ABSTRACT
Abstract To evaluate stress distribution when applying vertical and tangential forces to 1mm thick occlusal veneers with different finish lines preparations, using the finite element method. One extracted third molar was prepared for occlusal veneers, firstly without any bevel. It was scanned in order to design two groups of lithium disilicate (G1A, G2A) and composite resin (G1B, G2B) occlusal veneers. Then, the third molar preparation was modified, beveling the finish line and it was subsequently scanned again to design the occlusal veneer groups with bevel (LD: G3A, G4A and CR: G3B, G4B). The four groups were subjected to different forces (400 N vertical and 900 N tangential). At 400 N, the non-beveled veneers showed slightly higher Von Mises stress values (G1A: 783 MPa and G1B 736.5 MPa) than the beveled veneers (G3A: 685.7 MPa and G3B: 675.8 MPa). However, when 900 N tangential forces were applied, the beveled occlusal veneers showed higher Von Mises stress values (G4A: 4297 MPa and G4B: 4133 MPa) than the non-beveled occlusal veneers (G2A: 2581.1 MPa and G2B: 3519.1 MPa). Furthermore, it was observed that the tissue under the occlusal veneers with bevel showed higher Von Mises stress values than the models without any bevel. Beveled and non-beveled occlusal veneers of lithium disilicate and composite resin presented similar stress distribution values when vertical forces of 400 N were applied; whereas with tangential forces of 900 N applied near to the finish line, the beveled groups presented notably higher stress values than the non-beveled groups. However, both finish line preparations presented adequate values for possible clinical performance.
Resumen Evaluar la distribución de estrés al aplicar fuerzas verticales y tangenciales en carillas oclusales de 1mm de espesor con diferentes líneas de terminación marginal por el método de elementos finitos. Se preparó un tercer molar extraído para carilla oclusal, primero sin bisel. Se escaneó para diseñar dos grupos de carillas oclusales de disilicato de litio (G1A, G2A) y resina compuesta (G1B, G2B). Después, esta preparación molar fue modificada, biselando la línea de terminación y escaneándola nuevamente para diseñar los grupos de carillas oclusales con bisel (DL: G3A, G4A and RC: G3B, G4B). Los 4 grupos fueron sometidos a fuerzas diferentes (400 N vertical y 900 N tangencial). Con 400 N, las carillas sin bisel presentaron ligera mayor tensión de Von Mises (G1A: 783 MPa y G1B 736.5 MPa) que las carillas con bisel (G3A: 685.7 MPa y G3B: 675.8 MPa). De distinta forma, al aplicar fuerzas tangenciales de 900 N, las carillas oclusales con bisel presentaron mayor tensión de Von Mises (G4A: 4297 MPa y G4B: 4133 MPa) que las carillas oclusales sin bisel (G2A: 2581.1 MPa y G2B: 3519.1 MPa). Además, se observó que los tejidos subyacentes a las carillas oclusales con bisel, presentaron mayor tensión de Von Mises, frente a los modelos sin bisel. Las carillas oclusales con y sin bisel de disilicato de litio y resina compuesta presentaron una distribución de estrés similar con fuerzas verticales de 400 N, por otro lado, con fuerzas tangenciales de 900 N, los grupos con bisel presentaron notablemente mayor tensión que los grupos sin bisel. Sin embargo, ambos diseños de terminación marginal presentaron valores adecuados para un posible desempeño clínico.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the factors affecting the trueness of finish lines of full crown preparations in digital impressions.@*METHODS@#A full crown preparation of the right maxillary molar was prepared on the standard resin dentition model, the trueness of the finish lines, the full crown preparation in the whole dentition and the isolated full crown preparation were measured respectively. Detection of scanning trueness of the finish lines of the full crown preparation in the whole dentition: (1) Using Imetric scanner to scan the full crown preparation, obtaining STL (Stereo lithographic) format data as the reference true value; (2) Using CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner to scan the full crown preparation, obtaining all the STL format data, import Geomagic Studio 2013 software, extraction of images and data of the complete finish lines or local finish lines (mesial, distal, buccal, lingual) of the full crown preparation, then using the data to 3D Compare Analysis with the reference true value, outputting RMS (root mean square) values which could evaluate the scanning trueness, the lower RMS value was, the lower the trueness was. The detection of scanning trueness of the finish lines of the isolated full crown preparation: (1) the anterior and posterior adjacent teeth of the preparation were removed to establish the model of the isolated full crown preparation; (2) CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner were used to scan the isolated preparations, and each group was repeated 6 times. Data collection and analysis were the same as the first part, that is, detection of scanning trueness of finish lines of the full crown preparation in the whole dentition.@*RESULTS@#In the whole dentition, (1) the RMS value [(44±7) μm] of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner scanning complete finish lines was greater than that of 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner [(35±6) μm](P < 0.05). (2) the RMS values of the mesial [(45±9) μm], buccal [(38±3) μm] and lingual [(40±3) μm] finish lines in CEREC Omnicam oral scanner scanning were all lower than that in distal [(63±7) μm](P < 0.05), and the RMS values in mesial were higher than that in buccal and lingual (P>0.05). The RMS values of 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner scanning mesial and distal finish lines were significantly higher than those of the buccal and lingual side (P>0.05), in which:(45±8) μm in mesial, (50±10) μm in the distal, (33±8) μm in the buccal and (33±6) μm in the lingual side. The RMS value of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner scanning distal finish line was greater than that of 