Öğe Directly Fabricated Inlay-retained Glass- and Polyethylene Fiber-reinforced Composite Fixed Dental Prostheses in Posterior Single Missing Teeth: A Short-term Clinical Observation(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, 2011) Izgi, Ayca Deniz; Eskimez, Sebnem; Kale, Ediz; Deger, YalcinPurpose: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of directly fabricated glass and polyethylene resin-bonded fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) in posterior single missing teeth over a short period of time. Materials and Methods: Fourteen inlay-retained FRC FDPs with tub-shaped or box-shaped retainers were directly constructed in patients of both genders. A baseline examination was performed and the patients were examined regularly at 6-month intervals. The sulcus bleeding index, Silness-Loe plaque index, and probing depths of the abutments were checked regularly. Modified US Public Health Service (USPHS) parameters were used to compare the restorations at baseline and final examination. The Kaplan-Meier survival estimation method was performed to detect the overall survival rates and mean survival times of the restorations at the end of the follow-up. Results: The length of the clinical observation was between 16 and 40 months for the FDPs still functioning after the end of the follow-up. No partial or total debonding of the prostheses or fracture of the frameworks was detected. Four veneering composite fractures at the veneer layer/fiber framework interface occurred in the pontic elements of 2 glass FRC FDPs and 2 polyethylene FRC FDPs after 6 and 10 months, and 20 and 22 months, respectively. Periodontal evaluation revealed clinically acceptable results, as did the USPHS evaluation. The overall survival curves of Kaplan-Meier at the end of the follow-up illustrated a 71% survival rate for the both glass and polyethylene FRC FDPs with mean survival times of 27 and 35 months, respectively. Conclusion: This study reported a mean period of service of 19 and 31 months for directly fabricated inlay-retained glass and polyethylene FRC FDPs, respectively, with a 71% survival rate for the two framework constructions. Within the limitations of the study, these results can only be considered as preliminary. However, because of the lack of clinical data available for directly fabricated inlay-retained FRC FDPs, the results of this clinical observation may contribute to the still-evolving clinical knowledge of the FRC restorations.Öğe A Prospective Cohort Study on Cast-metal Slot-retained Resin-bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses in Single Missing First Molar Cases: Results After up to 7.5 Years(Quintessence Publishing Co Inc, 2013) Izgi, Ayca Deniz; Kale, Ediz; Eskimez, SebnemPurpose: To evaluate under controlled clinical conditions the outcomes of cast-metal slot-retained resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) in which resin composite interlocked the restoration retainers in place after cementation in cases with single missing first molars, and to collect survival data on this esthetic RBFDP design combined with an economical metal fit-surface treatment method and resin luting system. Materials and Methods: Forty-one tub-shaped inlay-retained RBFDPs were clinically observed for up to 7.7 years in 35 recipients of both genders between 18 and 52 years of age. Clinical examinations were performed at baseline and 6 and 12 months after restoration placement, and thereafter at regular 1-year intervals. Modified US Public Health Service (USPHS) parameters, sulcus bleeding index, Silness-Loe plaque index, pocket depths, tooth mobility, pulp vitality, and periapical radiographs regarding the abutment teeth were assessed at these follow-up appointments. The Kaplan-Meier survival estimation method was performed to detect the overall and functional survival rates and mean survival times of the RBFDPs at the end of the study. The Breslow (Generalized Wilcoxon) test was used to evaluate the influence of restoration location and age and gender of the patient regarding the overall survival probability at the end of the follow-up (alpha = 0.05). Results: At the end of the study, 34 RBFDPs (83%) were still functioning with a mean follow-up of 6.3 years. According to the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, the overall and functional survival probabilities were calculated as 76% and 83%, with mean survival times of 6.8 years and 7.2 years, respectively. All clinical parameters monitored throughout the follow-up period predominantly revealed clinically acceptable results. Breslow test statistics presented nonsignificant differences with better results for the RBFDPs placed in the mandible of female recipients younger than 30 years of age. The most common failure noted with the RBFDPs was fracture of the occlusal veneering composite restoration over the retainer of a single abutment, leading to a predisposition of the restoration to partial debonding. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this prospective cohort study, it can be concluded that cast-metal slot-retained RBFDPs utilizing the interlocking mechanism of a resin composite to obtain additional retention from the abutment cavities show acceptable clinical success rates, and can be considered a minimally invasive, economical, and time-saving treatment alternative for the prosthetic rehabilitation of single missing first molars.Öğe Retentive force of three fiber-reinforced resin composite posts and a zirconia post cemented with two adhesive luting agents(Japanese Soc Dental Materials Devices, 2007) Polat, Zelal Seyfioglu; Tacir, Ibrahim Halil; Eskimez, Sebnem; Celik, M. YusufBy means of a pull-out test, this study compared the retentive force of three fiber-reinforced resin composite posts and a zirconia post. These posts were cemented using two different dual-polymerizing adhesive resin luting agents. Forty freshly extracted canines were selected for the study. All tooth root were endodontically treated and the post spaces prepared. The posts were luted using luting agents according to the manufacturers' guidelines. A tensile force was applied, and all data were collected and analyzed statistically. Glass fiber posts that were luted with Panavia F (Group 3) had the highest median load (3.610 N), while zirconia posts that were luted with RelyX ARC (Group 8) had the lowest median load (0.926 N). Among the different post systems that were luted with Rely X ARC, significant differences were observed in their median tensile loads (p<0.047). When comparing between Panavia F and RelyX ARC of each post system, a significantly higher tensile load was seen with zirconia posts luted with Panavia F (Group 7) (p<0.032).
