Assessment of the compressive strength of the metal-ceramic connections in fixed dental restorations
Journal Title: Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 79, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the work was to evaluate the compressive strength of metalceramicconnections in the fixed dental restorations.Design/methodology/approach: Restorations were made on a model of the naturalpatient's dentition which was developed specifically for this study. The study included 10metal - porcelain crowns, for each group of teeth. Their production used Remanium 2000+alloy and porcelain Vita VMK Master. A static compression test was carried out on the finalcrowns and Vicker's hardness test was performed. Visual observations were carried out ona scanning electron microscope.Findings: On the basis of the research and the discussion it was possible to concludethat metal-porcelain crowns have a greater compressive strength than natural human teeth.Thus, they are more resistant to occlusal forces and the crowns for the first molars are thestrongest restorations.Practical implications: The metal-porcelain crowns are a very good option for teethrestoration and they can be used even in the areas of the mouth where the occlusal forcesreach the maximum values.Originality/value: The article focuses on testing of compressive strength of metal-ceramiccrowns. The comparison with natural human occlusal forces shows the sufficient mechanicalproperties of metal-ceramic crowns for application in humans. The artificial tooth geometryallows applying prosthetic crowns in the patient's mouth without the risk of ceramic breakdown.
