Microtensile bond strengths of adhesively bonded polymer-based CAD/CAM materials to dentin.

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of two different polymer-based CAD/CAM materials; resin-nano ceramic (Lava Ultimate [LVU]) and composite (CERASMART [CS]), their different surface pre-treatments, and use of different resin cements on the µTBS of adhesively bonded CAD/CAM onlays to dentin. CAD/CAM materials were cut into slabs and divided into five groups according to the surface pre-treatments applied: Silane Primer, OptiBond XTR adhesive, Silane Primer+OptiBond XTR adhesive, Single Bond Universal (SBU), and RelyX Ceramic Primer+SBU. The LVU and CS specimens were bonded to the mid-coronal dentin of 50 non-carious human molars using NX3 resin cement with OptiBond XTR or RelyX Ultimate with SBU.

The translucency effect of different colored resin cements used with zirconia core and titanium abutments.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the different color of resin cements and zirconia cores on the translucency parameter (TP) of the restoration that simulates the implant-supported fixed prosthesis using titanium base on the bottom.

Materials And Methods: Zirconia core plates (Zr-Zahn) were prepared in A2 shades (n = 11). Resin cement plates (3M ESPE) were prepared in A2, A1, translucent (TR) shades (n = 11).

The Effect of Luting Cement and Titanium Base on the Final Color of Zirconium Oxide Core Material.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of different types of luting cements and different colors of zirconium cores on the final color of the restoration that simulates implant-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) by using a titanium base on the bottom.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty zirconium oxide core plates (Zr-Zahn; 10 mm in width, 5 mm in length, 0.5 mm in height) were prepared in different shades (n = 20; noncolored, A2, A3, B1, C2, D2).

Comparison of the marginal fit of different coping materials and designs produced by computer aided manufacturing systems.

In this study, marginal adaptations of different copings fabricated with CAD/CAM or MAD/CAM were analysed. Celay and Zirkonzahn groups were fabricated by MAD/CAM, LAVA and DC-Zircon groups were fabricated by CAD/CAM. Casting metal copings were used as the control group.

Effect of Er:YAG laser irradiations on shear bond strength of three self-adhesive resin cements to dentin.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser irradiation on shear-bond strength of self-adhesive resin cements to dentin.

Background Data: Different laser-irradiation settings are used for dentin-surface pretreatment, which may affect the bond strength of resins.

Methods: Fourty-five extracted third molars were selected, sectioned in a mesiodistal direction, and 90 tooth slabs were obtained.
