The Editorial Board reserves the right to check the accuracy of the English terms and phrasings, consulting with professional medical translators. The Copy Editor of the Journal reserves the right to proceed to linguistic modifications without distorting, though, the authors style. Particularly for the English speaking authors, manuscripts may be submitted only in English language with an extensive (300 words) Greek summary. In this case the scientific editorial board will undertake the preparation of the summary applying the appropriate Greek terminology. All papers submitted must be double spaced, typed in Arial, Tahoma or Verdana font with margins on both sides. The title page, the summary and key words, the main text of the paper, the English summary and key words, the references, the legends, the tables and the figures appear on separate pages. All pages are numbered in the above order. Starting January 2010 all manuscripts are also submitted electronically at [email protected]. Title page: This page includes the following information: (a) title of the paper, (b) name and title of the author(s), (c) institution, (d) whether the paper has been previously presented at a conference and, if yes, details, (e) name, address and telephone of the corresponding author, (f) type of paper (based on 2 or 4), (g) possible source of financing for research. Summary and key words: The summary should be no longer than 200 words. In research papers the summary includes the purpose, the material, the methodology and the conclusions and it is followed by key words which normally include 3-10 key terms or short phrases. The particular words must be in accordance with the international lexicographical terminology as it appears in Index Medicus and Dental Index and must be included in the summary. Main text: Literature reviews should include a comprehensive introduction followed by a summarization of all the views relevant to the topic under discussion, based on specific references. Finally, the author is expected to provide a critical analysis of these views and reach clear conclusions. Research papers should comprise the following chapters: Introduction, Materials and Method, Findings-Results, Discussion and Conclusions. As regards the remaining types of articles, the text should follow an appropriate layout to meet the article demands. References: Any references in the text, the tables and the figure legends are cited by arabic numerals in brackets. Any dots or commas appear after the bracketed reference. The references are numbered consecutively in the order of appearance. All references mentioned in the text are included in the reference list which appears on a separate page after the end of the text. Every reference in the list should be preceded by the number it is identified with in the main text. The reference list should be organised in the following sequence: names of the authors (surname, first name followed by a comma, then surname of the next author and so on), colon (:), title of the article, period (.), abbreviation of the journal, year, semi colon (;),volume, issue in brackets, colon and pages (first page and last page separated by a slash). Titles of Greek journals should be abbreviated in accordance with the IATROTEK list. The use of summaries, unpublished comments or personal communications as references should be avoided. Hellenic Stomatological Review should be abbreviated as Hel Stom Rev. Papers accepted for publication, though not published yet, can be included in the reference list. In this case, the phrase under publication in brackets is added. If the the reference list contains articles from journals using a language of latin origin with language-specific features (German, Scandinavian, French), the authors are responsible for word stress. An example of correct reference presentation is as follows: Journals: The authors surnames and initials appear first (unless there are more than six authors in which case the fifth name is followed by et al), followed by the title of the paper, the journal abbreviation, the year, the volume, the issue and, finally, the first and last page of the publication. E.g. Papagiannoulis L, Kakaboura A, Eliades G: In vivo Vs in Vitro anticariogenic behavior of glassionomer and resin composite restorative materials. Dent Mater 2002; 18 (8): 561-569. Books and other monographs: The authors surnames and initials appear first followed by the title of the book, the number of publication and the city of publication. Next comes the publisher, the year (colon) and the page. E.g. Ryge GM: Dental Corrosion. 2nd ed. New York. Harper and Row. 1985: 204. If the reference corresponds to a chapter from a book written by another author, it should appear as follows: Johnston AJ: Corrosion Resistance of Amalgams. In: Goldman AK, Johns KO, eds. Restorative Materials, Baltimore. Williams and Wilkins Co., 1984-87. Websites: E.g. http://www.eudental.org/Community strategy concerning mercury, as it appears in (search date). The Editoral Board strongly encourages the authors to include references to high quality Greek articles related to the topic under discussion, if possible. English summary: It includes the names of the authors and the title of the paper in English. In literature reviews the summary should present data on all the chapters it includes as well as the conclusions. In research papers the summary includes the introduction, the aim, the materials and methods, the results, the conclusions and the discussion. A summary should be 250 to 300 words long. Tables: They are typed on a separate page including the legend. The legend should be concise and comprehensive. The tables are numbered with Arabic numerals which are also used for citation in the text. Any explanations of the abbreviations or other clarifications appear at the end of the table. Illustrative material: Any figures, diagrams and photographs should be attached to the manuscript and be high-resolution files. Figure legends are numbered consecutively on a separate page during the submission process of the paper. Colour images are possible to print. Authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief and send the colour images electronically. The images should be scanned at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, in JPG format and should not be included in the main document submitted for publication. In case a patients face is visible in the image the Editorial Board anonymises it, prior to publication, through a black band across the eyes to protect patient confidentiality. The review process is assigned to two reviewers selected by the Editorial Board. The Editorial Board of the Journal reserves the right to suggest revisions or reject articles which have failed to comply with the instructions for authors. It is the authors responsibility to check for typographical errors within 2 weeks from the submission date of the manuscript. After the paper has been formatted in columns no modifications are accepted. Copyrights to all published articles, images and diagrams are assigned to the Journal.

These deficits can be reconstructed with bone grafts. Autogenous, allografts, xenogenous and alloplastic are the types of bone grafts. The purpose of this paper is to present possible complications of harvesting of autogenous bone grafts, which in this case is a fracture of the mandible and its management. A 28 years old woman suffered a delayed fracture of the mandible which was in the post- which also was the area of the bone donor region. The bone graft was obtained in order to reconstruct a bone deficit in the anterior region of the maxilla, for future implant * O‰ÔÓÙ›·ÙÚÔ˜ ** E›Î.

INTRODUCTION Successful osseointegration of dental implants requires sufficient bone surrounding the implant. However, preimplant surgery, can provide the appropriate bone volume for implant placement, in cases of reduced bone substrate, by placing bone graft1. The types of bone grafts are the following: the autogenous grafts, the allogenous grafts, the xenogenous grafts and the alloplastic grafts. The selection of bone graft depends on the size and shape of the defecit, the quantity and quality of bone and mainly the biological behaviour of the graft. Autogenous grafts are the most common choices because of their osteogenic properties, especially in areas of small defects. The use of osseointegrated implants along with autogenous bone grafts, first discussed by Branemark and his colleagues and is still considered the gold standard in pre-implant surgery1, 2. The purpose of this paper is to present the management of mandibular fracture which was a delayed complication of pre-implant surgery. The complications of intraoral autogenous bone graft harvesting and the use of Plasma Rich Growth Factor (PRGF) are also discussed. CASE REPORT A 28-year-old female patient, was referred to a private oral and maxillofacial surgical clinic for the management of a right angle mandibular fracture. The patient reported free medical history, no allergies and no use of smoking. The patient reported that one month ago she underwent a surgical extraction of the impacted right third molar (48) and simultaneous autogenous bone graft harvesting from the same area. The graft was obtained for reconstruction of a bone defect of the anterior maxilla of missing tooth 12, in order to an implant to be placed later on. After a month of bone harvesting procedure, during mastication the patient felt severe pain in the area of the right angle of the mandible and subsequently swelling and distortion of the occlusion was developed. After the initial dental examination, the patient was referred to the maxillofacial surgeon for further evaluation and management. The clinical examination revealed swelling of the right angle of the mandible, trismus, malocclusion and pain on palpation. The patient did not report any signs of hypoesthesia in the distribution of the lower right trigeminal nerve.

The treatment of choice was closed reduction with intramaxillary fixation using Erich arch-bars fixed with circumdental wires and orthodontic elastic bands. Under local anaesthesia (xylocaine 2% with adrenaline 1:100.000) with intravenous sedation the Erich arch bars were placed around the maxillary and mandibular teeth.

The extraoral sites for bone graft harvesting are the anterior and posterior iliac crest, the tibial bone and the calvarial bone. The intra-oral sites include the mandibular symphysis, the mandibular ramus and body, the mandibular coronoid process and the zygomatic buttress2, 3. However, the use of intra-oral grafts have more advantages than the extra-oral grafts. The reasons are the technical ease, the reduced number of complications, as patients do not require hospitalization, and the absence of scar at the end of surgery. Also important advantages are the proximity between donor and receiving area and the fact that general anaesthesia is not necessary and subsequently the duration of surgery is reduced. However, a disadvantage is the limited amount of bone which can be obtained, without exceeding acceptable donor site morbidity3. Among the intra-oral donor sites, the mandibular ramus and the madibular symphysis have the advantages of better quality and more sufficient quantity comparing to the other sites3, 4. Clavero and Lundgren3 in their study, compared the morbidity and the complications of mandibular donor areas. The result of this study was that patients in whom mandibular ramus was the donor site suffered less Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 73-78, 2013 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚ›ÙˆÛ˘ Case report ¯‹˜, Èı·ÓÔÏÔÁÂ›Ù·È Ë ·Ô‰˘Ó¿ÌˆÛ‹ Ù˘ ·fi ÙËÓ Ù·˘Ùfi¯ÚÔÓË Ï‹„Ë ÙÔ˘ ·˘ÙÔÌÔۯ‡̷ÙÔ˜ Î·È ÙËÓ ¯ÂÈÚÔ˘ÚÁÈ΋ ÂÍ·ÁˆÁ‹ ÙÔ˘ Û‡ÛÙÔÈ¯Ô˘ ÂÁÎÏ›ÛÙÔ˘ ÛˆÊÚÔÓÈÛÙ‹Ú·, Ô ÔÔ›Ô˜ ηٷϿ̂·Ó ۯ‰fiÓ fiÏÔ ÙÔ ‡„Ô˜ Ù˘ ÁÓ¿ıÔ˘. ™ÙËÓ Û˘ÁÎÂÎÚÈ̤ÓË ÂÚ›ÙˆÛË, Ë ÂÈÏÔÁ‹ ›Ù Ù˘ ÂÚÈÔ¯‹˜ Ù˘ Û‡ÌÊ˘Û˘ ›Ù ϤÔÓ ¿ˆ Ù˘ ÂÚÈÔ¯‹˜ ÙÔ˘ ÂÁÎÏ›ÛÙÔ˘ 48 ı· ‹Ù·Ó ηٷÏÏËÏfiÙÂÚË. ¶›Ó·Î·˜ 1: ¶·Ú¿ÁÔÓÙ˜ ÎÈÓ‰‡ÓÔ˘ ÁÈ· οٷÁÌ· ÛÙËÓ Î¿Ùˆ ÁÓ¿ıÔ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Particularly, harvesting bone from the mandibular ramus can lead to hypoesthesia of the buccinator nerve and difficulties in executing operational needs such as chewing. In contrast, bone from the mandibular symphysis may cause hypoesthesia of the mental nerve, necrosis of anterior teeth of the mandible and severe postoperative pain. On the other hand, Pikos2, in his study indicates reduced possibility of infection and of permanent neurosensory damage in a rate of <1%, by harvesting bone from both mandibular symphysis and mandibular ramus. He supported also the occurrence of 60% of postoperative trismus after ramus bone harvesting, which disappears after 4 weeks. Also, the same paper stated that the incidence of transient paresthesia is lower when mandibular symphysis is used as a donor site comparing to ramus. In conclusion, the quality of the bone is similar both in ramus and in mandibular symphysis, whereas the ramus has more advantages, such as the increased amount of bone that may be obtained and the reduced risk of nerve injury. Fracture of the mandible is a rare complication in preimplant surgery. The risk factors for mandibular fracture are shown in table 16. Fractures of the mandibular angle associated with third molar removal are generally avoidable when precise preoperative clinical and radiographic evaluation are completed. In our case the post extraction panoramic x-ray revealed that the simultaneous extraction of the impacted third molar and the harvesting of the bone graft led to weakening of the area which a normal daily activity caused the fracture.

