Make sure any residue i. Apply Cement and Seat the Tooth Discard a small amount of cement onto the mix-pad to ensure a perfect mix. Dispense cement directly into the crown.
Firmly seat the crown with finger pressure. Clean Up Tack the cure for seconds. Do not exceed the recommended tack cure time, otherwise clean-up will be extremely difficult.
For a controlled curing time, use an LED curing light. Remove the excess cement with a scaler while holding the crown in place. Final Cure Light cure the tooth for 20 seconds per surface or wait 6 minutes from the start of mix for a dark cure. Finish and polish the restoration as needed.
Complications to Avoid During the Cementation Process Avoid any contact of phosphoric acid with the zirconia restoration during the cementation process. The phosphate ion in the acid greatly reduces any potential bonding to the zirconia. Do not clean the tooth preparations with prophy paste. The emollients and fluoride in some prophy pastes can be negative and cause crowns to come off.
Use flour of pumice and water. If you are struggling to remove phosphate groups from zirconia, be sure to use a proprietary solution such as Ivoclean. Leave the solution on the crown for 20 seconds before rinsing. The crown should then be air-dried before it is ready to bond. Subscribe to our blog.

There is a controversy over the survival rate of ceramic crowns versus metal-ceramic crowns. Literature reviews concerning monolithic ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations have revealed that ceramic crowns with increased stability have shown survival rates similar to those of traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal PFM crowns [ 2 ]. In contrast, another study demonstrated that the survival of all-ceramic fixed dental prostheses FDPs was notably lower than that of PFM crowns [ 3 ].
Several factors mark the long-term success of the full-ceramic restorations, which a clinician should consider. The accurate marginal and internal fit of prosthetic crowns, along with high mechanical strength, good interfacial adhesion to the veneering material, and appropriate luting cement, are essential requirements for achieving the goal [ 4 , 5 ]. Dentin hypersensitivity, dental caries, secondary caries, cement dissolution, plaque accumulation and retention, and periodontal inflammation are consequences of inadequate marginal fitness [ 6 — 8 ].
An idyllic marginal fit with no gap cannot yet be achieved because of the clinical and material-based errors [ 6 ]. Several authors agree that micro-infiltration is associated with the marginal discrepancy, where the most significant amount of cement is dissolved. It is essential to mention that the cementing agent is a critical factor in the longevity of restoration so that the characteristics and properties of the cement are drastically essential to prevent microleakage and attain a proper marginal fit [ 9 — 11 ].
The evaluation of microleakage results acquired with zinc phosphate, glass-ionomer, and resin cements has demonstrated zinc phosphate cement is less successful in decreasing microleakage than glass-ionomer and resin cements. A possible explanation may be on account of the fact that the zinc phosphate cement bond, which is exclusively mechanical, leads to higher solubility than glass-ionomer and resin cements [ 12 , 13 ].
The resistance and retention forms of full crowns are ultimately affected by the convergence angle of the prepared teeth, which affects the adaptation of the fixed dental restoration.
It has been suggested that a greater tapering degree allowing the increased thickness of all-ceramic crowns will increase their resistance to fracture [ 14 ]. Similarly, a larger axial convergence angle of the preparation should improve the marginal fit.
The best index to determine the vertical and horizontal marginal misfit is an absolute marginal discrepancy AMD. However, standardization of marginal discrepancy is not possible. AMD is the marginal gap measured between the axial wall of the tooth preparation and the margin of the crown in combination with extension error.
There are two standard methods for measuring the microleakage, invasive by sectioning the dye and noninvasive the direct view technique techniques. In the invasive approach, which has been chosen for this study, dye penetration with different chromatic solutions such as safranin, methylene blue, and fuchsine is observed precisely under stereomicroscopes; consequently, this technique is considered to be more accurate than the noninvasive method [ 16 ].
