- Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated toothbrush abrasion and in vitro aging on ceramic (indirect technique) and composite veneers (direct technique). Materials and methods: Identical composite and individual human incisors were restored with industrially preformed composite veneers, indirectly produced ceramic veneers, and direct composite restorations. Surface roughness was determined before and after tooth brushing. A 5-year period of oral service was simulated by thermal cycling and mechanical loading (TCML). After TCML, all specimens were examined with microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Specimens without failures during TCML were loaded until failure. Statistics: analysis of variance; Bonferroni's post hoc analysis, Kaplan-Meier-Log Rank test ( α = 0.05). Results: Tooth brushing yielded a non-significant increase ( p = 0.560) in roughness in all materials (industrial veneer, 0.12+/−0.07 μm, direct restoration, 0.18+/−0.14 μm, ceramic, 0.35+/−0.16 μm). No significant differences in roughness could be determined between the materials, neither before nor after testing ( p < 0.001). After TCML of artificial teeth, direct and preformed composite veneers on composite teeth showed no failures or damages. Two ceramic veneers showed cracking in the labial area. After TCML of human teeth, transmission microscopy indicated a facial crack in a ceramic veneer and chipping in the cervical area of a preformed veneer. Two direct composite veneers lost retention. No significantly different survival rates were found between the three veneer groups. Fracture force on human teeth varied between 527.8+/−132.4 N (ceramic), 478.3+/−165.4 N (preformed composite), and 605.0+/−263.5 N (direct composite). Conclusion: All materials revealed comparable wear resistance. Indirect ceramic, direct restorative composite, and preformed composite veneers showed comparable failure rates and satisfying longevity. Clinical relevance: The results indicate similar longevity of the chosen materials for veneer restorations.
