Strength of a New All-Ceramic Restorative Material “Turkom-Cera” Compared to Two Other Alumina-Based All-Ceramic Systems

چکیده
Early types of metal-free ceramics did not enjoy success in dentistry, especially in the posterior region (Shimada et al., 2002). The high crystalline content ceramic systems have been developed in an attempt to improve the strength of metal-free restorations as well as deliver more esthetic results than conventional metal-fused-to-ceramic restorations (Ozcan et al., 2001; Valandro et al., 2006). Glass infiltrated alumina ceramic (eg. In-Ceram Alumina, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany), densely sintered aluminum oxide ceramic (eg, Procera AllCeram, Nobel Biocare AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) and zirconium oxide ceramic (eg, Lava 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) are popular oxide-based high-strength ceramic materials that offer favorable esthetic characteristics, mechanical properties and biocompatibility (Blatz et al., 2004; Della Bona et al., 2007). It is obvious from the different studies in relation to the occlusal fracture resistance of allceramic systems that the values reported are highly variable. This is because the testing of the occlusal fracture resistance of crowns is not a standard procedure like a bending test for a geometrically well-defined bar. As reported by some researchers (Webber et al., 2003; ALMakramani et al., 2008a; Di Iorio et al., 2008), the results of the fracture load of all-ceramic crowns may be influenced by different factors. These include the microstructure of the ceramic material, preparation design, shape and thickness of the restoration, size and distribution of surface flaws, the magnitude, direction and location of the applied load, luting methods, the elastic modulus of the restoration components and storage conditions before loading to fracture. Regarding the effect of finish line on the occlusal fracture resistance of all-ceramic crowns, it was shown that preparation with a 1.2 mm shoulder finish line and sharp axiogingival line
