AI Article Synopsis

  • The review focuses on how digital veneering techniques can reduce the issues of delamination and chipping in zirconia-based all-ceramic restorations.
  • Three specific digital veneering systems are highlighted: the Lava DVS, Rapid Layer Technology, and CAD-on technique, along with literature modifications.
  • While some promising results from in vitro studies suggest these techniques improve mechanical performance and longevity of restorations, more extensive clinical research is necessary to confirm these findings.

Article Abstract

Objectives: Delamination and chipping are major complications of veneering material on zirconia-based all-ceramic restorations. The digital veneering technique was introduced to overcome these complications as both zirconia frameworks and veneering ceramic are fabricated by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The aim of this review is to report all articles that evaluate zirconia-based all-ceramic restorations fabricated by the digital veneering technique. Three different digital veneering techniques were detected: the Lava DVS Digital Veneering System (3M ESPE), the Rapid Layer Technology (Vita Zahnfabrik), and the CAD-on technique (Ivoclar Vivadent). There are also some modifications of these techniques in the literature.

Materials And Methods: For this review, a comprehensive literature search was conducted. Detected studies are reported according to fracture resistance, flexural strength, wear performance, shear bond strength, microtensile bond strength, mechanical performance of restorations on implant abutments, marginal fit, color reproducibility, and clinical success for all types of digital veneering techniques.

Results And Conclusions: Anatomical framework design and digital veneering using lithium disilicate and fusion porcelain might decrease the risk of chipping and delamination of veneering ceramic on zirconia-supported all-ceramic restorations. However, this result is mainly supported by in vitro studies. More clinical studies with a large sample size, longer follow-up period, and different fixed dental prosthesis designs are needed.

Evaluation of Internal and Marginal Accuracy (Trueness and Precision) of Laminates Using DLP Printing and Milling Methods.

Biomimetics (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Healthcare Sciences, Faculty of Dental Laboratory Science and Engineering, Korea University, 145 Anam-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02841, Republic of Korea.

This study evaluated the internal and marginal accuracy (trueness and precision) of zirconia laminate veneers fabricated using the DLP printing and milling method, employing 3D analysis software program. The maxillary central incisor tooth of a typodont model was prepared by a dentist and scanned using a desktop scanner. An anatomical zirconia laminate was designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and saved in a standard tessellation language (STL) format.

The injection moulding technique (IMT) is a minimally invasive restorative treatment. This technique enables the application of thin, flowable composite layers into a stable, transparent silicone index that serves as a mould. Due to the fluid properties of the composite, it efficiently fills the silicone tray and seamlessly integrates with the tooth structure, often obviating tooth preparation and preserving overall tooth integrity.

Objective: A 26-year-old woman came for orthodontic treatment to improve her profile with protrusive lips. Diagnosed as bimaxillary protrusion, extraction followed by anterior retraction was indispensable for the case. However, her left upper lateral incisor was absent, the left upper canine had moved mesially and replaced the adjacent incisor, and the original canine location was restored with a long implant, which was in good condition.

Dentistry is steadily evolving along the digital pathway at a constant and sure pace. Intraoral scanners (IOSs) started to enhance the precision and trueness of the restorations, making prosthodontics treatment more predictable. The objective of this study was to compare the trueness and internal fit of the printed provisional veneers for 60 preparations with three different types of finish lines.
