AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to examine how different finish lines impact the ability of polyether and polyvinyl siloxane impression materials to penetrate a simulated gingival sulcus.
  • Three types of finish lines (chamfer, deep chamfer, and radial shoulder) were tested with the impression materials using a two-step technique, with significant results determined through statistical analysis.
  • Results showed that both the deep chamfer and radial shoulder finish lines allowed for better penetration of the impression materials compared to the chamfer finish line, and polyether performed better than polyvinyl siloxane.

Article Abstract

Objective:  The aim of this study was to determine the effect of finish lines on the penetration ability of polyether and polyvinyl siloxane impression material into the simulated gingival sulcus.

Materials And Methods:  Three types of finish line (chamfer, deep chamfer, and radial shoulder) were impressed with two types of elastomeric impression material (polyether and polyvinyl siloxane) using a two-step impression technique. Ten samples of each finish line were prepared and then separated into two groups of impression material: polyether and polyvinyl siloxane. The model of the simulated gingival sulcus had a width of 0.1 mm and a depth of 3.5 mm with a subgingival finish line of 0.5 mm. The effect of the finish lines on the penetration ability of these impression materials was analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's multiple comparison tests at a statistically significant level of 0.05.

Results:  A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant difference among finish lines, impression materials, and their interaction. The deep chamfer and radial shoulder finish lines displayed significantly higher penetration ability than the chamfer finish line. Moreover, polyether revealed significantly higher penetration ability than polyvinyl siloxane.

Conclusion:  The finish lines affected the penetration ability of the impression materials. Therefore, the simulated gingival sulcus model demonstrates that it is an effective way of examining impression materials' penetration abilities.

Introduction: The biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) is a conservative tooth preparation method with no defined finish lines. Studies comparing the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) prepared using BOPT or horizontal finish lines are lacking. The primary objective of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of ETT prepared using BOPT, chamfer finish line, or shoulder finish line and restored with monolithic zirconia (MZ) crowns.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the internal fit and marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM crowns made from partially and fully crystallized lithium disilicate, using two different finish line thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1 mm).
  • - Twenty human molar teeth were tested, showing that the finish line thicknesses and ceramic types did not significantly affect internal fit, while the partially crystallized type demonstrated a significantly greater marginal gap compared to the fully crystallized type.
  • - The conclusion indicates that while finish line thickness and ceramic type have limited impact on internal fit, the fully crystallized lithium disilicate crown offers better marginal adaptation, making it a viable alternative to the standard material.

Aim And Background: This study aimed to determine the optimal finish line and material criteria for optimal marginal fit and fracture resistance in endocrowns. The impact of two preparation designs on endocrowns made from computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate and pre-processed CAD/CAM composite was compared.

Materials And Methods: In a randomized 3-arm trial involving 42 mandibular molars, two marginal configurations (with and without chamfer finish lines) were evaluated for each material group.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of horizontal and vertical dental preparation techniques on tooth-supported fixed restorations, with specific focus on survival and success rates, periodontal-related variables, and patient-reported outcome (PROs) measures.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of relevant randomized and controlled clinical trials (RCTs/CCTs), prospective/retrospective cohort studies, and case series with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years was performed across electronic databases (Medline, Embase, and Cochrane) up to January 2024. Primary outcomes included success and survival rates, and secondary outcomes included periodontal variables, both mechanical and biological complications, and PROs.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of finish-line design, tooth preparation taper or total occlusal convergence (TOC), and digital production technology on the retention of provisional crowns for molars.

Material And Methods:  Different taper angles (10° TOC and 20° TOC) and finish line designs (chamfer and shoulder) were used to prepare four mandibular first molar teeth. Two subgroups of the prepared teeth received temporary crowns that were either "Computer-Aided Design" and "Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled or 3D printed.
