The success of dental porcelains is partly related to their flexural strength. The values of flexural strength of three porcelain Systems were measured to include In-Ceram Alumina, In-Ceram Zirconia, and Finesse press all ceramic porcelain systems. \u0000Material and methods: The flexural strengths of the three porcelain systems were determined by employing the method ISO specification 6872.

Although it hasn't been shown that endodontically treated teeth are more brittle than healthy ones, pulpless teeth are known to crack during mastication. As a result of this known phenomenon, dental professionals have been looking for strategies to prevent pulpless teeth from breaking. Restoration and reinforcement of pulpless teeth is a crucial preventative step in endodontic therapy. A post is cemented into the root canal to reinforce a healthy endodontically treated tooth. The post is supposed to reinforce the tooth and keep it from breaking. A widely used technique for repairing teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment is post and cores. \u0000Retention applied onto the root thorough final restoration using the post and core restoration as a substructure. Therefore, post placement in the root is crucial. In order to ensure retention for a fixed restoration, endodontically treated teeth are frequently treated with posts and cores. Teeth that had gone through endodontic treatment often suffer from severe coronal damage. In order to ensure retention for full or partial coverage restoration, these teeth may require a coronal substructure or core for retention of a full or partial bonding restoration. Generally, primary retention feature of a core is an intraradicular post. Posts and cores are routinely used for endodontical teeth restoration.

It is a relatively simple and conservative technique that makes possible to change dental colour by removing discolorations. Four different patients applied to our Faculty for whitening treatment at different times. In clinical examinations, we detected extrinsic discoloration of the teeth. For this reason, we decided to apply office bleaching treatment (Opalescence BOOST, Ultradent Products INC., USA). First of all, measures were taken to protect the lips, gums and oral mucosa. Gums were covered with gingival barrier (OpalDam Green, Ultradent Products INC., USA). Isolation was provided with cotton pellets. 40% Hydrogen Peroxide was applied to the maxillary and mandibular teeth inculuding between the second premolars. After 20 minutes of application, hydrogen peroxide was carefully removed with water and cotton pellets have been replaced. After that, a second 20 minutes application was made with the whitening agent. When the application period was over, it was removed with water and the gingival barrier has been removed.

Thanks to the fluorescent active property of the dyestuff, the emission spectra were measured with the fluorescent spectrometer, which is highly sensitive to changes, and the sealing capacities could be determined more precisely, depending on time. In addition, the gap between the implant and the abutment connection was determined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and the sealing capacities were evaluated from a different perspective. In addition, sealing tests of the same implant systems were also performed with methylene blue dyestuff and the results were compared. The efficiency of our synthesized dyestuff was determined. \u0000Results: \u0000The dyestuff to be used in the sealing tests of the implants was synthesized and characterized in a short time in our laboratory. The phthalocyanine compound from the porphyrin class was obtained as a result of the tetramerization reaction of the synthesized phthalonitrile derivative. The dyestuff, which can be synthesized in a short time like 10 minutes, was purified by taking advantage of the solubility difference and chromatographic methods. The obtained dyestuff was characterized by NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis, and MALDI-TOF MS. The results obtained are in harmony with the structure of the molecule. The dyestuff produced is water soluble and was especially used to determine the sealing capacity of the implant abutment connection of dental implant systems produced by ESTAŞ. The sealing properties of the implant were determined by spectroscopic methods such as UV-Vis and fluorescence. In addition, sealing capacities were evaluated with SEM. According to the results obtained, we can say that the synthesized dyestuff is a dye that can give spectroscopically more sensitive results than methylene blue. \u0000Conclusions: \u0000Dental implants, which are artificially placed in the mouth to support dental prostheses, have changed dental treatment methods to a large extent and become the most preferred successful technique. However, infection risks may occur during the treatment due to the formation of a gap between the abutment cap and the implant resulting from both the production and adaptation of the abutment cap, which is a part of the implant. For this reason, it is important that the implants produced are routinely sensitively checked for sealing and put into use. In addition, sealing control will contribute to the control and shaping of the process from the manufacturing stage of the implant. \u0000In line with all the data obtained, it has been determined that the implant types produced by ESTAŞ have a sealing ","PeriodicalId":10781,"journal":{"name":"Cumhuriyet Dental Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49463400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