Older patient Dense bone and small mandible Metabolic bone disease Osteomyelitis Associated odontogenic pathology Third molar occupies the height of jaw Injudicious surgical forces Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial effect of platelet factor PRGF (Plasma Rich Growth Factor) in the healing process7. The preparation of the PRGF technique is quite simple. Initially, 10-15cc of patient’s blood are obtained and thereafter the blood is placed in a centrifuge where platelet poor plasma, red blood cells sediment and fibrin membrane PRGF are produced. The PRGF is a material with a lot of applications enhancing the healing process. It is an autologous fibrin gel membrane, which gradually releases growth and mitotic factors, inducing thereby modulation osteogenesis and angiogenesis in8. Also, it is very important that it exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and 77 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚ›ÙˆÛ˘ Case report ÔıÂÙËıÔ‡Ó ÂÌÊ˘Ù‡̷ٷ Û ÂÚÈÙÒÛÂȘ ÔÛÙÈÎÔ‡ ÂÏÏ›ÌÌ·ÙÔ˜ Î·È ÂÊ·ÚÌfi˙ÂÙ·È Ï¤ÔÓ Ì ÌÂÁ¿ÏË ÂÈÙ˘¯›·. øÛÙfiÛÔ, ˘¿Ú¯ÂÈ ¿ÓÙ· Ë Èı·ÓfiÙËÙ· ÂÌÊ¿ÓÈÛ˘ ÂÈÏÔÎÒÓ Î·È Ë ÂÈÏÔÁ‹ Ù˘ ηٿÏÏËÏ˘ ‰fiÙÚÈ·˜ ÂÚÈÔ¯‹˜ ı· Ú¤ÂÈ Ó· ‚·Û›˙ÂÙ·È ÛÙË ÛˆÛÙ‹ ·ÍÈÔÏfiÁËÛË Î·È ÂÎÙ›ÌËÛË Ù˘ ÂοÛÙÔÙ ‰fiÙÚÈ·˜ ÂÚÈÔ¯‹˜.

Escherichia coli, and antiinflammatory activity by blockade of MCP-1 protein and the production of lipoxin A4. Thus, patients taking any of the PRGF products generally have lower levels of inflammation and reduced postoperative pain during the postoperative period9, 10. In our case, PRGF was an auxiliary tool in the management of the fracture. The choice of treatment was the conservative approach using closed reduction with intramaxillary fixation because the fracture was not severily displaced with slight malloclusion. Choosing also this treatment general anesthesia and hospitalization were avoided. BIB§IO°PAºIA The pre-implant surgery is a necessary process in order to place implants in cases of a bone defect. The autogenous grafts are considered to be the best choice, regarding the quality of the graft. However, there is always the possibility of complications and it is very important to select the accurate and suitable donor area, based on specific criteria.The mandibular ramus overweights over the other intraoral donor sites as the most reliable source, especially in cases of small bone defects. Finally, the platelet factor PRGF is a promising choice in enhancing the healing process of fractures. 1. Sittitavornwong Somsak, Gutta Rajesh: Bone graft harvesting from regional sites.

The good longevity of such restorations can be guaranteed by recall and maintenance appointments that should be discussed further with the patient. Key Words: esthetic anterior zone, smile design, direct bonding, diastema closure, veneers, Angle Class II bite INTRODUCTION Establishing ideal function and esthetics in a smile has been a challenge for clinicians the past twenty years, especially when orthodontic intervention is not enough or not accepted by patients for various reasons. Recent advances in composite resins and adhesive protocols have expanded the restorative options. Used in combination with proper treatment planning, these innovations enable dental professionals to provide enhanced aesthetic care by using minimally invasive techniques1. The idea of “minimal invasion” includes smaller tooth preparations, direct bonding without excessive removal of dental tissue, adhesive dental materials and repairs rather than replacements when feasible1. In such cases, dentists have full artistic control over the aesthetic outcome of the restorations resulting in a smile that can mimic if needed or improve pre-existing conditions2. The most important advantage of direct bonding is that it can be applied in a single dental visit and usually without anesthesia. The tooth is prepared with an appropriate amount of enamel structure removed if/when necessary, so as to permit material placement without making the tooth too bulky2. After the application of an acidic and a bonding agent, resin is formed into the shape desired. Due to material evolution, composite resins are available in many shades, hues, translucency and opacity types, which in combination can mimic the appearance of natural teeth3, 4. Once satisfactory completed, the tooth is polished and functionally ready. Current developments in adhesive techniques and materials allow the clinician to achieve successful bonding to enamel and dentin, so that the potential of microleakage, subsequent caries and staining is reduced. Furthermore, stress distribution at the margin between composite resin and the tooth is more evenly distributed, contributing in the increase of restoration longevity5. One of the main challenges in these procedures is selecting composites that have adequate strength and provide natural optical properties that render the restoration functionally sound and esthetically pleasing, especially in the anterior zone1. Composites currently used for anterior aesthetic restorations are characterized by different mechanical and physical properties, as well as handling characteristics. Nanofills have shown excellent esthetics, improved mechanical properties, better handling, and polishability than previous used hybrids. Like nanofills, nanohybrids can be polished to a relatively smooth finish Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 79-90, 2013 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report T· Û‡Á¯ÚÔÓ· Û˘ÛÙ‹Ì·Ù· Û˘ÁÎfiÏÏËÛ˘ ÂÈÙÚ¤Ô˘Ó ÈηÓÔÔÈËÙÈÎfi ‰ÂÛÌfi ÙˆÓ Û˘Óı¤ÙˆÓ ÚËÙÈÓÒÓ Ì ÙËÓ ·‰·Ì·ÓÙ›ÓË Î·È ÙËÓ Ô‰ÔÓÙ›ÓË, ÒÛÙ ӷ ÌÂÈÒÓÂÙ·È Ë Èı·ÓfiÙËÙ· ÌÈÎÚԉțۉ˘Û˘, ‰ËÌÈÔ˘ÚÁ›·˜ ‰Â˘ÙÂÚÔÁÂÓÔ‡˜ ÙÂÚˉfiÓ·˜ Î·È ¯ÚÒÛ˘ ÛÙ· fiÚÈ· Ù˘ ·ÔηٿÛÙ·Û˘.

Their handling properties are extremely conducive to direct resin stratification techniques. Although microfilled composites have shown lower fracture resistance and fatigue in comparison with the more heavily filled previous mentioned composites, it is generally accepted that they polish extremely well and can retain their surface smoothness over time. For these reasons, they are indicated for resin veneers, as the last material layer, in cases when bruxism is not present2, 6. Techniques on restoring teeth with direct composite veneers have also evolved, with sophisticated bonding and stratification procedures. “Freehand” techniques offer a great deal of creativity4. Furthermore, the lingual silicone matrix technique can be extremely effective in guiding the clinical reproduction of the ideal proportions, shapes, and anatomy created in the diagnostic wax up and saving invaluable chair side time5. Using a case presentation, this article documents the steps required to harmoniously integrate smile design with direct composite resins in the provision of aesthetic dental care in the anterior zone of a class II bite occlusion status. CASE DESCRIPTION A 22-year-old female patient presented in the graduate clinic of the dental School of Athens, with the right maxillary lateral incisor endodontically treated and restored with labial and palatal resin composite nine years ago in the form of a canine. One year before the first visit of the patient in the clinic, she underwent intracoronal bleaching in a private office, but discoloration reappeared after 8 months from completion of the treatment. She also desired aesthetic enhancement of her entire smile. Her medical history was noncontributory and oral hygiene was excellent. The patient had no abrasive habits and was not a bruxist. She did not smoke and claimed to drink at least two cup of coffees per day, although her natural teeth were not stained. Comprehensive clinical examination revealed that the discolored tooth #12 did not have the typical morphology of a maxillary lateral incisor and that multiple diastemas were present in all upper anterior teeth. It was also observed that the incisal part of the maxillary canines were sharp while tooth #14 was introverted. Cervical embrasures were evaluated and imbalance between #12 and #22 was noticed. Both patient and dentist agreed that the imbalance was not aesthetically involved when she talks or smiles. Her occlusion was Angle class II and vertical overbite of 3,6mm was measured (Fig. 1, 2). Examining the occlusion of the patient it was revealed that no temporomandibular joint pathology was present. In lateral excursions, canine rise was present bilaterally. In protrusion, only teeth #11 and #41 were in contact. Posterior disclusion existed in both lateral and protrusive movements. 81 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report EÈÎ. 1: ¶ÚÔÛÙÔÌȷΤ˜ Î·È fiÌÔÚ˜ fi„ÂȘ. (A. ™˘ÁÎÏÂÈÛȷ΋ fi„Ë.

She was already under orthodontic treatment 8 years ago and did not wish to undergo the same procedure. At the same time, she refused the solution of ceramic veneers due firstly to their cost and secondly to the minimal intervention on tooth structure offered by resin veneers. Models of the patients existing dentition status were subsequently mounted in a semi-adjustable articulator, where the six teeth were waxed up to ideal length, occlusion, and contour (Fig. 1). This wax-up was captured in an impression (Fig. 3) and used in a second appointment so as to mock-up the planned restorations with resins intraoral in order to give patient a clinical impression of the final result. The clinical mock-up was made without bonding, in order to be easily removed after the completion of the diagnostic clinical appointment. This step allowed the practitioner to check every tooth’s position, length and occlusion. The class II bite relationship, allowed the dentist to restore all teeth to the ideal shape and length without occlusal interventions. All necessary alterations in the mock up were made in order to have the maximum aesthetic result. The procedure finished when both dentist and patient were satisfied by the outcome. This step is regarded as invaluable in patients with sensitive aesthetic expectations since it facilitates Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 79-90, 2013 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report EÈÎ. 2:.

When all relevant information and details were discussed and determined, a polyvinylsiloxane impression of the palatal surfaces of the anterior teeth, canine and premolars was performed in order to formulate the final treatment plan organized for a next appointment. – Technical procedure: Determination of the tooth shade was performed early afternoon under controlled room illumination and a relevant chromatic map was designed (Fig. 2). For all teeth the required preparation design was a simple facial beveling for concealing the transition line between the natural tooth structures and the resin materials upon placement and polymerization. The bevels were also extended through the interproximal areas in order to enhance bonding and allow the gap closure by resin. The incisal edge of teeth #13 and #23 was reduced.