A previous study by Emtair et al. Marginal fit and microleakage of monolithic zirconia crowns cemented by bioactive and glass-ionomer cement were compared in a study by Aboelenen et al. They found that similarity in the physical properties and chemical composition of the two types of cement resulted in a nonsignificant effect on the extent of microleakage. However, these studies have been done on prefabricated stainless-steel dies to compare preparation angles or other cement types.
Despite the results obtained, controversial theories regarding the permeability and sealing function of cement and inadequacy of research in comparing both luting cement and preparation angles on natural teeth have made further evaluation necessary.
Hence, this study aimed to determine the relation of the tapering degree and cement's type on the microleakage score of zirconia crowns on natural teeth. The null hypothesis to be tested is that there is no difference between microleakage observed in zirconia crowns with different preparation angles and types of cement.
This is an experimental in vitro study reviewed and approved by the university's ethics committee under study protocol IR. Fifty-six maxillary and mandibular premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were collected for this study.
Written informed consent was obtained from the parents at the time of tooth extraction. The parents were informed about the purpose of the study, privacy preservation, and data anonymity. Teeth with any sign of caries and restorations were excluded from the study. Then, all teeth were stored in 3. Impressions were taken from the specimens using silicone putty Speedex putty; Coltene, Altstatten, Switzerland as an index for determining the amount of reduction.
Occlusal reduction and flattening were performed by a round-ended tapered diamond bur Tizkavan, Iran up to 1.
One-mm cut depth grooves, axial reduction, and chamfer finishing line preparation were made by a 0. All sharp margins were rounded in the last step, and specimens were checked with putty index. These results were transmitted to the laboratory to be executed by the CAM unit. Before cementation, final cleaning with pumice paste and water rinsing was done for all teeth to achieve a better bonding strength.
Each group A and B was divided into four subgroups. Four types of cement were prepared as per the manufacturer's instructions:. The cement was dispensed directly onto the bonding surface of the restoration. The company's recommendation is to divide the powder into two parts. Two drops of liquid were mixed with one part for 10 seconds on a vast area of the mixing pad before adding the second part. Then, the paste was placed into the crown with a spatula, and the crown was placed on the abutment.
The excessive amount of cement was removed by a sharp curette. The samples were immersed in 0. Then, all roots were cut off using a diamond disk for easy handling. The embedded crowns were sectioned in the mid-buccolingual or mid-buccopalatal direction using a water-cooling saw Nonstop, Iran.
The extent of dye penetration into the surface of the section was evaluated and recorded by one operator according to the following scores [ 18 ]:.
The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version Cement's comparison was analyzed using the Kruskal—Wallis test, and preparation angle and combination of cement-preparation angle results were evaluated by the Mann—Whitney test.
Microleakage scores are demonstrated in Table 2. The pairwise comparisons between types of cement using the Mann—Whitney test showed a significant difference in two out of the six groups Table 4. Results of the Mann—Whitney U test for each subgroup P value. Figure 1 illustrates the two different tapering degrees and four types of cement to show the frequency distribution of the microleakage score.
Evaluation of the microleakage score according to the cement type and tapering degree. The present study measures the relation of the tapering degree on the microleakage score of zirconia crowns on natural teeth, as well as the permeability of self-adhesive resin, dual-cure resin, glass-ionomer, and zinc phosphate cements.
The study hypotheses were partially rejected because the type of cement and preparation angel influences the die penetration and microleakage score to some extent. During the past two decades, the popularity and utilization of zirconium restorations have increased despite economic concerns owing to their esthetics, color stability, and higher strength than other types of ceramics.
The manufacturing accuracy of these restorations is also crucial in preventing microleakage [ 19 — 22 ]. However, it is still unclear whether or not the zirconia crowns are a valid alternative to classic metal-based crowns [ 23 ]. One of the challenges clinicians have faced over time is the discrepancy between crown border and prepared tooth margin, which leads to microleakage, eases the penetration of microorganisms, and causes the dissolution of luting cement [ 24 ].
