Composition, phase analysis, biaxial flexural strength, and fatigue of unshaded versus shaded Procera zirconia ceramic

Conclusions The results indicated shaded materials more readily transform the tetragonal to the monoclinic phase during load cycling than unshaded ones. However, extrapolating the effects of any shortening of the service life of zirconia compositions is difficult. The potential mitigating effects of other factors such as the thermal postprocessing of porcelain veneers, stains on zirconia, or effects of water have yet to be investigated.

A versatile snap-on, metal-to-metal connection system for direct immediate loading with screw prostheses

Publication date: Available online 22 March 2016 Source:The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry Author(s): José Carlos Balaguer-Martí, David Peñarrocha-Oltra, Miguel Peñarrocha-Diago, Rubén Agustín-Panadero This technique introduces a system of abutments with a pressure or friction fitting to retain implant-supported prostheses. The system combines the chief advantages of cement and screw-retained prostheses, which are passively fit and easily removed from the mouth, respectively. This system provides an alternative to conventional immediate loading systems, since it allows easier adjustment and modeling of the prosthesis with a snap-on connection and easier removal from the implants.