The cellouloid tape was placed without a wedge (in order to avoid bleeding) using blocking resin as a barrier material. Alternatively, a small amount of an old resin material photopolymerized in place or blocking resin, can also be used for holding a partial metallic tape placed vertically in the working area and blocking the gap in the form needed (Fig. 4). Prior to the restorative procedure, 30 seconds of etching with 37% phosphoric acid, followed by thorough rinsing with water spray, was applied. Then, an adhesive system (Xp Bond, Dentsply Int.) was applied according to manufacturer’s directions of use. Where only enamel type resin was needed (like interproximal and inscisal areas) a microfill resin (B1 Body type) (Renamel Microfill, Cosmedent, USA) was used. Only in the incisal part of the tooth #21, where reinforcement was needed in order to augment the length of the tooth, the nanofill B1 Body type (Renamel Nano, Cosmedent, USA) was placed (Fig. 2). Different sizes of resin brushes (No. 1,3, Cosmedent, USA) and special very thin instruments (IPCL, IPCT, Cosmedent, USA) were used in order to shape the material in the interproximal areas (Fig. 4). For the tooth #12, pink opaque shade (Renamel Pink Opaque, Cosmedent, USA) was used to cover the underlying discoloration by forming a thin uniformed layer. The shade was placed twice in order to better cover the discoloration of this specific tooth. Then, a 0.3 mm layer of nanofill B1 shade resin was placed and photopolymerized. Finally, a microfill B1 shade 0.2mm layer covered the whole veneer. All layers were photopolymerized with a led lamp for 20sec (TechnoGaz, Italy). The last layer was photopolymerized for 40sec for better polymerization and thus better polishing effect according to manufacturers directions of use. – Finishing and polishing Finishing followed the stratification technique, in order to accomplish contouring, shaping and smoothing of the restorations and to remove excess at the tooth-restoration Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 79-90, 2013 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report ‰ÔÓÙÈÔ‡, ÙÔÔıÂÙ‹ıËΠӷÓfiÎÔÎÎË ÚËÙ›ÓË (B1 Body type, Renamel Nano, Cosmedent, USA) (EÈÎ. 2).

This step was followed by using a tungsten 16blade carbide bur with plenty of water for teeth restored so as to modify the restorations to the proper geometric outline form, including the proper line angles, primary and secondary anatomy. Polishing took place after finishing for giving the surfaces high luster and enamel-like texture. Using a low-speed handpiece, with a complete sequence of aluminum oxide discs (Flexidiscs, Cosmedent, USA), circular movements and without water-cooling, resulted in smooth surface’s appearance.

Finally, for all teeth, plastic interproximal strips (Flexistrips, Cosmedent) were used so as to achieve the ideal polished surface in this stainsusceptible zone. In this point, it is considered very important to thoroughly examine the convenience of the dental floss in passing through the interproximal areas in order to avoid debonding or fractures of the restorations. A polishing paste (Enamelize, Cosmedent, USA) applied to all surfaces with a special polishing buffering disk included in the previous mentioned polishing system, added gloss to the final restorations. Once the teeth were in detail examined and no alterations were suggested from the patient, photos were taken for self-evaluation and a recall appointment was set after a week. As most of the water sorption can be observed during the first week of resin placement3, 4, the final polishing procedures can be performed in a second visit in order to get a more esthetic view5. In this case, this delayed finishing/polishing procedures over the veneers resulted in a glossier surface (Fig. 5). Information on maintenance procedures were given in written to the patient with special care on habits during anterior biting. Recall appointment was set after six months7. DISCUSSION Restoring teeth using direct composite veneers can be quite a challenging procedure for a clinician. Achieving natural colour blending, masking dark teeth and providing a natural finish require meticulous placement with the appropriate composite opacities and shades, the proper layering technique and finishing with specific systems. Critical self-evaluation, especially using digital photography, documentation, and follow-up visits are critical to ensure an esthetic outcome3, 4. Oral maintenance of the veneers in biologically esthetically and operating accepted conditions depends on the oral hygiene habits of the patient. Patients should be informed in advance that shade and texture of the material will change over time and periodic maintenance is required. In long term evaluation of resin restorations, three types of resin composite discolorations have been described: a) external discolorations owing to the accumulation of plaque and surface stains; b) surface or subsurface color alterations, implying a superficial degradation or a slight penetration and reaction of staining agents within the superficial layer of resin composites (adsorption); and c) body or intrinsic discolorations owing to physicochemical reactions in the deeper portions of the restoration. External and surface discolorations are closely related to hygiene, diet and smoking habits7. Intrinsic colour instability and staining due to smoke is also a well-known problem with resin composites. Smokers should be informed preoperatively for the potential staining and the need for frequent recalls and may be presented with the alternative Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 79-90, 2013 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report EÈÎ. 5: TÔ ¯·ÌfiÁÂÏÔ Ù˘ ·ÛıÂÓÔ‡˜ (A. ¶ÚÈÓ, B.

On the other hand, tannins, caffeine, tartaric acid and phenols, as secondary metabolites found in coffee, tea and red wine, are predominantly responsible for staining, as well as secondarily the turmeric solution, orange juice and cola. The presence of sugar in coffee and tea increases the color difference compared to coffee or tea without sugar for light-polymerized composite materials7. Of course, the degree of staining differs among composite brands thus manufacturers’ recommendations should be followed during placement and photopolymerization steps. Also, the surface roughness and gloss of composite materials changes with brushing time, with hybrid composite resins being more prone to surface changes than microfilled ones8. Evaluation of prior anterior resin restorations can be a guide for the clinician to estimate the potential occurrence of stains and discolorations. During recall appointments, there are two main ways to remove superficial stains from resin composites: repolishing or repair1. The recommended interval between oral health appointments should be determined specifically for each patient on the basis of an assessment of his oral habits and general dental condition. During an oral health interview, the clinician should ensure that comprehensive 87 ¶·ÚÔ˘Û›·ÛË ¶ÂÚÈÛÙ·ÙÈÎÔ‡ Case Report ‰Ô ÙÔ˘ ¯ÚfiÓÔ˘. ™Â Ì·ÎÚÔÚfiıÂÛÌË ·ÍÈÔÏfiÁËÛË ·ÔηٷÛÙ¿ÛÂˆÓ Û‡ÓıÂÙ˘ ÚËÙ›Ó˘, ÙÚÂȘ Ù‡ÔÈ ·Ô¯ÚˆÌ·ÙÈÛÌÒÓ ¤¯Ô˘Ó ÂÚÈÁÚ·Ê› Î·È ÚÔÙ›ÓÂÙ·È Ó· ·ÍÈÔÏÔÁÔ‡ÓÙ·È: 1) Â͈ÙÂÚÈΤ˜ ‰˘Û¯ÚˆÌ›Â˜ ÏfiÁˆ Ù˘ Û˘ÛÛÒÚ¢Û˘ Ͽη˜ Î·È ÂÈÊ·ÓÂÈ·ÎÒÓ ¯ÚˆÛÙÈÎÒÓ, 2) ÂÈÊ·ÓÂȷΤ˜ ‹ ˘ÔÂÈÊ·ÓÂȷΤ˜ ·ÏÏ·Á¤˜, ˘ÔÓÔÒÓÙ·˜ ÌÈ· ÂÈÊ·ÓÂȷ΋ ˘Ô‚¿ıÌÈÛË ‹ ÌÈÎÚԉțۉ˘ÛË Î·È ·ÓÙ›‰Ú·ÛË ¯ÚˆÛÙÈÎÒÓ ·Ú·ÁfiÓÙˆÓ ÂÓÙfi˜ ÙÔ˘ ÂÈÊ·ÓÂÈ·ÎÔ‡ ÛÙÚÒÌ·ÙÔ˜ Ù˘ Û‡ÓıÂÙ˘ ÚËÙ›Ó˘ (ÚÔÛÚÚfiÊËÛË) Î·È 3) ÂÓ‰ÔÁÂÓ›˜ ·Ô¯ÚˆÌ·ÙÈÛÌÔ‡˜ ‹ ·Ô¯ÚˆÌ·ÙÈÛÌÔ‡˜ ÙÔ˘ ΢ڛˆ˜ ÛÒÌ·ÙÔ˜ Ù˘ ÚËÙ›Ó˘ ÏfiÁˆ Ê˘ÛÈÎÔ¯ËÌÈÎÒÓ ·ÓÙȉڿÛÂˆÓ ÛÙ· ‚·ı‡ÙÂÚ· ÛÙÚÒÌ·Ù· ÙÔ˘ ˘ÏÈÎÔ‡.

This will allow the dentist and the patient to discuss factors that can affect resin restorations as mentioned above. All relevant information will be used to assess the appropriate recall interval, the patient’s ability or desire to visit the dentist at the recommended interval and any financial costs consequent to the recall visits. So far there is little existing evidence to support the practice of every 6-months’ dental appointment, but most clinicians do so3-6. As the concept of minimally invasive dentistry expands amongst dentists, it is very important to proceed to restorations repair before replacing them, extending the longevity of dental restorations and reducing detrimental effects on teeth, thereby serving the interests of patients1. Restorations on central incisors and small unilateral restorations generally show the best esthetic performance. Loss of anatomical form due to wear is the main reason for esthetic failure. Minor failure requiring repair or refinishing is presented mainly as wear, marginal discoloration or marginal fracture and can be easily carried out in recall appointments9. It should be noted that veneers on non-vital teeth generally show higher risk of failure than veneers placed on vital teeth which is an important parameter to consider when choosing a treatment plan. This may be attributed to the relatively low bond strength achieved in non vital teeth than vital ones9 and should be taken under consideration when finalizing the treatment plan. Generally, direct anterior restorations seem to have a high successful rate of survival9. In a retrospective evaluation, estimating 5-year survival rates, almost 80% for direct composite resin buildups were found10. This finding corresponds to the outcome of a prospective clinical evaluation of 87 direct composite buildups over 5 years with a survival rate of 89%11. Finally, the results of a retrospective study showed that the choice of material (direct composite resin vs porcelain) when constructing maxillary anterior veneers does not significantly affect the patient’s perception of cosmetic improvement. However, given the choice and information, patients seemed to prefer the composite veneer option as a more conservative technique12. The following conclusions should finally be suggested concerning the case: 1) Even in difficult occlusal status such as II anterior bites, direct bonding is suggested as a minimally interventional approach in closing diastemas or altering the shape of teeth in the anterior region, 2) Direct intraoral diagnostic resin-up can give a better view on the clinical outcome in demanding aesthetic situations, 3) The appropriate use of materials and techniques can guarantee a good aesthetic clinical outcome, 4) Careful maintenance from the patient and the dentist through recall appointments can assure a long lasting aesthetic effect.

There are several systems available for the construction of all-ceramic crowns and bridges. One of the most sophisticated systems is the Monolithic Zirconia all ceramic material. This present clinical case concerns a 51-year old female patient who presented to the Undergraduate Dental Clinic of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with the desire to restore her mandibular teeth. The patient had several functional and esthetic problems as well as allergy to metals, except for gold and silver, requesting metal free restorations. As a result, the treatment plan consisted of a full fixed mandibular restoration, using the Monolithic Zirconia all ceramic system as a veneering material. * O‰ÔÓÙ›·ÙÚÔ˜, AfiÊÔÈÙË EK¶A ** AÓ.

