J Indian Prosthodont Soc 2022; 22:377-381. [PMID: 36511072 PMCID: PMC9709862 DOI: 10.4103/jips.jips_8_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to assess surface roughness and marginal adaptation of Stereolithographic versus Digital Light Processed three-dimensional (3D) printed provisional resins. Materials and Methods A 3-unit fixed partial denture (FPD) preparation was done on ideal model irrespective to 44-46. The Model was scanned and a 3-unit FPD was designed using 3-shape software. The STL file was transferred to two different 3D printers - Sprintray digital light processing (DLP) and Formlabs stereolithography (SLA). Eight samples were printed per group (total of 16 samples) using C and B temporary tooth-colored resin and cured according to the manufacturer's instructions. Marginal adaptation was checked for six surfaces per tooth for all the samples using a stereomicroscope. Surface roughness was also calculated for four samples from each group before and after polishing (pumice slurry + rouge and cotton buff) using a contact profilometer. Results The mean maximum marginal gap overall, was seen for the DLP group on the mesiobuccal surface of the first premolar, i.e., 178.8 ± 8.35 μm, while the minimal marginal gap was seen for the SLA group on the mesiolingual surface of first molar - 32.5 ± 7.07 μm. Furthermore, all the DLP samples showed a statistically significant higher mean marginal gap as compared to SLA samples (P < 0.005). All the samples showed surface roughness within the acceptable range. There was a statistically significant difference noted in Rz (roughness depth) before and after polishing (P < 0.05). Conclusion 3D printed temporary resin FPD via SLA showed a much better marginal adaptation (49.6 μm mean marginal gap for 46 and 106.8 μm for 44) as compared to those printed via DLP (101.8 μm mean marginal gap for 46 and 157.5 μm for 44). All the samples showed an acceptable surface roughness. Clinical Relevance 3D printed temporaries have shown good marginal fit and adaptation and are a viable choice in patients where temporaries has to be given for long term before a final prosthesis can be fabricated (especially for full mouth rehabilitations).

Abstract
AIM The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the milling mode and margin defining method on the marginal and internal adaptation of digitally designed and fabricated ceramic veneers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty extracted central incisors were prepared for ceramic veneers. The veneers were categorized into four groups (n = 10) based on the milling mode (fine or extra-fine) and design (automatic or manual defining of cervical and incisal margins). The veneers were cemented to the teeth using resin cement and then polished. After cementation, the teeth were embedded in clear polyester resin, then cut into three sections. Absolute marginal gap at the cervical margins (AMGC), marginal gap at the incisal (MGI) and cervical (MGC) margins, and internal gap (IG) at the axial wall were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t tests were used (α = 0.05) for the statistical analysis. RESULTS The margin defining method affected the adaptation of the internal and incisal margin; the automatic (software) margin defining method resulted in a smaller MGI (P = 0.038) and IG (P = 0.009) than the manual defining method. CONCLUSION The type of milling mode did not affect the marginal gap. The margin defining method affected the marginal gap at the incisal margin and the internal gaps.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the fit and trueness of temporary crowns fabricated with 3D printing vs milling technologies and to analyze any existing correlations between fit and trueness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Marginal and internal fit and trueness were evaluated. Groups were compared using Kruskal-Wallis H test (α = .05), and correlations were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis (α = .0016). RESULTS Intaglio surface trueness was partially correlated with the marginal and internal fit (P < .0016). CONCLUSION High intaglio surface trueness in the axial and occlusal regions may result in poor marginal fit. In the axial region, high intaglio surface trueness may adversely affect both the marginal and internal fit.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of flexible models on the marginal adaptation of indirect resin composite restorations. Thirty-six cavity preparations were made for class II restorations in permanent molar teeth. Three groups (n=12) were defined following three impressions/model material combinations: G(STONE), polyvinylsiloxane, and type IV stone model, as a control group; G(IMPRESSIONPVS), alginate and flexible polyvinylsiloxane; G(MODELPVS), alginate and flexible polyvinylsiloxane for models. All restorations were positioned on their respective teeth and evaluated by micro-computed tomography. Absolute marginal discrepancies were measured digitally (ImageJ). The results were compared using one-way ANOVA (p⟨ 0.05). The mean ± SD absolute marginal discrepancy of indirect resin composite restorations made from flexible and rigid stone models was as follows: G(STONE), 206 (±79.95) μm; G(IMPRESSIONPVS), 221.50 (±61.73) μm; G(MODELPVS), 203.25 (±65.93) μm. Absolute marginal discrepancies were not significantly influenced by the flexible and rigid stone models (p=0.78). The flexible or rigid stone model did not influence the marginal adaptation of the indirect resin composite restorations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the 24-month clinical performance of a "no wait" universal adhesive with different application modes in comparison with an etch-and-rinsew and two-step self-etch adhesive in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 234 non-carious cervical lesions in 34 patients were restored following 5 different adhesive approaches: 1. Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, self-etch mode (CUQ-SE); 2. Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, selective etch mode (CUQ-SLE); 3. Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, etch-and-rinse mode (CUQ-ER); 4. Clearfil SE Bond (self-etch adhesive) (CSEB); 5. Tetric N-Bond Universal, etch-and-rinse mode (TBU-ER). All NCCLs were restored with a nanohybrid composite (Tetric N-Ceram). The restorations were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, and 24months of clinical service regarding retention, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, secondary caries, post-operative sensitivity, color match, surface texture using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. RESULTS The patient recall rate at 24 months was 73.5%. Eleven restorations, 6 of the CUQ-SE group, 4 of the CSEB group and 1 of the TBU-ER group, were clinically unacceptable due to retention loss. Regarding marginal adaptation and discoloration, CUQ-SE and CSEB groups exhibited higher bravo scores than other groups after 24 months (p < 0.05). At the end of 24-month examinations, no significant differences were detected among the groups regarding secondary caries, post-operative sensitivity, color match and surface texture. CONCLUSION The clinical survival rates of the "no wait" universal adhesive at self-etch mode after 24 months were not acceptable. The "no wait" universal adhesive showed clinically acceptable performance in selective-etch and etch-and-rinse mode according to the evaluated USPHS criteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate and compare the performances of three different universal adhesives used with a highly filled flowable universal resin composite in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) over a 60-month period. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-nine NCCLs were restored at 18 participants. NCCLs were divided into three different universal adhesive groups: Clearfil Universal Bond (CU) (n = 31), iBOND Universal (IU) (n = 33), and G-Premio Bond (GP) (n = 35). Prior to the adhesive procedures, selective enamel etching was performed with 37% phosphoric acid in all experimental groups. Adhesive systems were applied following the manufacturers' instructions, and the lesions were restored with a highly filled flowable resin composite (G-ænial Universal Flo). Restorations were finished and polished immediately after placement. All restorations were scored with regard to retention, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, sensitivity, surface texture, and color match using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria after 1 week (baseline) and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 60 months. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square and McNemar's and Kaplan Meier tests. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS After 60 months, the recall rate was 72.2%. Survival rates of CU, IU, and GP restorations were 87%, 85.2%, and 96.5%, respectively. Five CU (25%), 8 IU (34.8%), and 12 GP (42.9%) restorations exhibit bravo scores for marginal adaptation. However, no differences were seen among them. CU showed lower bravo score than IU and GP for marginal discoloration (CU, 0%; IU, 26.1%; GP, 32.1%). Two CU, 7 IU, and 6 GP restorations showed bravo scores for surface texture, and 2 (9.1%) CU and 1 (3.3%) GP restorations were scored as bravo score for color match (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The tested universal adhesives showed similar success rates during the 60-month follow-up. However, CU showed better clinical performance than IU and GP in terms of marginal adaptation and discoloration. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03415412 CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The long-term clinical performances of the three universal adhesives in the restoration of NCCLs using selective enamel etching mode were successful after 60 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has revolutionised dentistry at present. An operator's skills can affect the overall clinical duration and marginal accuracy of the prosthesis fabricated through this workflow. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of CAD/CAM hands-on training compared with that of a self-instructional video on the performance of dental students in digital impression and fabrication of a CAD/CAM crown. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 30 undergraduate dental students were shown a CEREC demonstration video. Each operator then captured a digital impression using the intra-oral scanner, and a crown was subsequently milled. All participants underwent a training course before repeating the process. Marginal discrepancy for each crown on its abutment tooth was measured before and after training using a stereomicroscope and was evaluated using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The duration taken for the process was recorded before and after training and evaluated using paired t-test. RESULTS The overall mean ±standard deviation marginal adaptation for the CEREC crowns was 78.15 ± 42.83 μm before training and 52.41 ± 17.12 μm after training. The Wilcoxon signed rank test found significant difference (p < .05) in terms of marginal adaptation of crowns fabricated before and after training. Paired t-tests showed that the time efficiency after training significantly improved compared with that before training. CONCLUSIONS Training with guided feedback is crucial to improve the time efficiency of making a digital impression and marginal adaptation of fixed prosthesis using the CAD/CAM technology.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of digital impressions made by 3rd and 4th year dental students using a retrospective record review at one USA dental school during a 1-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS After reviewing patient records related to quality assurance, 125 digital impressions and the produced restorations were evaluated. Effectiveness and acceptability of digital impressions and restorations were associated with students' educational level, number of prepared teeth scanned, type of produced restoration, and restorative material used. Fisher's exact and chi-square tests were used for the statistical analysis. All dental students had previous experience of the digital curriculum in their preclinical education. RESULTS A total of 91% of the digital impressions were acceptable, and 80% of the produced restorations had clinically acceptable margins. Impression approval and restoration acceptance were not affected by students' educational level, number of preparations or restoration type. Restoration acceptance was significantly affected by restorative material (P = 0.039), with higher rates of acceptable marginal integrity found with glass-ceramic and zirconia materials. CONCLUSIONS Within the parameters of the present study, 3rd and 4th year dental students, after having extensive education in the preclinical curriculum, can utilize digital impressions effectively for clinical practice. The results show that with adequate educational experiences, dental students can use digital impressions effectively for clinically acceptable restorations. Dental schools can and should educate students in digital dentistry.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare frameworks manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) with frameworks manufactured by milling, regarding dimensional precision after veneer layering and spark erosion for the all-on-six implant concept. MATERIALS AND METHODS Frameworks (n = 5/group) were manufactured by milling, SLM, and EBM. Dimensional precision of the frameworks was evaluated by marginal fit, screw loosening torque, and strain. Marginal fit was assessed by the single screw protocol. The screw-loosening torque was measured for the evaluation of screw stability. Tension distribution was analyzed with strain gauges. All frameworks received veneer layering followed by the marginal fit, screw-loosening torque, and strain gauge tests. Subsequently, the frameworks were subjected to the spark erosion process. The analyses were repeated after each stage (baseline, veneer layering, and spark erosion). Data was explored by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Bonferroni test (α = .05). RESULTS At baseline, the highest (worst) marginal fit values were displayed by SLM frameworks (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 186.13 ± 21.27 μm), while the milling group (83.30 ± 12.03 μm) showed the lowest (best) values (P < .05). After veneer layering, EBM presented the worst marginal fit values (222.55 ± 52.56 μm; P < .05) among the groups. Over time (from the baseline to veneer layering), the marginal fit values increased (became worse) for milling (P = .002) and EBM (P < .001), while for SLM (P = .002) the values decreased (improved). Compared with veneer layering data, spark erosion improved the marginal fit values only for EBM (P = .005). Irrespective of time, the screw-loosening torque for the milling group showed higher values. The lowest strain was found for the SLM at baseline (P < .05), but it increased after veneer layering (P = .015) and after spark erosion (P = .028). CONCLUSION Additive technologies are promising for dental applications. In addition, all technologies demonstrated accuracy in the manufacturing of implant-supported frameworks, especially the EBM technology, which demonstrated biomechanical behavior similar to the milling technology after the intervals (baseline, veneer layering, and spark erosion) assessed in the study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate marginal integrity of restorations applied with preheated and non-preheated