What is CR?

WHY CR?CR was founded in 1976 by clinicians who believed practitioners could

confirm efficacy and clinical usefulness of new products and avoid both

the experimentation on patients and failures in the closet. With this

purpose in mind, CR was organized as a unique volunteer purpose

of testing all types of dental products and disseminating results to

colleagues throughout the world.WHO FUNDS CR?

Research funds come from subscriptions to the Gordon J. Christensen

Clinicians Report ®. Revenue from CR’s “Dentistry Update ®” courses

support payroll for non-clinical staff. All Clinical Evaluators volunteer

their time and expertise. CR is a non-profit, educational research

institute. It is not owned in whole or in part by any individual, family, or

group of investors. This system, free of outside funding, was designed

to keep CR’s research objective and candid.

HOW DOES CR FUNCTION?

Each year, CR tests in excess of 750 different product brands,

performing about 20,000 field evaluations. CR tests all types of dental

products, including materials, devices, and equipment, plus techniques.

Worldwide, products are purchased from distributors, secured from

companies, and sent to CR by clinicians, inventors, and patients. There

is no charge to companies for product evaluations. Testing combines

the efforts of 450 clinicians in 19 countries who volunteer their time

and expertise, and 40 on-site scientists, engineers, and support staff.

Products are subjected to at least two levels of CR’s unique three-tiered

evaluation process that consists of:

1. Clinical field trials where new products are incorporated into

routine use in a variety of dental practices and compared by

clinicians to products and methods they use routinely.

2. Controlled clinical tests where new products are used and

compared under rigorously controlled conditions, and patients are

paid for their time as study participants.

3. Laboratory tests where physical and

chemical properties of new products are

compared to standard products.

This team is testing resin curing lightsto determine their ability to cure a variety of resin-basedcomposites.Every month several new projects arecompleted.

THE PROBLEM WITH NEW DENTAL PRODUCTS.

New dental products have always presented a

challenge to clinicians because, with little more

than promotional information to guide them,

they must judge between those that are new and

better, and those that are just new. Because of the

industry’s keen competition and rush to be first

on the market, clinicians and their patients often

become test data for new products.

Every clinician has, at one time or another, become

a victim of this system. All own new products that

did not meet expectations, but are stored in hope

of some unknown future use, or thrown away

at a considerable loss. To help clinicians make

educated product purchases, CR tests new dental

products and reports the results to the profession.

Clinicians Report

November 2018

TRAC Research CONCLUSIONS: It is too early in the service life to reach final conclusions on many of the products in this large diverse

study. However, after just one to two years, several materials are no longer sold (BruxZir Anterior, BruxZir NOW 2016, Pavati Z40.1) and

several others are no longer recommended for full-contour molar crowns (cubeX2, Lava Ultimate).

The following important trends are indicated by the data so far, and these trends could be helpful now to clinicians and patients attempting to

select products for treatment:A. Zirconia demonstrated best durability with 0% terminal fractures in all 9 brands in this study, in spite of differences in material

sources, formulations, and manufacturing methods.

B. BruxZir 2009 3Y zirconia best meets the 7 ideal characteristics. Importantly, throughout its 8-year clinical history it has not worn

opposing dentition excessively and it has demonstrated excellent tolerance of clinical abuse.

C. A skilled laboratory technician and possible added cost still necessary for optimum esthetics. Increased translucence has helped—

but not solved—the difficulty of blending zirconia with surrounding dentition.

D. If glass ceramic or ceramic-polymer products are used for full-contour molar crowns, expect higher numbers of fractures,

cementation failures, and need for more tooth removal to gain the material thickness needed for strength. In this study, IPS e.maxCAD

lithium disilicate has performed very well as a molar crown material, with 95% survival at 8 years, when tooth preparations provided

adequate material thickness.E. Cementation failure with zirconia crowns was relatively infrequent in this study. This was attributed to careful following of

cementation instructions by the dentists. IPS ZirCAD LT cementation material problems have been corrected by the manufacturer.

F. When unknown company and brand names are chosen to save costs, watch for inconsistencies in purity, density, and distribution

of formulation components, all of which may ultimately affect long-term durability.

G. Clinically at this time, 3Y zirconia indications are molar full-contour crowns, posterior multi-unit restorations, patients with

bruxing/clenching habits, where minimal tooth preparation is desired, and anytime maximum durability is desired. 3Y, 4Y, and

5Y zirconia and IPS e.maxCAD or Press can all fulfill expectations where optimum esthetics is desired, if fabricated by a skilled

laboratory technician.

ZIRCONIA: most durable tooth colored crown material in clinical study (Continued from page 2)

3. ObservationsA. Zirconia is a robust material. Zirconia was the only material category in this study where all products tested so far show 100% survival.