Land, and it is known as the «jacket» crown1. Since then, all ceramic restorations have become an integral part of dentistry and are used as veneers, inlays, onlays, and crown and bridge restorations2. Until recently, there were many disadvantages concerning their use, such as brittleness, low fracture toughness, and complex laboratory construction2. However, with the advent of Zirconia materials, their construction became simpler and their mechanical properties greatly improved2. Zirconium is a shiny grey-white metal3 and Zirconia Oxide (ZrO2) is a material that offers good mechanical properties. It may exist in several crystal phases, depending in the addition of components like calcia (CaO) or Magnesia (MgO). The structure of Zirconia has the ability to inhibit cracks. Thus, it presents tensile strength and flexural stability. Furthermore, it presents fracture toughness, high hardness, excellent chemichal resistance, biocompatibility and color, simulating the color of the original teeth3, 4, 5. It can be used for the construction of single crowns, or for the construction of crown and bridge restorations up to five or six units5. However, its opaque core makes Zirconia restorations less esthetic than the other All-ceram systems5. The first Zirconia system available was In Ceram Zirkonia® (Vita Zanhfabrick, Germany), while with the development of the CAD-CAM system; its properties were continuously improved6. First, the crowns of Zirconia consisted of a core, on which the restoration was «built». However, this has always been the drawback of these restorations, since the ceramic material was torn off from the Zirconium core and as a result, it led to fractures4. The solution came with the advent of the Monolithic Zirconia; in which the crowns consisted of just one monolithic body of Zirconia witch incorporated the core and the built up in one body7. CLINICAL REPORT PRETREATMENT A female patient, 51 years old, married, has presented for treatment to the Undergraduate Dental Clinic of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, with the desire to restore her mandible having functional and esthetic problems. The vertical dimension was reduced and the incisal edges of the lower anterior teeth were severely worn since they had to antagonize the upper anterior ceramometal restorations. The patient had allergy to metals, except for silver and gold, and was seeking for metal free restorations. Intraoral examination revealed: - Generalized, moderate periodontitis - Maxillary teeth had been recently restored (2 years ago). Teeth #12, #11, #21, #22 and #23 had fixed metalceramic crowns witch supported a maxillary flexible removable partial denture made from Valplast (Valplast International Corporation, Westbury, NY, USA). - Mandibular teeth #47, #46 and #36, had been extracted and the teeth #48 and #37 had carious lesions.

The post and core restoration consisted of a fiberglass post and a posterior composite resin built up respectively. Initial maxillary and mandibular irreversible hydrocolloid impressions (Jeltrate Plus; Dentsply Caulk, Milford, Delaware) were taken and sent to the dental laboratory. A deprogrammer was fabricated from autopolymerized acrylic resin (GC Pattern Resin, GC Dental Products Gorp, Tokyo, Japan) in order to obtain accurate and reliable centric relation records, since vertical dimension had to be increased. The centric relation was recorded in the increased vertical dimension with the use of the deprogrammer and a dimensionally stable, fast-setting elastomeric bite registration material (Blue mousse, Parkell Inc., Edgewood, NY, USA). The casts were mount on a semi-adjustable articulator (Denar Mark II, Whip Mix Corporation, Fort Collins, CO, USA) in the increased vertical dimension using these bite registration records. A full mandibular diagnostic wax up was performed, it was duplicated, new casts were fabricated and an Omnivac matrix was made in order to fabricate temporary restorations intraorally. Initial preparations were made for the posterior teeth #48, #45, #44, #35 and #37, and temporary bridges were constructed intraorally using cold cure autopolymerizing acrylic resin (Lang Dental Manufacturing Co., Inc., Wheeling, IL.) in the increased vertical dimension, using the laboratory matrix on the anterior teeth. Having good repeatable and stable posterior contacts, patient left the clinic, and returned the next day for the preparation of the anterior teeth and the fabrication of the anterior temporary crowns (Fig. 7).

Long span restorations has always been a problem when using Zirconia, with a reduced success rate over the years9. Monolithic Zirconia seems to be the solution to this problem7, 10. Margin preparation for Zirconia restorations varies from shoulder to feather edge11, 12. Chamfer tooth preparation is the finish line of choice since it results in restoration’s structural strength providing for conservative tooth preparation removal at the same time. The above become more important since anterior teeth are involved in the treatment. These lower anteriors are preparation sensitive, since over preparation leads to root canal. Final impression making requires clean tooth preparation, and the use of retraction cord13 (Ultrapak, Ultradent Product Inc., South Jordan, Utah, USA) using the double cord technique14. Retraction cord #00 is packed at the bottom of the sulcus for all teeth to control bleeding. Cord #2 is used for molars, #1 for premolars and #0 for anterior teeth in order to have sufficient tissue retraction and full exposure of the preparation finish line. The final cementation of all ceramic restorations is technique sensitive and must always be done with caution, since it requires complete moisture control. Zirconia restorations do not require HF acid treatment, but sandblasting can enhance adhesion instead15. Silane coupling agent is applied internally in the restoration for 1 minute and then dried using the air syringe16. Dual cure adhesive resin cement is used (Panavia F, Kuraray America Inc., New York, NY, USA) for the final cementation of Zirconia restorations17, 18. The esthetic result has been excellent, and the patient completely satisfied. Literature concerning Monolithic Zirconia restorations is scarce, especially for such long span restorations. Yearly recall appointments are scheduled for this patient in order to record the longevity of the restoration and provide literature with the results. REFERENCES 1.

Zirconia (pure ZrO2), is derived from the gemstones zirconite and baddeleyite. The use of zirconia in biomedical applications started in total hip femoral head replacement. Zirconia crystallizes in cubic, tetragonal and monoclinic form depending on temperature. For ceramics with the optimum mechanical properties the stabilization of the tetragonal phase at room temperature is a prerequisite, and is performed with various stabilizing oxides e.g. cerium and yttrium (Y2O3, CeO2). Three types of zirconia are used in Dentistry, the fully stabilized tetragonal zirconia, the partially stabilized zirconia and the alumina -reinforced zirconia. Fully stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics exhibit high mechanical properties, but present two main drawbacks: uncontrolled growth of the monoclinic phase, which can lead to prema- * O‰ÔÓÙ›·ÙÚÔ˜, ¶ÚÔÛıÂÙÔÏfiÁÔ˜ À¢ μÈÔ¸ÏÈÎÒÓ ∂∫¶∞ ** O‰ÔÓÙ›·ÙÚÔ˜, ∞Ó. ∫·ıËÁËÙ‹˜ O‰ÔÓ.

In dentistry they have been used for the construction of all ceramic crowns and fixed partial dentures, aesthetic posts, inlay-supported or Maryland type partial dentures, as dental implants and abutments. The first 3- and 5year clinical studies are encouraging for the behavior of the material in the oral environment, with main complications being the restoration decementation, the chipping of the ceramic veneer and the fracture of connectors with small dimensions. The fact that there are no long-term studies on the clinical survival of zirconia restorations makes incomplete the documentation of the material for its total or partial acceptance as a viable alternative to the classic metal-ceramic restorations Key Words: zirconia, zirconium, monoclinic, properties, applications. INTRODUCTION In recent decades there have been significant changes in the field of dental science. A deeper investigation of phenomena and mechanisms related to the function of the stomatognathic system promoted many scientific fields such as prevention and treatment, and satisfied the innate human need for better aesthetics. The main treatment goal in dentistry, is to restore and maintain the therapeutic effect. Under this perspective, special role for many years hold restorative materials which as part of dental biomaterials are constantly evolving. Scientific results and long-term experiments are needed to test the reliability of dental materials. Today, there are materials that have provided services for many years in dentistry and continue to be considered reliable. A large research area in dental materials includes newly synthesized materials relying on existing basic structures that consist either evolutionary products is, or existing products that have been tested in different applications. Typical examples are the carbon fibers, which are used in various applications for mechanical or thermal reinforcement composites1 and the automotive industry. In dentistry they have been used as prefabricated posts. A lot of new studies continuously provide evidence-based knowledge concerning the need for replacement of older or current materials. Dental materials follow the rules dictated by their chemical composition and differ in physical, chemical, optical and mechanical properties. The deep knowledge of materials’ properties is the most important prerequisite for their correct application. In the field of restorative dentistry ceramic materials hold important position. A basic property but at the same time disadvantage of ceramics is their brittle nature which makes them brittle when they are deformed by more than 0,1%2.

The development of these materials has been rapid in recent years and the aim was to increase the strength and improve the aesthetics. The metal core of fixed prosthetic restorations continues to this day to be the most reliable solution to support ceramics. However, the need for better aesthetic performance of ceramic restorations led to efforts to replace the opaque metal core, which makes difficult to adapt the color of the natural tooth. For these reasons, all-ceramic systems were developed in dentistry with many different approaches3. The most recent approach is the use of zirconia ceramic (ZrO2),- materials that have been used in industry, in electronics and in medicine as a material of orthopedics4. Zirconia today holds a special position in the field of dentistry as it has exploited both in the field of restorative dentistry - mainly as a core material of ceramic restorations, as well as a biomaterial of osseointegrated dental implants. It began to spread in the dental field since 2000 with wider acceptance after 20105. HISTORY Zirconium is known as a gemstone since ancient times. The zirconium metal with atomic number 40, has taken its name from the Arabic word zargon which means gold in color and comes from the Persian words zar (gold) and gun (color). The zirconium dioxide called zirconia ZrO2 was discovered by the German chemist Martin Heirich Klaproth in 1789, who described it as a separate item without even have it in pure metallic form6 (Encyclopedia Britannica). Zirconia was isolated by firing certain gems and used for many years with rare earth oxides as pigments for ceramics7. In nature ZrO2 (Zirconia) is present in the form of a rare rock and derives its name from Joseph Baddeley8 who discovered the first rock in Sri Lanka in 1892. The isolation of the pure oxide (ZrO2) was achieved in 1824 by the Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Barzelius by heating a mixture of potassium chloride and zirconium. In pure metallic form it was introduced in 19249. Another rock is also zirconitis (ZrSiO4) found in rounded or prismatic brown crystals. Transparent and blue varieties used as gems are produced by heating natural zirconitis. Therefore, because the source of zirconium by vaddeleyitis from South Africa was insufficient for industrial production, manufacturers utilized the sand rich of zirconitis8. In 1899 Walther Nerst (Nobel Chemistry 1920) observed that the mixed oxide 15% by weight Y2O3-ZrO2 behaved as an oxygen ion conductor (O2-) at elevated temperatures. The industrial application of the solid oxide electrolyte fuel cells (SOFC) began with the discovery and the use of stabilized cubic zirconia as a semiconductor. Before 1975, its use was restricted to a very limited refractory uses, today it is used in a very wide range of applications in industry, household appliances, medicine and dentistry10. Since 1980 zirconia ceramics became popular due to their very low thermal conductivity and specific crystal structure, since major difficulties in their processing have overcome11. 103 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review 1892.