composite, flowable composite, sonically activated composite, and a new thermo-viscous bulk-fill composite using near-infrared technology for preheating, in class V cavities of human molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of 60 human mandibular molars and restored with one of the following resin composite materials after application of an etch-and-rinse adhesive (OptiBond FL, Kerr): non-preheated or preheated conventional composite (Filtek Supreme XTE, 3M Oral Care), preheated thermo-viscous composite (VisCalor bulk, Voco), soncially activated composite (SonicFill 3, Kerr), or flowable composite (Filtek Supreme XTE Flowable, 3M Oral Care) applied in bulk or as a lining material using the snow-plow technique. After light curing and polishing, the percentage of continuous margins (PCM) of the restorations in enamel and dentin was assessed using SEM both before and after thermomechanical loading (TML). TML was carried out with 3000 thermal cycles (5°C-50°C) and a simultaneous mechanical stress application with 1.2 million load-cycles (1.7 Hz, 49 N) in a computer-controlled masticator. Non-parametric statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U-tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS All groups revealed a significant decline in marginal integrity after TML in both enamel and dentin. Although the flowable group in enamel and the snow-plow group in dentin showed the highest PCM before TML, the differences between the groups were compensated after TML. CONCLUSION All of the tested composites and application methods showed similar marginal integrities after thermomechanical loading and can be recommended for clinical implementation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Internal and marginal fit accuracy of an implant-supported fixed partial denture (I-FPD) along with passive fit are required for long-term clinical success. This study compared the fit accuracy of three-unit CAD/CAM-fabricated cementretained I-FPDs milled from pre-sintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) and zirconia (Zr) and evaluated the effect of applying porcelain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two implant analogs were positioned parallel at first premolar and first molar sites in an acrylic model. Their corresponding abutments were tightened with 25-Ncm torque force. Four groups were designed: two groups of I-FPD frameworks with pre-sintered Zr (ZrF) and soft millable Co-Cr alloy (SF) blocks, and two groups by applying porcelain to the Co-Cr (SP) and Zr (ZrP) frameworks (n = 4 in each group). Absolute marginal gap (AMG), marginal gap (MG), and internal discrepancies were measured. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Levene, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Scheffe tests were used for statistical analysis using SPSS software version 22 at a significance level of .05. RESULTS All measured criteria were significantly different from each other (all P values < .001). The rankings from the lowest gap to the highest gap for the main criteria were as follows: MG: SF < SP < ZrF < ZrP; AMG and internal discrepancies: SF < SP < ZrP < ZrF. Comparing molars and premolars, molars had smaller MGs, larger internal discrepancies, and smaller AMG in ZrP but larger AMG in SP. CONCLUSION All three-unit CAD/CAM-fabricated cement-retained I-FPDs were in the clinically acceptable range of fit accuracy. The lowest and highest misfit values were observed in the SF and ZrF groups, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare a self-etch and a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive in terms of internal and marginal composite-tooth bond failure separately on enamel and dentin/cement at 36-48 months after restoration placement using optical coherence tomography (OCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients with two or three class V composite restorations of noncarious cervical lesions 36-48 months after placement were included. The one-step self-etch adhesive Futurabond M ([Voco] group SE, n = 25) and the two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive Solobond M ([Voco] group ER, n = 20) combined with the nanohybrid composite Amaris (Voco) were evaluated. The four-step etch-and-rinse adhesive Syntac classic combined with Tetric EvoCeram (Ivoclar Vivadent) served as the control (n = 18). Spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT, 1310-nm center wavelength) was applied. Marginal gaps and internal interfacial adhesive defects were quantified in cross-sectional OCT images. Groups were statistically compared using the Friedman/Wilcoxon test (α = 0.05). RESULTS In enamel, nonsignificantly different percentages of marginal gap formation and internal interfacial adhesive defects were found between the groups (pi ≥ 0.258). In dentin/cement, SE showed significantly less marginal gap formation compared to ER (p < 0.001) and control (p = 0.001), and at the internal dentin-composite interface less adhesive defects were found compared to ER (p < 0.001) and control (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION The self-etch adhesive used in the current study appears recommendable for restoration of noncarious cervical lesions with composite.

