Ceramic veneers are a common option for enhancing dental aesthetics by improving tooth form, shade, and function. Preparation design is considered a critical factor in the success of dental veneers, as it influences the failure load and fatigue survival of posterior minimally invasive ceramic veneer restorations. The purpose of the study is to compare the failure load and mode after fatigue among three types of veneer preparation designs for restoring premolars.
64 human premolars were equally divided into four groups. Group 1 had a buccal preparation depth of 0.7 mm; Group 2 had an additional reduction of the buccal cusp; Group 3 had a mesio-occluso-distal box with dimensions of 2 mm wide and 3 mm deep. The remaining sound teeth served as the control group. Monolithic lithium disilicate restorations were cemented onto the prepared teeth with adhesive cement and then exposed to dynamic fatigue and thermocycling. Each specimen underwent a single load-to-failure test, and the discrepancy in failure load before and after fatigue was computed.
No significant differences in initial failure load were observed among the four groups evaluated (p <.075). A significant drop in failure load was observed in all groups after fatigue (P = 0.012). The failure loads of Groups I and II were significantly lower than those of Group III and the control (P < 0.05)." Nevertheless, after fatigue, statistically significant differences were detected (p <.013) as fatigue caused a substantial drop in failure load among all groups.
Within the limitations of this study, fatigue significantly reduced failure load in all groups. Veneer preparation design influenced post-fatigue strength, with more conservative designs showing better resistance. These findings underscore the impact of fatigue on structural integrity and the importance of tooth preparation design on fatigue resilience.
陶瓷贴面是通过改善牙齿形态、色泽和功能来提升牙齿美观度的常见选择。预备设计被认为是牙贴面成功的关键因素,因为它会影响后牙微创陶瓷贴面修复体的破坏载荷和疲劳寿命。本研究的目的是比较三种用于修复前磨牙的贴面预备设计的破坏载荷和疲劳后的破坏模式。
64颗人前磨牙平均分为四组。第1组颊面预备深度为0.7毫米;第2组额外降低颊尖高度;第3组制备近中-咬合-远中箱形洞,宽2毫米,深3毫米。其余完好牙齿作为对照组。将整块二硅酸锂修复体用粘结剂粘结到预备好的牙齿上,然后进行动态疲劳和热循环处理。每个标本进行单次破坏载荷测试,并计算疲劳前后破坏载荷的差异。
在评估的四组中,初始破坏载荷未观察到显著差异(p < 0.075)。疲劳后所有组的破坏载荷均显著下降(P = 0.012)。第I组和第II组的破坏载荷显著低于第III组和对照组(P < 0.05)。然而,疲劳后检测到统计学上的显著差异(p < 0.013),因为疲劳导致所有组的破坏载荷大幅下降。
在本研究的局限性内,疲劳显著降低了所有组的破坏载荷。贴面预备设计影响疲劳后的强度,更保守的设计表现出更好的抗力。这些发现强调了疲劳对结构完整性的影响以及牙齿预备设计对疲劳恢复能力的重要性。
