    Clinical gap changes after porcelain firing cycles of zirconia fixed dentures
    (KOREAN ACAD PROSTHODONTICS, 2014) TÜRKER, ŞEBNEM BEGÜM; Bugurman, Bugurman Burcu; Turker, Sebnem Begum
    PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to measure the changes on the marginal and internal adaptation of zirconia based anterior fixed partial dentures after the porcelain firing process. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 34 anterior fixed partial dentures using LAVA CAD/CAM system (3M ESPE, Germany) were applied. Two silicone replicas were obtained: one is obtained before porcelain firing process (initial) and the other is obtained after porcelain firing process (final), followed by the examination under a binocular stereomicroscope. Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were used for the statistical analysis (P<.05). RESULTS. No statistically significant difference was found between initial and final marginal gap values (P>.05). At the internal gap measurements, final marginal area values (59.54 mu m) were significantly lower than the initial marginal area values (68.68 mu m)(P<.05). The highest and the lowest internal gap values were observed at the incisal/occlusal area and at the marginal area, respectively. In. addition, lower internal gap values were obtained for canines than for central incisors, lateral incisors and premolars at the incisal area (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The firing cycles did not affect the marginal gap of Lava CAD/CAM system, but it is controversial for the internal gap.

    Fracture resistance of endodontically treated canines restored with different sizes of fiber post and all-ceramic crowns
    (KOREAN ACAD PROSTHODONTICS, 2016) TÜRKER, ŞEBNEM BEGÜM; Turker, Sebnem Begum; Alkumru, Hasan Necdet; Akalin, Buket
    PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to determine the fracture resistance and the mode of fracture of endodontically treated teeth restored with different fiber posts and all-ceramic crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Two glass fiber reinforced post systems in two different sizes and polyethylene fiber ribbon in two different thicknesses (n=10) were used. The specimens, restored with all-ceramic crowns, were subjected to a compressive load (in N) delivered at a 130-degree angle to the long axis until a fracture could be noted. The results were analyzed statistically with a One-Way ANOVA test (P<.05). RESULTS. Statistically significant differences were observed between the mean fracture resistance values of Postec, Snowlight, and Kerr Connect thin specimens (P<.0095). The Postec results (395.70 N) were found to be significantly higher than the others. No statistical difference was observed among the thick specimens (P<.2657). The mean fracture resistance values of the Snowlight thick samples were found to be higher than those of the Snowlight thin samples. The specimens were always fractured around the cemento-enamel junction at the palatinal side. No post fracture was observed for the thin Snowlight and Kerr Connect specimens or for the thick Postec and Kerr Connect specimens. Among the common failure types of the specimens, the worst was observed to be the root fracture failure. The highest post dislodgement failure result (80%) was obtained from the thin Kerr Connect specimen. CONCLUSION. In terms of optimizing fracture resistance, the fiber post size selection should be done according to the forces applied to the restored teeth.

    In Vitro Gap Changes After Porcelain Firing Cycles of Three and Four Unit of CAD/CAM Milling, Laser Sintering and Cast Metal Ceramic Restorations
    (MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2019-06-30) TÜRKER, ŞEBNEM BEGÜM; Keles, Muhammed Abdullah; Turker, Sebnem Begum
    Objectives: Marginal adaptation changes during the veneering process is an important factor in the clinical success of metal framework techniques such as conventional cast metal cores (LW), CAD-CAM Metal Milling (MM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). The aim of this study is to evaluate the marginal fit changes between three- and four-unit's metal ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPD's) fabricated by Lost Wax (LW), CAM Metal Milling (MM) and (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) DMLS metal framework techniques after porcelain firing cycles (PFC). Methods: A total of 60 stainless steel three and four unit FPD's models were fabricated. Specimens were randomly divided into three groups to fabricate metal ceramic FPD's frameworks with LW, MM and DMLS techniques. Before and after PFC, cross-sections from silicone replicas were obtained, sectioned, examined and measured with a light microscope. The statistical analysis was done with Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests. Results were evaluated at 95% of confidence interval and p<0.05 level. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the three and four unit of FPD's, before PFC for LW and MM (p:0.000) and DMLS (p:0.019)'s groups and only DMLS (p:0.006)'s group was statistically significant after PFC. The mean marginal gaps of LW technique was higher than the MM and DMLS's techniques before PFC. After PFC, DMLS's technique results were higher than LW and MM technique but, no statistically significant difference was found between the marginal gap values of the three and neither for four units of DMLS's FPD's. Conclusion: PFC decreases the mean marginal gap of the LW and MM group, but, there was a slight increase for DMLS group. However, all the marginal gap values obtained were in clinical acceptance level for three and four-units FPD's for all tested specimens.
