Statement Of Problem: Early childhood caries is one the world's most common problems in infants and treatment of posterior teeth with esthetic crowns in a low rate of wear on opposite dentition is a challenge for pediatric dentists.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the wear behavior of the tooth colored crown materials and the opposing teeth in using different esthetic crown materials in the mixed dentition period.

Material And Methods: The following tooth type and crown materials were considered in the experiment. Primary molars consist of first and second molars that were close to exfoliation or needed to be extracted because of orthodontic treatment and were caries free and with no restorations. Permanent teeth consisted of third molars that were caries free and with no restorations. Three different types of crown materials were used: nano-hybrid resin (VarseoSmile Crown ; Bego GmbH), tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline stabilized with 3 mol% yttria (G-CERAM; Atlas Enta), and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD; Ivoclar AG). The wear test was performed in an artificial saliva environment (pH=6.7), based on the pin-on-plate technique, for a 2-mm stroke, under a compressive force of 30-N, at a frequency of 2-Hz and with 10 000, 20 000, and 30 000 cycles. A multi-way ANOVA statistical method was used (α=.05).

Results: Wear of the opposing teeth by the glass-ceramic was greater than by the nano-hybrid resin or zirconia materials (P<.05). All 3 crown materials wore primary teeth more than permanent teeth (P<.05). Compared with nano-hybrid resin, zirconia led to more wear of the opposing tooth (P<.05). The wear behavior of the nano-hybrid resin was more predictable compared with the other 2 materials.

Conclusions: Zirconia and lithium disilicate-based glass-ceramic materials caused more wear on both primary and permanent teeth compared with nano-hybrid materials, yet exhibited less wear themselves when opposed by primary or permanent teeth.

Comparative Analysis of CAD-CAM Workflow Variations on the Marginal and Internal Gaps and Fatigue Behavior of Ceramic and Resin Composite Dental Crowns.

Post-Graduate Program in Oral Sciences (Prosthodontics Units), Faculty of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Objectives:  To analyze the marginal/internal gap and the fatigue behavior of crowns made of two different materials, using four combinations of a digital workflow-two intraoral scanners (IOSs) and two milling machines.

Materials And Methods:  Crowns were made considering three factors: IOS (a confocal microscopy-based scanner: TRIOS 3-TR; or a combination of active triangulation and dynamic confocal microscopy: Primescan-PS), milling machines (four-axis: CEREC MC XL-CR or five-axis: PrograMill PM7-PM), and restorative material (lithium disilicate-LD or resin composite-RC) ( = 10). The bonding surface of each crown was treated and bonded to each respective glass fiber-reinforced epoxy resin die using a dual-cure resin cement.

Objectives:  This article evaluates the marginal and internal gap, interfacial volume, and fatigue behavior in computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) restorations with different designs (crowns or endocrowns) made from lithium disilicate-based ceramic (LD, IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar AG) or resin composite (RC, Tetric CAD, Ivoclar AG).

Materials And Methods:  Simplified LD and RC crowns (-C) and endocrowns (-E) were produced ( = 10) using CAD-CAM technology, through scanning (CEREC Primescan, Dentsply Sirona) and milling (CEREC MC XL, Dentsply Sirona), and then adhesively bonded to fiberglass-reinforced epoxy resin.

Objective:  Increase in vertical marginal discrepancy (VMD) during repeated firing cycles and its clinical outcomes is a major concern for high and low translucent monolithic zirconia crowns. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare VMD in high and low translucent monolithic zirconia crowns in repeated firing cycles.

Material And Methods:  To perform this study, 10 monolithic zirconia crowns made by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing method were used in two groups of five with high and low translucency, which were designed on Zimmer tissue-level implant abutment.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the stress distribution in bone tissue, implant, abutment, screw, and bridge restoration when the mesial implant is placed axially and the distal implant is inserted at varying angles in the posterior maxillary region with free-end partial dentition defects, using three-dimensional finite element analysis.

Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed-tomography were utilized to create 3D reconstruction models of the maxilla. Stereolithography data of dental implants and accessories were used to design a three-unit full zirconia bridge for the maxillary model.
