    The influence of zirconia coping designs on maximum principal stress distribution in all-ceramic premolar crowns: A finite element analysis
    (2019) Diker, Burcu; Erkut, Selim; 31675195
    Purpose: To evaluate the effects of different coping designs on maximum principal stresses in the veneering material using a finite element analysis method. Methods: A maxillary first premolar tooth model was prepared. The primary and prepared tooth model were scanned with a 3D (three dimensional) scanner. Four different coping and veneer models were designed with 3D computer-aided design software: conventional design (DC); design with 3 mm palatal shoulder (DP); design with 1 mm buccal shoulder and 3 mm palatal shoulder (DB); and design with buccal facet (DF). After the models were designed, they were transferred to the finite element analysis (FEA) software for analyses. The middle points of the buccal, mesial, distal and palatal surfaces were determined in the cervical region. For all models, the maximum principal stress distributions and values of porcelain veneer were evaluated under centric occlusion loading and laterotrusive loading conditions with a FEA. Results: The maximum principal stress area decreased gradually from model DC to model DB on the buccal cervical region under centric occlusion loading. However, models DF and DP showed similar stress distribution. The maximum principal stress at the distal point decreased from DC (14.7 MPa) to DP (13.5 MPa) and DB (9.6 MPa), whereas increased in model DF (33 MPa). Under laterotrusive loading, both the palatal maximum principal stress area and the stress value at the palatal point (model DC: 13.1 MPa, model DP: 3 MPa, model DB: 4MPa) decreased with the palatal shoulder.

    The Trueness of An Intraoral Scanner in Scanning Different Post Space Depths
    (2022) Elter, Bahar; Diker, Burcu; Tak, Onjen; 0000-0002-8971-6819; 0000-0001-5367-9369; 36334784
    Objectives: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the trueness of scanning the post space up to 20 mm with an intraoral scanner (IOS).Methods: We captured 20-, 18-, 16-, 14-, 12-, and 10-mm length post space scans using an IOS (Primescan) eight times each by shortening the apical 2 mm end of the same mandibular canine tooth. The reference impressions of each length group were taken using a light-body polyvinyl siloxane impression material and were scanned with an extraoral scanner. The recorded standard tessellation language (STL) data of all impressions were uploaded to a 3D matching program for the trueness evaluation via the root mean square (RMS) calculation. For the statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis and post-hoc Mann-Whitney U nonparametric tests were performed to compare the differences among the groups (alpha=0.05).Results: The median RMS values increased in direct proportion to the length of the post space from 10 mm (357.1 mu m) to 20 mm (897.5 mu m). We noted a significant difference among groups (p< 0.001). In the pairwise comparisons, there were no significant differences between the 14 mm and 16 mm groups (p=0.431) or between the 18 mm and 20 mm groups (p=0.036), while other paired groups showed significant differences (p=0.001). Conclusions: The scanned space depth affected the trueness of the IOS (Primescan). If the post depth was below 14 mm, and the minimum diameter was 2.2 mm, Primescan could be used for impressions of the post-core structure, simplifying the impression procedure.Clinical significance: IOS seems to be a promising technology for taking digital impressions of post spaces, but cannot be recommended as a routine procedure at its present stage, as final results are highly dependent on the clinical situation. Further studies with different IOS systems are needed to gain sound evidence.
