RESUMO

Ceramic crowns have been widely used, however, problems related to brittle fracture of these materials persist, especially in the posterior area. The present study tested the null hypothesis that there were no differences in fatigue resistance related to the framework design as well as to the materials used. One maxillary molar was prepared, reproducing the complex morphology of a dental preparation, to receive metal-ceramic and all-ceramic crowns. Four groups (n=10) were established based on framework designs (standard and modified) for metal-ceramic (MC) and all-ceramic (CC) crowns, named as MCSA and CCSA for standard framework designs and MCCA and CCCA for the proposed framework design modifications. On the standard design, frameworks presented 0.5mm thick walls and those with design modification a 0.5mm thick framework with a vertical increase of 2.0mm lingual and 3.5mm proximal walls. All-ceramic frameworks were made with In-Ceram Alumina slip cast and the metal-ceramic frameworks were made with nickel-chromium alloy. All crowns were cemented with resin cement (Rely X ARC) on resin composite replicas, witch have an elastic modulus similar to dentin. They were subjected to dynamic cycling fatigue test (106 cycles or until fracture), at ranging load of 30-300N. Load was located between the buccal and lingual cuspals of the crowns. At 125.000 cycles intervals, crowns were analysed under a stereomicroscopy to search for damages. Crowns without fracture were polished sequentially and received scores according to the failure mode. Kruskal Wallis test was used to check if there were a significant differences between the framework design and materials (metal and ceramic) and the Student-Newman-Keuls was used for multiple comparisons. Significant differences were found between materials and designs, however, both metal frameworks (MCCA e MCSA) were similar. CCCA group showed higher survival than CCSA group. The metal presence in the framework seemed to improve the resistance to fatigue test. However, the design modification in ceramics achieved better results than the standard design.
