Purpose: To analyse the effect of translucency of Y-TZP based all-ceramic crowns fabricated with different substructure thicknesses and extensions. The effect of restoration shading is also investigated.

Materials And Methods: A maxillary right central incisal typodont tooth was prepared and a die was fabricated with Type IV stone after making impression. Horizontally and vertically reduced substructure extensions were designed at the facial cervical part with 0.3 mm and 0.5mm thick Lava Y-TZP. Each substructure was fabricated with two different shades, FS1 and FS7. A1 shade veneering porcelain was applied on FS1 shade Y-TZP substructures and D3 shade veneering porcelain was applied on FS7 shade Y-TZP substructures with lost wax and press ceramic technique. Ten specimens were fabricated for a total of 8 groups. The cervical and body colour of specimens were analysed with a spectrophotometer, after placing specimens on the two different coloured abutment teeth using translucent try-in cement. The data were obtained in CIELAB colour coordinates L*a*b*, and DE* through the test specimens over ND1 and ND8 shade abutments were calculated.

Results: At the cervical area, there was a significant difference on substructure extension (P < 0.001). At the body area, results were borderline on substructure thickness (P = 0.05) and there was a significant difference on restoration shade (P = 0.001).

Conclusions: Vertical reduction design of Y-TZP substructure could increase DE* at the cervical area. Decreasing thickness of Y-TZP substructure may increase DE* at the body area. Increasing the value of Y-TZP based-all ceramic crown shade could increase DE* at the body area.

Clinical Significance: The translucency of a Y-TZP based all-ceramic crowns may influence its esthetic outcome when it is used on a discoloured abutment tooth. Clinicians should be aware of the effect of substructure design on the translucency of YTZP based all-ceramic crowns.

Fit accuracy and fracture resistance evaluation of advanced lithium disilicate crowns (in- vitro study).

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Division of Fixed Prosthodontics, Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.

Background: Increasing demand for durable and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations, including laminates, inlays, onlays, and crowns, has led to advancements in all-ceramic systems, particularly with the development of advanced lithium disilicate materials. However, limited data on the fit accuracy and fracture resistance of these materials restricts their wider application in clinical restorative practices.

Aim Of The Study: This in vitro study aims to compare the marginal and internal fit, assess the fracture resistance, and evaluate the failure modes of crowns fabricated from advanced and conventional lithium disilicate materials.

Objectives: To assess the clinical performance of tooth-supported 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made from shade-graded monolithic 5Y-PSZ (partly stabilized zirconia) zirconia in terms of survival rate and the quality of restorations based on modified FDI criteria over three-years.

Materials And Methods: High-translucent shade-graded monolithic zirconia (Lava Esthetic, Solventum Dental Solutions) was used to manufacture maxillary or mandibular three-unit FDPs in the posterior region (N = 22) employing subtractive milling system (Amann Girrbach). All FDPs were bonded with a universal resin cement (Rely X Universal, Solventum Dental Solutions) and evaluated 4 weeks after cementation (baseline) and after 1, 2, and 3 years.

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.

Objectives: The aim of this prospective, multi-center, practice-based cohort study was to analyze factors associated with the success of implant supported all-ceramic single-unit crowns, made by computer-aided-design/computer-aided-manufacturing (CAD-CAM).

Methods: All-ceramic crowns placed in a private practice-based research network (Ceramic Success Analysis, AG Keramik) were analyzed. Data from 567patients with CAD-CAM implant supported all-ceramic crowns placed between 2008-2023 by 54dentists were evaluated.
