PURPOSE. To verify the influence of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) implant-supported prostheses manufactured with cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) and zirconia (Zr), and whether ceramic application, spark erosion, and simulation of masticatory cycles modify biomechanical parameters (marginal fit, screw-loosening torque, and strain) on the implant-supported system. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Ten full-arch fixed frameworks were manufactured by a CAD/CAM milling system with Co-Cr and Zr (n=5/group). The marginal fit between the abutment and frameworks was measured as stated by single-screw test. Screw-loosening torque evaluated screw stability, and strain analysis was explored on the implant-supported system. All analyses were performed at 3 distinct times: after framework manufacturing; after ceramic application in both materials' frameworks; and after the spark erosion in Co-Cr frameworks. Afterward, stability analysis was re-evaluated after 106 mechanical cycles (2 Hz/150-N) for both materials. Statistical analyses were performed by Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (α=.05). RESULTS. No difference between the two materials was found for marginal fit, screwloosening torque, and strain after framework manufacturing (P>.05). Ceramic application did not affect the variables (P>.05). Spark erosion optimized marginal fit and strain medians for Co-Cr frameworks (P<.05). Screw-loosening torque was significantly reduced by masticatory simulation (P<.05) regardless of the framework materials. CONCLUSION. Co-Cr and Zr frameworks presented similar biomechanical behavior. Ceramic application had no effect on the biomechanical behavior of either material. Spark erosion was an effective technique to improve Co-Cr biomechanical behavior on the implant-supported system. Screw-loosening torque was reduced for both materials after masticatory simulation.

Purpose: This study provided the basic data for selecting the zirconia blocks by comparing the mechanical properties of the all ceramic crown between the domestic, import, translucent and shade blocks that were used in clinically. Methods: Currently, the most commercial block of five types(one import and two domestic block which is the translucent and shade) were used. It were elucidated by means of three point bending test, hardness test, FE-SEM observations and EDX analysis. The results were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA and Scheffe post hoc test for significant findings. Results: For flexural strength, LT specimen was the highest as 733.1 MPa, followed by JT specimen(712.0 MPa), ZT specimen(646.0 MPa), LS specimen(553.1 MPa), JS specimen(429.0 MPa). One-way ANOVA showed statistically significant difference between groups for flexural strength(p<0.05). For hardness, ZT specimen was the highest as 1556.5 Hv, followed by JT specimen(1540.3 Hv), LT specimen(1512.3 Hv), JS specimen(1472.0 Hv), LS specimen(1353.3 Hv). One-way ANOVA showed statistically significant difference between groups for hardness(p<0.05). Conclusion: Domestic block was higher than import block for flexural strength, and translucent block was higher than shade block for flexural strength. However, all blocks showed clinically acceptable range. There was no significant difference in hardness between domestic and import blocks. And significant difference was observed in translucent and shade blocks.

Purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the hardness according to the conditions of metal alloys. Moreover, the correlation between the cast crown hardness before and after wear testing and the degree of wear for each dental alloy was assessed. Materials and Methods. Cast crowns of three metal alloys (Co-Cr, gold, and Ni-Cr alloys) opposing smooth-surface monolithic zirconia were used. The Vickers microhardness of the ingot (which did not undergo wear testing) and the cast crown before and after wear testing were measured for each alloy. Two-way ANOVA and Scheffé tests were used to compare the measured hardness values. Moreover, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between the surface hardness and the wear of the cast crown (α=.05). Results. There was no significant difference in the hardness before and after wear testing for the gold alloy (P>.05); however, the hardness of the worn surface of the cast crown increased compared to that of the cast crown before the wear tests of Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloys (P<.05). Furthermore, there was no correlation between the wear and hardness of the cast crown before and after wear testing for all three metal alloys (P>.05). Conclusion. There was a significant difference in hardness between dental alloys under the same conditions. No correlation existed between the surface hardness of the cast crown before and after wear testing and the wear of the cast crown.

