Effect of dowel lubrication on resistance to dislodgment of dowels cemented with a 4-META resinous cement.

Dentatus stainless steel dowels were cemented 5 mm into prepared canals of extracted human teeth with C&B Metabond cement. One half the dowels were lubricated before cementation to ensure easy subsequent retrieval. Significantly less tensile force was required to dislodge the lubricated dowels (p = 0.0209). Retrievable lubricated dowels could provide dentists the option of nonsurgical endodontic retreatment in lieu of endodontic surgery. However, lubrication cannot be recommended for clinical use at this time because of the potential for the dowel to unscrew during normal oral function. Further studies are required to determine the effects of rotational forces on the lubricated dowel, surface design of the dowel on retention, and chemical interaction of the lubricant on the resinous cement. Long-term effects of the lubricant on the cement are unknown.

Effect of dowel space preparation and composite cement thickness on retention of a prefabricated dowel.

PURPOSE: This investigation examined what effect cement thickness had on retention of prefabricated endodontic dowels luted with a composite resin cement (Panavia 21 OP; J Morita, Irvine, CA) into canals previously obturated with gutta percha and a eugenol-based sealer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-four single-rooted teeth were decoronated, filed, cleaned, and sequentially shaped with sizes 2-5 Gates Glidden drills (Dentsply/Maillefer, Tulsa, OK) and 0.12 taper rotary instrumentation. Teeth were then divided into 4 groups of 16 specimens each. All specimens were obturated with gutta percha and a eugenol-based sealer. Dowel space preparation and dowel cementation were completed 1 week after obturation. Ten-millimeter-deep dowel spaces were prepared using dowel drills with 4 different diameters: size 5 Parapost drill (Group 1; Coltene/Whaledent, Mahwah, NJ); size 5.5 Parapost drill (Group 2; Coltene/Whaledent); size 6 Gates Glidden drill (Group 3; Dentsply/Maillefer); size 6 Parapost drill (Group 4; Coltene/Whaledent). Size 5 Paraposts were then cemented with Panavia 21 OP. After 48 hours of storage, specimens were mounted in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe with acrylic, and the dowels were removed in tensile mode using a universal testing machine at 1 mm/min, with data recorded in kilograms. RESULTS: (all values in kilograms) Group 1 (Parapost 5) mean = 15.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) = +/-6.11; Group 2 (Parapost 5.5) mean = 25.60, 95% CI = +/-7.39; Group 3 (Gates-Glidden 6) mean = 43.15, 95% CI = +/-7.81; Group 4 (Parapost 6) mean = 37.75, 95% CI = +/-6.35. Analysis of variance and Bonferroni tests revealed that Group 3 had significantly greater mean retention strength values than Group 1 and Group 2 (p <.05), and that Group 4 had significantly greater mean retention strength values than Group 1 (p <.05). CONCLUSIONS: Paraposts cemented with Panavia 21 OP showed significantly greater retention in oversized dowel spaces compared with dowel spaces prepared with the manufacturers' matched dowel-drill set.

Retention of luting agents on implant abutments of different height and taper.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retention of four cements used to lute metal restorations onto computer designed and manufactured titanium implant abutments of different heights and convergence angles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Test specimens consisted of metal coping cemented on Procera titanium abutments of 5, 7, and 9 mm of height, and of 0 degrees , 4 degrees , and 8 degrees of convergence angle. The cements used were zinc-phosphate, zinc oxide-eugenole, polyurethane resin with and without vaseline. The samples were tested in a universal testing machine. The mean uniaxial load at point of separation was determined. The results were statistically evaluated with ANOVA. RESULTS: The luting agent, the height, and the taper influence the retention of metal casting on customized CAD-CAM implant abutments. CONCLUSION: The most retentive cement was zinc-phosphate, followed by polyurethane, polyurethane plus vaseline, and zinc oxide-eugenol.

[Fabian's spiral endoprostatic prosthesis].

