Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was\u0000to investigate the efficiency of this novel temporary crown system’s (Hi-tempo) marginal seal and structural\u0000durability in terms of cyclic loading.\u0000Methods: A crown preparation was duplicated in bovine teeth (n =15) using a copy mill machine. The\u0000specimens were divided into three groups and temporary crowns were fabricated that consisted of: control\u0000group, Luxatemp (bis-acrylic), Hi-tempo crown, PLA based and Hi-tempo window type crown, PLA based\u0000with resin cusps. Marginal dimensional change was measured before and after cyclic loading with a 93.36\u0000N force, 0.63 HZ, for 45360 cycles (stimulating 21 days in vivo) in water pigmented with a red dye. The\u0000marginal change was statistically analysed and the surface roughness was analysed using scanning electron\u0000microscopy (SEM).\u0000Results: Statistical significance (p<0.05) was found in the marginal changes of the control versus the Hitempo window and the Hi-tempo groups. SEM analysis revealed that the control crowns, had a much\u0000rougher surface with micro-cracks compared to PLA based crowns which had homogenous surfaces. All\u0000the specimens showed leakage of the red dye into the internal fitting surfaces of the crowns.\u0000Conclusions: The novel system showed promising and comparable results in terms of structural durability\u0000and marginal seal compared to the conventional system.","PeriodicalId":72781,"journal":{"name":"Dental Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46734242","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}