Objective: To assess the color stability and translucency of full cubic stabilized zirconia (FSZ) following orthodontic bonding with different surface treatments and coffee thermocycling (CTC). Methods: This in vitro study was conducted on 120 disc-shaped specimens of FSZ. Thirty specimens were selected as the control group and remained intact. The remaining specimens were randomly divided into three groups based on the type of surface treatment (n = 30): airborne particle abrasion (APA), silica-coating (CoJet), and carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser. After metal bracket bonding in the test groups, debonding and polishing were performed. Subsequently, all specimens underwent CTC (10,000 cycles). Color parameters, color difference (ΔE₀₀), and translucency parameter (TP) were measured three times at baseline (t0), after debonding and polishing (t1), and after CTC (t2). Data were statistically analyzed (α = 0.05). Results: Significant difference existed among the groups regarding ΔE₀₀t0t2 (p < 0.001). The APA group showed minimum (ΔE₀₀ = 1.15 ± 0.53) and the control group showed maximum (ΔE₀₀ = 0.19 ± 0.02) color stability, with no significant difference between the laser and CoJet groups (p = 0.511). The four groups were significantly different regarding ΔTPt0t2 (p < 0.001). Maximal increases in TP were noted in the CoJet (1.00 ± 0.18) and APA (1.04 ± 0.38) groups while minimal increase was recorded in the control group (0.1 ± 0.02). Conclusions: Orthodontic treatment makes zirconia restorations susceptible to discoloration and increased translucency. Nonetheless, the recorded ΔE₀₀ and ΔTP did not exceed the acceptability threshold.

The development of dental materials has widened the scope of materials by changes in processing methods. CAD/CAM processing enables the use of zirconia as a dental material. Recent esthetic materials development has been made. For aesthetic purposes, a block for CAD/CAM processing by mixing polymer and ceramic materials are fabricated. However there is no guideline of how these materials should be used in actual clinical practice. Mechanical properties, wear and clinical studies were reviewed.

심미성에 대한 요구가 증가함에 따라 유구치 수복을 위한 지르코니아 전장관은 더 활발하게 사용되고 있으나, 지르코니아 전장관으로 수복한 치아를 장기간 추적 관찰하거나 다른 재료와 비교한 연구는 많지 않다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 인접면 우식증에 대한 지르코니아 전장관과 기성금속관의 36개월 동안의 생존율을 비교하여 평가하고, 각 기성관의 수복 실패 양상을 분석하는 것이다. 2017년부터 2019년까지 조선대학교 치과병원 소아치과와 두 개의 개인 치과의원에 내원하여 두 기성관으로 수복 치료를 받은 498명 환자에 대한 1,061개의 유구치에 대한 전자의무기록지와 방사선 사진을 수집하고 분석하였다. 생존분석 결과, 기성금속관으로 수복한 치아의 생존율이 지르코니아 전장관에 비해 유의하게 높았다. 치수 치료 시행 여부를 나눠 생존 분석을 시행한 결과, 치수 치료를 시행하지 않은 경우, 기성금속관의 생존율이 지르코니아 전장관에 비해 유의하게 높았던 반면, 치수 치료를 시행한 경우에는 두 기성관의 생존율에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 기성금속관의 주된 수복실패 원인은 비정상적 치근 흡수 또는 치근단 투과상 병소의 발생이었고, 지르코니아 전장관의 경우 수복물의 탈락이었다. 이 연구는 임상가들에게 구치부 기성관 재료 선택 시 참고 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the phase transition according to the zirconia surface treatment. Methods: The specimens were divided to four groups. The first group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$ and ground; the second group was sintered at $700^{\circ}C$, ground, and sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$; the third group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$, ground, and $110{\mu}m$-sandblasted; and the fourth group was sintered at $1,500^{\circ}C$, ground, $110{\mu}m$-sandblasted, treated with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid, and ultrasonic cleaner-washed for two minutes. The monoclinic fractions were measured, and the surface was observed via SEM. Results: The monoclinic fraction was $0.13{\pm}0.19%$ in the control group Zr1, $1.91{\pm}0.15%$ in the experimental group Zr2, $7.71{\pm}0.34%$ in Zr3, and $8.39{\pm}0.25%$ in Zr4. On the surface, the phase transition hardly occurred in the control group Zr1, but it increasingly occurred in the experimental groups Zr3 and Zr4. Conclusion: The monoclinic fraction was high in the experimental groups Zr3 and Zr4. The phase transition did not occur in the control group, but increasingly occurred in the experimental groups.

The tribological characteristics of dental metal alloys and zirconia were studied by carrying out a friction and wear performance test. In this study, a pin-on-disk-type tester was used and dead weight was employed as the normal load applied to the test specimen. The friction coefficient of dental metal alloys was investigated in terms of their weight and sliding velocity. Microscopic observations were carried out on worn surfaces of specimens. The results indicated that among all metal alloys, Super-A had the highest friction coefficient. Super-A had the lowest amount of wear among all metal alloys, and the amount of wear increased in the following order: Crown & Bridge, Porcelain, and Partial. Crown & Bridge had the best friction coefficient, but the hardness of Crown & Bridge was lower than that of Porcelain and Partial. Experimental measurement results indicated that the disk weight before and after the experiment was the same.
