Background: In this study, zirconia copings were fabricated by setting clinically acceptable inner values for prostheses using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The processed copings were evaluated for the marginal and internal fit of each abutment shape with a CAD program using the silicone replica technique. Methods A total of 20 copings was produced by selecting models commonly used in clinical practice. After injecting the sample, the minimum thickness, internal adhesion interval, and distance to the margin line were set to 0.5, 0.05, and 1.00 mm using a dental CAD program, respectively. It was measured using a 2D section function in a three-way program of the silicon replication technology. Although the positions and number of measurements of the anterior and posterior regions differed, nine parts of each pre-tube were designated and measured by referring to a previous study to compare the two samples. Results As a result, the average margin of the mesial, distal, and buccal (labial) surfaces was 59.90 ㎛ in the anterior region and 60.40 ㎛ in the posterior region. The mean axial wall margin was 67.25 ㎛ in the anterior region and 69.25 ㎛ in the posterior region. In occlusion, the anterior teeth (77.70 ㎛), posterior teeth (77.60 ㎛), and both anterior and posterior regions were within the clinically acceptable range. Conclusion The edge and inner fit of zirconia coping manufactured using the CAD/CAM system showed clinically applicable results. To reduce errors and increase accuracy, materials and machine errors that affect the manufacture of prosthetics should be investigated. Based on our results, the completeness of prosthetics could increase if the inner value and characteristics of the material are adjusted when applied in clinical practice.

In recent years, perhaps the biggest driver in new material development is the desire to improve crown and bridge esthetics compared to the traditional PFM or all-metal restorations. As such, zirconia, leucite-containing glass ceramic and lithium disilicate glass ceramic have become prominent in the dental practice. Each material type performs differently regarding strength, toughness, ease of machining and the final preparation of the material prior to placement. For example, glass ceramic are typically weaker materials which limits its use to single-unit restorations. On the other hand, zirconia has a high fracture toughness which enables multi-unit restorations. This material requires a long sintering procedure which excludes its use for fast chair side production. Developed hybrid material of CAD/CAM is contained nano ceramic elements. This new material, called a Resin Nano Ceramic is unique in durability and function. The material is not a resin or composite. It is also not a pure ceramic. The material is a mixture of both and consists of ceramic. Like a composite, the material is not brittle and is fracture resistant. Like a glass ceramic, the material has excellent polish retention for lasting esthetics. The material is easily machined chair side or in a dental lab, polishes quickly to an esthetic finish and if necessary, can be useful restoratives.

Objectives: There has been a growing interest in glass ceramic systems with good esthetics, high fracture resistance and bonding durability, and simplified fabrication techniques using CAD/CAM. The aim of this study is to compare flexural strength before and after heat treatment of two lithium disilicate CAD/CAM blocks, IPS e.max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) and Rosetta SM (Hass), and to observe their crystalline structures. Materials and Methods: Biaxial flexural strength was tested according to ISO 6872 with 20 disc form specimens sliced from each block before and after heat treatment. Also, the crystalline structures were observed using field-emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM, Hitachi) and x-ray diffraction (XRD, Rigaku) analysis. The mean values of the biaxial flexural strength were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test at a significance level of p = 0.05. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in flexural strength between IPS e.max CAD and Rosetta SM either before heat treatment or after heat treatment. For both ceramics, the initial flexural strength greatly increased after heat treatment, with significant differences (p < 0.05). The FE-SEM images presented similar patterns of crystalline structure in the two ceramics. In the XRD analysis, they also had similar patterns, presenting high peak positions corresponding to the standard lithium metasilicate and lithium disilicate at each stage of heat treatment. Conclusions: IPS e.max CAD and Rosetta SM showed no significant differences in flexural strength. They had a similar crystalline pattern and molecular composition.

치과와 기공실을 오가며 복잡하게 진행되는 기존 CAD-CAM 컴퓨터 가이드 제작 방식을 단 순화하기 위하여, 진료실에 설치한 바로가이드 시스템(VARO Guide, CAD, Pre-Guide, VARO-mill, NeoBiotech, Seoul, South Korea)을 통하여 Top-Down 개념과 수복 주도개념을 적용하여 1-day 수술과 임시보철을 완료하는 증례를 보고하고자 한다. Pre-Guide를 통해 환자의 중심위에서 교합을 채득하고 CT를 촬영하며, 진료실 내 컴퓨터에서 CAD를 통해 바로가이드를 1시간 내에 제작하였다. 미리 제작된 광중합 레진이 담긴 Pre-Guide 트레이를 술부에 위치시킨 후 중심위에서 CT를 촬영하였다. CT 데이터가 진료실 내 컴퓨터로 전송되면 수복 위치를 정한 후 이어서 3차원적으로 턱뼈에서 임플란트를 식립할 위치를 디자인하여 STL 파일로 추출하였다. 그리고 진료실에 설비된 밀링 기계(VARO-mill)에 Pre-Guide를 고정하여 수술용 가이드를 15분 내에 제작한다. 이 가이드로 환자는 한번 내원하여 임플란트를 계획한 위치에 안전하고 정확하게 수술해 줌과 더불어, 초기고정력이 양호한 임플란트에 대해서는 즉시임시치아까지 장착해 주어 환자에게 즉시 기능이 가능하도록 할 수 있었다.