Abstract
This laboratory study was designed to evaluate the marginal adaptation of Class II mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) restorations at the cervical region with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Two groups of restorations were compared: 1) those that had been exposed to radiotherapy before restoration was performed using a universal adhesive in etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes; and 2) those that had previously been restored using a universal adhesive in etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes and had subsequently undergone radiotherapy. Sixty intact human molars were randomly divided into groups according to irradiation status: no radiotherapy (control group); radiotherapy followed by restoration (radiotherapy-first group); and restoration followed by radiotherapy (restoration-first group). These three groups were then subdivided into two groups each on the basis of adhesive application type (etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes), for a total of six groups (n=10/group). Standardized Class II MOD cavities were prepared. A universal adhesive (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, Kuraray, Okayama, Japan) was applied. The teeth were restored with resin composite (Estelite Posterior Quick, Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan). The radiotherapy protocol was conducted with 60 gray (Gy) at 2 Gy/day, five days a week for six weeks. Adhesive defects were analyzed in distal and mesial views and evaluated with micro-CT (SkyScan 1174v2, Kontich, Antwerp, Belgium) on the basis of the volume of black spaces between the cavity walls and the restorative materials (mm3). The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests (p<0.05). The radiotherapy protocol did not affect the marginal adaptation of the universal adhesive at the cervical regions. Regarding the application modes, for the radiotherapy-first group, the self-etch mode caused significantly higher adhesive defects than the etch-and-rinse mode at the dentin margin. For the no-radiotherapy group, the adhesive defects at the dentin margin were significantly higher than at the enamel margin with the application of the etch-and-rinse mode.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of preheating resin composites (RCs) on the clinical performance of class I restorations during a 36-month period using a split-mouth, double-blinded randomized design. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 35 patients were selected. Every patient received one pair of class I nanofilled resin composite (RC, Filtek Z350 XT) posterior restorations (n=70). One side of the mouth received preheated composites; on the other side, the composite was placed in a nonheated state following the manufacturer's instructions. These restorations were evaluated at 1-week (baseline), 12-months, 24-months, and 36-months using the FDI World Dental Federation criteria. The statistical analyses were also performed using the Wilcoxon and Friedman tests with the level of significance set at 0.05. RESULTS After 36 months, 33 patients attended the recall visits, and 66 restorations were evaluated. The Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests revealed insignificant differences between both groups (p>0.05) for all FDI parameters. However, a significant difference was detected for staining as a criterion at 36 months (p=0.01). Moreover, a significant difference in the staining was detected when the baseline and 36 months were compared in the nonheated RC group (p=0.001). For esthetic, functional, and biological properties, the nonheated composite exhibited 93.9%, 100%, and 100% of the clinically accepted scores, respectively, and the preheated group presented 100% for all properties. Four restorations had postoperative sensitivity at baseline for nonheated (11.4%) and five for preheated (14.2%), but the postoperative sensitivity scores were considered highly acceptable at 12-, 24-, and 36-months. CONCLUSIONS After 36 months, preheated nanofilled RCs showed an acceptable clinical performance similar to that of the nonheated ones in class I restorations, but with better resistance to marginal staining.

[PMID: 33143901 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.09.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Intraoral scanners have significantly improved over the last decade. Nevertheless, data comparing intraoral digital scans with conventional impressions are sparse. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the impact of impression technique (digital scans versus conventional impressions) on the clinical time, patient comfort, and marginal fit of tooth-supported prostheses. MATERIAL AND METHODS The authors conducted a literature search based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome (PICO) framework in 3 databases to identify clinical trials with no language or date restrictions. The mean clinical time, patient comfort, and marginal fit values of each study were independently extracted by 2 review authors and categorized according to the scanning or impression method. The authors assessed the study-level risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 16 clinical studies met the inclusion criteria. The mean clinical time was statistically similar for digital scan procedures (784 ±252 seconds) and for conventional impression methods (1125 ±159 seconds) (P>.05). The digital scan techniques were more comfortable for patients than conventional impressions; the mean visual analog scale score was 67.8 ±21.7 for digital scans and 39.6 ±9.3 for conventional impressions (P<.05). The mean marginal fit was 80.9 ±31.9 μm and 92.1 ±35.4 μm for digital scan and conventional impressions, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS Digital scan techniques are comparable with conventional impressions in terms of clinical time and marginal fit but are more comfortable for patients than conventional impression techniques.

