Abstract: Dental composite and ceramic restorative materials are designed to closely mimic the aesthetics and function of natural tooth tissue, and their longevity in the oral environment depends to a large degree on their fatigue and wear properties. The purpose of this review is to highlight some recent advances in our understanding of fatigue and wear mechanisms, and how they contribute to restoration failures in the complex oral environment. Overall, fatigue and wear processes are found to be closely related, with wear of dental ceramic occlusal surfaces providing initiation sites for fatigue failures, and subsurface fatigue crack propagation driving key wear mechanisms for composites, ceramics, and enamel. Furthermore, both fatigue and wear of composite restorations may be important in enabling secondary caries formation, which is the leading cause of composite restoration failures. Overall, developing a mechanistic description of fatigue, wear, and secondary caries formation, along with understanding the interconnectivity of all three processes, are together seen as essential keys to successfully using in vitro studies to predict in vivo outcomes and develop improved dental restorative materials.

Abstract: To test the hypothesis that the difference in the coefficient of thermal contraction of the veneering porcelain above (αliquid) and below (αsolid) its Tg plays an important role in stress development during a fast cooling protocol of Y-TZP crowns. Three-dimensional finite element models of veneered Y-TZP crowns were developed. Heat transfer analyses were conducted with two cooling protocols: slow (group A) and fast (groups B-F). Calculated temperatures as a function of time were used to determine the thermal stresses. Porcelain αsolid was kept constant while its αliquid was varied, creating different Δα/αsolid conditions: 0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 (groups B-F, respectively). Maximum (σ1) and minimum (σ3) residual principal stress distributions in the porcelain layer were compared. For the slowly cooled crown, positive σ1 were observed in the porcelain, orientated perpendicular to the core-veneer interface ("radial" orientation). Simultaneously, negative σ3 were observed within the porcelain, mostly in a hoop orientation ("hoop-arch"). For rapidly cooled crowns, stress patterns varied depending on Δα/αsolid ratios. For groups B and C, the patterns were similar to those found in group A for σ1 ("radial") and σ3 ("hoop-arch"). For groups D-F, stress distribution changed significantly, with σ1 forming a "hoop-arch" pattern while σ3 developed a "radial" pattern. Hoop tensile stresses generated in the veneering layer during fast cooling protocols due to porcelain high Δα/αsolid ratio will facilitate flaw propagation from the surface toward the core, which negatively affects the potential clinical longevity of a crown.

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to undertake a literature search collecting all dentin bond strength data obtained for six adhesives with four tests (shear, microshear, tensile and microtensile) and to critically analyze the results with respect to average bond strength, coefficient of variation, mode of failure and product ranking. A PubMed search was carried out for the years between 1998 and 2009 identifying publications on bond strength measurements of resin composite to dentin using four tests: shear, tensile, microshear and microtensile. The six adhesive resins were selected covering three step systems (OptiBond FL, Scotch Bond Multi-Purpose Plus), two-step (Prime & Bond NT, Single Bond, Clearfil SE Bond) and one step (Adper Prompt L Pop). Pooling results from 147 references showed an ongoing high scatter in the bond strength data regardless which adhesive and which bond test was used. Coefficients of variation remained high (20-50%) even with the microbond test. The reported modes of failure for all tests still included high number of cohesive failures. The ranking seemed to be dependant on the test used. The scatter in dentin bond strength data remains regardless which test is used confirming Finite Element Analysis predicting non-uniform stress distributions due to a number of geometrical, loading, material properties and specimens preparation variables. This reopens the question whether, an interfacial fracture mechanics approach to analyze the dentin-adhesive bond is not more appropriate for obtaining better agreement among dentin bond related papers.
