OBFL resulted in the highest μTBS, lower NL, higher ISDC and DC, and higher UTS than other adhesives (p<0.05), as well as lower WS (similar to ALB3 and FSDL) and SL (similar to ALB3 and SBMP) (p>0.05). ALB3 showed a higher NL and the lowest DC value. FSDL showed the highest NL and SL and the lowest ISDC. SBMP showed the lowest pattern of WS (p<0.05)CONCLUSION: OBFL showed the best results in all the properties evaluated, and it can be considered the gold standard of the three-step etch-and-rinse adhesive systems.
Achieving aesthetic and functional result is a major challenge in oral rehabilitation, as the constant search for a harmonic smile raises patients level of demand and expectation. Restoring anterior teeth with aesthetics and predictability is one of the greatest challenges in contemporary dentistry and to know how to select the most suitable ceramic system and to have knowledge, controlling the variables at the time of adhesive cementation such as treatment of dental substrate surfaces and ceramic restoration will define the longevity and success of the restorative treatment. Therefore, the present article describes a rehabilitation with ceramic restorations on upper anterior teeth, seeking smile harmonization. It was emphasized clinical applicability in face of aesthetic challenge for different substrates, how to achieve predictable results with ceramic laminates associated with the lithium disilicate crown, and a crown with zirconia coping and laminate on it to mask the implant. This material presents excellent reproduction of dental structure optical properties in addition to high fracture resistance. A very pleasant aesthetic result was achieved, and also aesthetic harmonization of the rehabilitated teeth, restoring not only the aesthetic and saturation of the substrate, but promoting patient well-being associated with masticatory function and longevity for this clinical situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