Abstract
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Improving the quality of treatment of class 5 dental defects by direct restoration with light-cured composites by heating the composite during modeling. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was carried out on the extracted teeth with the help of a microscope. The marginal fit of light-cured resins was studied when the temperature regime changed to 40 °C due to heating in the cavity. A comparative characteristic of heated composites and composites of ordinary consistency at room temperature of 21-22 °C is also given. RESULTS The tested composites showed a tighter edge fit when filling in a heated mode than when condensing the material at room temperature. CONCLUSION The proposed protocol for heating composites with a nozzl has high efficiency, allowing for improved edge fit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the 5-year clinical performance of two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL). METHODS AND MATERIALS The sample comprised 35 adults with at least two similar-sized NCCL. Seventy restorations were placed, according to one of the following groups: Adper Single Bond 2 (SB) and Ambar (AM). The restorations were placed incrementally using a resin composite (Opallis). The restorations were evaluated at baseline and after 6 and 18 months and 5 years using some items of the FDI criteria. The differences in the ratings of the two materials after 6 months, 18 months, and 5 years were performed with Friedman repeated measures ANOVA by rank and McNemar test for significance in each pair (α=0.05). RESULTS Five patients did not attend the 60-month recall. No significant differences were observed between the materials for any criteria evaluated. Twenty-one restorations failed (12 for SB and 9 for AM) after 60 months. Thus, the retention rate for SB at 60 months were 55.6% for SB and 71% for AM (p=0.32). After 60 months, 12 restorations (6 for SB and 6 AM) showed some loss of marginal adaptation (p=1.0). Slight marginal discoloration was observed in 10 restorations (6 for SB and 4 AM; p=0.91). Five restorations (2 for SB and 3 for AM) showed recurrences of caries (p=1.0). CONCLUSIONS Both two-step etch-and-rinse adhesives-Adper Single Bond 2, a polyalkenoic acid-containing adhesive, and Ambar, a 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP)-containing adhesive-showed acceptable clinical performance after 60 months.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this clinical trial was to compare a self-adhesive flowable resin composite, a highly filled flowable resin composite used in combination with a universal adhesive applied in self-etch mode, and a conventional flowable resin composite used in combination with a universal adhesive applied using two different application modes in occlusal cavities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients received 114 occlusal restorations. Cavities were divided into four groups: CS: a self-adhering flowable (Constic, DMG); GF: a highly filled flowable (G-ænial Universal Flo, GC) in combination with a universal adhesive applied in self-etch mode (G-Premio Bond, GC); TF-SE: a conventional flowable (Tetric N-Flow, Ivoclar Vivadent) in combination with a universal adhesive (Tetric N-Bond Universal, Ivoclar Vivadent) applied in self-etch mode; TF-ER: a conventional flowable (Tetric N-Flow, Ivoclar Vivadent) in combination with a universal adhesive (Tetric N-Bond Universal, Ivoclar Vivadent) applied in etch&rinse mode. Restorations were scored using modified USPHS criteria. Descriptive statistics were performed using chi-squared tests. RESULTS At 24-month evaluations, none of the restorations were lost. The CS group showed significantly higher bravo scores for marginal adaptation than did the other experimental groups (p = 0.024). Significant changes were seen for CS and GF regarding marginal adaptation compared to baseline. CONCLUSION Although the self-adhering flowable resin composite exhibited inferior marginal adaptation compared to the highly filled flowable and conventional flowable resin composites, the restored teeth demonstrated a clinically acceptable performance after 24 months.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate interfacial gap formation of CAD/CAM lithium disilicate inlay margins before and after thermomechanical loading. METHODS AND MATERIALS Mesio-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared on 12 extracted mandibular molars. The gingival margin of one proximal box was elevated with resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) by a height of 2 mm (Group E [elevation]), and the margin of the other side served as a control (Group NE [no elevation]). Lithium disilicate computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) inlays were fabricated and bonded with a self-adhesive resin cement. An aging process was simulated on the specimens under thermomechanical cycling by using a chewing simulator. Marginal integration was evaluated under scanning electron miscroscopy (SEM) using epoxy resin replicas before and after cycling. Marginal areas were stained with silver nitrate solution, and the volumetric gap was measured at the bonded interfaces using microcomputed tomography (CT) before and