This protocol requires that each unit be able to withstand mastication forces. Non-splinted restorations have numerous interproximal contacts that require adjustments prior to placement, with an unknown outcome relative to load transfer.\u0000\u0000\u0000PURPOSE\u0000This in vitro simulation study examined the effect of splinting and interproximal contact tightness on passivity of fit and the load transfer characteristics of implant restorations.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000A photoelastic model of a human partially edentulous left mandible with 3 screw-type implants (3.75 x 10 mm) was fabricated. For non-splinted restorations, individual crowns were fabricated on 3 custom-milled titanium abutments. After the units were cemented, 5 levels of interproximal contact tightness were evaluated: open, ideal (8 microm shim stock drags without tearing), light (ideal +10 microm), medium (ideal + 50 microm), and heavy (ideal + 90 microm). For splinted restorations, five 3-unit fixed partial dentures were fabricated, internally adjusted with silicone disclosing material, and cemented to the model. Changes in stress distribution under simulated non-loaded and loaded conditions (6.8 kg) were analyzed with a polariscope.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000In the simulated alveolar structures, non-splinted restorations with heavier interproximal contacts were associated with increased tensile stresses between implants; occlusal loads tended to concentrate around the specific loaded implant. Splinted restorations shared the occlusal loads and distributed the stresses more evenly between the implants when force was applied. The load-sharing effect was most evident on the center implant but also was seen on the terminal abutments of the splinted restorations.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000The results of this in vitro study suggest that excessive contact tightness between individual crowns can lead to a non-passive situation. In this experiment, splinted restorations exhibited better load sharing than non-splinted restorations.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125153354","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}

It is unclear how the fracture strength of zirconia posts with composite or ceramic cores and titanium posts with composite cores compares to the fracture strength of gold posts and cores after dynamic loading.\u0000\u0000\u0000PURPOSE\u0000This study compared the fracture strength of endodontically treated, crowned maxillary incisors with limited ferrule length and different post-and-core systems after fatigue loading.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000Sixty-four caries-free, human maxillary central incisors were divided into 4 groups. After root canal treatment, Group 1 was restored with titanium posts and composite cores, Group 2 with zirconia posts and composite cores, and Group 3 with zirconia posts and heat-pressed ceramic cores. Teeth restored with cast-on gold posts and cores served as the controls (Group 4). Teeth were prepared with a circumferential shoulder including a 1 to 2 mm ferrule; all posts were cemented with an adhesive resin cement, restored with complete-coverage crowns, and exposed to 1.2 million load cycles (30 N) in a computer-controlled chewing simulator. Simultaneous thermocycling between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C was applied for 60 seconds with an intermediate pause of 12 seconds. All specimens that did not fracture during dynamic loading were loaded until fracture in a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1.5 mm/min; loads were applied at an angle of 130 degrees at the incisal edge. Fracture loads (N) and modes (repairable or catastrophic) were recorded. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare fracture loads among the 4 test groups. Analyses were conducted both with and without the specimens that failed during the chewing simulation. A Fisher exact test was performed to detect group differences in fracture modes. A significance level of P<.05 was used for all comparisons.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The following survival rates were recorded after the chewing simulation: 93.8% (Group 1), 93.8% (Group 2), 100% (Group 3), and 87.5% (Group 4). The median fracture strengths for Groups 1 to 4 were 450 N, 503 N, 521 N, and 408 N, respectively. No significant differences were detected among the groups. The use of zirconia posts resulted in a nonsignificant lower number of catastrophic root fractures.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that zirconia posts with ceramic cores can be recommended as an alternative to cast posts and cores. If a chairside procedure is preferred, zirconia or titanium posts with composite cores can be used. Clinical trials are required to verify these in vitro results.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127010469","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}