Loss of dentition can lead to not only compromised esthetics and functions of the patient, but also alveolar bone resorption. Bone grafting with prosthetic reconstruction of the gingiva can be selected for the treatment, and it provides many benefits as prosthetic gingival reconstruction does not require a complicated surgical process and is available within a short period of time, with stable clinical results. However, conventional porcelain fused to metal prosthesis has certain limits due to its size, and deformation after several firing procedures. In this clinical report, the author would like to introduce a patient with severe alveolar resorption who was treated with gingiva-shaped zirconia/titanium CAD/CAM implant fixed prosthesis for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Clinical reports Clinical report 1, 2 : A case of loss of anterior dentition with atrophied alveolar bone. Implant retained zirconia bridge applied with Procera implant bridge system to simulate the gingiva. Upper structure was fabricated with zirconia all ceramic crown. Clinical report 3, 4 : A case of atrophied maxillary alveolus was reconstructed with fixed implant prosthesis, a CAD/CAM designed titanium structure covered wi th resin on its surface. Anterior dentition was reconstructed with zirconia crown. Conclusion and clinical uses. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, and maintained good oral hygiene. Zirconia/titanium implant fixed prosthesis fabricated by CAD/CAM system was highly accurate and showed adequate histological response. No critical failure was seen on the implant fixture and abutment overall. Sites of severe alveolar bone loss can be rehabilitated by implant fixed prosthesis with CAD/CAM system. This type of prosthesis can offer artificial gingival structure and can give more satisfying esthetics and functions, and as a result the patients were able to accept the outcome more fondly, which makes us less than hard to think that it can be a more convenient treatment for the practitioners.

Background: This study aimed to compare and evaluate the marginal fit of nanocomposite computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) inlays. Three types of nanocomposite CAD/CAM blocks (HASEM, VITA Enamic, and Lava Ultimate) were used as materials. Methods: Class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations were prepared on a typodont mandibular right first molar using diamond rotary instruments. The inlays were fabricated using CAD/CAM technology and evaluated using the silicone replica technique to measure marginal gaps at five locations on each inlay. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc tests (α=0.05). Results: There were no significant differences in the marginal gaps based on the type of nanocomposite CAD/CAM inlay used (p=0.209). However, there was a significant difference in the marginal gaps between the measurement regions. The gingival region consistently exhibited a larger marginal gap than the axial and occlusal regions (p<0.001). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the measurement location significantly influenced the marginal fit of class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations. However, there were no significant differences in the marginal gaps among the different types of CAD/CAM blocks. Furthermore, the overall mean marginal fits of the class II disto-occlusal inlay restorations made with the three types of nanocomposite CAD/CAM blocks were within the clinically acceptable range.

조기 교정치료의 개입은 종종 성장하는 치열을 정상 교합으로 유도하는 것에서부터 시작된다. 유치의 상실로 인한 맹출 실패를 예방하는 가장 간단한 방법은 밴드 및 루프와 같은 공간 유지장치를 부착하는 것이다. 밴드 및 루프 공간 유지장치는 밴드의 픽업 인상 과정을 거쳐야 하며, 시멘트 소실과 탈회, 인접치의 locking과 같은 문제들을 갖고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 CAD/CAM을 이용한 band가 필요 없는 공간유지장치가 개발되었다. 본 증례는 밴드 없이 CAD/CAM을 이용하여 하악 제2소구치가 성공적으로 맹출할 수 있었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

제한된 조건 하에서 수행된 본 연구에서 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치과용 캐드캠을 이용하여 제작된 지르코니아 코어의 변연 및 내면 적합도보다 전통적인 방식을 이용하여 제작한 금속 코어가 모든 부위에서 우수하였다(p<.001). 2. 두 그룹 모두에서 적합도가 가장 미흡한 부분은 절단부였고, 축벽부가 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 볼 때 아직까지는 치과용 캐드캠을 이용하여 보철물을 제작하는 것이 기존의 기공 방식을 이용하여 제작된 보철물의 적합도만큼 만족스럽지는 못하였으나 임상적 허용 범위 안에 존재하였다는 점에서 치과용 캐드캠은 임상적으로 사용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 앞으로 기계가 개선되고 가공 방식이 지금보다 발전한다면 기존의 기공 방식을 이용하여 제작되는 보철물의 완성도를 능가할 것으로 생각된다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal discrepancy of heat-pressed ceramic veneers manufactured using a CAD/CAM system. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The ceramic veneers for the abutment of a maxillary left central incisor were designed using a CAD/CAM software program. Ten veneers using a microstereolithography apparatus (AM group), ten veneers using a five-axis milling machine (SM group), and ten veneers using a traditional free-hand wax technique (TW group) were prepared according to the respective manufacturing method. The ceramic veneers were also fabricated using a heat-press technique, and a silicone replica was used to measure their marginal discrepancy. The marginal discrepancies were measured using a digital microscope (${\times}160$ magnification). The data were analyzed using a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis H test. Finally, post-hoc comparisons were conducted using Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U tests (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. The $mean{\pm}SD$ of the total marginal discrepancy was $99.68{\pm}28.01{\mu}m$ for the AM group, $76.60{\pm}28.76{\mu}m$ for the SM group, and $83.08{\pm}39.74{\mu}m$ for the TW group. There were significant differences in the total marginal discrepancies of the ceramic veneers (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The SM group showed a better fit than the AM and TW groups. However, all values were within the clinical tolerance. Therefore, CAD/CAM manufacturing methods can replace the traditional free-hand wax technique.
