Influence of material thickness on fractural strength of CAD/CAM fabricated ceramic crowns.

The fracture behavior of CAD/CAM fabricated crowns was investigated as a function of material thickness for six silicate ceramic materials: Mark II, e.max CAD, Celtra Duo milled, Celtra Duo fired, Suprinity, Enamic. Crowns with thicknesses 0.

Chairside systems: a current review.

Since Cerec (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) was introduced as the first dental chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system in the mid-1980s, this technology has enjoyed growing popularity, particularly in the recent past. There has been a considerable increase in the number of available chairside systems in only the last few years. One of the main reasons for this is that intraoral scanners have become increasingly better, smaller, and faster, while the design software has become more and more user-friendly.

Endodontic drug delivery for root surface disinfection: a laboratory feasibility evaluation.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the potential of a mixture of three antibiotics (TreVitaMix, TVM) as an intracanal dressing to disinfect the outer root surface by applying a new in vitro model.

Materials And Methods: Fifty freshly extracted bovine roots were endodontically treated. Forty samples were then thoroughly scaled, mounted to petri dishes, gas sterilized, and randomly allocated to four groups (n = 10/group) according to their intracanal medication: sterile saline (NaCl; control, A); the TVM carrier material alone, i.

Intracanal Antibiotic Medication for Sustained Root Surface Disinfection-A Laboratory Evaluation.

Purpose: To measure the release of an antibiotic mixture of ciprofloxacin, cerfuroxim and metronidazole (TreVitaMix, TVM) through human dentine and to assess the growth inhibition of Fusobacterium nucleatum.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four extracted human incisors were scaled and endodontically treated. Root canals were either filled with antibiotic tri-mixture (TVM) or with the carrier material alone (propylene glycol, PG) and were coronally and apically sealed with a flowable composite.

Comparison between different flow application techniques: SDR vs flowable composite.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of layer thickness of flowable composites on the marginal adaptation of Class II fillings after thermomechanical loading (TML).

Materials And Methods: Sixty standardized Class II box cavities were prepared under simulation of intrapulpal pressure with gingival margins located 1 mm below the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) in dentin. The samples were evenly distributed into six groups (A to F).

Erosion-inhibiting potential of a stannous chloride-containing fluoride solution under acid flow conditions in vitro.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyse the erosion-inhibiting potential of a single application of stannous chloride-containing fluoride solution on pellicle-covered enamel and dentine under constant acid flow conditions in vitro.

Design: Bovine enamel (n=60) and dentine (n=60) samples were exposed 1h to the oral cavity of 4 healthy volunteers to allow for in situ pellicle formation. Pellicle-covered samples were randomly assigned to three groups (each n=20 enamel and n=20 dentine samples; 5 enamel and 5 dentine samples/volunteer) and treated once with a SnCl2/AmF/NaF (800 ppm Sn(II), 500 ppm F, pH 4.
