Loss of dentition can lead to not only compromised esthetics and functions of the patient, but also alveolar bone resorption. Bone grafting with prosthetic reconstruction of the gingiva can be selected for the treatment, and it provides many benefits as prosthetic gingival reconstruction does not require a complicated surgical process and is available within a short period of time, with stable clinical results. However, conventional porcelain fused to metal prosthesis has certain limits due to its size, and deformation after several firing procedures. In this clinical report, the author would like to introduce a patient with severe alveolar resorption who was treated with gingiva-shaped zirconia/titanium CAD/CAM implant fixed prosthesis for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Clinical reports Clinical report 1, 2 : A case of loss of anterior dentition with atrophied alveolar bone. Implant retained zirconia bridge applied with Procera implant bridge system to simulate the gingiva. Upper structure was fabricated with zirconia all ceramic crown. Clinical report 3, 4 : A case of atrophied maxillary alveolus was reconstructed with fixed implant prosthesis, a CAD/CAM designed titanium structure covered wi th resin on its surface. Anterior dentition was reconstructed with zirconia crown. Conclusion and clinical uses. All patients were satisfied with the outcome, and maintained good oral hygiene. Zirconia/titanium implant fixed prosthesis fabricated by CAD/CAM system was highly accurate and showed adequate histological response. No critical failure was seen on the implant fixture and abutment overall. Sites of severe alveolar bone loss can be rehabilitated by implant fixed prosthesis with CAD/CAM system. This type of prosthesis can offer artificial gingival structure and can give more satisfying esthetics and functions, and as a result the patients were able to accept the outcome more fondly, which makes us less than hard to think that it can be a more convenient treatment for the practitioners.

최근 CAD-CAM과 지르코니아를 이용한 보철물의 제작이 증가하고 있으며 구강스캐너의 발달로 임상 및 기공과정이 단순화되고 있다. 균열치 혹은 치아의 일부가 파절된 경우, 구강스캐너를 사용하여 치아 삭제 전에 치아의 형태를 미리 스캔하고, 추후 수복물 제작 시 중첩을 통해 단일체 지르코니아 전장관을 제작하면 원래 환자의 자연치 형태와 교합을 재현할 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 균열 및 파절된 치아에서 구강 스캐너, CAD-CAM 및 단일체 지르코니아 전장관을 사용하여 삭제 전 치아의 형태와 교합을 재현한 수복물을 제작하였으며, 교합조정을 최소화할 수 있었다. 또한 임상적으로 기능적이고 심미적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

PURPOSE. This study aims to clinically compare the fitness and trueness of zirconia crowns fabricated by different combinations of open CAD-CAM systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Total of 40 patients were enrolled in this study, and 9 different zirconia crowns were prepared per patient. Each crown was made through the cross-application of 3 different design software (EZIS VR, 3Shape Dental System, Exocad) with 3 different processing devices (Aegis HM, Trione Z, Motion 2). The marginal gap, absolute marginal discrepancy, internal gap(axial, line angle, occlusal) by a silicone replica technique were measured to compare the fit of the crown. The scanned inner and outer surfaces of the crowns were compared to CAD data using 3D metrology software to evaluate trueness. RESULTS. There were significant differences in the marginal gap, absolute marginal discrepancy, axial and line angle internal gap among the groups (P < .05) in the comparison of fit. There was no statistically significant difference among the groups in terms of occlusal internal gap. The trueness ranged from 36.19 to 43.78 ㎛ but there was no statistically significant difference within the groups (P > .05). CONCLUSION. All 9 groups showed clinically acceptable level of marginal gaps ranging from 74.26 to 112.20 ㎛ in terms of fit comparison. In the comparison of trueness, no significant difference within each group was spotted. Within the limitation of this study, open CAD-CAM systems used in this study can be assembled properly to fabricate zirconia crown.

