"# Ivoclar-Vivadent) luted with self-polymerized resin cement (Multilink, Ivoclar Vivadent) while the coronal section was restored with hybrid composite core build-up material (Tetric Ceram, Ivoclar-Vivadent), which received all-ceramic crown. Different ferrule heights were investigated: 1...

The mechanisms contributing to failure of full dental ceramic crowns under occlusal loads were studied using a unique optical approach. Model specimens comprising triple-layered crowns (veneer, core and substrate) were developed with both flat and curved occlusal surfaces and then subjected to simulated quasi-static occlusal loading using a spherical indenter. Deformation within the specimens d...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the relative contribution of variables in the crown-cement-tooth system that can influence magnitude of maximum principal stress in all-ceramic crowns. METHODS.: Factorial analysis was performed to calculate the coefficients of main and interactive effects of seven variables on maximum stress distribution in a series of finite elemen...

Chinese ceramic art in the Qing Dynasty, it has won a lot of praise for its unique shape and exquisite, wonderful decoration form. The revolving core bottle（CRCB） an obvious decorative From perspective formal analysis, through concrete analysis form CRCB, this paper puts forward three characteristics CRCB Dynasty: rich color expression, three-dimensional space flow continuous picture structure....

Freckle defects usually appear on the surface of castings and industrial ingots during the directional solidification process and most of them are located near the interface between the shell mold and superalloys. Ceramic cores create more interfaces in the directionally solidified (DS) and single crystal (SX) hollow turbine blades. In order to investigate the location of freckle occurrence in ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the internal fit (IF) of glass-infiltrated alumina (ICA--In-Ceram Alumina), yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP--IPS e.max ZirCAD), and metal-ceramic (MC--Ni-Cr alloy) crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty standardized resin-tooth replicas of a maxillary first molar were produced for crown placement and divided into 3 grou...

OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to examine not only the incidence but also the impact of noise from two types of total hip replacement articulations: ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene. METHODS We performed a case-controlled study comparing subjective and objective questionnaire scores of patients receiving a ceramic-on-ceramic or a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement by a si...
