Abstract
This comparative in vitro study evaluated surface treatment methods for chairside CAD/CAM lithium disilicate enriched with virgilite using atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. Specimens were fabricated from two lithium disilicate materials: the traditional material (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and a virgilite-containing material (CEREC Tessera, Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA). Surface roughness (Ra) [in micrometers (μm)] was quantitatively assessed with AFM. The results demonstrated that IPS e.max CAD with glazing exhibited the smoothest surface with the lowest Ra values (10.03 ± 5.03 μm). In contrast, CEREC Tessera exhibited the highest surface roughness when treated with glazing (51.98 ± 12.31 μm), while the zirconia polishing system provided a smoother surface (15.44 ± 9.69 μm).
期刊介绍:
Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries. In 2012, we printed 84 articles (672 pages). Papers were submitted by authors from 45 countries, in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials and Abstracts.
One of the strong points of our journal is that our current publication time for accepted manuscripts is 4 to 6 months from the date of submission. Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations have a very quick turnaround time, which allows for very rapid publication of clinical based concepts. We also provide color for those papers that would benefit from its use.
The journal does not accept any advertising but you will find postings for faculty positions. Additionally, the journal also does not rent, sell or otherwise allow its subscriber list to be used by any other entity
