RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This in vitro study aimed to provide evidence regarding the selection of hole diameters of implant crowns to reduce excess cement extrusion at the abutment margin, and to examine the maintenance of their retention capacity in anterior and posterior cement-retained implant crowns. METHODS: Six groups of implant crowns were prepared according to the position of the teeth and the size of their holes as follows: anterior crown without hole (ANH), anterior crown with 1-mm mini venting hole (AMH), anterior crown with 2.5-mm regular screw access hole (ARH), posterior crown without hole (PNH), posterior crown with 1-mm mini venting hole (PMH), and posterior crown with 2.5-mm regular screw access hole (PRH). Temporary cement was used to bond the crowns to the abutments. The mean amount of excess cement extrusion among the different groups at the abutment margin was calculated. Retentive strength under different hole designs was measured as the dislocation force of the crown using a universal testing machine. One-way ANOVA and Welch's t-test were used to analyze the results. RESULTS: The average amounts of extruded excess cement were 18.96 ± 0.64, 1.78 ± 0.41, and 1.30 ± 0.41 mg in the ANH, AMH, and ARH groups, respectively, and 14.87 ± 0.36, 1.51 ± 0.40, and 0.82 ± 0.22 mg in the PNH, PMH, and PRH groups, respectively. The hole opening in the crowns could significantly reduce residual cement regardless of its size (p < 0.001). The mean retentive strengths were 54.16 ± 6.00, 47.63 ± 13.54, and 31.99 ± 7.75 N in the ANH, AMH, and ARH groups, respectively, and 57.84 ± 10.19, 53.22 ± 6.98, and 39.48 ± 5.12 N in the PNH, PMH, and PRH groups, respectively. The retention capacity of the implant crown deteriorated rapidly as the holes on the crown surface enlarged. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of a hole on the implant crown reduced the amount of excess cement. The retention ability of the implant crowns deteriorated as the size of the hole increased. Considering the esthetic effect of the crown and the possible influence on crown retention, an implant crown with a 1-mm mini venting hole is a better clinical choice than the one with a 2.5-mm regular screw access hole.

Desired retrievability of cemented implant-supported fixed prosthesis makes the retentive strength of cementing agents an important consideration. The aim of the study was to evaluate the retentiveness of purposely designed implant cement and compare its retentiveness with dental cements that are commonly used with implant systems. Ten implant analogs were embedded in auto-polymerizing acrylic resin blocks and titanium abutments were attached to them. Fifty standardized copings were waxed directly on the abutment and casted. The cements used were: (1) resin-bonded zinc oxide eugenol cement, (2) purposely designed implant cement, (3) zinc phosphate cement, (4) zinc polycarboxylate cement, and (5) glass ionomer cement. After cementation, each sample was subjected to a pull-out test using universal testing machine and loads required to remove the crowns were recorded. The mean values and standard deviations of cement failure loads were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni test. The mean values (± SD) of loads at failure (n = 10) for various cements were as follows (N): resin-bonded zinc oxide eugenol cement 394.62 (± 9.76), Premier implant cement 333.86 (± 18.91), zinc phosphate cement 629.30 (± 20.65), zinc polycarboxylate cement 810.08 (± 11.52), and glass ionomer cement 750.17 (± 13.78). The results do not suggest that one cement type is better than another, but they do provide a ranking order of the cements regarding their ability to retain the prosthesis and facilitate easy retrievability.

AIM: The study aims to assess the effect of surface treatments by chemical agents on the retentive strengths of crowns fabricated from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) reinforced with graphene nanoparticles adhesively bonded to abutments after thermocycling. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: In vitro comparative study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is composed of four groups - one control, one treated with 99% pure etchant acetone solution, one treated with 15 wt% potassium hydrogen fluoride solution, and the last group treated with a combination of both solutions. RESULTS: The results showed that the mean load in Group A is 228.46±3.16, Group B is 252.57±7.14, Group C is 184.51±6.61, and Group D is 211.03±2.54. The mean score is highest for Group B followed by Group A and Group D, and it is least for Group C. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) detected highly significant differences (p<0.01) among the four groups. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that acetone is the best chemical etchant solution for crowns fabricated from G-CAM discs (Graphenano Dental, Graphenano Nanotechnologies, Spain).
