Statement Of Problem: For patients with limited interocclusal space, standard height implant abutments may not be usable. Shorter abutments may be desirable.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the height of titanium abutments on the tensile strength required to dislodge zirconia copings.
Material And Methods: Two experimental groups of abutments were prepared: (1) 4.3-mm platform width implant abutment with a 6.5-mm height (control), and (2) a 4.3-mm platform width implant abutment with a 5.5-mm height (shorter). Each abutment had 5 zirconia copings (custom designed) fabricated through a 3-dimensional computer-assisted design (3-D CAD) process by scanning an identical wax pattern. The zirconia copings were designed to have a 6-mm projection above the titanium abutment to accommodate a 2-mm hole. A wire was inserted through this hole to attach the zirconia coping to a universal testing machine. Each abutment was placed onto an implant embedded in a brass base designed to fit onto the universal testing machine. The zirconia copings were cemented onto the abutments with a provisional luting agent (Improv), and a tensile force was applied at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The removal force was recorded for each specimen. An unpaired t test was used for the statistical analysis (alpha =.05).
Results: The mean force (SD) necessary to remove the zirconia copings (Newtons) from the 6.5-mm titanium abutment (198.09 (28.83)) was higher (P=.0078) than for the 5.5-mm abutment (124.89 (36.388)).
Conclusions: By increasing the height of the abutment 1 mm and maintaining the diameter of the abutment, the resistance to tensile forces increased significantly between the 2 abutment dimensions evaluated.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the marginal accuracy of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and zirconia copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, and to assess the impact of their material properties on accuracy when produced with a 4-axis milling system under controlled conditions.
Settings And Design: The study employed an in vitro design with a stainless steel die model featuring a 6 mm axial wall height, a 6-degree total occlusal convergence, and a radial shoulder finish line.
Materials And Methods: Thirty stone dies were created from silicone impressions of the metal die and poured using type-IV dental stone.

Introduction: The marginal fit of dental restorations is essential for longevity and effectiveness of fixed prostheses, particularly single-unit crowns. Direct digital scanning offers significant advantages over indirect methods, providing a non-invasive, accurate, and reproducible means to evaluate marginal fit. This study aimed to assess the marginal fit of single-unit copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) utilizing direct three-dimensional (3D) scanning.

Aim: To compare the tensile strength, dislodgement forces, marginal gap and failure types between digitally fabricated zirconia root copings and conventionally manufactured cast gold root copings.
Methods: Extracted human teeth (N=30) were prepared for the root copings and randomly divided into 2 groups: (1)zirconia root copings(ZC) and gold root copings(GC). The specimens were tested for tensile bond strength and dislodgement forces in a universal testing machine and the types of the coping failures modes were analyzed.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of full coverage crowns produced by two manufacturing methods: additive 3D printing and subtractive milling utilizing three different predefined cement spaces.
Materials And Methods: Six groups were allocated based on the manufacturing method and the predefined cement space: printed wax with a 20 µm space (PW1); printed wax with a 50 µm space (PW2); printed wax with a 100 µm space (PW3); milled wax with a 20 µm cement space (MW1); milled wax with a 50 µm cement space (MW2); milled wax with a 100 µm cement space (MW3); milled zirconia coping with a 20 µm cement space (MZ1); milled zirconia coping with a 50 µm cement space (MZ2); milled zirconia with a 100 µm cement space (MZ3). All fabricated specimens were scanned using an Identica Blue 3D scanner and saved as standard tessellation language (STL) files.

To evaluate the fracture resistance of veneered incisor crowns made from highly translucent zirconia frameworks. Ninety-six all-ceramic single crowns were based on either a coping with minimum wall thickness or a cutback framework fabricated from highly translucent zirconia (5Y-PSZ). Each one-third of the specimens was finalized with different veneering ceramics using standardizations and glaze firing.
