| Abstract | |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the castability, marginal misfit, and metal-ceramic bond strength (MCBS) of the commercially pure (CP) titanium, in terms of investment type, Rematitan Plus (P) and Rematitan Ultra (U), and mold final temperature: 400°C (T1), 550°C (T2), and 700°C (T3). Sixty wax/acrylic resin crown patterns were prepared on a stainless steel stylized crown die having a 30-degree beveled finish line for castability and marginal misfit tests. Sixty wax/acrylic resin cylinder-shaped patterns (height of 8 mm and diameter of 5 mm) were prepared on a plastic matrix for MCBS test. The patterns were invested using two different investments for titanium (P and U). Each investing ring had two patterns: a crown and a cylinder. The casting rings were placed in a furnace to burn out patterns and thermally expand the molds, that were cooled at three temperatures (T1, T2, and T3) for casting in CP titanium. After the rings cooled, the castings were divested manually and airborne-particle abraded with 100-µm aluminum oxide abrasive. Castings were then separated from their sprues. The cast crowns were performed for castability and marginal misfit tests. The cast cylinders were prepared for applying porcelain: their surfaces were machined, airborneparticle abraded with 150-µm aluminum oxide abrasive and cleaned with steam spray. The castability was expressed in terms of the deficiency (µm) between an actual casting margin and a perfect margin. Crown margins were recorded in a silicone impression material. The degree of marginal rounding (R) was measured and margin length deficiencies (µm) (D) were calculated using the formula D=2.7·R. The measurements of marginal misfit (µm) of the cast crowns were performed on the stainlees steel die at a load of 29.4 N. The cylinders composed by metal and ceramic disk (height of 2 mm and diameter of 5 mm) were performed for test of metal-ceramic shear bond strength. Data were subjected to 2-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test (&aplha;=.05). The results indicated for castability of CP titanium, expressed in terms of marginal deficiency (µm), a significant difference for the main factors, investment (P<.001, P=81±23 and U=64±11), and temperature (P<.001, T1=69±9; T2=68±9; and T3=82±31), as well as for interaction (P<.001, PT1=66±7; PT2=69±10; PT3=109±18; UT1=71±11; UT2=67±8; and UT3=55±7). For marginal misfit (µm), also there was significant difference for the main factors, investment (P<.001, P=465±69 and U=69±58) and temperature (P=.024, T1=220±190; T2=250±212; and T3=332±312), as well as for interaction (P=.032, PT1=369±150; PT2=436±118; PT3=590±233; UT1=70±63; UT2=64±63; and UT3=74±52). However, for MCBS (MPa) there were no significant differences for the main factors, investment (P=.062) and temperature (P=.224), as well as for interaction (P=.149). It was concluded that investment U provided better castability and lower marginal misfit for CP titanium than investment P. T3 provided worse castability and higher marginal misfit for CP titanium than T1. The effect of the increase in mold final temperature on the castability of CP titanium was different between investments, producing better results for U and worse results for P, from T2 to T3; for marginal misfit, this effect was only observed for P, provided higher marginal misfit from T2 to T3. The MCBS was similar between investments and there were no differences with the increase in the mold temperature for casting CP titanium. (AU) | |
