OBJECTIVES: The marginal adaptation of full coverage restorations is adversely affected by the introduction of luting agents of various minimum film thicknesses during the cementation process. The increase in the marginal opening may have long-term detrimental effects on the health of both pulpal and periodontal tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of varying seating forces (2.5, 12.5, 25 N), venting, and cement types on post-cementation marginal elevation in cast crowns. MATERIALS: A standardized cement space of 40 microns was provided between a machined gold crown and a stainless steel die. An occlusal vent was placed that could be opened or closed. The post-cementation crown elevation was measured, following the use of two commercially available capsulated dental cements (Phosphacap, and Ketac-cem Applicap). RESULTS: The results indicate that only the combination of Ketac-Cem Applicap and crown venting produced post-cementation crown elevation of less than 20 microns when 12.5 N seating force was used. Higher forces (25 N) and venting were required for comparable seating when using Phosphacap (19 microns). CONCLUSIONS: The amount of force required to allow maximum seating of cast crowns appears to be cement specific, and is reduced by effective venting procedures.
Post designs may have a direct effect on fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. This in vitro study compared the resistance of three prefabricated threaded post systems with lateral shearing forces. After endodontics were completed, prefabricated posts were inserted according to the manufacturer's instructions. A silver amalgam core was placed, and extracted human teeth were prepared to a standard size with a 1 mm gingival chamfer finished on sound dentino A cast was fabricated and cemented, and the specimens were thermocycled. The test samples were secured to an Instron testing machine and loaded until failure. Fracture patterns were recorded, fractured surface areas were measured, and compressive stresses were calculated. However, there were no statistically significant differences among threaded posts in each test group.
The effect of dentin bonding agents (DBAs) on contraction gap formation at the cavity floor of resin-cemented ceramic inlays was investigated. Cylindrical dentin cavities were pretreated with one of 12 DBAs before luting of ceramic inlays with a dual-curing resin cement. Measurements of cross sections revealed that mean gap widths were reduced between 21% and 80% compared with control specimens prepared without a DBA. The extent of the gap reduction depended on the type of bonding agent. None of the dentin bonding agents tested were able to completely eliminate development of interfacial gaps.