This involves a supple metal prosthesis placed in the posterior urethra to relieve cervico-prostatic obstruction whilst allowing for normal function of the striate sphincter as well as satisfactory bladder drainage with normal continence. Easily inserted under local anesthesia and without morbidity, with a perfect functional result in the great majority of cases provided indications are complied with, i.e. essentially prostatic hypertrophy with retention. This prosthesis is designed for use in patients with temporary or permanent contraindications to surgery. Compliance with the very precise technique for insertion, under optical and televisual control, as well as with surgical contraindications (neurological bladder, cerebral arterial sclerosis, concomitant bladder lesion), ensures a good result. This prosthesis thus avoids the need for an indwelling catheter.

Crown retention with use of different sealing systems on prepared dentine.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate crown retention after using different sealing systems on prepared dentine. Ca(OH)2 suspension was used in comparison with three adhesive bonding systems (Gluma Desensitizer, Optibond FL, Prompt L-Pop). Extracted human premolars were uniformly prepared with the use of a special parallelometer (11 degrees taper, 4 mm axial length). Groups of 20 teeth each were treated with each sealing system. Then crowns were fabricated and temporarily cemented twice. Finally the abutments were cleaned and the crowns were cemented with a glass-ionomer cement Ketac-Cem. Subgroups of 10 crowns were removed with a universal testing machine following storage in distilled water either for 3 days or for 150 days. Prior to dislodging, the crowns of both groups were subjected to chewing simulation. The mean dislodgement stresses in MPa were between 4.9 and 6.9. A range test of Student-Newmann-Keuls revealed significant differences between Ca(OH)2 and Optibond FL (P < 0.05), while the storage time had no significant effect. The level of microleakage increased significantly with storage time (P < 0.05). It is concluded, that the use of Gluma Desensitizer and Prompt L-Pop did not affect crown retention as compared with Ca(OH)2, thus may be used in combination with glass-ionomer cement to desensitize prepared teeth.

Retentive properties of five different luting cements on base and noble metal copings.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The retention of indirectly fabricated restorations can be compromised by short or over-tapered tooth preparations. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the retentive properties of 5 different luting cements on base and noble metal copings to short and over-tapered preparations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighty extracted mandibular premolars were prepared to receive full cast copings with a flat occlusal surface, 33 degrees taper, and 3-mm axial length. Half of the standardized metal copings were cast in an AuAgPd alloy, whereas the other half were cast in an NiCr alloy. Cementation was performed with 5 different luting cements through use of 5 kg of pressure in 90% relative humidity. Specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 degrees C for 24 hours and thermocycled between 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 5000 cycles, with a dwell time of 30 seconds. After thermocycling, vertical tensile force was applied in a Zwick universal testing machine with a constant speed of 1 mm/min until separation was noted. A 2-factor analysis of variance was used to analyze the data, with a significance level of alpha =.05. RESULTS: Mean dislodgement forces for AuAgPd crowns and NiCr crowns were 120.88 N and 143.09 N, respectively, for zinc phosphate cement; 135.45 N and 150.38 N for Principle; 145.88 N and 220.71 N for Meron; 276.85 N and 225.61 N for Avanto; and 300.92 N and 381.02 N for Fuji Plus. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, Fuji Plus and Avanto showed significantly higher retentive strengths for AuAgPd copings in comparison to the other cements tested (P <.05). The retentive strength of Fuji Plus was significantly higher than those of the other cements tested with NiCr copings (P <.05).

Influence of timing of coronal preparation on retention of cemented cast posts and cores.

PURPOSE: This study investigated the effect of coronal preparation by high-speed handpiece on the retention of cemented cast posts and cores. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cast posts and cores were fabricated for 90 extracted single-rooted human teeth cemented with zinc-phosphate cement and randomly divided into six groups of 15 specimens each. The six groups were matched randomly two by two, such that one of each of the matched groups was subjected to a 4-minute period of high-speed preparation of the cores. Castings from the first pair (1 and 2) were subjected to an axially directed removal force using a universal testing machine 15 minutes from the start of cement mixing; castings from the second (3 and 4) and third (5 and 6) pairs were tested at 1 hour and 24 hours, respectively, having been stored in water at 37 degrees C for the waiting periods. The forces required for dislodgment of posts from their prepared spaces were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed using two- and one-way ANOVA and the Student's t test. RESULTS: The results showed increased mean retentive strengths of posts as the time to testing increased for both unprepared and prepared groups. Significantly higher mean retentive strengths of posts were recorded for unprepared compared to prepared groups tested at 15 minutes and 1 hour after cementation. CONCLUSION: High-speed preparation had a significant negative effect on the retentive strengths of posts tested at 15 minutes and 1 hour after cementation, but not on those tested at 24 hours.