Consequently, it was proposed as a new material in 1989 for total hip arthroplasty. Since then, more than 600,000 zirconia heads are installed worldwide13, 14. Hitherto zirconia ceramic alloys are the strongest single phase oxide ceramics ever produced10. However in 2002 zirconia materials were heavily criticized in orthopedics. The reason was that a substantial number of femoral heads (400) under the brand name Prozyr Zirconia14 failed in function in 2001. Despite the fact that the causes of failures were investigated since then and the dimensional specifications for the heads were differentiated, from 2000 to today clinicians abandoned the use of zirconia in orthopedics. Nevertheless many efforts were made to introduce other composites of zirconia - alumina in orthopedics, which retain the advantages of zirconia and do not present the serious drawback of aging and low temperature degradation16. Unlike its use in dentistry has increased with an annual sales increase of 12%14. Zirconium as an element of the periodic table belongs to the IVB transition metals group. Characteristic of this group is that ions in conventional oxidation state have completed some subshell d17.The transition elements are used in many alloys and often form colored compounds. Their atoms have an unsupplemented inner cortex (layer) which has electron vacancies. At ambient temperature, it has a closed hexagonal crystal structure and physical and chemical properties similar to the titanium18. MATERIAL PRODUCTION Zirconium is strong, lustrous and corrosion resistant with atomic number 40 and atomic weight 91,229. It is abundant in nature, it ranks 18th in the amount of crust and its concentration is 130 mg/kg in the cortex and 0.026mg/L at sea19. Pure zirconium is present in crystalline form as white and malleable metal, and amorphous as a dark blue powder. There is no free pure zirconium in nature and it exists only as oxide or in combination with silicas9. The zircon is the main commercial source of zirconium and is found primarily in Australia, South Wales, Brazil, India and South Africa20. The annual world production of zirconium is 900.000 tonnes19. Zirconium has many similarities with the element Hf (Hafnium), which is attached to various minerals and their separation becomes difficult21. As a metal has many uses and applications in photographic flashes, surgical instruments and as a hardener of alloys in nuclear reactors18. Zirconium dioxide presents a white crystalline form called zirconia. Minerals that contain it are zircon (ZrSiO4) (Fig.1) and baddeleyte (ZrO2) (Fig. 2). Zirconia is oxidation resistable and does not react with acids and bases at room temperature with the exception of hydrogen fluoride (HF). It reacts with carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen at temperatures above 2200ÆC14.

The tetragonal is constant between 1170ÆC and 2370ÆC and gives the material improved mechanical properties. The cubic is stable at temperatures in excess of 2370ÆC until the melting point22 and has moderate mechanical properties. During the cooling of the material the phenomenon is reversed, and at the temperature 950ÆC the conversion of the tetragonal to monoclinic form starts7, 8. This phase transformation is followed by a change in volume of the material. During the conversion of the tetragonal to monoclinic (t-> m) phase a volume increase of about 4.5% is observed, while the respective volume change for the transformation of cubic to tetragonal (c-> t) is 2,31%29. A different transformation (c -> t) can cause the creation of a different t phase. This is known as t’, it is considered like t, but contains more yttrium, attains smaller crystal size and presents higher resistance to t->m phase transformation24. This type of transformation appears to limit the known negative consequences of the m phase development, during aging of zirconia at room temperature. First, there is lack of diffusion (they include coordinated changes in the positions of the crystal matrix without atomic moving). Second, they take place in a temperature range instead of a specific temperature and third, there is distortion of the shape25.This phenomenon was first observed in the iron - copper alloys by converting ostenite to martensite and the corresponding outstanding improvement of the mechanical properties of the alloy26 . PHASE STABILIZATION OXIDES Zirconia in order to provide the required properties needs the stabilization of the t- phase at ambient temperature. The presence of monoclinic zirconia is an obstacle to the creation of a durable ceramic that could be used in various applications. The volume variation due to the phase transformation creates cracks in the mass of the material by reducing its mechanical strength26. Efforts of chemical engineers began around 1972 when they discovered that alloying with lower valence oxides (CaO, MgO, La2O3, Y2O3) favored the cubic and quadratic form23. The stabilization of t zirconia is achieved by the replacement of Zr4 + ions from Y3 + in the matrix. The above leads to the formation of oxygen voids inside the crystal matrix which are known as oxygen vacancies and their mobility in the matrix causes ionic conductivity. In essence, with the addition of Y3 + lattice defects are generated. The phases formed are now similar to those of pure zirconia with the difference that the impurity - ion stabilizers replace Zr +4 ions create intracellular positions of oxygen ions in order to maintain neutrality when it comes to trivalent stabilizer (Fig. 4). A total of three mechanisms are taking place for the stabilization of the t- phase and the most common impurities or stabilizers are cerium dioxide (CeO2) and yttrium trioxide (Y2O3): a) trivalent ions which create Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review ÓÙˆÓ Ô͢ÁfiÓÔ˘ Ô˘ ·ÔÙÂÏÔ‡Ó ÙÔ˘˜ ÊÔÚ›˜ Ù˘ ·ÁˆÁÈÌfiÙËÙ·˜, Ë ÎÈÓËÙÈÎfiÙËÙ¿ ÙÔ˘˜ ÛÙÔ Ï¤ÁÌ· ·ÔÙÂÏ› ÙËÓ ÈÔÓÙÈ΋ ·ÁˆÁÈÌfiÙËÙ·. ™ÙËÓ Ô˘Û›· Ì ÙËÓ ÚÔÛı‹ÎË ÙÔ˘ Y3+ ‰ËÌÈÔ˘ÚÁÔ‡ÓÙ·È ·Ù¤ÏÂȘ ÛÙÔ Ï¤ÁÌ·.

Considerable research has been done, however, in ceramics based on zirconia. Many different methods of synthesis and stabilization have been proposed and many oxides have beem tested suvh as magnesium, calcium, cerium and yttrium (MgO, CaO, CeO2, Y2O3) as well as rare earth oxides27. These new zirconia ceramics and specifically the partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) were characterized by Garvie as “ceramic steel” because they show several similarities with steel as having three allotropic forms, martensinic type phase transformation and variable phases28. FORMS OF REINFORCED ZIRCONIA CERAMICS The term reinforced ceramics includes a wide class of materials and microstructures29. Reinforced zirconia is divided into three main categories. In the first two, materials consist of at least two phases with the t-phase to be the smallest one, while the third category includes primarily monophase t- zirconia29. Therefore we distinguish: 1. Zirconia reinforced ceramics, 2. Ceramics with partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia and 3. Ceramics with fully stabilized tetragonal zirconia. 1. ZIRCONIA REINFORCED CERAMICS In these materials zirconia crystals diffuseinto another crystal matrix. they are the least studied but with the less commercial interest reinforced ceramics. Typical examples are alumina reinforced with zirconia (Zirconia toughened alumina or ZTA) and zirconia reinforced mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2 or ZTM)31. There are many other combinations of alumina and zirconia, where the proportion of zirconia is greater than that of alumina and constitute 107 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review ˙ÈÚÎÔÓ›· (AZT)28.

These ceramics can serve as materials even without the presence of a stabilizers, as as the stability of the t- phase is controlled by the grain size, morphology and location (inter- or intra-granularly)22. Essentially it is a phenomenon analogous to the displacement of the temperature range of the martensitic transformation starting below room temperature31. The addition of zirconia can be made either in the form of pure zirconia or PSZ alumina powder. In this way both the fracture toughness (Kic) and the flexural strength of the material are enhanced, provided that the grain size of the pure zirconia is 1-2 Ìm and that of the partially stabilized zirconia is 2-5 Ìm in proportion up to 15%32. The porosity of mixed ZTA ceramics reaches 8-11% and is higher in fully stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics with yttria (Y- TZP). This partly explains the lower mechanical strength with respect to zirconia Y-TZP22. The construction of the ceramic restoration may be either with “slip-cast” technique or milling in “green phase” of the material (soft machining)23. The ZTA ceramics seem promising material for biomedical purposes. Few issues have been published until recently for its use as a ceramic biomaterial33. Yet the fact that the addition of alumina in zirconia prevents aging of the material, or at least drastically reduces the kinetics, should give hope for a strong biomaterial aging free14. Few studies have been published on the phenomenon of aging in alumina-zirconia composites. However, it seems that a small percentage of aging observed, depends on the characteristics of the microstructure of the two phases of the material34. More particularly the degree of transformation in ZTA phases depends on the temperature, duration and pressure on the material and is inversely proportional to the grain size35. However, the advantage of higher resistance to aging today is questioned36. The ZTA composites are divided into several types having each a different composition, amount and type of stabilizer as well as the addition of other oxides and crystalline phases. Interest seems to have the cromia doped ZTA which achieves increased toughness while maintaining the same level of hardness of the material37. This material has already been studied for use in dentistry38. The typical image of ZTA ceramics with electron microscope includes the t- zirconia crystals dispersed in a matrix of alumina crystals. In-Ceram Zirconia (In-Ceram® ZIRCONIA, VITA, Germany) used in dentistry consists of 30% glass and 70 % zirconia polycrystalline alumina ceramic with a ratio of about 70:30 by volume. According to Chai et al, In Ceram Zirconia comes from adding 33 % partially stabilized zirconia with 12% CeO2 to 67% In Ceram alumina39. 2.

This is achieved with blends of various oxides (CaO, MgO, La2O3, Y2O3) at concentrations lower than those needed to fully stabilize the cubic phase. Thus, the t- phase is precipitated inside the grains in a matrix c- stationary phase. T-phase is fully consistent with the cubic crystals and has a fusiform shape at nanometer level. Simply these ceramics at room temperature are multiphasic and include a short concentration of monoclinic and tetragonal phase in cubic stabilized zirconia substrate. This metastable state of the t- phase is maintained thanks to the presence of stabilizers. The transformation to the m- phase which would increase the volume of the material is prevented by the compressive stresses exerted on those grains from the adjacent ones40.The phase diagrams show a mixing of cubic, tetragonal or monoclinic phase. To produce a partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) two conditions are needed. First, the concentration of the stabilizer should be less than needed to fully stabilize the cubic phase and, secondly, the cubic phase should be heated to develop a biphasic ceramic32. PSZ was characterized by Garvie and Nicholson as “ceramic steel”, since it was observed that this material is of high mechanical strength and toughness with the unique characteristics coming from the phase transformation (Transformation toughening). This unique property (metastability) may be lost when the grains are very small, so they do not transform, and when they are too large, so they are not stable as converted crystals, because they automatically convert to monoclinic phase during cooling to ambient room temperature41, 42. Particular care is needed in two main production steps of such ceramics. First of all sintering must be carried out at high temperatures (1680ÆC and 1800ÆC) and then the velocity and the temperature range time of cooling cycles must be tightly controlled. During the cooling step, at about 1100ÆC, the tetragonal phase is developed, whose volume fraction is decisive for the break strength of the material31, 43. There are two main types of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) according to stabilizers and microstructure. The first is a coarse structure containing 8% MgO and grain size of 50-100 Ìm and is called Mg-PSZ. The second by adding Y2O3 leading to a very fine ceramic structure with a grain size <1Ìm. A commercial brand for Mg-PSZ is Denzir-M (Dentronic AB, Sweden)44. Two main disadvantages of Denzir are the porosity and the large grain size (30-60 Ìm) which makes the material unsuitable for biomedical purposes, as well as the presence of impurities such as SiO2 which reduce the magnesium content of Mg (through the creation of Mg-silicates) and spontaneous cause aging of the material (t->m transformation)22. 3.

