Purpose: To investigate the clinical efficacy and effects of CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic crown, cobalt-chromium alloy and silver-palladium alloy porcelain-fused-to-metal crown restorations on periodontal tissues.
Methods: Forty-nine teeth with crowns in 46 patients were randomly assigned into CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic crown group, cobalt-chromium alloy porcelain-fused-to-metal crown group and silver-palladium alloy porcelain-fused-to-metal crown group. The amounts of GCF, TNF-α and IL-6 were analyzed before and 12 months after restorations, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.
Results: Comparing the clinical efficacy within 3 groups, indicators such as color match and the status of gums in CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic crown group were significantly better than other 2 groups (P<0.05). The amounts of GCF, TNF-α and IL-6 in CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic crown group were also significantly better than other 2 groups (P<0.01).
Conclusions: CAD/CAM zirconia all-ceramic crown restoration had better clinical efficacy than cobalt-chromium alloy and silver-palladium alloy porcelain-fused-to-metal crown restorations with no apparently damage to periodontal tissues.

Objectives: A new abutment-free implant connection allows for direct screwing of FDPs on implants to avoid complications caused by cement rests or screw loosening, which may affect to screw torque and load distribution. The objective of this study was to test the initial (Fi) and final failure (Ff) loads and torque changes of abutment-free monolithic zirconia CAD-CAM fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) compared to titanium FDPs on different abutment designs.
Methods: Three-unit screw-retained FDPs (n=50) on two implants (n=100) were divided into groups (n=10) based on the implant-abutment connection and material of the supra-structure: (1) abutment-free monolithic CAD-CAM zirconia FDP (Abut-free-Zr), (2) abutment-free veneered titanium FDPs (Abut-free-Ti), (3) monolithic zirconia FDPs with titanium base abutments (Zr-Ti-Base), (4) monolithic zirconia FDPs on multi-unit abutments (Zr-MU), (5) veneered titanium FDP on multi-unit abutments (Ti-MU).

Background: Conservative dentistry introduced modern restoration designs, contributing to the greater use of partial-coverage ceramic restorations. New strong bondable ceramic materials made fabricating partial coverage ceramic restorations easier to restore the badly destructed teeth.
Aim Of The Study: This study investigated the impact of three distinct overlay preparation designs on the marginal fit (both before and after thermal aging) and the fracture resistance of overlay restorations fabricated using advanced zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate (ALD) CAD/CAM glass-ceramic blocks.

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.

Background: Although surface finishing processes are effective against Streptococcus mutans biofilm, the mechanism of action of saliva with different acidity values has not been studied in detail. This study aims to produce four different all-ceramic materials in a single session with CAD/CAM devices and apply two different surface finishing processes, glazing and polishing, and then determine the retention of Streptococcus mutants on the surfaces of the materials in saliva with varying levels of acidity.
Methods: Zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Vita Suprinity, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), monochromatic feldspar (Vitablocs Mark 2, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), leucite glass ceramic (IPS Empress CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein), and monolithic zirconia (Incoris TZI (Cerec) Sirona, Germany) were used in the study.