Clinical evaluation of pulpless teeth restored with conventionally cemented zirconia posts: a pilot study.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Adhesive resin cements are commonly used to lute all-ceramic posts despite limited scientific data on the clinical effectiveness of using bonding agents within prepared root canals. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical performance of conventionally cemented zirconia posts. Loss of retention, fracture of posts, and fracture of teeth were evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty pulpless teeth in 22 patients were treated with zirconia posts. With the exception of 3 situations in which posts were inserted directly and the access openings were closed with composite resin, teeth were restored with indirectly fabricated post-and-core foundations made from zirconia posts (Cerapost or Cosmopost) combined with heat-pressed ceramic cores (IPS Empress Cosmo) and ceramic crowns (IPS Empress II). Restorations (posts and crowns) were cemented with glass-ionomer cement (KetacCem) or resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (ProTec Cem) and reevaluated, retrospectively, for failures such as loss of retention or fractures. Data were reported using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The mean observation period was 29 months (range 8-44 months). No loss of retention or fracture of any restoration was observed. CONCLUSION: Although this study involved a relatively short observation period, there were no signs of failure of conventionally cemented zirconia posts with ceramic crowns.

Evaluation of retention of post-core system cemented with different materials on dentine surfaces treated with EDTA or Er:YAG laser irradiation.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the post-core system retention to dentine surfaces treated with EDTA and Er:YAG laser irradiation and cemented with resin or a tradiational zinc phosphate cement. BACKGROUND DATA: One of the factors related to intracanal post-retention is the root canal wall preparation. METHODS: Forty-eight samples were divided into three groups: (1) G1 (control), dentine surfaces with no treatment, irrigated with distilled and deionized water; (2) G2, 1% NaCIO + 17% EDTA; and (3) G3, water and Er:YAG laser (8 Hz, 200 mJ, 60 J, 300 pulses). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups depending on the cement used: Panavia F or zinc phosphate. All specimens were submitted to tensile load in the Universal Instron Machine (Instron 4444) at 0.5 mm/min. RESULTS: Data were analyzed statistically with ANOVA and Tukey's test, which showed no significant difference (p > 0.01) between the dentine wall treatments performed with 1% NaCIO + 17% EDTA (6.80 Mpa) and water + Er:YAG laser (6.81 MPa), independent of the cement used; however, these were statistically different (p < 0.01) from the control group that presented the lowest values (4.82 MPa). Cementing with Panavia F and zinc phosphate presented similar results for adhesive resistance (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: We conclude that the previous treatment of dentine walls with 1% NaCIO + 17% EDTA, or Er:YAG laser + water favored retention of the post-core system cemented with both resin and zinc phosphate cement.

Enhanced post crown retention in resin composite-reinforced, compromised, root-filled teeth: a case report.

The introduction of an intraradicular composite reinforcing technique, in conjunction with the reestablishment of matching post canal spaces, has allowed compromised, root-filled teeth to be restored with functional, esthetic post crowns. This clinical case report suggests that reconstituted post canals, in accurately adapting to passive, parallel-sided, matching, and well-fitting posts, can enhance the retention of post crowns. Other factors of clinical importance relating to the resin-reinforced technique are discussed, including fracture resistance, depth of polymerization, dentin adhesion, polymerization shrinkage, and coronal microleakage.