Since 1977 it was found that adding small concentrations of yttrium on zirconia powder micrograin zirconia material can be produced, containing up to 98% t- phase. The high strength (700 MPa flexural strength) coincides with high tetragonal phase and the low one (50100 MPa) with high amount of monoclinic phase45. The maximum strength values occur when the critical average grain size is less than 0.3Ìm46. Below 0.2 Ìm grain size phase transformation is not possible and fracture toughness is lowered22. The proportion of the tetragonal phase at room temperature depends on the preparation temperature, the percentage of stabilizers (Y2O3, CeO2), the grain size and the degree of compression exerted on them by the grid22. The mechanical properties of TZP depend on these parameters7. In 3Y- TZP (3mol% Y2O3) used in dentistry, grain size plays the most important role in mechanical properties22. Beyond a critical grain size, which mainly depends on the concentration of yttrium dioxide, an automatic transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic phase can be observed. The conversion is restricted in very fine structures. Reduction in the grain size or increasing the concentration of the stabilizing oxides may reduce the transformation rate. Specifically drastic reduction in the grain size results in loss of metastability while increasing the concentration of the stabilizing oxide more than 3,5% Y2O3 in Y-TZP probably allow nucleation of stable cubic phase. Therefore in order to achieve a metastable tetragonal phase at room temperature, the grain size must be less than 0.8 Ìm and the proportion of the stabilizer oxide not exceeding 3mol%45. Also the sintering conditions affect both the stability and the final strength of the final product since they determine the grain size47. It appears that changing the sintering conditions from 1550ÆC to 1450ÆC develops cubic phase which reduces Y from the adjacent crystals, causing nucleation of t-m transformation sites and dramatically reduces the resistance to aging of the material48. A feature of Y-TZP ceramics is the formation of compressive layers on their surface. Tetragonal surface granules are not limited by the crystal matrix and therefore can be converted automatically into monoclinic because of the abrasive procedures provoking compressive stresses at a depth of some microns in the subsurface. This surface hardening and transformation phase plays a role in improving the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the material, but the thickness of the converted surface limits them. This phenomenon can be disastrous in the mechanical behavior of the material, if the conversion phase on the surface causes a surface cracking, followed by detachment of surface grains and proceed to the bulk of the material7. Many factors play a role in controlling the mechanical behavior of Y-TZP ceramics. The size and shape of the grains, the type and amount of stabilizer, the size and distribution of the internal stresses and the presence of residual stresses (prestresses)49. One of the disadvantages of 3Y-TZP ceramics is the sensitivity to thermal shocks. In such case there is depletion of yttrium from Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review ‰›ˆÓ Â›Ó·È ‰˘Ó·ÙfiÓ Ó· ÂÏ·ÙÙÒÛÂÈ ÙÔ Ú˘ıÌfi ÌÂÙ·ÙÚÔ‹˜. ™˘ÁÎÂÎÚÈ̤ӷ ‰Ú·ÛÙÈ΋ Ì›ˆÛË ÙÔ˘ ÌÂÁ¤ıÔ˘˜ ÙˆÓ ÎfiÎÎˆÓ Ô‰ËÁ› Û ·ÒÏÂÈ· Ù˘ «ÌÂÙ·ÛÙ·ıÂÚfiÙËÙ·˜» ÂÓÒ ·‡ÍËÛË Ù˘ Û˘ÁΤÓÙÚˆÛ˘ ÙˆÓ ÛÙ·ıÂÚÔÔÈËÙÈÎÒÓ ÔÍÂȉ›ˆÓ ¿Óˆ ·fi 3,5% Y2O3 ÛÙÔ Y-TZP Èı·ÓÒ˜ Ó· ÂÈÙÚ¤„ÂÈ ‰ËÌÈÔ˘ÚÁ›· ˘Ú‹ÓˆÓ ÛÙ·ıÂÚ‹˜ ΢‚È΋˜ Ê¿Û˘.

To address the phenomenon it was proposed the reduction of the grain size to nanometer scale and the addition of other stabilizers in order to improve its performance. It has been proposed that adding Cerium (Ce) and Alumina another Ce- stabilized alumina TZP ceramic can be created49. The fully stabilized zirconia is less elastic than the partially stabilized and less resistant to thermal shocks from MgPSZ. At temperatures above 900ÆC is prone to deformation50. One major limitation of Y-TZP in their use in dentistry concerns the optical properties and especially the opacity and the intense white color. For this reason, various additive oxides have been tested in order to change the color of Y-TZP. It seems that the addition of CeO2 and ErO2 improves the color without significantly affecting the mechanical properties51. Indeed the system Procera AllZirkon (Nobel Biocare) has four different colors. Recently new systems are developed with transparent zirconia (grain size 3nm) made with a particular zirconium, yttrium and oxygen ions condensation technique, in a gaseous phase. This kind of material is designed for the fabrication of full contour zirconia restorations without the need of a veneering material. 3.1. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF YTZP The properties of YTZP are dependent on yttria percentage and on grain size. The density of YTZP is 6.056.07 gr/cm3, and thermal conductivity of 2.2W /m*K32. The resistance to thermal shocks is approaching 400ÆC, and the dielectric constant from 16 to 18. It has zero porosity, white color and a maximum working temperature of 1500ÆC. The melting point is extremely high (2750ÆC). Coefficient of thermal expansion is 10,3*10-6/ÆC.

The external electromagnetic radiation, which has a large range of frequencies and wavelengths, can excite an electron by being moved from its original energy level to a different level. Each material reacts differently to each wavelength. The degree of absorption of electromagnetic radiation depends on the type of chemical bonding and the availability of free electrons. Ceramic materials may entrap some wavelengths of radiation and can be transparent only in a small range. The zirconia ceramics have special optical properties. In the absence of glass due to the high density of the material they present high opacity. Beyond that, depending on the type of material the color can change. They have a high refractive index (2.1-2.2), a low coefficient of absorption and high opacity in the optical and infrared spectrum54. These properties are due to the fact that the dispersed grains (particles) of material are slightly larger than the wavelength of light and the different reflective index of the matrix material. For this reason, in dentistry are used to cover discolorations of the substrate55. Factors affecting the color of the zirconia materials are the grain size, the distribution of grain sizes, the compression method and different additives in each material. The density and homogeneity of the material with minimum porosity (<0.05%) provides a constant opacity of the material. Nevertheless factors affecting the color or transparency of zirconia ceramics were tested without showing that they degrade the mechanical properties55. The Ce-TZP are yellow and in powder form, from yellow to brown. When changing the valence of Ce from +4 to +3 then it turns gray. For this reason it is not used as such for dental use36. Y-TZP ceramics are white, although the products resulting from the production of isostatic compression in the absence of oxygen have originally black color. But when they are subjected to a heat treatment at 1000ÆC-1200ÆC and the presence of oxygen, they gradually acquire white color56. The Mg-PSZ are yellow while the ZTA are white. 3.3. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES There is no doubt that the zirconia ceramics have better mechanical properties than other ceramics such as alumina7. The excellent performance of zirconia ceramics in mechanical testing is primarily due to the dense structure, the microgranules and the absence of defects8. The mechanical properties are affected by the purity of the material, the density, the porosity, the particle size, the crystalline structure (t-c-m phases), the geometrical characteristics and the surface characteristics (Table 2). There is particular interest in the flexural strength which depends on the purity of the material density, the critical particle size, the amount of t- phase and the sintering method. They present flexural strength around 500MPa40, 129, while particularly high values of 900-1200 MPa have been Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review ¶›Ó·Î·˜ 1. º˘ÛÈΤ˜ ȉÈfiÙËÙ˜ ÂÓÈÛ¯˘Ì¤ÓˆÓ ÎÂÚ·ÌÈÎÒÓ Ì ˙ÈÚÎÔÓ›· I‰ÈfiÙËÙ· ZTA Mg-PSZ Y-TZP Ï¢Îfi K›ÙÚÈÓÔ §Â˘Îfi ¶˘ÎÓfiÙËÙ· (gr/cm ) 4.1 5.7 6.0 M¤ÛÔ Ì¤ÁÂıÔ˜ ÎfiÎÎÔ˘ (Ìm) 0.5 50 0.35-0.7 £ÂÚÌÈ΋ ·ÁˆÁÈÌfiÙËÙ· (W/m*K) 25 2 2 9 10.5 10.5 M¤ÁÈÛÙË ıÂÚÌÔÎÚ·Û›· ÆC 1000 900 1200 AÓÙ›ÛÙ·ÛË ÛÙ· ıÂÚÌÈο ÛÙÚ˜ÆC 250 260 300 XÚÒÌ· 3 -6 -1 ™£¢ (*10 K ) (http://www.bce-special-ceramics.com/highperformanceceramics/comparison.php) Table 2.

The value of 900 MPa results from technical sintering without pressure and the value of 1200 MPa is achieved by fusing at high pressure (HiP)40. The performance of ZTA ceramics in bending tests gives smaller values of 400-450 MPa39. Young’s modulus is relatively low, allowing large deformation of the material up to failure, a unique property in brittle materials. This allows a significant absorption of stresses that responds excellent during fatigue tests7. In the literature there is a wide range of zirconia fracture toughness values that vary from 4-19 MPa m-1/2. Comparison of these values is difficult as they result from different techniques and are influenced by the particle size, density and percentage of impurities of each particular ceramic57. However, the Y TZP fracture toughness is higher than other ceramics such as alumina. 3.4. APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY - OTHER APPLICATIONS Zirconia is primarily used in industry. A particularly important application of cubic zirconia YSZ (Y-16 %) is in fuel cells. Zirconia is used as an electrolyte with very thin coating thickness, which is responsible for the low resistance to electrical leakage and lower operating temperature of the cell58.

For this reason more recently it has been proposed to add alumina in cubic zirconia electrolytes to improve the hardness and fracture toughness (Kic) but in a small proportion, as the addition of alumina has a negative impact on the electrical conductivity59. Another application of zirconia is in high performance or pressure chromatography (HPLC). Due to the high pressure, the HPLC is rapid (results in some minutes) and due to fine grain adsorbents materials that are used provide high separation efficiency. The main reason is the excellent chemical and thermal stability, which remains even at temperatures above 300ÆC for a long time60. Silica (SiO2) was the first of the materials used as gate dielectric materials for the manufacture of integrated circuits. But as it was necessary to gradually reduce the size of the devices, the size of the membranes had to respectively decrease and in order to create current leakage the use of materials with higher dielectric constant was proposed. Partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is one of the materials that can remain thermodynamically stable in contact with silicon even at 1000ÆC and therefore is quite promising as gate dielectric material to replace SiO261. Cubic zirconia is used in oxygen sensors which have a wide range of industrial applications. Such sensors are used to control the oxygen content in exhaust gases or molten metals. In automotive industry is known as oxygen sensors (Ï)-type62. Combining the high durability and the improved conductivity compared to that of fully stabilized zirconia ceramics, Y-TZP ceramics are excellent for use as electrolytes in electrochemical applications such reactors, oxygen pumps and fuel cells63. The chemical stability, high melting point, electrical and optical properties makes them ideal components for high resistance to wear and for connecting optical fibers64. There is a wide variety of applications of zirconia in its various forms, which are summarized in Table 39. ZIRCONIA CERAMICS IN DENTISTRY Although there are many types of systems in the industry of ceramics containing zirconia65, three are currently available for use in dentistry. These are fully stabilized tetragonal zirconia, partially stabilized zirconia and zirconia -reinforced alumina. ¶›Ó·Î·˜ 2. ªË¯·ÓÈΤ˜ ȉÈfiÙËÙ˜ ˙ÈÚÎÔÓ›·˜ I‰ÈfiÙËÙ·/YÏÈÎfi Y-TZP Ce-TZP ZTA Mg-PSZ 3 ¶˘ÎÓfiÙËÙ· (gr/cm ) 6.05 6.15 4.15 5.75 ™ÎÏËÚfiÙËÙ· (HV30) 1350 900 1600 1020 AÓÙÔ¯‹ ÛÙËÓ Î¿Ì„Ë (MPa) 1000 350 500 800 AÓÙÔ¯‹ ÛÙË Û˘Ì›ÂÛË (MPa) 2000 - - 2000 M¤ÙÚÔ ÂÏ·ÛÙÈÎfiÙËÙ·˜ (GPa) 205 215 380 205 114 Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review Table 3.

