Background: To explore the effect of adhesive surface with porcelain sintering and different silane coupling agents on adhesive properties of zirconia ceramics.

Methods: Zirconia blocks (n=72) were randomly divided into two large groups (n=36) according to whether the adhesive surface was treated with sintered porcelain: N (no porcelain sintering), P (porcelain sintering). Then, according to different silane coupling agents, each group was randomly divided into three small groups, six small groups in total (n=12): NN (no porcelain sintering and agent), NM (no porcelain sintering + Monobond-S), NC (no porcelain sintering + Clearfil Repair); PN (porcelain sintering + no agent), PM (porcelain sintering + Monobond-S), PC (porcelain sintering + Clearfil Repair). After surface treatment, RelyX Unicem Cement was used to make ceramic-resin bonding specimens. Then, each of the six small groups was randomly divided into two subgroups; shear bond strength (SBS) was tested and bond failure mode was analyzed before and after thermal cycling 5,000 times.

Results: (I) SBS analysis: the SBS values of the P groups were significantly higher than those of the N groups (P<0.05). The groups treated with silane coupling agents showed higher SBS values than the control group (P<0.05), and the PC groups showed the highest SBS values (P<0.05). The SBS of each group was significantly decreased after thermal cycling (P<0.05). (II) The microcharacteristics under scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum analysis: the ceramic blocks being treated by porcelain sintering showed more roughness than the control group. A large amount of silicon (Si) appeared on the surface of the ceramic blocks after porcelain sintering.

Conclusions: (I) Treating the adhesive surface by porcelain sintering can improve the bonding strength between zirconia and RelyX Unicem Cement, and the effect was better in conjunction with silane coupling agent. (II) The two kinds of silane coupling agent (Monobond-S, Clearfil Repair) can improve the bonding strength between zirconia and resin cement. The effect of Clearfil Repair is better than that of Monobond-S. (III) Thermal cycling had a significant adverse effect on SBS between zirconia and RelyX Unicem Cement. Clearfil Repair is helpful in improving the durability of zirconia bonding strength.

Aim: Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations are essential in fixed prosthodontics for their strength and esthetics, but are prone to fractures due to material disparities and stress factors. This study evaluates the shear bond strength (SBS) of two porcelain repair systems for cohesive and adhesive fractures in conventional PFM and direct metal laser-sintered (DMLS) restorations, addressing clinical repair needs.

Materials And Methods: Thirty metal-ceramic discs were fabricated and divided into two main groups based on the fabrication method: Conventional casting and DMLS.

Objectives:  Fabrication processes affect accuracy of restoration. This study compared marginal accuracy of ceramic veneer metal upon different metal substructure fabrication techniques, ceramic veneering methods, stages, and sites of restoration.

Material And Methods:  A prepared premolar metal abutment was used to fabricate 96 metal substructures from 4 techniques: cast metal with traditionally impressed tooth (CmTt), cast metal with digitally milled wax (CmDw), sintered metal with digitally impressed tooth (SmDt), and sintered metal with digitally impressed stone model (SmDm).

Introduction: The marginal fit of dental restorations is essential for longevity and effectiveness of fixed prostheses, particularly single-unit crowns. Direct digital scanning offers significant advantages over indirect methods, providing a non-invasive, accurate, and reproducible means to evaluate marginal fit. This study aimed to assess the marginal fit of single-unit copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) utilizing direct three-dimensional (3D) scanning.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the thickness of porcelain veneers and the type of luting resin affect the opalescence of veneers used for discolored teeth.
  • Ninety porcelain veneer specimens were created and grouped based on the type of porcelain and whether resin cement was applied, with varying thicknesses analyzed using statistical methods.
  • Results showed that thicker veneer layers and the inclusion of opaque materials significantly enhanced the opalescence of the restorations, indicating a positive correlation between thickness and aesthetic performance.

Double Monolithic Protocol: The Solution to Fluorescence Limitations.

J Esthet Restor Dent

December 2024

Center for Innovation and Research in Oral Sciences (CIROS), Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.

Objective: The present paper aims to demonstrate the incorporation of the double monolithic protocol (DMP) into a chairside digital workflow to reproduce the fluorescence properties of natural teeth with chairside monolithic restorations when exposed to different light sources.

Clinical Considerations: A female patient reporting dissatisfaction with her upper anterior teeth was rehabilitated using seven veneers and a three-element bridge. The DMP was applied to the bridge, which consisted of a primary lithium disilicate framework to which leucite-reinforced glass ceramic veneers were cemented.