RESUMO
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of stannous fluoride (SnF2) and sodium fluoride (NaF) to luting cements on the retention of provisional crowns. Provisional crowns were fabricated using methyl methacrylate and bis-acryl composite resin for 32 chamfer prepared molars. For control group A, crowns were cemented with Freegenol and RelyX Temp NE non-eugenol cements. For test group B, crowns were cemented using the above cements with the addition of SnF2. For test group C, crowns were cemented using the above cements with the addition of NaF. The specimens were thermocycled and retention test was conducted after 7 days. The addition of SnF2 significantly increased the retentive strength of both the cements in the range of 27-48 %, whereas addition of NaF decreased the retentive strength of both the cements in the range of 14-23 %. SnF2 can be mixed with non-eugenol luting cements to improve the retention of both methyl methacrylate and bis-acryl composite crowns. The different effects of NaF and SnF2 on retention indicate that it may be useful to have two different types of provisional luting cements for short-term and long-term cementation, as appropriate.
RESUMO
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the retentive strength of monolithic hybrid-all-ceramic crowns luted on titanium implant abutments. Material and Methods: In total, 450 crowns (75 each of Mark II, Empress CAD, e.max CAD, Suprinity, Enamic, Celtra Duo) were milled using a CAD/CAM system. The crowns were cemented onto sandblasted titanium implant abutments using five luting agents (Multilink Implant, Variolink II, RelyX Unicem, Fujicem, and Panavia 2.0). After thermocycling was performed (5000 cycles: 5−55 °C, 30-s dwell time), the crowns were removed using a universal testing machine. The location of luting-agent residue on the abutment and inner crown surfaces was evaluated. Analyses of variance (ANOVA) with the Bonferroni correction were performed to evaluate differences of retentive strength depending on the crown material and the kind of the luting agent. Results: The retentive strengths for the different ceramic materials were Vita Mark II: 652N-759N (SD:134N-146N), Empress CAD: 681N-822N (SD: 89N-146N), e.max CAD: 784N-1044N (SD: 109N-176N), Vita Enamic: 716N-1177N (SD: 132N-220N), Vita Suprinity: 867N-1488N (SD: 202N-278N), and Celtra Duo 772N-1335N (SD:151N-229N). After the removal trials, the visual documentation showed different adhesive residue location depending on the ceramic materials. Furthermore, the pull-off force was dependent on the choice of adhesives. No significant differences were found between different luting agents and the ceramic material Vita Mark II and Empress CAD. EmaxCAD showed significant differences with Unicem and FujiCem compared to Panavia, as did VitaSuprinity, VitaEnamic, and Celtra Duo (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The ceramic material used seems to influence the retentive strength and the use of certain luting agents results in a higher retentive strength for some ceramic materials.
RESUMO
The surface modifications in teeth increase the retentive strength of cemented castings by providing micro as well as macro retentive ridge and groove patterns. Restoring the dental implants with cement-retained prosthesis is well known. Therefore, it is of interest to compare retentive property of implant abutments with and without circumferential grooves. Hence, 20 straight shoulder type titanium abutments were with abutment screws as well as prefabricated plastic copings and corresponding 12 mm-long stainless steel laboratory implant analogs were used. The abutments were divided into two subgroups of 10 abutments each: without grooves and with grooves. After thermocycling and storing the cemented abutments in water at 37°C water for 6 days they were assembled in the Universal testing machine and subjected to a pullout test (retention) at a crosshead speed of 5.0mm/min to record forces in Newton. Data suggest that the addition of grooves increased the retention. The mean retentive forces of standard machined abutments (plain) cemented with Resin modified GIC showed 339.34 N. Retention increased by 667.39N after addition of circumferential grooves. The surface modification of an implant abutment by means of circumferential grooves is an effective method of improving the retention of cast crowns cemented with resin modified GIC especially in short abutments.
RESUMO
AIM: The aim of the study was to investigate whether the surface geometry or topography of implant abutments affects the retentive strength of prosthesis cemented with zinc phosphate on standard machined, sandblasted, and grooved implant abutments and to compare the results between them. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen similarly shaped implant abutments (MDcpk61; MIS Implant Technologies Ltd.,) (height 6.0 mm and 6-degree taper) were divided into three groups (n = 05): Group I - standard machined abutments without grooves, Group II - sandblasted abutments (same as Group I but sandblasted with 50 µ aluminum oxide), and Group III - abutment with prefabricated circumferential grooves. Further in these groups of 15 abutments, 5 abutments each are to be taken to check the retentive force of zinc phosphate cement. Fifteen identical cast copings was prepared to fit all 15 abutments. The castings will be cemented to each group of abutments with an above-mentioned luting agent. After thermal cycling and storage for 6 days in a water bath, a retention test is to be done with a tensile testing machine (Instron) (5 mm/min) and retentive forces will be recorded. Data will be subjected to one-way ANOVA test and Student's t-test. RESULTS: For zinc phosphate cement, F = 30.53 (>3.59 for P = 0.05) shows a statistically significant difference between all the three groups. CONCLUSION: Circumferential grooves on implant abutments give better retention when compared with standard machined (plain) and sandblasted abutments despite marked difference. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Retention of restoration depends on the surface of the abutment as well as the luting agents used. Incorporation of retentive grooves can enhance retention of prosthesis, especially in situation of short abutments.
