Purpose: To evaluate the fracture resistance of a newer lithium disilicate abutment material.

Materials And Methods: A premolar-shaped implant crown was designed using CAD/CAM software, and four groups of implant and crown combinations were milled: (1) lithium-disilicate hybrid-abutment crown; (2) "screwmentable" lithium-disilicate hybrid abutment/lithium-disilicate crown with screw channel; (3) lithium-disilicate hybrid abutment/lithium-disilicate crown; and (4) zirconia hybrid abutment/lithium-disilicate crown (control). The specimens were cemented to a titanium-base implant system, subjected to thermocycling and cyclic loading, and fractured in a material testing device.

Results: The lithium-disilicate hybrid-abutment crown had significantly greater fracture load than all the other groups, which were not significantly different from each other.

Conclusions: Based on fracture load, the new lithium-disilicate hybrid-abutment material may serve as a viable alternative to the use of zirconia as a hybrid-abutment material.

Objectives: This study compares the restoration of single-tooth implants with screw-retained lithium-disilicate hybrid-abutment crowns and single-tooth lithium-disilicate crowns adhesively bonded to hybrid abutments with regard to objective clinical and subjective patient-specific evaluation criteria over a time of observation of 3 years.

Materials And Methods: Two bone-level implants were placed in contralateral sides of the same jaw in 10 patients, each with two single-tooth gaps. After osseointegration, implants were uncovered and an impression was taken.

Background: Advancements in digital dentistry helped in custom-milling screw-channels in implant-supported restorations; however, the fit of these restorations is still unclear especially for contemporary computer aided designing/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials. This study aimed to compare the internal and marginal fit of Ultra translucent multilayered zirconia versus lithium disilicate implant-supported hybrid abutment crowns (HACs) constructed with custom-milled screw-channels on Titanium-base.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 HACs with custom-milled screw-channels were constructed from lithium disilicate (Group LDS) and Ultra translucent multilayered zirconia (Group UT) using digital workflow (n = 12).

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of titanium base height on torque loss of monolithic zirconia, lithium disilicate, and polymer-infiltrated ceramic hybrid- abutment restorations for offset placed implant.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two hybrid- abutment restorations supported by offset placed implants (diameter: 4.2 mm; length: 10 mm) were divided into 6 groups: short titanium base and zirconia (SZ), long titanium base and zirconia (LZ), short titanium base and lithium disilicate (SE), long titanium base and lithium disilicate (LE), short titanium base and polymer-infiltrated ceramic (SP), and long titanium base and polymer-infiltrated ceramic (LP).

Purpose: This study compared the fracture strength of single lithium disilicate implant-supported crowns fabricated on two-piece abutments with various materials: ceramic-reinforced PEEK, zirconia, and lithium disilicate.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six implants were embedded in acrylic cylinders. A two-piece abutment and a crown were designed following a pre-operation scan for a maxillary left central incisor.

Purpose: This in vitro study investigated the influence of material selection, crown morphology, and vertical crown height on the biomechanical behavior of screw-retained monolithic hybrid abutment crowns (HACs).

Methods: Ninety implants were embedded in accordance with ISO standard 14801; ninety HACs were mounted (N=90). Monolithic crowns with varying group-specific designs were luted using titanium bases.