This is an important finding considering the differences represented in the brands tested (e.g., powders from Japan and China, formulation

differences, disk/block processing differences).

B. 3Y zirconia gives best chance of long-term durability. 3Y maximum fracture toughness zirconia restorations have demonstrated ability

to tolerate minimal tooth reduction preparations, clinical abuse such as occlusal adjustments made both in hand and after cementation, and

subsequent endodontic access preparation through the crown.

C. 5Y zirconia needs more gentle handling by dentists before cementation and during

endodontic access procedures. Crown fracture during seating occurred in 2% of the 5Y

zirconia crowns when there was: Inadequate tooth reduction causing thin finished crowns, or

crowns were hand held during occlusal adjustment before cementation. Fracturing can also

occur in 5Y zirconia when endo entry preparation is aggressive.

D. Glaze is not long lasting. No glaze used in this study has been long lasting, regardless of

material category. By year 7 over 90% of original BruxZir 3Y and IPS e.maxCAD crowns

had lost occlusal glaze. Glaze lasts longer on smooth surfaces, but characterizing techniques

that require glaze to seal in colors will not be as durable as patients desire. (See photos page 1.)

E. Ceramic-polymer crowns have higher than expected cementation failure. For reasons not fully apparent, ceramic-polymer crowns

have experienced high cementation failure, both in this study and in clinical practices. Yet ceramic-polymer crowns have highly desirable

characteristics (e.g., mill rapidly and smoothly with minimal bur wear, do not require post-mill procedures, wear opposing dentition

minimally, have good to excellent esthetics, have high survival rates with minimal fracturing). This material category is worthy of further

investigation to solve the problem with cementation failure. The new CAMouflage NOW is showing promise with only 2% cementation

failure in its first year of service.

F. Celtra DUO Non-Fired developed long (≥6 mm) craze line fractures within 1 year after seating.

Celtra DUO was not post-mill fired in this study because we hoped to verify the claim that

it was a ceramic-based product that could be milled & seated without need for post-mill

firing. After noting study crowns with long craze line fractures, we conducted a survey

which identified randomized Celtra DUO users and confirmed frequent fracture of Celtra

DUO when crowns were fired or non-fired. This indicates the need for improvement of this

material to gain the robust performance necessary clinically.

ZIRCONIA: most durable tooth-colored crown material in practice-based clinical study

Gordon’s Clinical Observations: Some tooth-colored monolithic crown materials are serving remarkably well, while others have had numerous

challenges. The TRAC Research component of Clinicians Report has been conducting the only large, long-term, comparative clinical study of

tooth-colored materials available to the profession. Results from this practice-based study reported below will enhance the service you provide

for your patients.

CAD-CAM methods and materials have revolutionized the dental laboratory industry and dental practice, but—

DO THE VARIOUS PRODUCTS SERVE PATIENTS EQUALLY WELL?

For over 40 years TRAC Research has been seeking the following material:

• Tooth colored • Tolerates abuse by clinician and patient

• Reasonable cost • Serves trouble-free at least 10+ years

• Requires minimal tooth removal • Does not wear opposing dentition excessively

• Cementation is durable and easyOver 200 tooth-colored materials have been studied clinically by this lab over the last 40+ years.

The current study includes 20 materials at various stages of clinical service (see listing on page 2).

The materials differ in many aspects, but all are tooth-colored, monolithic, CAD-CAM fabricated

either by commercial labs or in-office; all were recommended for single units anywhere in the oral

cavity when entered into this study; and all study restorations are full-contour crowns on molars.

LASTING PERFORMANCEThe Solution You Can Rely On, Year After Year

Clinicians have been choosing BruxZir® Solid Zirconia for its superior strength for a decade. The Glidewell R&D team created the monolithic material with this performance in mind, selecting the highest quality zirconia powder as a starting point. This purified powder is then further tested and refined by Glidewell scientists, with proprietary manufacturing techniques applied to establish exceptional qualities in finished BruxZir restorations.

The BruxZir Solid Zirconia family of materials exhibits enhanced strength, esthetics and performance. These characteristics are engineered to last, with the earliest BruxZir restorations delivered a decade ago still serving patients excellently today.

This patient presented with a combination PFM and full-metal 5-unit bridge on teeth #27–31. Due to the deterioration and age of the bridge, the decision was made to replace the existing bridge and to re-treat all abutment teeth with root canal therapy. A 5-unit BruxZir Full-Strength zirconia bridge was chosen for its ability to withstand the forces of the posterior, allowing the patient to have confidence in the integrity of the new restoration.