RESUMO
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTP) on retentive strength (RS) between the zirconia crown and the titanium implant abutment using self-adhesive resin cement. Surface free energy (SFE) was calculated on 24 cube-shaped zirconia blocks, and RS was measured on 120 zirconia crown-titanium abutment assemblies bonded with G-CEM LinkAce. The groups were categorized according to the zirconia surface treatment as follows: Control (no surface treatment), NTP, Si (Silane), NTP + Si, Pr (Z-Prime Plus), and NTP + Pr. Half of the RS test assemblies were aged by thermocycling for 5000 cycles at 5-55 °C. The SFE was calculated using the Owens-Wendt method, and the RS was measured using a universal testing machine at the maximum load until failure. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) was performed to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on the SFE and RS. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the RS according to thermocycling (p < 0.05). For the SFE analysis, the NTP group had a significantly higher SFE value than the Control group (p < 0.05). For the RS test, in non-thermocycling, the NTP group showed a significantly higher RS value than the Control group (p < 0.05). However, in thermocycling, there was no significant difference between the Control and NTP groups (p > 0.05). In non-thermocycling, comparing with the NTP + Si or NTP + Pr group, there was no significant difference from the Si or Pr group, respectively (p > 0.05). Conversely, in thermocycling, the NTP + Si and NTP + Pr group had significantly lower RS than the Si and Pr group, respectively (p < 0.05). These results suggest that NTP single treatment for the zirconia crown increases the initial RS but has little effect on the long-term RS. Applied with Silane or Z-Prime Plus, NTP pre-treatment has no positive effect on the RS.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are unique coronal restorative materials used commonly in the management of primary teeth with extensive caries. AIM: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to evaluate the retentive strength of luting cements for SSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two reviewers performed a database search of the studies published from 2004 till date. The inclusion criteria were papers published in the English language andin vitro studies on retentive strength of SSC on primary molars. All potentially relevant studies were identified by the title and the abstract. After the full-text analysis, the selected studies were included in the systematic review. RESULTS: Sixteen nonduplicated studies were found. However, after reviewing the articles, only seven were included. Risk bias was assessed. Out of seven studies included in the systematic review, five studies presented medium risk of bias and two studies showed high risk of bias. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, thein vitro literature seems to suggest that the use of self-adhesive resin cements shows higher retentive strength, followed by resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RM-GIC) and conventional GIC. However, RM-GIC can be a preferred luting agent due to its clinical advantages over resin cements. Thus, it can be concluded that choice of cement will depend on individual patient needs and clinical situation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the retentive strength of zirconium oxide (yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP)) crown-copings treated by combined mechanical and chemical treatments and cemented by four types of self-adhesive resin cements (SARCs) to human prepared teeth, before and after six months of aging in water and thermocycling. A total of 120 molar teeth were mounted, prepared using a standardized protocol and digitally scanned, and Y-TZP copings were produced. Teeth were randomly assigned to four SARC groups. Prior to cementation, the intaglio surfaces of all crowns were sandblasted and then coated with Z-Prime™ Plus (Bisco Dental, Schaumburg, IL, USA). Post cementation, each cement group was subdivided into aged and non-aged groups. After aging, the cemented assemblies were tested for retentive strength using a universal testing machine. Failure analysis was conducted by inspecting all matched debonded surfaces of the teeth and crowns at 3× magnification. Aging treatment did not affect the retentive strength of the Y-TZP crown-copings (p = 0.918). The interaction between cement and aging was statistically significant (p = 0.024). No significant differences in the retentive strengths between the different SARCs were observed pre-aging (p = 0.776), whereas post-aging, Panavia SA (PAN; Kuraray Dental Co Ltd., Osaka, Japan) showed significantly higher strength than RelyX U-200 (RU200; 3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany). The predominant failure mode was adhesive between the cement and dentin, followed by mixed mode failure.