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner (P < 0.05). Without adjacent teeth, (1) the RMS values of the complete finish lines of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3 Shape TRIOS oral scanner were significantly reduced (P < 0.05), including CEREC Omnicam oral scanner (34±3) μm and 3 Shape TRIOS oral scanner (26±4) μm; (2) the RMS values of the buccal and lingual finish lines of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner showed no significant changes (P>0.05), among which, CEREC Omnicam oral scanner buccal (44±7) μm, lingual (43±3) μm, 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner buccal (29±5) μm, lingual (40±7) μm. The RMS values of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner were significantly reduced and there was no significant difference between them (P>0.05). CEREC Omnicam oral scanner (32±8) μm and 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner (32±6) μm. The RMS values of the distal finish lines of CEREC Omnicam oral scanner and 3 Shape TRIOS oral scanner also decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and CEREC Omnicam oral scanner (38±3) μm decreased more significantly, similar to 3Shape TRIOS oral scanner (36±1) μm, P>0.05.@*CONCLUSION@#When adjacent teeth exist in the full crown preparation, the mesial and distal parts of the finish line will be blocked by adjacent teeth, which will affect the trueness of the local finish line, and ultimately reduce the trueness of the complete finish line.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of finish line design and cement space thickness on the marginal accuracy of monolithic zirconia crowns. Materials and methods: Thirty crowns were fabricated from translucent zirconia (inCoris TZI) using Cerec in-Lab system and divided into three main groups (10 each) according to the finish line type of the die (knife-edge, chamfer, and shoulder). Every group was divided into two subgroups (5 each) according to cement space thickness (20 and50µm). Optical impressions were taken for the dies using the Cerec scanner and cement space was set twice for every finish line design; 20 and 50 µm. The completed crowns were cemented to the dies and the marginal gap was evaluated. The collected data was statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test and the significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Regarding the marginal gap; there was no statistically significant difference between different finish line designs or between different cement space thicknesses. Conclusion: Neither finish line design nor cement space thickness has an effect on the marginal gap of inCoris TZI crowns. (AU)
Declaração do problema: A necessidade de um método minimamente invasivo de preparação de coroa única é inevitável, principalmente com dentes enfraquecidos e com alta probabilidade de irritação pulpar. Portanto, é necessária uma restauração durável e adaptada, com preparação menos invasiva da linha de término. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do design da linha de término e da espessura do espaço de cimento na precisão marginal das coroas monolíticas de zircônia. Material e Métodos: Trinta coroas foram fabricadas a partir de zircônia translúcida (inCoris TZI) usando o sistema Cerec em laboratório, e divididas em três grupos principais (n = 10), de acordo com o tipo de linha de término da matriz (lâmina, chanfro e ombro). Cada grupo foi dividido em dois subgrupos (5 cada), de acordo com a espessura do espaço do cimento (20 e 50 µm). Impressões ópticas foram obtidas para as matrizes usando o scanner Cerec e o espaço de cimento foi definido duas vezes para cada projeto de linha de chegada: 20 e 50 µm. As coroas confeccionadas foram cimentadas nos moldes e a diferença marginal foi avaliada. Os dados coletados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste U de Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis e o nível de significância foi estabelecido em P ≤ 0,05. Resultados: Em relação ao gap marginal não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre diferentes projetos de linha de acabamento ou entre diferentes espessuras de espaço de cimento. Conclusão: nem o design da linha de término, nem a espessura do espaço de cimento afetam a folga marginal das coroas inCoris TZI. (AU)

Introduction: Abundant resources and techniques have been used for complete coverage crown fabrication. Conventional investing and casting procedures for phosphate-bonded investments require a 2- to 4-h procedure before completion. Accelerated casting techniques have been used, but may not result in castings with matching marginal accuracy. Aims and Objectives: The study measured the marginal gap and determined the clinical acceptability of single cast copings invested in a phosphate-bonded investment with the use of conventional and accelerated methods. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty cast coping samples were fabricated using conventional and accelerated methods, with three finish lines: Chamfer, shoulder and shoulder with bevel. Sixty copings were prepared with each technique. Each coping was examined with a stereomicroscope at four predetermined sites and measurements of marginal gaps were documented for each. Statistical Analysis: A master chart was prepared for all the data and was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version. Evidence of marginal gap was then evaluated by t-test. Analysis of variance and Post-hoc analysis were used to compare two groups as well as to make comparisons between three subgroups . Results: Measurements recorded showed no statistically significant difference between conventional and accelerated groups. Conclusion: Among the three marginal designs studied, shoulder with bevel showed the best marginal fit with conventional as well as accelerated casting techniques. Accelerated casting technique could be a vital alternative to the time-consuming conventional casting technique. The marginal fit between the two casting techniques showed no statistical difference.