The first one, where milling and machining is performed during the socalled «green stage», the partially sintered form. In this category, high performance systems are: CEREC 3 and in lab DCS Precident, Procera, Lava, Cercon Smart Ceramics, Everest, Denzir, DentaCad and Evolution D4D. As a disadvantage is considered the fact that the frameworks must be done larger by 20-25% in order to counteract the contraction that occurs during the final stage of sintering. Unlike, the cutting and milling in this form of zirconia is faster and cutting tools that serve this purpose suffer less wear66. In the second category the milling and construction are completed in the fully sintered format after burning down and compression (Hot Isostatic Pressing or HiP) of zirconia. The main representatives of this technique are the systems DC-Zirkon (DCS Dental AG), Everest-ZH (Kavo), Denzir (Cadesthetics AB)67, 23. This technique is advantageous in that the final versions of the frameworks do not undergo dimensional changes. On the other hand cutting and processing is extremely difficult and time consuming because of the high hardness of the material66. Even today there is no consensus among researchers regarding the choice of method of manufacturing zirconia frameworks concerning which is less damaging to the final product, and that is the reason that both the aforementioned techniques still exist68. Table 4 contains the major CAD-CAM system for zirconia materials processing. ZIRCONIA CERAMICS APPLICATIONS IN DENTISTRY Dental prosthetic restorations should serve the function and patient comfort and maintain their integrity over time70. The selection of appropriate materials therefore must be driven by the success and survival of restorations. Zirconia ceramics are used in a wide range of applications in dentistry. Therefore together with metal-ceramic and other systems add an alternative approach in reconstructions where strength has to be combined with increased demands for aesthetics.

The removal of tooth structure when preparing the tooth to receive a dental prostheses must be as conservative as possible and any construction should be made at the lowest possible volume, without violating the biological principles and the principles of mechanical strength of the structure4. The instructions, however, for making teeth that will receive crowns with zirconia core differ slightly from those of classical metal-ceramic crowns72. The minimum height of clinical crown of the tooth preparation should be at least 4mm73. Particularly, incisal or occlusal reduction of the tooth abutment should be 1.5 to 2mm and 1.2 to 1.5 mm in the axial walls. In cervical areas finish line should be slightly subgingivally and its width should be 0,8-1,2 mm74, ¶›Ó·Î·˜ 3. ∫‡ÚȘ ÂÊ·ÚÌÔÁ¤˜ Î·È ¯Ú‹ÛÂȘ ∑ÈÚÎÔÓ›· ÛÙË ‚ÈÔÌ˯·Ó›· T̷̋ٷ ‚·Ï‚›‰ˆÓ Î·È ·ÓÙÏÈÒÓ O‰ËÁÔ› ηψ‰›ˆÓ KÔÙÈο ÂÚÁ·Ï›· M¤Û· ÙÚÈ‚‹˜ Î·È ‰È·ÛÔÚ¿˜ AÈÛıËÙ‹Ú˜ O͢ÁfiÓÔ˘ MÂ̂ڿÓ˜ ΢„ÂÏÒÓ Î·˘Û›ÌÔ˘ £ÂÚÌÈÎÔ› ÌÔÓˆÙ¤˜ EÍ·ÚÙ‹Ì·Ù· ÔÙÈÎÒÓ ÈÓÒÓ 116 Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review ÛÎÂÏÂÙÒÓ ‰ÂÓ ˘Ê›ÛÙ·ÓÙ·È ÌÂÙ·‚ÔϤ˜ ‰È·ÛÙ¿ÛˆÓ, Ë ·ÔÎÔ‹ Î·È ÂÂÍÂÚÁ·Û›· fï˜ Â›Ó·È ÂÍ·ÈÚÂÙÈο ‰‡ÛÎÔÏË Î·È ¯ÚÔÓÔ‚fiÚ· ÏfiÁˆ Ù˘ ˘„ËÏ‹˜ ÛÎÏËÚfiÙËÙ·˜ ÙÔ˘ ˘ÏÈÎÔ‡66.

The inclination of the axial walls should be 5-6Æ73. Some clinicians suggest 2,0 to 2,5 mm incisal/occlusal reduction for better aesthetics and anatomical shape76. On the other hand, there are of course minimally invasive preparation techniques such as edge knife (knife-edge) which seem to be an alternative technique in anterior teeth, without reducing the strength of the structure77. Unlike the feather-edge preparations, deep retentive grooves and complex occlusal morphology of the abutment should be avoided because it is extremely difficult to reproduce78, 79. The specifications for the laboratory part of the construction for the core thickness is 0,5 mm for posterior teeth and to 0,3 mm for the anterior77 (Fig. 5). A different approach to design the framework for zirconia crowns is the technique of a zirconia collar80. The Ce-TZP/Al is the hardest ceramic material currently available for prosthetic restorations. The thickness of the core Ce-TPZ/Al frameworks can be reduced to 0,3 mm, compared to 0,5 mm of Y-TZP. ¶›Ó·Î·˜ 4B. ™‡Á¯ÚÔÓ· Û˘ÛÙ‹Ì·Ù· Cad-Cam “Ï‹ÚÔ˘˜ Û˘Ûۈ̿وÛ˘” ™‡ÛÙËÌ· ™‡ÓıÂÛË ˘ÏÈÎÔ‡ Denzir PSZ Digizon PSZ Everst ZH blanks PSZ EºAPMO°E™ KEPAMIKøN ZIPKONIA™ ™THN O¢ONTIATPIKH ø™ E¶ANOP£øTIKøN Y§IKøN OÈ Ô‰ÔÓÙÈΤ˜ ÚÔÛıÂÙÈΤ˜ ·ÔηٷÛÙ¿ÛÂȘ Ú¤ÂÈ Ó· Â͢ËÚÂÙÔ‡Ó ÙËÓ ÏÂÈÙÔ˘ÚÁ›·, ÙËÓ ¿ÓÂÛË ÙÔ˘ ·ÛıÂÓÔ‡˜ Î·È ÙËÓ ‰È·Ù‹ÚËÛË Ù˘ ·ÎÂÚ·ÈfiÙËÙ¿˜ ÙÔ˘˜ Û ‚¿ıÔ˜ ¯ÚfiÓÔ˘70.

Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 Fig. 5: Zirconia crown. Visible are the extended dimensions of zirconia core After three years of clinical studies81 zirconia crowns seem to have satisfactory levels of success, to the point that the zirconia core is considered as a reliable alternative material to the metal framework82. To reduce the rate of ceramic chipping, a ceramic veneering material with suitable thermal expansion coefficient compatible with that of zirconia was tested and the three-year follow-up showed excellent behavior83. Also, after two years follow-up it was found that the use of core material reinforced with alumina zirconia by 25% (In Ceram Zirconia-VITA) is equally reliable for the manufacture of posterior teeth crowns with Cercon Zirconia84. Similar encouraging results for the InCeram Zirconia have been published in a three year study85. However, for a more accurate assessment of the clinical behavior and complications of the use of allceramic crowns with zirconia core, a significant number of at least five-year studies86 should be completed and be able to support the use of zirconia ceramics as reliable alternative to conventional metal-prostheses85. 117 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review MONHPEI™ O¢ONTIKE™ A¶OKATA™TA™EI™ TÔ ÌÂÁ·Ï‡ÙÂÚÔ fiÁÎÔ ÌÂÌÔÓˆÌ¤ÓˆÓ ·ÔηٷÛÙ¿ÛÂˆÓ ÛÙËÓ ÎÏÈÓÈ΋ Ú¿ÍË ·ÔÙÂÏÔ‡Ó ÔÈ ÛÙÂʿӘ ÔÏÈ΋˜ Î¿Ï˘„˘ ÂÍ·ÈÙ›·˜ ΢ڛˆ˜ Ù˘ ÂÍ·ÈÚÂÙÈ΋˜ ÎÏÈÓÈ΋˜ ·ÍÈÔÈÛÙ›·˜ ÙÔ˘˜ Û ۯ¤ÛË Ì ¿ÏϘ ÂÚÈÛÛfiÙÂÚÔ Û˘ÓÙËÚËÙÈΤ˜ ÌÔÓ‹ÚÂȘ ·ÔηٷÛÙ¿ÛÂȘ71.

The design of these crowns should provide retentive undercuts and slots87. Zirconia crowns have been used in removable prosthodontics as crowns for the support of partial dentures87 or as primary crowns in dual crown systems (telescopic substructures)88. One potential disadvantage arises from the fact that with this type of restorations, zirconia is in some parts completely exposed to the oral environment, without the necessary ceramic veneer coverage. This constitutes a danger to the integrity of the restorations over time, considering the role of water in aging of zirconia89. The manufacturers, however, recommend polishing of the exposed zirconia ceramics with extremely fine abrasives87. ALL CERAMIC FIXED PARTIAL DENTURESSPECIFICATIONS A fixed partial denture (FPD) prosthesis consists of abutments and pontics, which are connected together by connectors. The connector is a relatively thin, vulnerable point of the prosthetic construction90. During the loading of fixed partial dentures, connectors reach critical stresses before these stresses reach the thicker parts of the prostheses. For this reason, the connectors are manufactured in appropriate dimensions to withstand occlusal loads4. Especially for zirconia restorations connectors design seems to be crucial for the flexural strength and reliability of zirconia fixed partial dentures66. Increasing the dimensions of the connector reduces stress concentration at critical points of the structure impacting positively on the strength of ceramic construction90. It is suggested the height of 4mm is sufficient for posterior teeth FPD’s and even greater if it is placed in areas of increased loads (bruxism or increased vertical overlap). A similar design is not always possible due to biological constraints (clinical crown height, interdental spaces). Some researchers suggest connector dimensions 3x3 mm and 0.5 mm core thickness with positive laboratory results91, while others increase dimensions up to 4x4 mm92. However, to avoid connector fractures (Fig. 6) and therefore zirconia core FPD’s clinical failures there is need for proper planning and proportional connector geometry to resist the loads sustained during function (Fig. 7). Of particular importance are the minimum diameter of the connector (dmin) and the radius of curvature in cross section. Clinically the design should take into account the material properties, the anatomical constraints, and the possibility of oral hygiene and aesthetic expectations66. Proper design of connector offers longevity to the prosthetic restorations. Increasing the connector height from 3 to 4mm significantly reduced the stress concentration93 (Fig. 8). According to Studart94 3-unit FPD’s should have a connector cross-sectional area of 5,7 mm2, 4-unit 12,6 mm2 and 5-unit 18,8 mm2. Forces that have a special role in connector fractures are the tensile forces developed during function of the FPD during chewing.