Fatigue resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with three dowel-and-core systems.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The successful restoration of endodontically treated teeth is enhanced by a crown design employing the ferrule effect. However, it is unclear which dowel-and-core system most effectively supports successful treatment. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the load fatigue resistance of 3 dowel-and-core systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifteen endodontically treated maxillary central incisors were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at a point 1.5 mm incisal to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). At the level of the CEJ, specimens were then prepared for crowns with 1-mm complete shoulder finish lines and 1.5 mm of axial wall height. The prepared teeth were divided into 3 groups (n=5) and restored with 1 of the following dowel-and-core combinations: Group CG, cast gold dowels and cores; Group TA, titanium alloy dowels (ParaPost XH) with composite cores; or Group FR, fiber-reinforced resin dowels (ParaPost FiberWhite) with composite cores. A dentin bonding agent (OptiBond Solo) was placed prior to the composite cores. Dowel-and-core castings and titanium alloy dowels were cemented with zinc phosphate cement. The fiber-reinforced dowels were cemented with a resin cement (ParaPost Cement). The crowns for all specimens were cast with an incisal notch for applying the fatigue load. The independent variable measured was the number of load fatigue cycles required to cause luting cement failure. The data were subjected to 1-way analysis of variance and the Student-Newman-Keuls test for 3 subsets (alpha=.05). RESULTS: The mean value+/-standard deviation for the cycles to failure for each group was: Group CG: 11,897+/-4080 load cycles, Group TA: 24,384+/-8231 load cycles, and Group FR: 50,696+/-7063 load cycles. Significant differences were found between all groups ( P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Fiber-reinforced resin dowels and bonded composite cores under fatigue loading provided significantly stronger crown retention than cast gold dowels and cores and titanium alloy dowels with composite cores under fatigue loading.

Retention of zirconium oxide ceramic crowns with three types of cement.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Information about the retentive strength of luting agents for zirconium oxide-based crowns is limited. It is unknown if this type of high-strength ceramic restoration requires adhesive cementation to enhance retention. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the ability of selected luting agents to retain a representative zirconium oxide ceramic crown under clinically simulated conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Recently extracted human molars were prepared with a flat occlusal surface, 20-degree taper, and approximately 4-mm axial length. The axial and occlusal surface areas were determined, and specimens were distributed equally by total surface area into 3 cementation groups (n=12). Zirconium oxide ceramic copings (Procera AllZirkon) with an occlusal bar to facilitate removal were fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. All copings were airborne-particle abraded with 50-mum Al(2)O(3) and then cleaned in an ultrasonic bath with isopropyl alcohol. Provisional cement was removed from the prepared teeth, followed by a pumice prophy. After trial insertion, the copings were cleaned with phosphoric acid, rinsed, dried, and dehydrated with isopropyl alcohol. They were then cemented with a seating force of 10 kg per tooth, using either a composite resin cement with adhesive agent (Panavia F 2.0 and ED Primer A & B [PAN]), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Rely X Luting [RXL]), or a self-adhesive modified composite resin (Rely X Unicem [RXU]). The cemented copings were thermal cycled at 5 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 5000 cycles with a 15 second dwell time, and then removed along the path of insertion using a universal testing machine at 0.5 mm/min. The removal force was recorded, and the stress of dislodgement was calculated using the surface area of each preparation. A 1-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data (alpha=.05). The nature of failure was also recorded. RESULTS: Mean dislodgement stresses were 5.1, 6.1, and 5.0 MPa for PAN, RXL, and RXU, respectively. The 1-way analysis of variance revealed no differences in mean crown removal stress among the 3 cementation groups. The predominant mode of failure was cement remaining principally on the zirconium oxide copings in 46% of the specimens, followed by cement found on the tooth in 25.7% of the specimens. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, the 3 luting agents, with mean removal stresses ranging from 5.0 to 6.1 MPa were not significantly different. The use of a composite resin cement with a bonding agent did not yield higher coping retention compared to the other 2 cements tested.

Crown retention with use of a 5% glutaraldehyde sealer on prepared dentin.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A previous study showed that a resin sealer decreased casting retention with zinc phosphate cement. PURPOSE: This study determined whether a nonresin sealer applied to prepared dentin affected the retention of cemented castings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Extracted molars were prepared with a flat occlusal, 20-degree taper and 4 mm axial length. The axial surface area of each preparation was determined and samples were distributed to achieve equivalent groups. Gluma Desensitizer sealer was used to seal the dentin before provisionalization and again before crown cementation. An Olympia alloy casting was produced for each preparation and cemented with a seating force of 20 Kg with either Mizzy's zinc phosphate, Ketac-Cem glass ionomer, or Resinomer material in combination with One Step adhesive. Castings were thermocycled, then removed along the path of insertion with an Instron testing machine. A two-factor analysis of variance was used with alpha = 0.05 and n = 9.10. RESULTS: Mean dislodgment stresses for unsealed and sealed conditions were 6.3 and 6.4 MPa for zinc phosphate, 9.1 and 10.1 MPa for glass ionomer, and 12.1 and 12.6 MPa for the resin cement. The means for the three cements were statistically different (p < 0.001). The effect of sealer (p = 0.369) and cross product interactions (p = 0.820) were not significant. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the glutaraldehyde-based system as a desensitizing treatment for prepared teeth had no effect on crown retention for any of the three cements evaluated and the modified resin cement produced the highest mean dislodgment stress that exceeded the strength of the tooth.

