Purpose: To investigate the relationship between size of different connectors and bending strength of cast porcelain materials.
Methods: The samples were divided into 5 groups according to the area of all-porcelain materials and simulated connector. In group A, simulated connector with cast porcelain material with a cross-section of 2 mm×3 mm was selected; In group B, simulated connector with cast porcelain material with a cross-section of 2 mm×4 mm was selected; In group C, simulated connector with cast porcelain material with a cross-section of 3 mm×3 mm was selected; In group D, simulated connector with cast porcelain material with a cross-section of 3 mm×4 mm was selected; In group E, simulated connector with zirconium oxide material with a cross-section of 2 mm×3 mm was selected. The fracture load was tested using classical three-point bending experiment, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0 software package.
Results: For lithium disilicate cast porcelain, the fracture load increased with increasing cross section area, but both below the shear zirconia fracture load with a cross section of 2 mm×3 mm(P＜0.05).The increase in width increased the fracture load of porcelain samples compared to the length.
Conclusions: It is suitable to increase linker area when cast porcelain is applied to single-end bridge, which is especially achieved by increasing the width at the linker.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

Purpose: Metal-ceramic screw-retained implant restorations persist as a fundamental choice in specific clinical scenarios. Little is known about the effects of fabrication steps and aging on their structural properties. This study aimed to investigate how laboratory fabrication procedures and thermomechanical loading affect the structural properties of screw-retained metal-ceramic implant restorations.

A high-noble Au-Pt-Ge porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) dental alloy without the known adverse metallic elements and with the addition of germanium (Ge) was produced as a more cost-effective alternative to other precious alloying metals, with investigations for determining the functionality and clinical use of this alloy. The thermomechanical, biocompatibility, durability, workability and economic characteristics of the produced dental alloy were investigated. These properties were investigated with in vitro biocompatibility testing on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs); static immersion testing for metal ion release; DSC analysis; hardness, tensile testing, density and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) measurements; metallographic and SEM/EDX microstructure investigations; and finally with the production of a test PFM dental bridge.

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).

Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how oxidation heat treatment (OHT) and dual opaquing techniques affect the bond strength between metal and ceramic in dental materials.
- Eighty samples were created, divided into two main groups based on oxidation treatment, and further categorized by single or double layers of opaque porcelain, followed by flexural strength testing.
- Results showed that the combination of OHT and double layering (group A2) resulted in the highest bond strength, highlighting the significance of these techniques in enhancing ceramo-metal restorations.