The exposed zirconia surface, however, raises concerns regarding aging or rather degradation of mechanical properties in humid environment (LTD-low temperature degradation) in the oral environment89. Satisfactory success rates have been reported in studies with three year follow-ups of zirconia 3- and 4-unit FPD’s, without significant complications apart from only a small percentage of ceramic chipping96. Despite the initial skepticism of clinicians as to the accuracy of fit of all-ceramic FPD’s, currently it is estimated that there is no difference in quality between the application of classic metal-ceramic and modern CAD-CAM zirconia restorations97. Laboratory studies have identified the clinically acceptable fit accuracy of 3- and 4-units zirconia FPD’s fabricated on CAD-CAM systems98, 99, 100. INLAY RETAINED FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES A special category of conservative dental restorations are the posterior teeth 3-unit inlay retained FPD’s. Of particular interest are those that replace the first molar and are retained on inlay design cavities in the second premolar and second molar, which can be one alternative prosthetic treatment plan of a missing molar or premolar101. It is reported that when preparing an abutment for ceramic crown a 67-73% of the coronal tooth substance is removed102. Therefore more tooth substance is removed on conventional FPD’s than on inlay retained FPD’s104. An alternative technique in which buccal and palatal (lingual) flanges are added in both sides of the inlays seems to improve the prognosis of such special prosthetic construction103. Nevertheless, large amounts of failure of such structures are observed (13% to 37 months)104 and made clinicians cautious to their widespread use, despite the promising strength of such zirconia core constructions in laboratory tests104. MARYLAND FIXED PARTIAL DENTURES Zirconia frameworks have been used for the construction of micromechanical retention FPD’s, which are an alternative approach in several clinical cases where we need a minimally invasive prosthetic rehabilitation. Both single wing and double wing designs were tested. Double wing design appears to have greater resistance to detachment in laboratory tests106. These constructions have as complications detachments107 or fractures of the joints. A new modified surface for bonding gives new prospects for wider use of such special structures108. ZIRCONIA POSTS Castable posts of noble metals are considered as the reference method in restoring endodontically treated teeth with extensive loss of dental hard substances109. The Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review EÈÎ. 6: EÍ·ÈÚÂÙÈο ÌÂÁ¿ÏÔ˘ ÌÂÁ¤ıÔ˘˜ Û‡Ó‰ÂÛÌÔÈ(>4x4mm) Û ÛÎÂÏÂÙfi Á¤Ê˘Ú·˜ ˙ÈÚÎÔÓ›·˜ ÙÂÛÛ¿ÚˆÓ ÙÂÌ·¯›ˆÓ need for more aesthetic posts was driven from the fact that the color of a ceramic crown is affected by the color of the underlying coronal build-up, leading to the search for more esthetic materials110, 111. The use of zirconia as a structural material for posts began in 1993 as an alternative solution and was subsequently extended. The type of restoration on an endodontically treated tooth when a post method is selected depends on several factors. Today the choices are divided into cast posts and a wide range of prefabricated ones. In the second case, the restoration of the removed tooth substance in the coronal part is made with a restoring material. Following this classification manufacturers have released systems of prefabricated or customized zirconia posts111. According to some authors fiberglass posts have lower probability of root fracture than zirconia posts. The latter are not removed when a failure occurs. Toksavul found similar strengths in three different post systems and concluded that zirconia posts are reliable as aesthetic posts in cases when all-ceramic crowns are used to restore endodontically treated teeth111. However, regardless of type and technique, zirconia posts have been heavily criticized for the fact that may cause -due to their high rigidity- root fractures more often than fiberglass posts113. There is also an inherent difficulty in bonding zirconia to both adhesive cement and build-up material, but the most important problem is considered the difficulty to remove a zirconia post when endodontic re-treatment is required. It is also almost impossible to grind a cemented zirconia post113, 114. MONOLITHIC ZIRCONIA EÈÎ.7: K¿Ù·ÁÌ· ÛÎÂÏÂÙÔ‡ ˙ÈÚÎÔÓ›·˜ Û Á¤Ê˘Ú· ÙÂÛÛ¿ÚˆÓ ÙÂÌ·¯›ˆÓ (T˙Ô‡Ù˙·˜ I., T˙·Ó·Î¿Î˘ E. 2010) The need to reduce and eliminate chipping failures led to the entrance of a new technique to form full contour restorations with the exclusive use of zirconia material. To differentiate from other materials the term monolithic zirconia is widely used for this new generation materials. The opacity of the material appears to be significantly reduced due to the decrease in the grain size of the material (nm scale). Also due to the high strength of the material very thin restorations can be made(0.6-0.8 mm). These require minimum tooth preparation, almost the same that is needed to construct a full cast crown made of gold, noble or basic alloys. Beyond that, there are some drawbacks and weaknesses of the new material that might impede the wide spreading. First, the aesthetic restorations can be individualized as limited only to external dyes and colors specified by the manufacturer. This of course depends on the patient selection, the skill of the laboratory and the accuracy of color matching. Also the high hardness of the material creates suspicions of the possible abrasion of the enamel antagonist53, 54.

The intense white color was not particularly aesthetic and high opacity inhibits photopolymerization of the adhesive substrate114. On the other hand, zirconia brackets exhibited excellent resistance to abrasion116, greater resistance to deformation and less retention of dental plaque74. In direct comparison with the metal brackets show reduced efficacy of tooth movement, greater wear of enamel due to frequent detachment74 and greater wear of the opposite dental barrier117. Zirconia brackets are however, an alternative solution115. Other structures of zirconia for dental use that have been released are some types of precision attachments for which so far there is no available literature on their efficacy and clinical performance74. A number of new cutters and surgical instruments based on zirconia have been also released74. IMPLANT ABUTMENTS Almost in all implant brands on the market, there is a number of prefabricated and customized abutments for implant restorations, made of titanium alloys, gold or nonprecious metals and ceramic materials118. First ceramic abutments were made of alumina and came into production in 1993, which despite their excellent aesthetic performance were criticized for certain failures (abutment fractures)119, 120. Then in order to reduce the risk of failure zirconia abutments were tested122. Zirconia abutments can be prefabricated or customized. The selection of prefabricated is reliable and practical, but customized ones with the help of CAD-CAM technology can be designed for optimum aesthetics and integration of soft tissues74. There is need for more randomized clinical trials to evaluate the benefits of using zirconia abutments. In general having only a few research data, findings may be summarized as follows121: a) In frontal areas zirconia abutments function without complications (four years studies), without knowing their reliability for posterior restorations. b) The biocompatibility of zirconia is similar to that of titanium at periimplant soft tissues and the accumulation of dental plaque is less than that of titanium. In a clinical study after four years there was no abutment fracture, but only loosening of abutment screw in a small percentage and ceramic chipping123. Other advantages are considered the radiolucency of the abutments which is similar to metals and allows a reliable assessment of the fit accuracy through a radiographic imaging12, the less discoloration of tissues in relation to basic alloys and even the less bacterial adhesion to the surface of zirconia124.

There are many factors, such as the proper design of the zirconia framework to support the porcelain veneering layer, the appropriate processing in the dental laboratory, and further improvements in mechanical properties and application techniques of porcelain veneering that affect chipping rates125. Each manufacturer recommends treating the surface of the zirconia framework (eg sandblast and heat treatments) before veneering with porcelain. However, the effect of surface treatments on the bonding strength of porcelain to zirconia is still controversial. There are differences in thermal expansion coefficients and firing temperatures between commercial veneering ceramics for zirconia. This implies that different products have different powder compositions. Compatibility of the coefficients of thermal expansion needs improvement, which will likely include the optimization of powder synthesis126. However, there is no clear evidence demonstrating the presence of chemical bonds between zirconia and ceramic veneer, although there is one report126 that suggests the existence of such bond. Therefore it is assumed that micromechanical adhesion plays a major role in integrating zirconia and porcelain. 2. CONNECTOR FRACTURE Another serious complication that leads to failure restorations is the fracture of the frame. Most often is observed to the connectors. The first few failures led to the introduction of stricter criteria for the minimum dimensions of frame and connectors and the use of shorter span restorations5 (Fig. 6). Of particular importance is the design of the connectors where sharp endings can lead inevitably to stress concentration points and failure. (Fig. 7-8) 3. RESTORATION DEBONDING/DECEMENTATION The loss of retention (adhesive cement fracture) of one tooth abutment or the entirely decementation of a dental prosthesis is an important technical complication that affects its survival. It is of course possible to re-cement the prosthesis without any other complication, but sometimes other biological complications such as secondary caries or loss of pulp vitality require immediate replacement of the prosthesis. The loss of retention is a very low complication rate in single crowns or FPDs127. Nevertheless, the investigation and understanding of the causes leading to decementation of prostheses can lead to more reliable restorations. Cementation is the last clinical step for the construction of a prosthetic restoration. Provided that the preceding steps have been executed perfectly, final cementation completes a reliable prosthetic restoration. The bonding surfaces must produce the maximum quality of bond so that there is a long-term prosthetic survival and the possibility of microleakage is minimized. Apart from the surface of the dental abutment, the inner surface of the prosthesis 123 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review Ì·Ù· Ô˘ ηıÔÚ›˙ÔÓÙ·È ·fi ÙÔÓ Î·Ù·Û΢·ÛÙ‹.

The specificity of zirconia framework restorations lies in the fact that due to its high hardness and crystallinity, it remains almost unaffected by any processing128. There have been several experimental attempts to improve the bond between zirconia and various cements with different results. There is still a wide field of research until the introduction of a protocol for cementing zirconia restorations that may eliminate the unpleasant complication of restoration decementation.

Hellenic Stomatological Review 57: 101-137, 2013 Fig. 12: Absence of metal allows light transmission through zirconia prosthesis use. Alongside the emergence of new zirconia materials such as as monolithic zirconia has solved the ceramic chipping disadvantage. There are plenty more applications of zirconia in dentistry, few of which have scientific and long-term evidence-based documentation. Some studies report cases with extreme applications of zirconia such as bars, precision attachments etc. Clinicians should be particularly cautious in accepting new undocumented applications that may be proposed by companies or dental laboratories. Some suspicions persist by clinicians as to the restorations behavior over time that should not be considered groundless. The great strength of the core material does not always guarantee longevity as there is always the risk of a sharp change in the behavior of the material due to aging. 125 μÈ‚ÏÈÔÁÚ·ÊÈ΋ ∞Ó·ÛÎfiËÛË Literature Review 2) KATA°MATA ™YN¢E™MøN M›· ¿ÏÏË ÛÔ‚·Ú‹ ÂÈÏÔ΋ Ô˘ Ô‰ËÁ› ÙȘ ·ÔηٷÛÙ¿ÛÂȘ Û ·ÛÙÔ¯›· Â›Ó·È ÙÔ Î¿Ù·ÁÌ· ÙÔ˘ ÛÎÂÏÂÙÔ‡. ¶ÈÔ Û˘¯Ó¿ ÂÌÊ·Ó›˙ÔÓÙ·È ÛÙÔ˘˜ Û˘Ó‰¤ÛÌÔ˘˜.

On the other hand the growth and development of computer-aided design and cutting systems (CAD-CAM) have been focused on zirconia and have recently improved the fit accuracy, a point of criticism in the early systems. The alumina ceramics and metal alloys appear to no longer constitute the focus of development for CADCAM systems, and their commercial use is descending. Zirconia is a subject of basic research for the last ten years in dentistry at many levels. The three main axes of research investigation are its bond to the veneering porcelain, luting with contemporary cements and the improvement of its optical and mechanical properties. Alongside areas of research and development are related to similar materials such as composites of zirconia and alumina. Some attempts are currently in progress in the laser’s field, for cutting and processing zirconia with preliminary promising results. There are several issues on zirconia with the main disadvantage being the matastability of its structure and the non-controlled development of monoclinic phase that can lead to premature failures. However there is not enough long-term clinical documentation for total or partial acceptance of zirconia as a viable and reliable alternative to the classical metal-ceramic restorations. Finally, the application of zirconia as a biomaterial for dental implants does not seem to have nowdays the initial enthusiastic acceptance. Today, there are only a few manufacturers of zirconia implants. However, until now, the research done on zirconia implants is a small fraction of the widespread research on titanium alloy implants.
