Statement Of Problem: Wear of the maxillary canine cusps is a common clinical condition which can affect function and esthetics and, in some situations, lead to occlusal pathology. The mechanical behavior of different restorative techniques for the condition is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of direct or indirect restorative techniques used in restoring canine guidance.
Material And Methods: Three-dimensional models obtained from 10 extracted undamaged maxillary canines were modeled by using reverse engineering. Each model received 2 different preparations: incisal (I) or incisal and labial (IL), restored with composite resin (CR) or ceramic (C), compared with unrestored teeth (U). Finite element analysis was used to evaluate the total deformation and the maximum principal stress. For the in vitro wear test, 30 teeth were divided into groups: U (control), I-CR, and IL-C. The teeth were wear tested for 240 000 cycles with a 2-mm sliding contact, a load of 49 N applied, with a 4-Hz cycle with a composite resin piston as antagonist. The wear of restorations and antagonists was quantified by the digital image correlation technique. The 1-way analysis of variance test for total deformation and the Tukey test for the maximum principal stress were used (α=.05) to statistically analyze the data. The Friedman test was applied in the comparison between wear cycles, and the Tukey test was used in the comparison among groups.
Results: No significant difference was found among groups (P>.05) for the total deformation. IL-CR showed a higher failure probability, reaching stress peaks which exceeded the tensile strength of the material. I-CR showed greater wear in the in vitro test than IL-C (P=.02). No difference was found among groups in antagonist wear (P=.074).
Conclusions: Ceramic restorations with labial involvement show biomechanical behavior closer to that of unrestored teeth in restoring canine guidance compared with composite resin.

Direct resin restoration has been widely used to restore the tooth defect for its convenience and minimal invasion. However, the accuracy of the final contour of class II restoration is often unpredictable and quite technique-sensitive due to the limitation of traditional matrix band system. In this study, the authors developed a novel matrix band system using shape memory polymer (SMP), which possessed two reversible shapes including digitized permanent shape to reproduce anatomical proximal contour and programmable temporary shape for clinical practice and reservation.

Objectives: Highly translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has become more popular due to its enhanced aesthetics. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of traditional air abrasion and a new etching and cleaning agent, Multi Etchant, on the mechanical performance, optical properties, and bond strength of highly translucent zirconia.
Methods: Specimens of 6YSZ, 5YSZ, 4YSZ&5YSZ, and conventional 3YSZ were fabricated and underwent different surface treatments, including as milled, air abrasion, and Multi Etchant.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical margin relocation with four different injectable restorative materials on the fracture resistance of molars receiving mesio-occluso-distal CAD/CAM nanoceramic onlay restorations.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and five sound mandibular molars received a standardized mesio-occluso-distal onlay preparation, with cervical margins located 2 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The molars were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 21) according to the cervical relocating materials used: Group I had no cervical margin relocation; Group II used a highly viscous glass ionomer; Group III used a highly-filled injectable resin composite; Group IV used a resin-modified glass ionomer; and Group V used a bioactive ionic resin.
