Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) fabrication and sintering procedures on the fracture load of monolithic zirconia crowns with different material thicknesses adhesively seated to methacrylate dies fabricated with stereolithography technology.
Method: Monolithic zirconia crowns were fabricated from inCoris TZI C material with a chairside CAD/CAM system (CEREC MCXL) comprising three material thicknesses (0.5/1.0/1.5 mm, n=8 each). Two CAD/CAM fabrication procedures (milling, MI; grinding, GR), two chairside sintering procedures (superspeed, SS; speedfire sintering, SF), and one labside sintering procedure (classic, CL) were evaluated. In total, 144 crowns were fabricated. Restorations were adhesively seated to methacrylate dies fabricated with SLA technology. Thermomechanical cycling (TCML) was performed before fracture testing. Loading forces until fracture were registered and statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Scheffé test, and three-way ANOVA (α=0.05).
Results: Test groups showed statistically significant differences (<0.05). The highest mean value was found for 1.5-mm crowns of group GR_SF with 3678.6 ± 363.9 N. The lowest mean value was found for group 0.5-mm crowns of group MI_SF with 382.4 ± 30.7 N. There was a significant three-way interaction effect between thickness, sintering, and processing [(4,126)=9.542; <0.001; three-way ANOVA, significance level α=0.05].
Conclusions: CAD/CAM fabrication and sintering procedures influence the maximum loading force of monolithic zirconia crowns with different material thicknesses. A material thickness of 0.5 mm should be considered as a critical thickness for monolithic zirconia crown restorations.

Can monolithic zirconia frameworks in implant-supported cross-arch prostheses deliver reliable long-term outcomes?
Evid Based Dent
January 2025
Eastman Dental Institute, London, UK.
Design: A retrospective cohort study assessing the mid-to-long-term outcomes and risk factors affecting the prosthetic success and survival of implant-supported cross-arch fixed dental prostheses (IFCDPs) with monolithic zirconia frameworks.
Cohort Selection: Forty-seven patients received a total of 51 cross-arch prostheses (27 maxillary and 24 mandibular prostheses), supported by 302 implants. Comprehensive clinical and radiographic records were available over a follow-up period ranging from 5 to 13 years.
Fracture resistance of analog and CAD-CAM long-span fixed provisional restorations: An in vitro experimental study.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of long-span fixed provisional restorations fabricated using milling, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and conventional methods.
Materials And Methods: Sixty specimens were prepared, divided into four groups of 15 each, corresponding to four fabrication methods: computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled provisional resins, 3D-printed provisional resins, 3D-printed permanent resins, and conventional bis-acryl restorations reinforced with wire. The specimens underwent a three-point bending test using a universal testing machine to measure fracture resistance, quantified as maximum force (in Newtons).
Jawline improvement using patient-specific angle implants with virtual planning in orthognathic surgery.
J Craniomaxillofac Surg

Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, Head and Neck Institute, University Hospital Center of Nice, 31 avenue de Valombrose, 06100, Nice, France; Nice Côte d'Azur Clinical Research Unit (UR2CA), France. Electronic address:
There has been a recent increase in the global demand for jawline augmentation. Managing angle definition in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery remains challenging owing to the characteristics of classic mandibular osteotomy, which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but cannot modify the ramus height. The advent of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing techniques for patient-specific implant fabrication has introduced new methods for jawline management.

Faculty of dentistry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different preparation depths (0, 2 and 4 mm) of different restoration designs (classic endocrown design versus overlay design) on marginal adaptation of restorations fabricated of two different restorative materials (lithium disilicate and PEEK).
Materials And Methods: Sixty mandibular natural molars were collected as abutments for the restorations of this study, and grouped in three main groups of different cavity depths (0, 2 and 4). Each group was divided into two subgroups according to material of fabrication to (L) for lithium disilicate (IPS emax CAD, Ivoclar vivadent, Switzarland) and (P) for PEEK (Bio-hpp, Bredent, Germany).
