Objective: To measure and compare the retention of zirconia crowns cemented with Ceramir (Calcium phosphate-based Bioactive Cement), RelyX Luting Plus (RMGI Cement) and RelyX Unicem (Self-adhesive resin cement) to extracted teeth following thermocycling. Methods: 30 sound extracted non-carious human molars were collected following IRB approval. The selected molars were notched at the roots and mounted into PVC molds filled with acrylic resin (Yates Motloid, USA). The occlusal surface was ground flat on a model trimmer. The axial reductions were performed with a standardized crown preparation device using a Komet 5845KR (“onlay”) diamond bur. A 10 degree ramp was used to …

An In Vitro Evaluation Of Abutment Design For Anterior Zirconia Resin Bonded Restorations, Watcharapong Aroonsang

Resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have evolved from metal frameworks to esthetic all ceramic tooth colored restorations. However these restorations frequently fail due to a loss of retention of the retainers. As the frameworks for these restorations have changed to more esthetic ceramic materials, the search for the ideal conservative preparation design providing maximum retention is critical to improve the life span of these restorations. Purpose: This in vitro evaluation measured and compared the resistance and retention created with different abutment preparation designs with a zirconia framework. Method: 21 extracted human maxillary central incisors were divided into three groups of …
