With PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal

By using PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal and its proprietary dual-monomer technology, you can now simplify the bonding of any restoration to implant abutments without the use of separate primers or silane. Independent research has confirmed this new dual-monomer technology does not sacrifice adhesion or durability on glass-based ceramics or zirconia. The technique, in this case study, is for Ti-Base Implants, however, the basic technique on the treatment of the abutment and restoration may be used with any implant restoration combination.

Case report by Dr. Wissam Dirawi, DDS

During the last decade, zirconia has increasingly established itself as the material of choice in oral prosthodontic rehabilitation. Its great mechanical and inert properties are the main reason for this trend. Since the introduction of multi-layered zirconia blanks more than ten years ago, the optical properties have been improved dramatically. The multi-layered zirconia used nowadays (e.g. KATANA™ Zirconia YML from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) offers well-balanced mechanical properties, translucency and colour. It allows dental technicians from all over the world to produce aesthetic full-contour restorations that are merely stained.

Even in the anterior region, stained monolithic restorations may be an option. Factors such as the age of the patient, the internal colour structure of the adjacent dentition, the number of teeth to be restored (one versus all four or six maxillary anterior teeth), the aesthetic demands of the patient and financial aspects should be taken into account in the material selection process. In the case described below, full-contour zirconia was selected for several reasons.

BACKGROUND

The 71-year-old female presented in the clinical due to aesthetic problems in the maxillary anterior region. Oral hygiene was good and the patient was a non-smoker. Infraposition of the existing implant-based crown (Nobel Biocare Brånemark RP fixture) in the position of the right central incisor (tooth #11 according to the FDI notation) was evident. Moreover, gingival retraction was observed on the maxillary right lateral incisor (tooth #12), while the left lateral incisor (tooth #22) has a major composite filling with discolouration. The patient expressed the desire to adjust the gingival level differences and to restore the four maxillary incisors with all-ceramic crowns for optimal aesthetics.

MATERIAL SELECTION

Due to the decision to restore all four anterior incisors, monolithic zirconia was a suitable material option. It would allow the team to obtain the desired results within the financial framework. In order to meet the aesthetic demands of the patient, provide for the required mechanical properties and allow for proper masking of the underlying structures, KATANA™ Zirconia YML was selected. It offers colour, translucency and flexural strength gradation throughout the multi-layered blank.

TREATMENT PROCEDURE: FROM PREP TO TEMPORIZATION

In order to design the indirect restorations, a digital impression was taken with an intraoral scanner and the data was transferred to the dental laboratory Teknodont in Malmoe, Sweden. There, a digital wax-up was created. After patient approval, a matrix was produced and sent to the clinic. Here, the old restorations were removed and the three maxillary incisors (all but the one replaced by an implant) prepared for full coverage restorations. A healing abutment was placed on the implant and a temporary bridge produced chairside using the matrix and Protemp 4 Temporization Material (3M) in the shade A3. Subsequently, a gingivectomy was carried out with a ceramic burr (Ceratip, Kt.314.016 – KOMET) in the buccal aspect of the left central and lateral incisor.

After the patient’s approval of the aesthetics, phonetics and function of the temporary restoration, the situation was captured with an intraoral scanner again. This allowed the team to duplicate the shape of the construction. Based on the acquired data, a new set of splinted temporary crowns made of PMMA (HUGE Multilayer PMMA) in the shade A3 was milled in laboratory. They were placed to allow the patient to further evaluate the aesthetic appearance and function for a couple of weeks. The patient was happy with the phonetics, function and appearance of the crowns, which were merely slightly too bright in comparison to the adjacent teeth, and approved the shape for the production of the permanent restorations.

FINAL RESTORATIONS: PRODUCTION AND CEMENTATION

Based on the dataset of the temporary restorations, four separate crowns – one implant and three tooth-based – were designed in full contour. Without any anatomical reduction, the restorations were milled from KATANA™ Zirconia YML. Based on the evaluation of the temporary restoration, the shade selected this time was A3.5. CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain was used for external staining and glazing of the surface. Still in the laboratory, the implant-based crown was cemented to the gold-shaded titanium abutment (Elos Medtech) with PANAVIA™ V5 (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) in the shade opaque for an improved masking effect.

While the abutment crown was screwed onto the implant and the screw hole closed with composite, the three tooth-based crowns were placed using PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.).

CONCLUSION

Multilayered zirconia is a suitable material for many clinical situations. Due to the availability of modern types of highly translucent, multi-layered blanks, it is possible to produce aesthetic outcomes even when using the material monolithically – not only in the posterior region, but also in the aesthetic zone in some indications. The present case shows that very good results and patient satisfaction can be obtained. And due to outstanding mechanical properties, these outcomes may be expected to last for a long time.

Full-contour or an anatomically reduced design? When we need to decide how we want to design and finish a zirconia restoration we are asked to produced, many factors need to be taken into account – from aesthetics to function and from time- to budget-related ones. As the outcomes are strongly dependent on the optical and mechanical properties of the zirconia used, however, we are convinced that the first thing to do is to select a portfolio of high-quality zirconia materials. By experimenting with them in the dental laboratory, using different designs and finishing approaches with aligned materials and by comparing the results, you will be able to select the most appropriate concepts for your everyday work. In addition, you will develop a clear idea on when to use which concept.