Retentive strengths of cast gold crowns using glass ionomer, compomer, or resin cement.

PURPOSE: The retention forces of a newly developed compomer cement (Dyract Cem), a glass ionomer cement (Ketac Cem Aplicap), and a resin cement (F21) were examined. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cemented cast gold crowns were removed along the path of insertion with a Zwick universal testing device. The impact of both a cured and a noncured additional bonding layer that were applied to the inner surface of the crowns was examined across the Dyract Cem group. RESULTS: The mean adhesive strength was measured at 2.36 +/- 0.69 N/mm2 in the Ketac Cem group, at 0.60 +/- 0.28 N/mm2 in the F21 group, and at 1.85 +/- 0.94 N/mm2 in the Dyract Cem group, respectively. The application of an additional bonding layer to the inner surface of the crowns did not significantly improve the retentive strength of Dyract Cem; the respective mean strengths were observed at 1.46 +/-0.33 N/mm2 for the uncured and at 1.70 +/- 0.76 N/mm2 for the cured bonding layers. CONCLUSIONS: Dyract Cem and Ketac Cem showed significantly higher retentive strengths than F21 (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test, 5% level). No significant difference was found in bond strength between Ketac Cem and Dyract Cem.

Comparison of the retentive properties of six prefabricated post overdenture attachment systems.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: There are few research studies concerning prefabricated posts overdenture attachment systems using multiple pull cycles. PURPOSE: This study tested 6 prefabricated post overdenture attachment systems (AccessPost Overdenture, ERA white and ERA grey, Flexi-Overdenture, O-SO and ZAAG) measured to simulate wear over a 2000 pull cycle and compared the in vitro retention, measured (pounds). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Records of the pounds of force necessary to separate each system were made at the beginning of testing, at pull 10 and then at every 50th pull until the 2000th pull was attained. All pulls were performed manually with a Shimpo force gauge. Absolute force (AF) and relative force (RF) were compared, AF being the force required at any pull to separate the overdenture device, whereas RF is the force required at the first pull. RESULTS: There was considerable difference of the force required at pull 1 for the ERA white, O-SO and ZAAG anchor systems, then the AccessPost overdenture, and finally the Flexi-Overdenture and ERA grey attachment systems. CONCLUSION: At pull 2000, there was no statistical difference between any of the attachments studied. The amount of force necessary to offer functional retention to a specific patient wearing an overdenture may vary considerably, depending on the many factors in fabricating the overdenture, and the age, strength, musculature, and the expectations of the patient.

Comparative evaluation of effect of auxiliary retentive features on retention of complete cast crowns in teeth with adequate and inadequate crown height. An invitro study.

This study was done to evaluate the retention of complete cast crowns in teeth with adequate and inadequate crown height and to evaluate the effects of auxiliary retentive features on retention from of complete cast crowns. Thirty-six extracted human maxillary first premolars were obtained. In one group teeth were prepared to a constant height of 3.5 mm and in the second group teeth were prepared to a constant height of 2.5 mm. Each group was further subgrouped into three. In the first subgroup teeth were prepared conventionally, second subgroup proximal grooves were incorporated and in the third subgroup proximal boxes were incorporated. Tensional forces required to dislodge each cemented casting from its preparation was used for comparison of retention quality. These results were then subjected to an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The retention of crown in tooth with adequate crown height were statistically highly significant (P < 0001), compared to inadequate crown height and in boxes compared to grooves and conventional preparation.
