Cerec 3.

Abstract

Generally, there are more wishes than technical solutions. In this context, we regard it as one of our primary tasks to constantly respond to your demands and implement them as far as the currently achievable and economically feasible state of the art allows us to. Against this background, we are especially proud of being able to present our new Cerec devices to you following a challenging but successful development and test phase: Cerec 3, the modular CAD/CAM system which flexibly meets the demands of your practice (Fig 1) Cerec Scan, the economy model for working indirectly (Fig 2), and Cerec Link, the connection software that provides all Cerec 2 users with the advantages of the new Cerec 3 software and enables concurrent designing and milling. Cerec 3, Cerec Scan, and Cerec Link now stand next to the Cerec 2, the compact CAD/CIM unit which accompanies many of you in your daily work and makes possible tooth-conserving, biocompatible, natural-looking restorations of long-lasting ceramic materials for a wide spectrum of indications and economic efficiency. The new members of the Cerec product family show significant new developments and many specifics, enabling you to meet many of your individual demands. In addition, they provide the new platform for further developments in the coming years, which we would like to start working on with you right away in the pioneering spirit of progressive dentists.

Characterization of damage modes in dental ceramic bilayer structures.

Results of contact tests using spherical indenters on flat ceramic coating layers bonded to compliant substrates are reported for selected dental ceramics. Critical loads to produce various damage modes, cone cracking, and quasiplasticity at the top surfaces and radial cracking at the lower (inner) surfaces are measured as a function of ceramic-layer thickness. It is proposed that these damage modes, especially radial cracking, are directly relevant to the failure of all-ceramic dental crowns. The critical load data are analyzed with the use of explicit fracture-mechanics relations, expressible in terms of routinely measurable material parameters (elastic modulus, strength, toughness, hardness) and essential geometrical variables (layer thickness, contact radius). The utility of such analyses in the design of ceramic/substrate bilayer systems for optimal resistance to lifetime-threatening damage is discussed.

A modified ceramic sampler and lysimeter design for improved monitoring of soil leachates.

This paper describes the design and use of modified solution samplers and non-weighing lysimeters in a field experiment examining the response of a turf-soil system to landfill leachate irrigation over a 2-year period. The two designs were shown to offer significant performance advantages, were cost effective and overcame many of the reported problems commonly associated with each technique. The quantities of leached chloride detected in the 20%, 50% and undiluted leachate irrigated plots by the modified solution samplers (1,677, 4,319 and 8,021 kg ha(-1), respectively) and microlysimeters (1,759, 4,512 and 8,160 kg ha(-1), respectively) were significantly higher than the conventional sampler design (1,407, 3,767 and 7,052 kg ha(-1), respectively). Additionally, the microlysimeter design functioned reliably throughout the experiment, achieving solution flow rates analogous to the unconfined plots. Therefore, it was concluded that both the designs appear to be suitable for monitoring changes in soil solution composition associated with sub-surface wastewater irrigation.
