Abstract

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.

Wear in retrieved condylar knee arthroplasties. A comparison of wear in different designs of 280 retrieved condylar knee prostheses.

The plastic components of 280 retrieved unicondylar and total knee arthroplasties were studied. Wear was visually scored using a relative ranked data method. Although wear on the components was highly variable, several conclusions could be drawn regarding the nature and causes. Wear was associated more with the medial than the lateral condyle. Delamination was the most severe type of wear and occurred in short (< 5 year)-, medium (5-10 years)-, and long (> 10 years)-term retrievals. In the short term, delamination wear was associated with hot pressing of the tibial plastic or with fracture of the tibial baseplate. For a single design, a significant difference in the amount of delamination on hot-pressed and non-hot-pressed tibial components was observed. In medium- and long-term retrieved specimens of the designs with moderately high conformity, delamination wear was associated with restriction of rotational movement of the femoral component or with abrupt changes in the radius of the tibial component. In flatter, less conforming designs, wear was associated with laxity, such that the polyethylene delaminated toward the edges of the tibial component. Wear attributed to cement abrasion or entrapment occurred on the more conforming designs. Delamination was associated with the presence of fusion defects in the polyethylene but could also occur in the absence of such defects. That delamination was the principal were type and that this is caused by a fatigue mechanism mean that the incidence of failure could accelerate considerably over follow-up periods beyond 10 years. Designs of moderate conformity without abrupt changes in radii may prolong the duration of plastic tibial components before serious delamination occurs.
