Abstract

Objective

The use of vertical margin design in all-ceramic restoration has generated inquiries regarding its clinical efficacy under diverse dynamic oral conditions. This research aims to assess the marginal fit and fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns featuring vertical margin design as opposed to those with conventional horizontal margin design.

Materials and Methods

Two metal dies were employed to generate replicated resin dies mimicking mandibular first molar preparation. The metal dies were precision-engineered with two margin designs: vertical margin design presenting a shoulderless configuration (Featheredge) and horizontal margin design (Radial Shoulder). Forty zirconia crowns were produced on the replicated resin dies using two varieties of monolithic zirconia, with twenty crowns in each category: pre-shaded and multilayered zirconia. Both sets were further subdivided into two groups based on the finish line configuration utilized (n = 10). The vertical marginal gap of the zirconia crowns was gauged before and after thermocycling (5-55oC/5000 cycles), followed by loading the crowns until fracture occurred. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), accompanied by Bonferroni's post hoc test and independent t-test for pairwise comparisons.

Results

The Shoulder subgroup of BruxZir exhibited the highest mean marginal gap value (120.06 ± 10.15 µ), while the Featheredge subgroup of BruxZir displayed the lowest value (49.72 ± 6.53 µ). Among the BruxZir group, the Featheredge subgroup showcased the highest mean fracture resistance value (4251.57 ± 279.90 N), whereas the Shoulder subgroup recorded the lowest value (1721.60 ± 225.16 N).

Conclusion

Monolithic zirconia crowns with vertical margin design (Featheredge) demonstrated statistically enhanced performance compared to conventional horizontal margin design, as evidenced by lower marginal gap values and increased fracture resistance tolerance.

期刊介绍： Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