after cycling. Statistical analyses were performed using paired t-tests, the Wilcoxon signed rank test, and the Mann-Whitney test (a<0.05). RESULTS SEM showed marginal discontinuities in Group NE that increased after thermomechanical cycling. Micro-computed tomography exhibited three-dimensional dye-penetrating patterns at the interfaces before and after cycling. Interfacial disintegration was larger in Group NE before cycling (p<0.05). Thermomechanical cycling increased the gaps in both Groups NE and E (p<0.05). The gap increment from thermomechanical cycling was larger in Group NE (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Thermomechanical cycling induced interfacial disintegration at the lithium disilicate CAD/CAM inlays, with deep proximal margins. Margin elevation with RMGI placement reduced the extent of the interfacial gap formation before and after the aging simulation.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE To compare the marginal fit of Ni-Cr copings made by casting in two different states (dry and wet) with either cellulose ring liners or no ring liners. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in vitro study was conducted on 40 patterns which were invested, and a burnout casting procedure was used, using a Ni-Cr alloy to obtain the cast copings. The cast copings were divested, cleaned, and run through a finishing procedure. The copings were seated on the stainless steel die and microscopically evaluated for marginal discrepancies at two predetermined reference points using an optical microscope (Rieichert, Austria). Statistical analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient and Chi-square test, keeping 95% confidence intervals and having a p value of less than 0.05 statistically significant. RESULTS Our results identified marginal discrepancies in all the Ni-Cr cast copings, which significantly differed from each other. The copings obtained from casting with a cellulose ring liner in a wet state showed a significantly higher value followed by casting using a cellulose ring liner in a dry state. The mean marginal discrepancy values were within the clinically acceptable range for all the Ni-Cr cast copings included in two groups. CONCLUSION Our study concludes that the copings cast with a cellulose ring liner in dry states had the least amount of vertical marginal discrepancies as compared to those that were cast with a ring liner in two different forms or those cast without a ring liner, suggesting that the use of cellulose ring liner in a dry state is favorable for all casting procedures. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Measuring gaps or discrepancies at margins is the commonly used method to determine the fit of Ni-Cr copings. In order to minimize marginal inaccuracies, various authors have suggested different methods to improve the marginal adaptation of cast restorations. There are compensation methods like setting expansion, hygroscopic expansion, and thermal expansion of the investment, which are used to assess metal shrinkage during cooling.

Abstract
AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the marginal adaptation, marginal staining, and postoperative sensitivity of resin composite restorations after disinfection of class II cavities with NanoCare Gold and chlorhexidine in class II cavities immediately, after 6 months, 1, and 2 years using World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria for assessment of dental restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 19 participants were recruited, 3 carious lesions in each one. After preparation of these lesions, they were randomly allocated into three parallel groups according to the disinfection protocol. The first group was for NanoCare Gold, the second was for chlorhexidine, and the third was for the control. The three groups were evaluated clinically and radiographically using (FDI) criteria at different intervals till 2 years of clinical service. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, arch, and tooth type distribution among study groups. Regarding marginal adaptation, there was no statistically significant difference among the different groups but the difference was only statistically significant within each group after 2 years. Regarding the marginal staining, the difference was only significant between the NanoCare and the other groups after 2 years. In case of postoperative sensitivity, there was no statistically significant difference among the different groups and within each one at different intervals. CONCLUSION NanoCare Gold could be promising in durability preservation of direct tooth-colored restorations. Marginal staining and postoperative sensitivity are regulated by other factors than surface pretreatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE As long as restorations are inserted under rubber dam isolation, proper application steps, proper filling, and adequate finishing and polishing, the performance of the restorations would be satisfactory up to 1 year without any surface disinfection. However, after a longer follow-up, some changes may be noticed. NanoCare Gold and chlorhexidine are accepted as a cavity disinfectant without any negative effect on marginal adaptation of resin composite restorations.

