Abstract

The advent of CAD/CAM systems that enable computerized, in-office fabrication of porcelain restorations has revolutionized the delivery of precise, durable, and aesthetic restorations. Using specialized software programs that facilitate visualization of the desired restoration on the model prior to actual fabrication and scanning devices that can be applied to the intraoral structures have further improved the clinician's ability to determine the necessary restorative parameters that will ensure an accurate fit. This article presents the fabrication and delivery protocol used for CAD/CAM-fabricated restorations.

Effects of ozonation on the permeate flux of nanocrystalline ceramic membranes.

Titania membranes, with a molecular weight cut-off of 15 kD were used in an ozonation/membrane system that was fed with water from Lake Lansing, which had been pre-filtered through a 0.45 microm glass fiber filter. The application of ozone gas prior to filtration resulted in significant decreases in membrane fouling. The effects of ozonation could not be explained by physical scouring of the filter cake. Decrease in the pH resulted in a concomitant increase in the dissolved ozone concentration in the feed water and in an improvement in permeate flux recovery. Increasing the ozone concentration beyond a threshold value had no beneficial effect on permeate flux recovery. Ozone decomposition, resulting in the formation of OH or other radicals at the membrane surface, is thought to result in the decomposition of organic foulants at the membrane surface and reduce the extent of membrane fouling.

The effect of core:dentin thickness ratio on the bi-axial flexure strength and fracture mode and origin of bilayered dental ceramic composites.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of core:dentin thickness ratio on the flexure strength, fracture mode and origin of bilayered dental ceramic composite disc specimens. METHODS: Sets of 30 bilayered composite discs with core:dentin thickness ratio of 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 were tested in bi-axial flexure with both the reinforcing core and veneering dentin loaded in tension. Mean flexure strengths, standard deviations and associated Weibull Moduli (m) were determined. A combination of optical and scanning electron microscopy was employed for identification of the fracture mode and origin. RESULTS: The core:dentin ratio influenced the bi-axial flexure strength and reliability of the flexure strength data when both the reinforcing core and veneering dentin porcelain were tested in tension. The strength and reliability was increased for a core:dentin thickness of 2:1. The number of fracture fragments, the frequency of occurrence of specimen delaminations, Hertzian cone formations and sub-critical radial cracking in the bilayered dental ceramic composite disc shaped specimens was also dependent on the core/dentin ratio and the surface loaded in tension. CONCLUSIONS: Core:dentin thickness ratio influences the bi-axial flexure strength and fracture mode and origin in bilayered dental ceramic composite specimens.
