چکیده

The microstructures and mechanical properties of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys produced by three CAD/CAM-based processing techniques were investigated in comparison with those produced by the traditional casting technique. Four groups of disc- (microstructures) or dumbbell- (mechanical properties) specimens made of Co-Cr alloys were prepared using casting (CS), milling (ML), selective laser melting (SLM), and milling/post-sintering (ML/PS). For each technique, the corresponding commercial alloy material was used. The microstructures of the specimens were evaluated via X-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron backscattered diffraction pattern analysis. The mechanical properties were evaluated using a tensile test according to ISO 22674 (n = 6). The microstructure of the alloys was strongly influenced by the manufacturing processes. Overall, the SLM group showed superior mechanical properties, the ML/PS group being nearly comparable. The mechanical properties of the ML group were inferior to those of the CS group. The microstructures and mechanical properties of Co-Cr alloys were greatly dependent on the manufacturing technique as well as the chemical composition. The SLM and ML/PS techniques may be considered promising alternatives to the Co-Cr alloy casting process.

Comparison of the mechanical properties and microstructures of fractured surface for Co-Cr alloy fabricated by conventional cast, 3-D printing laser-sintered and CAD/CAM milled techniques

Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) alloys have been widely used in dentistry for removable partial dentures, metal frames, and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Because the alloys are strong, resistant to corrosion and relatively inexpensive compared to gold alloys and some all-ceramic materials. However, the fabrication processes for the alloys, such as casting, cutting and plastic works, are usually diff...

Effect of Die Materials on the Fracture Resistance of CAD/CAM Monolithic Crown Restorations

The effect of the die materials on the fracture strength of CAD/CAM monolithic ceramic crowns was studied in this research. Three different types of die materials (dentin, Ni-Cr alloy, epoxy resin) were prepared. The monolithic crowns were fabricated using a CAD/CAM System; CEREC 4. The CAD/CAM crowns were cemented to dies using a resin cement. The specimens were tested under compressive load a...

Processing Capability of Apatite-Mullite Glass-Ceramic Materials for the Production of Dental Restorations

Introduction: There is currently significant interest in all-ceramic dental restorations. A potential non-metallic material for such restorations is an apatite-mullite glass-ceramic that could be processed to shape using different processing techniques. The aim of this study was to assess and evaluate the ability of an apatite-mullite glass-ceramic material to be processed using three routes: l...

The evaluation and comparison of marginal adaptation in metal ceramic and all ceramic restorations fabricated by two methods: CAD/CAM and conventional

Introduction: Marginal fit is a key factor for long term clinical success through any dental restorations. Poor marginal adaptation causes cement dissolution. This can lead to dental caries, gingival irritation, periodontal diseases, and finally treatment failure. The aim of this study was measurement and comparison of marginal gap quantities in metal ceramic and all ceramic dental restorations...

Characterization of alloys produced with new system for processing dental prosthesis

Removable partial dentures (RPD) are traditionally made of casted alloys using the lostwax technique. Laser-sintering is a new additive manufacturing technique for processing RPD metal frameworks that can produce RPDs frameworks quickly with high precision and at low cost. The objective of this study was to characterize the mechanical, crystallographic, and biocompatibility properties of RPD Co...
