SUMMARY Objective: To assess the efficacy of dedicated finishing/polishing systems on roughness and gloss VITA Suprinity IPS e.max CAD. Method: A total 24 blocks were cut into a wedge shape using an InLab MC-XL milling unit. After crystallization, wedges divided four subgroups: group A.1: Polishing Set Clinical used for 30 seconds A.2: 60 seconds; A.3: Akzent Plus Paste; A.4: spray. The (group B) subgroups according to finishing procedure: B.1: Optrafine Ceramic System B.2: B.3: CAD...
Abstract Purpose Tetragonal zirconia polycrystals ( TZP ) can be used via CAD / CAM technique as metal replacement for fixed partial dentures. However, its intense white color and high opacity may represent an aesthetic limit. New TZPs with a claimed higher degree of translucency were recently marketed. The aim the study was to investigate contrast ratio CR ), parameter TP flexural strength (σ), Weibull characteristic (σ 0 modulus m three “traditional” IPS e.max Zir‐CAD , inCoris ZI VITA...
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentration and etching time on microshear bond strength (µSBS) RelyX Unicem 2 (3M Oral Care) to VITA Suprinity (Vita Zahnfabrik; zirconia-reinforced lithium-silicate glass ceramic: ZLS) IPS e.max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent; lithium-disilicate LD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight bars each were fabricated ZLS LD with Cerec InLab MC-XL. For material, 8 groups formed respect (20, 40, 60, 120 s) HF (4.9% 9.5%). In group, after...
This study aimed at evaluating the effects of different surface conditionings on microshear bond strength (µSBS) a self-adhesive resin cement to VITA Suprinity (ZLS) and IPS e.max CAD (LD). Three conditioning protocols were performed ZLS LD before luting with (RelyX Unicem 2, RXU): hydrofluoric acid (HF), HF + silane (HF S), or Monobond Etch & Prime (EP). In each group, 15 cylindrical buildups RXU prepared five milled bars submitted µSBS test. Data statistically analyzed two-way ANOVA...
PURPOSETo evaluate the 20-year prognosis of endodontically treated/re-treated teeth in a population with multiple patient/tooth/site risk factors, and to investigate prognostic factors that could predict long-term outcome endodontic therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis ambispective cohort study included patients who received primary/secondary root canal therapy from 1986 1998 performed by single operator private practice.Outcomes measures were: tooth survival; clinical radiographic success, as...
