Statement Of Problem: The selection of an appropriate restorative material based on fracture behavior is important for the marginal integrity of a dental restoration. For computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative materials, information regarding their edge chipping resistance is scarce.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the edge chipping resistance (ECR) and Martens hardness (HM) of 6 different dental CAD-CAM restorative materials before and after thermocycling.
Objectives: To determine the Martens hardness parameters for five different classes of CAD/CAM restorative materials after storage in water and thermo-cycling.
Materials And Methods: Lithium disilicate ceramic IPS e.max CAD (EX), silicate ceramic IPS Empress CAD (EC), a polymer infiltrated interpenetrating network material (hybrid material) VITA Enamic (VE), two compact filled composites Lava Ultimate (LU), experimental material (EM), two low filled resin composites Katana Avencia (KA), Ambarino High-Class (AH) and ultra-low/unfilled acrylic polymers CAD-Temp (CT), Telio CAD (TC), breCAM.
Objectives: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the 2-body wear behavior of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorative materials and additionally to validate an automatic approach to wear quantification as provided by newly developed software.
Materials And Methods: Two composite resins (Experimental Composite, Shofu Block HC), 1 polymethyl methacrylate- (PMMA)-based material (Telio CAD), and 1 dual-network material (VITA Enamic) were tested (n = 12). The materials were stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 14 days, then aged in a mastication simulator (cycles: 400 000, 50 N, 1.
Statement Of Problem: The selection of an appropriate restorative material based on wear behavior is important for the long-term success of a dental restoration. For computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) composite resins, information about their wear resistance and wear mechanism is scarce.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the 2- and 3-body wear of CAD-CAM composite resins with that of lithium disilicate ceramic and to develop analysis software.
