Effect of cyclic loading on fracture strength and microleakage of a quartz fiber dowel with different adhesive, cement and resin core material combin…
2010
Background: This study evaluated the performance of different adhesive-cement-core combinations coupled with quartz fiber dowels after cyclic loading and fracture strength tests and assessed the microleakage using dye penetration method. Methods: Forty maxillary canines (n=10 per group) were restored with fiber dowels (Quartz fiber DT Light Post) and four adhesive-cement-core material combinations [(Group 1: All-Bond 2+C&B (root) / All-Bond 2+Biscore (core); Group 2: All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (root) / All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (core); Group 3: Scotchbond 1+RelyX ARC (root) / Scotchbond 1+Supreme (core); Group 4: RelyX Unicem (root) / Scotchbond 1+Filtek Supreme (core)]. The specimens were initially c…
Mechanical resistance of zirconium implant abutments: A review of the literature
2010
The increase of aesthetic demands, together with the successful outcome of current implants, has renewed interest in the search for new materials with enough mechanical properties and better aesthetic qualities than the materials customarily used in implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation. Among these materials, zirconium has been used in different types of implants, including prosthetic abutments. The aim of the present review is to analyse current scientific evidence supporting the use of this material for the above mentioned purposes. We carried out the review of the literature published in the last ten years (2000 through 2010) of in vitro trials of dynamic and static loading of zirconium ab…