Abstract
This study was designed to assess the fit of cobalt chromium copings fabricated using direct metal laser sintering and to compare with copings fabricated from nickel chromium (traditional casting) and zirconia (milled from partially sintered blanks). For both cobalt chromium and zirconia groups, impressions were generated using direct or indirect digitization. There were 5 experimental groups of 12 copings fabricated for a prepared maxillary right molar. The intimacy of fit (measured at the margin, axial wall and occlusal) was assessed using a replica method technique. The results showed that zirconia copings produced using direct digitization had significantly smaller marginal, axial and occlusal measurements compared to other groups (p⟨0.05). Nevertheless, all groups had a mean marginal gap within accepted clinical values. Though there was a decrease in the intimacy of fit from the margin to axial wall to the occlusal surface. It can be concluded that the fit of zirconia copings fabricated using direct digitization was significantly better than the other groups. However, it can be expected that further enhancement and refinement of additive technology such as direct metal laser sintering will offer clinicians a viable alternative to nickel chromium analogue production methods in the future.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study was to compare inlay and onlay restorations fabricated from conventional impressions and two different digital impression systems in terms of clinical features and marginal fit. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were randomly assigned to three groups according to the type of impression system used. The impressions were taken with polyvinyl siloxane silicone material for the control group (CON). For the digital impressions, Trios Pod Scanner (3Shape) was used for the TRIOS group and Cerec AC Omnicam (Sirona) for the CEREC group. A total of 40 IPS e.max CAD and 20 IPS e.max Press (both Ivoclar Vivadent) inlay and onlay restorations were then placed in 24 participants. Clinical evaluations, Plaque Index, Gingival Index, and pocket probing depth measurements were taken at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using FDI criteria. The continuous margin percentages were quantitatively examined by scanning electron microscopy at baseline and 12 months. RESULTS All the restorations showed clinically acceptable measurements at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. The continuous margin evaluations showed no statistically significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Based on the 12-month follow-up results, inlay and onlay restorations fabricated with digital impressions were found to be a reliable alternative to conventional impressions.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study was to compare the marginal gap of teeth restored with crowns using six different CAD/CAM materials with two different milling units. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten mandibular molar teeth were collected after surgical extractions and prepared with two different diamond-coated instruments to receive full veneer crowns. The teeth were optically scanned, designed in CAD/CAM software, and milled in two different milling units. The marginal gap was measured using an optical microscope at 200x magnification. The restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method was used to estimate unknown parameters, and the statistical calculation was performed using R software. RESULTS The model used to answer the primary study question involved a significant (P < 0.001) instrument versus material interaction. No other interaction was statistically significant (P = 0.146). Finally, significant within-crown heteroscedasticity was found (P < 0.001) for the two different diamond-coated instruments and was taken into account in the model used. CONCLUSIONS The marginal gaps achieved by the crowns across all groups were within a clinically acceptable range.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mild and intermediately strong 2-step self-etch adhesives (2SEa) have been shown to bond efficiently to dentin. In general, their bonding efficiency to enamel is inferior to that of etch & rinse adhesives (E&Ra). On the other hand, their application procedure is less elaborate, and consequently leaves less room for application mistakes. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the clinical performance of an intermediately strong 2SEa, as compared with that of a 3-step E&Ra after 6 years of clinical functioning. MATERIALS AND METHODS 239 non-carious cervical lesions in 50 patients were restored with the nanohybrid composite Herculite XRV (Kerr), bonded in random order either with the 2SEa Optibond XTR ('O-XTR', Kerr) or the gold-standard control 3E&Ra Optibond FL ('O-FL', Kerr). The restorations were recalled after 1, 2 and 6 years of clinical service and examined for retention, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, caries occurrence, and postoperative sensitivity. Statistical analysis was performed using a logistic regression model with generalized estimating equations (2-way GEE model). RESULTS The patient recall rate at 6 years was 94%. The overall clinical success rate was 81.9% and 80.9% for O-XTR and O-FL, respectively. In total, 42 restorations (21 O-XTR, 21 O-FL) failed because of retention loss, severe abfraction/abrasion/erosion, severe marginal defects and/or discoloration, and/or caries. A retention rate of 92.9% and 88.9% was recorded for O-XTR and O-FL, respectively. Progressive marginal deterioration was observed over the 6-year period. Small clinically acceptable marginal defects were recorded in about 70% of the restorations (O-XTR: 69.9%; O-FL: 74.1%). Regarding marginal discoloration, 37% of the O-XTR and 30.2% of the O-FL restorations showed superficial clinically acceptable marginal discoloration. Six O-XTR and 4 O-FL restorations exhibited caries at the restoration margin. No significant difference was observed between the two groups for any of the evaluated parameters (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION After 6 years of clinical service, Class-V restorations bonded with the 2SEa performed clinically equally well as those bonded with the 3E&Ra.
