Purpose To evaluate the influence of intraoral and extraoral digitization systems on marginal discrepancy monolithic lithium disilicate zirconia computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) crowns.

Abstract Objective: investigation of the microshear bond strength between lithium disilicate with preheated viscous composite, flowable composite and resin cement by comparison their strength. Material method: forty five samples were prepared divided into three groups; group, group group. Materials injected custom made plastic transparent molds (2 mm height, 2 diameter) on surface discs that pr...

Highly crystalline and pure lithium metasilicate (Li2SiO3) and lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5) nanomaterials were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by PXRD technique. The changes in the morphology and particle size of the synthesized nanomaterials with reaction time were investigated using SEM technique. The UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectra of the compounds were studied. Th...

objective: the aim of this study was to compare the microtensile bond strengths (μ tbs) of three core materials with one lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic using two resin cements. methods: three core materials (nulite f® (biodental technologies), filtek z250® (3m-espe), prettau-anterior® (zirkonzhan, germany)) were prepared as blocks (10×10×4 mm3) according to the manufacturer’s instruction...

Biomechanics play a critical role in influencing the clinical applications of all-ceramic dental restorations. The restorative biomaterials have to demonstrate mechanical durability in the oral environment because they are always exposed to a variety of oral environments. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of soaking time, notch and saliva pH values on the impact energy of three com...

The present study explores the temperature and time dependence of heterogeneous (HET) crystal nucleation in a lithium disilicate glass using the stochastic approach. In particular, a single lithium disilicate sample was repeatedly (284 runs) undercooled to 1173K in a PtRh-crucible and the crystallization onset time during an isothermal hold was detected in each run. The statistical distribution...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of reducing tooth preparation and ceramic thickness on fracture resistance of lithium disilicate crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimen preparation included a standard complete crown preparation of a typodont mandibular left first molar with an occlusal reduction of 2 mm, proximal/axial wall reduction of 1.5 mm, and 1.0 mm deep chamfer (Group A). Another typo...