용융침투법으로 알루미나/지르코니아-유리 복합체를 제조하여 지르코니아 첨가가 복합체의 기계적 및 광학적 특성과 유리 침투 kinetic에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유리 침투시간이 증가할수록 침투깊이는 Washburn식에 의한 포물선관계로 증가하였으며 침투 상수인 K는 기공 크기의 함수로 지르코니아 첨가량이 증가할수록 기공 크기의 감소로 감소하였다. 지르코니아 양이 증가함에 따라 명도($L^*$)는 증가하지만 유리 침투 상수(K), 투과율(transmittance), 채도($C^*$)가 감소하였다. 지르코니아가 15 wt% 첨가될 때까지 알루미나/지르코니아-유리 복합체의 인성값 증가를 보였지만 기공률의 증가로 인하여 기계적 특성 향상에는 크게 기여하지 않았다.

CAD/CAM이 치과계에 도입된지도 벌써 꽤 많은 시간이 흘렀음에도 불구하고 현재의 CAD/CAM은 여전히 비효율적이거나 또는 비심미적이다. '효율성' 과 '심미성'이란 두 단어는 지르코이나 보철물에 있어서는 양극에 위치하게 된다. 효율적이기 위해 도재소성없이 monolithic한 지르코니아 보철물을 만들다 보면 비심미적인 경우가 대부분이고, 거꾸로 심미적이기 위해 도재소성 과정을 거치다보면 여전히 사람의 손을 타게되는 비효율성을 피할 수 없기 때문이다. 이 글에서는 지르코니아 보철물의 현주소와 이와 관련된 몇가지 증례들을 보여드리고자 한다.

Application of ceramic materials for fabrication of dental restoration materials has been a focus of interest in the field of esthetic dentistry. The ceramic materials of choice are glass ceramics, spinel, alumina, and zirconia. The development of yttrium tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (YTZP)-based systems is a recent addition to all-ceramic systems that have high strength and are used for crowns and fixed partial dentures. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-produced, YTZP-based systems are popular with respect to their esthetic appeal for use in stress-bearing regions. The highly esthetic nature of zirconia and its superior physical properties and biocompatibility have enabled the development of restorative systems that meet the demands of today's patients. Many in vitro trials have been performed on the use of zirconia; however, relatively fewer long-term clinical studies have been published on this subject. The use of zirconia frameworks for long-span fixed partial dentures is currently being evaluated; in the future, more in vivo research and long-term clinical studies are required to provide scientific evidence for drawing solid guidelines. Further clinical and in vitro studies are required to obtain data regarding the long-term clinical use of zirconia-based restorations.

Objective: The aims of this study were to compare the shear bond strength between orthodontic metal brackets and glazed zirconia using different types of primer before applying resin cement and to determine which primer was more effective. Methods: Zirconia blocks were milled and embedded in acrylic resin and randomly assigned to one of four groups: nonglazed zirconia with sandblasting and zirconia primer (NZ); glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, and zirconia primer (GZ); glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, and porcelain primer (GP); and glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, zirconia primer, and porcelain primer (GZP). A stainless steel metal bracket was bonded to each target surface with resin cement, and all specimens underwent thermal cycling. The shear bond strength of the specimens was measured by a universal testing machine. A scanning electron microscope, three-dimensional optical surface-profiler, and stereoscopic microscope were used to image the zirconia surfaces. The data were analyzed with one-way analyses of variance and the Fisher exact test. Results: Group GZ showed significantly lower shear bond strength than did the other groups. No statistically significant differences were found among groups NZ, GP, and GZP. All specimens in group GZ showed adhesive failure between the zirconia and resin cement. In groups NZ and GP, bonding failed at the interface between the resin cement and bracket base or showed complex adhesive and cohesive failure. Conclusions: Porcelain primer is the more appropriate choice for bonding a metal bracket to the surface of a full-contour glazed zirconia crown with resin cement.

The tribological characteristics of dental metal alloys and zirconia were studied by carrying out a friction and wear performance test. In this study, a pin-on-disk-type tester was used and dead weight was employed as the normal load applied to the test specimen. The friction coefficient of dental metal alloys was investigated in terms of their weight and sliding velocity. Microscopic observations were carried out on worn surfaces of specimens. The results indicated that among all metal alloys, Super-A had the highest friction coefficient. Super-A had the lowest amount of wear among all metal alloys, and the amount of wear increased in the following order: Crown & Bridge, Porcelain, and Partial. Crown & Bridge had the best friction coefficient, but the hardness of Crown & Bridge was lower than that of Porcelain and Partial. Experimental measurement results indicated that the disk weight before and after the experiment was the same.