PURPOSE: When the full veneer crown was treated in the tooth with abfraction lesion due to various causes, the prognosis of it may be compromised according to the location of the finish line, but there is few study about the location of its buccal finish line. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of location of the finish line of the full veneer crown on stress distribution of the tooth with abfraction lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The two dimensional finite element model was developed to express tooth, surrounding tissue and full veneer crown. The stress distribution under eccentric 144 N occlusal load was analyzed using finite element analysis. The location of finish line was set just at the lower border of the lesion (Group 0), 1 mm (Group 1) and 2 mm (Group 2) below the lower border of the lesion. RESULTS: In the Group 0, von Mises stress was concentrated at the finish line and the apex of the lesion. Also, the stress at the bucal finish line propagated to the lingual side. In the Group 1 and Group 2, stress distribution was similar each other. Stress was concentrated at the apex of lesion, but the stress at the buccal finish line did not propagate to the lingual side. That implied decrease of the possibility of horizontal crown fracture. CONCLUSION: Full veneer crown alleviated the stress concentrated at the apex of the abfraction lesion, when the finish line of full veneer crown was set below the lower border of abfraction lesion.

PURPOSE: This study assessed the effect of preparation design on marginal adaptation and also compared the sensitivity and specificity of clinical evaluation techniques for marginal accuracy of cast restorations to stereomicroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three Ivorine molar teeth of different designs were prepared. (A)-A complete crown preparation with buccal shoulder and beveled finish line. (B)-A complete crown preparation with chamfer finish line. (C)-A three-quarter crown preparation with proximal boxes and beveled finish line. Twenty four castings were prepared with eight castings for each design respectively. Each casting underwent examination with an explorer, disclosing media, and a stereomicroscope. Stereomicroscopy at a value less than or equal to 30 microns was used as a gold standard to evaluate the significance of different designs on marginal adaptation. Chi-square tests of independence and Kruskal-Wallis were used to evaluate the effect of preparation design and compare the agreement between examination methods for detection of marginal gap size of greater than or equal to 30 microns (alpha=.05). Sensitivity and specificity for explorer and disclosing media as compared to stereomicroscope was calculated using statistical formula given by Park. RESULTS: The preparation design did not significantly affect overall marginal adaptation. Examination by explorer and disclosing media at 30 microm revealed 39% and 10.06% sensitivity and 91% and 82% specificity respectively. CONCLUSION: Preparation designs examined in this study did not significantly affect the marginal adaptation of the castings. Commonly used clinical evaluation techniques using explorer and disclosing media appeared to be inadequate for assessment of marginal accuracy.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this sudy was to compare the fracture resistance of the IPS Empress ceramic crown with 1.0mm width rounded shoulder, which is usually recommended in all ceramic crown, and 0.5mm width chamfer finish lines on the maxillary central incisor. MATERIAL AND METHOD: After 15 metal dies were made for each group, the IPS Empress all ceramic crowns were fabricated and cemented with resin cement(Bistite resin cement, Tokuyama Soda Co. LTD., Japan) on the metal die. The cemented crowns were mounted on the positioning jig and the universal testing machine(Zwick Z020, Zwick Co, Germany)was used to measure the fracture strength, with loading on the incisal edge. And also, three-dimensional finite element stress analysis was used to measure the stress distribution with the various types of the finish lines(1.0mm width rounded shoulder, 0.5mm width chamfer), the loading site(incisal edge, incisal 1/3), and the type of loading(concentration loading, distribution loading). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 1. In the fracture resistance experiment according to the finish line, the mean fracture strength of rounded shoulder(876N) and the mean fracture strength of chamfer(882N) did not show any significant difference between each other(p<0.05). 2. The stress distribution of all ceramic crown in three dimensional finite element analysis showed concentration aspect at loading point and cervical area of labial surface. 3. In metal die, there were no differences in stress distribution between finish lines, but in natural teeth model, chamfer finish line showed higher stress than rounded shoulder finish line. 4. When force was loaded on the incisal edge, the stress was concentrated on the incisal edge and the cervical area of labial surface. When force was loaded on the incisal 1/3, the stress concentrated on the cervical area of labial surface and the cingulum area. 5. Generally, natural teeth model showed higher and various stress than the metal die.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of abutment finish line curvature on fitness of metal ceramic crowns.Methods:Three types of finish line curvatures' abutments were prepared (1 mm-curvature, 3 mm-curvature and 5 mm-curvature). For each type of abutment, ten metal ceramic crowns were fabricated (five for facial-veneered type, five for full-veneered type). Then the fitness of the crowns were evaluated. Results:In as-cast group, both for facial-veneered type and full-veneered type, the greater the finish line curvature was, the larger gaps the mesial and distal margins of copings exhibited. Compared with labial and lingual margins, the mesial and distal margins of copings for 5 mm-curvature crowns in full-veneered type showed significantly larger gaps (respectively 35?8 micrometers and 36?8 micrometers) (P