Therefore, zirconia crown was implemented in this study to investigate their marginal adaptation along with other factors. Numerous studies have stated a parallel relationship between the marginal gap width and post-treatment complications [ 14 , 25 , 26 ].
The convergence angle of the prepared teeth is another essential factor that affects the resistance and retention forms of crown restoration, and lack of each of these two is potentially detrimental to crown fitness, which can lead to microleakage. The results of a study on the influence of convergence angle and cement space on the adaptation of zirconia copings suggested that increasing the convergence angle of the abutment reduced the internal space [ 27 ].
Beuer et al. They concluded that the degree occlusal convergence could eventually lead to the best precision in single zirconia crowns compared with tapering degrees of 4 and 8. This result tied well with the current study, where the tapering degree of 12 achieved the best overall score in microleakage. Regardless of the cement type, these findings are in agreement with conducted research.
Nonetheless, there is a remarkable limitation in tooth preparation and reduction for esthetic crowns compared with preformed metal crowns. Hence, to achieve superior adhesion and retention despite preparation limitations, the type and amount of luting cement play a role and should be deliberated to prevent microleakage [ 29 , 30 ].
Effective cementation is critical to achieving the long-term success of crown sustainability, and poor seating leads to inadequate marginal adaptation [ 31 ]. Glass-ionomer resin cement and dual-cure resin cement could be considered as ideal cementing agents due to easy handling, reasonable cost, indissolubility in oral fluid, bonding strength, fluoride releasing, and the low score of microleakage [ 29 , 32 , 33 ].
The restora-tion is cleaned, filled with cement Figure 2 , and placed on the abutment tooth Figure 3. The cement is light-cured for 2 to 5 seconds or self-cured, which takes 2 to 4 minutes.
Isolation of the site should be maintained for 5 minutes. This new universal, fluoride-releasing, single-bottle adhesive features a unique property termed Rapid Bond Technology. It combines the long-term proven MDP with Amide chemistry, which permeates dentin and enamel very rapidly. Working and waiting times are significantly reduced, which minimizes the risk of contamination during application and diminishes technique sensitivity without affecting bond strength.
Besides MDP, which facilitates the chemical bond to zirconia and metal oxides, it also contains a silane to facilitate adhesive bonds to silicate ceramics. Cementation of zirconia restorations with these two materials is predictable, simple, and fast. The intaglio surface of the restoration is pretreated, typically by air-particle abrasion with aluminum oxide.
There are several indications for which zirconia restorations benefit from resin bonding: restorations that are less strong or thin, lack retention, or rely on resin bonding, such as resin-bonded fixed partial prostheses, onlays, or laminate veneers. APC Step A: Air-particle abrasion After restoration cleaning, zirconia should be air-particle abraded with alumina particles, for example with a chairside micro-etcher.
The monomer MDP has been shown to be particularly effective to bond to metal oxides. It, therefore, provides high bond strengths to all indirect restorative materials, from zirconia ceramics, metal alloys, and composites to silica-based ceramics, such as feldspathic porcelain and lithium silicates. It is simply applied to the intaglio restoration surface after adequate pretreatment through air-particle abrasion zirconia or acid-etching silicate ceramics.
For easy removal of excess cement in a doughy stage, the resin cement can be tack-cured for 3 to 5 seconds before complete polymerization. Unlike most other dual-cure composite-resin cements, its amine-free composition ensures long-term color stability and natural fluorescence.
The five shades range from clear, white, and universal Vita shade A2 to brown A4 and opaque, which is self-cure only. The long-term clinical success of zirconia restorations relies on proper cementation and bonding protocols with materials that provide high and long-term durable bond strengths.
It is an easy-to-use system, featuring new and improved tooth and ceramic primers that ensure the best possible long-lasting esthetic and functional outcomes. Markus B. Clinical performance of all-ceramic restorations.
