Effect of aging on the fracture resistance and microleakage of CAD-CAM-produced ceramic inlays
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and microleakage of different CAD-CAM inlay restorations.
Methodology: Inlay restorations from nine restorative materials as monolithic zirconia (TZI), resin nano ceramic (LU), hybrid ceramic (VE), feldspathic ceramic (CB), zirconia reinforced lithium silicate (VS), lithium disilicate (e.max), leucite reinforced glass ceramic (Emp), resin ceramic (GCS), and conventional composite resin (CR) were used (n=10). For evaluating the fracture resistance, restorations were cemented to resin teeth and subjected to thermomechanical aging. The data of fracture resistance were analyzed using One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Games-Howel tests (a=0.05). For evaluating the microleakage, restorations were cemented on human teeth and subjected to thermocycling. The teeth were vertically sectioned into two parts and microleakages were assessed as yes or no.
Results: The highest and lowest fracture resistance values were found in TZI and LU groups, respectively (p>0.05). The most frequent microleakage was observed in TZI and CR groups, and the least microleakage was seen in the VE group. Microleakage was frequently found in cervical surfaces and followed by occlusal, axial, and pulpal surfaces.
Conclusion: Hybrid ceramics showed similar fracture resistance with the monolithic zirconia; besides, the lowest microleakage was observed for these ceramics. Hybrid ceramics may be a good alternative for inlay restorations.