RESUMO
CAD/CAM-generated resin-based composite crowns have been proposed as an inexpensive alternative to conventional crowns. However, concerns have been raised about crown loosening in clinical use. Therefore, the present in vitro study aimed to evaluate the influence of thermal and mechanical cycling (TC and MC) on retentive strength of CAD/CAM resin-based crowns in relation to microscale expansion and contraction caused by fatigue. Eighty standardized dies were produced using a resin-based composite material. Crowns were milled from resin-based composite (nâ¯=â¯40) and glass-ceramic blocks (nâ¯=â¯40; control) using a dental CAD/CAM system. The crowns bonded to the dies were subjected to TC (temperature: 5 and 55⯰C, cycles: 50,000) and MC (load: 200â¯N, cycles: 1.2 million). After fatigue treatment, retentive strength of the crowns was evaluated by a crown pull-off test at a crosshead speed of 1â¯mm/min. Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and modulus of elasticity (E-modulus) of each material were also analyzed to estimate the microscale expansion and contraction during TC and MC. TC and MC significantly reduced the retentive strength of the CAD/CAM resin-based crowns whereas that of the CAD/CAM ceramic crowns was only affected by TC. In addition, the resin-based crowns showed a higher number of crown loosening during TC than the ceramic crowns. Analyses of CTE and E-modulus indicated that the resin-based crowns would be more deformed during TC and MC than the ceramic crowns. The present study demonstrated that the resistance of crowns to microscale expansion and contraction caused by thermal and mechanical fatigue would play an important role in maintaining retentive strength.

AIMS: To assess and compare the retentive strength of two dual-polymerized self-adhesive resin cements (RelyX U200, 3M ESPE & SmartCem2, Dentsply Caulk) and a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC; RelyX Luting 2, 3M ESPE) on stainless steel crown (SSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty extracted teeth were mounted on cold cured acrylic resin blocks exposing the crown till the cemento-enamel junction. Pretrimmed, precontoured SSC was selected for a particular tooth. Standardized tooth preparation for SSC was performed by single operator. The crowns were then luted with either RelyX U200 or SmartCem2 or RelyX Luting 2 cement. Retentive strength was tested using Instron universal testing machine. The retentive strength values were recorded and calculated by the formula: Load/Area. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: One-way analysis of variance was used for multiple comparisons followed by post hoc Tukey's test for groupwise comparisons. Unpaired t-test was used for intergroup comparisons. RESULTS: RelyX U200 showed significantly higher retentive strength than rest of the two cements (p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between the retentive strength of SmartCem2 and RelyX Luting 2 (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The retentive strength of dual-polymerized self-adhesive resin cements was better than RMGIC, and RelyX U200 significantly improved crown retention when compared with SmartCem2 and RelyX Luting 2.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effectiveness of various methods for removing provisional cement from implant abutments, and what effect these methods have on the retention of prosthesis during the definitive cementation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty implant fixture analogues and abutments were embedded in resin blocks. Forty cast crowns were fabricated and divided into 4 groups each containing 10 implants. Group A was cemented directly with the definitive cement (Cem-Implant). The remainder were cemented with provisional cement (Temp-Bond NE), and classified according to the method for cleaning the abutments. Group B used a plastic curette and wet gauze, Group C used a rubber cup and pumice, and Group D used an airborne particle abrasion technique. The abutments were observed using a stereomicroscope after removing the provisional cement. The tensile bond strength was measured after the definitive cementation. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance test (α=.05). RESULTS: Group B clearly showed provisional cement remaining, whereas the other groups showed almost no cement. Groups A and B showed a relatively smooth surface. More roughness was observed in Group C, and apparent roughness was noted in Group D. The tensile bond strength tests revealed Group D to have significantly the highest tensile bond strength followed in order by Groups C, A and B. CONCLUSION: A plastic curette and wet gauze alone cannot effectively remove the residual provisional cement on the abutment. The definitive retention increased when the abutments were treated with rubber cup/pumice or airborne particle abraded to remove the provisional cement.
RESUMO
This study includes comparatively evaluating and drawing general conclusion about the best advisable taper and cement for maximal retention. Eighty extracted human maxillary premolar teeth with sound surfaces were selected using dial vernier caliper. Selected teeth were randomly divided into five different taper groups (0°, 3°, 6°, 9° and 12°). The crown preparations with different tapers respectively were achieved by graduated customized device. Preparations were verified with special set up. Crowns were cast with Co-Cr alloy; metal copings were luted with glass ionomer and zinc phosphate cement. Retention was measured (MPa) by separating the metal crowns from the teeth under tension on a universal testing machine, data was recorded and statistically analyzed. Glass ionomer cemented 0° and 12° taper group showed increase in retentive strength (p = 0.003 hs), when compared to zinc phosphate cement. 9° and 12° group showed decreased retentive strength (p = 0.001 vhs) when compared with 0° taper group. No significant difference found between 0° and 3° and 6° group. The choice of cement for crowns prepared within this ideal range (0°-6° taper) might be of limited clinical significance. 3° and 6° taper with zinc phosphate or glass ionomer cement shown to be ideal for maximum retention.
