of Ni in NaCl and artificial saliva increased with the length of the immersion period in both groups. The release of Cr and Fe was higher in artificial saliva than in NaCl in group R, regardless of the immersion period. The release of Co in NaCl was below the detection limit in both groups.

PURPOSE: The aim of this clinical simulation study was to investigate the effect of anatomic and nonanatomic occlusal preparation design on stress distribution in different metal-ceramic crowns and tooth and bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the finite element analysis method, a 2-dimensional mathematical model of a mandibular second premolar tooth and its supporting tissues was used. The analysis was performed by using a structural analysis program. Four groups were designed: gold-palladium alloy/anatomic occlusal preparation (Au-Pd/A), Au-Pd alloy/nonanatomic (flat) occlusal preparation (Au-Pd/N), nickel-chromium alloy/anatomic occlusal preparation (Ni-Cr/A), and Ni-Cr alloy/nonanatomic occlusal preparation (Ni-Cr/N). A distributed type load of 400 N (total) was applied to the centric stop points on the tip of the buccal cusp and on the central developmental groove in centric occlusion to all types of restorations. RESULTS: The results demonstrated that shear stresses in the dentin tissues and restorations in Au-Pd/A and Ni-Cr/A were similar. The shear stresses within the restorations in Au-Pd/N and Ni-Cr/N were similar. CONCLUSION: Anatomic occlusal preparation designs were advantageous in stress distribution in the dentin tissue. Nonanatomic occlusal preparation designs were found to be advantageous in the stress amount and distribution in the porcelain structure. Occlusal preparation designs and restorative materials showed no differences in stress distribution and amount in the pulp tissue and bone tissues.
