          Effect of in vivo crown margin discrepancies on periodontal health.

          Numerous reports have suggested a relationship between marginal adaptation of dental castings and periodontal tissue health, and this study examined this relationship quantitatively. Forty-two crown restorations in 29 randomly selected patients were selected for this study using three criteria. (1) The crowns were placed at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry; (2) the crowns were in service for a minimum of 4 years; and (3) the crown margins were within the intracrevicular crevice (subgingival). Replica impressions of the facial margins of specific crowns were made with a vinyl polysiloxane impression material, and poured casts were prepared for scanning electron micrograph evaluation. Marginal discrepancy measurements were identified on each micrograph at 10 equally spaced locations along the margin and averaged for each specimen. Periodontal indices of pocket depths, crevicular fluid volume, and gingival index were accumulated for clinical measurements. Pearson correlation and Bonferroni adjusted probability tests were performed, but no significant correlation was found between marginal discrepancy (0.16 +/- 0.13 mm) and pocket depth (2.4 +/- 0.9 mm). However, a strong correlation (p less than 0.001) existed between marginal discrepancy and gingival index (2 +/- 0.8) and between marginal discrepancies and crevicular fluid volume (49.9 +/- 31.1). These results established that a significant quantitative relationship existed between the marginal discrepancy and periodontal tissue inflammation for subgingivally located crown margins.

            Tooth structure removal associated with various preparation designs for anterior teeth.

            The conservation of sound tooth structure helps preserve tooth vitality and reduce postoperative sensitivity. Innovative preparation designs, like those for porcelain laminate veneers, are much less invasive than conventional complete-coverage crown preparations. However, no study has quantified the amount of tooth structure removed during these preparations. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the amount of tooth structure removed when various innovative and conventional tooth preparation designs were completed on different teeth. . A new comprehensive tooth preparation design classification system was introduced. Typodont resin teeth representing the maxillary left central incisor, maxillary left canine, and mandibular left central incisor were prepared with the following designs: partial (V1), traditional (V2), extended (V3), and complete (V4) porcelain laminate veneer preparations; resin-bonded retainer preparation with grooves (A1) and with wing/grooves (A2); all-ceramic crown preparation with 0.8 mm axial reduction and tapering chamfer finish line (F1), all-ceramic crown preparation with 1.0 mm axial reduction and rounded shoulder finish line (F2), and metal-ceramic crown with 1.4 mm axial reduction and facial shoulder finish line (F3). After tooth preparations (10 per group), the crown was separated from the root at the CEJ. The removed coronal tooth structure was measured with gravimetric analysis. Means and standard deviations for tooth structure removal with different preparation designs were calculated and analyzed with analysis of variance at a significance level of P<.05. Significant differences in the amount of tooth structure removal were noted between preparation designs. Ceramic veneers and resin-bonded prosthesis retainers were the least invasive preparation designs, removing approximately 3% to 30% of the coronal tooth structure by weight. Approximately 63% to 72% of the coronal tooth structure was removed when teeth were prepared for all-ceramic and metal-ceramic crowns. For a single crown restoration, the tooth structure removal required for an F3 preparation (metal-ceramic crown) was 4.3 times greater than for a V2 preparation (porcelain laminate veneer, facial surface only) and 2.4 times greater than for a V4 preparation (more extensive porcelain laminate veneer). Within the limitations of this study, tooth preparations for porcelain laminate veneers and resin-bonded prostheses required approximately one-quarter to one-half the amount of tooth reduction of conventional complete-coverage crowns.

              Clinical and histological evaluation of thermal injury thresholds in human teeth: a preliminary study.

              The effect on healthy dental pulp of thermal increases ranging from 8.9 to 14.7 degrees C was evaluated. These temperature increases correspond approximately to those caused by certain restorative procedures, such as tooth preparation with high-speed instruments and the fabrication of direct provisional crowns. Two criteria of evaluation have been used in conjunction, a clinical (symptomatic) and a histological one, to assert with greater precision potential damage to the pulp. The results suggest a low susceptibility of cells to heat, which does not appear to be a major factor of injury, at least in the short term. The main cause of postoperative inflammation or necrosis of the pulp is probably the injury of the dentine, a tissue in direct functional and physiological connection with the pulp.