Our own selection

The zirconia portfolio used in our dental laboratory consists of the KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered Series from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. It consists of three materials with a multi-layered colour structure designed to meet different needs with regard to flexural strength and translucency (KATANA™ Zirconia UTML, STML and HTML PLUS) and one material with colour, translucency and flexural strength gradation (KATANA™ Zirconia YML). Due to the favourable optical properties of this series and new effect liquids, it is often possible to opt for a full-contour design or – in the anterior region – for a slight cutback limited to the vestibular area plus a micro-layer of porcelain.

The effect liquids – Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia – were introduced n early 2023. They are applied to the surface of the milled zirconia to pre-treat tissue areas of large restorations, to add specific individual characteristics to the restoration or to prevent a greyish effect caused by the shining through of discoloured abutment teeth or metal parts. While most liquids are used on the outer surface of the restorations, the latter effect is achieved by applying Esthetic Colorant OPAQUE or WHITE to the intaglio.

Case example

The following case example describes the use of Esthetic Colorant in the context of producing a full-contour screw-retained implant bridge made of zirconia with a titanium bar. The zirconia part was milled from KATANA™ Zirconia YML, the vestibular morphology refined with rotating instruments and then, the vestibular, palatal and occlusal surfaces were treated with Esthetic Colorant as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The true colour effect is revealed after sintering.

Fig. 2. Occlusal view of the milled zirconia structure after the application of Esthetic Colorant BLUE, GRAY, ORANGE and PINK.

Fig. 3. Nicely pre-treated zirconia structure after sintering.

By adding some CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain and Glaze in the vestibular area and to the tissue parts, it is possible to finish this restoration in a nice way. The contact areas are always just polished to a high gloss in our approach, as it is the most antagonist-friendly way of treating the surface. As a final measure, the zirconia structure was connected to the titanium bar before it was sent to the dental office for try-in.

Conclusion

With a well-selected zirconia portfolio and aligned finishing solutions, it is easy to establish concepts that allow you to respond to the needs of virtually every patient in a streamlined way. In our experience, the use of high-quality products with good aesthetic properties – a high translucency and naturally pre-shaded multi-layer structure – pays off as it allows us to reduce the thickness or do without a porcelain layer. In this way, we are able to increase the efficiency of our procedures without compromising the outcomes.

The KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered Series and the new Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia support us in an ideal way by allowing us to efficiently produce a perfect base for whatever finishing approach we select.

Case by Kanstantsin Vyshamirski

A male patient (47 years of age) presented to his dentist with severe damage to his teeth. His main request was to increase aesthetics, to achieve a more pleasing envisaged aesthetic area. A side request was to achieve a ‘whitening but natural look’. This was achieved by using a lighter colour palette of zirconia and porcelain materials.

The final result was achieved through the creation of a wax-up, followed by a mock-up, provisional restoration and finally adhesive bonding of the zirconia crowns.

Clinical Case by DT Ghaith Alousi

What does it take to reconstruct teeth according to the patient’s individual sense of beauty? Experience shows that copying nature is the secret of success. To become a good duplicator, it is essential to develop an eye for detail with regard to tooth forms, surface morphology and the internal colour structure of the teeth to be copied. In addition, the duplicator needs to develop an understanding of the materials and tools used to copy those details. The last key success factor is taking pleasure in interacting with patients.

Clinical Case by MDT Mathias Berger

Highly reliable implants, advanced surgical techniques and innovative restorative materials, designs and approaches: modern implant dentistry has evolved into a predictable discipline producing aesthetic and functional outcomes, which are successful in the long term. Asking patients what they expect from a complex implant-supported reconstruction in the maxilla, natural aesthetics and biocompatibility are often demanded apart from functional aspects. With modern zirconia materials that offer the flexural strength required and well-balanced aesthetics, these demands are easily met.

The following case example is used to demonstrate how to maximise the potential of the recently introduced KATANA™ Zirconia HTML PLUS (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.), a multi-layered zirconia and the successor of KATANA™ Zirconia HTML with further improved strength and aesthetics. A special cutback design refined with hand instruments, shading with Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia and micro-layering with CERABIEN™ ZR porcelains (both Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) led to a quite natural result.

THE COMBINATION OF EFFECT LIQUIDS AND MICRO-LAYERING ON HIGHLY AESTHETIC ZIRCONIA IS THE EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS

Case by Leonidas Dimitriou, MDT

As an addition to its well-aligned portfolio of multi-layered zirconia (KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered series) and veneering porcelain for zirconia (CERABIEN™ ZR), Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. has recently introduced a set of dyeing liquids. Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia is applied to the surface of the monolithic or anatomically reduced zirconia restoration prior to the final sintering procedure. In this way, it is possible to imitate typical internal colour effects of natural teeth quite easily. Depending on the desired outcome, users may add just a final layer of glaze, liquid ceramics or stains and porcelains to their zirconia restorations treated with Esthetic Colorant. The following two case examples are used to demonstrate two different procedures involving the use of the effect liquids.

CASE EXAMPLE 1

In the first case, we produced three two-unit splinted crown restorations for six maxillary anterior teeth. The zirconia crowns (made of KATANA™ Zirconia YML) were anatomically reduced and individualized with Esthetic Colorant mainly in the incisal and cervical areas immediately after milling. For the application of the selected liquids, we used the Liquid Brush Pen specifically developed for Esthetic Colorant. The restorations were dried for half an hour, placed in the sintering furnace for sintering according to the recommended protocol for KATANA™ Zirconia and subsequently finished with CERABIEN™ ZR porcelains. Finally, CERABIEN™ ZR Paste Stain Glaze was applied for the final high-gloss finish.

CASE EXAMPLE 2

In this second case, two three-unit restorations were produced using KATANA™ Zirconia YML in the colour A3. We designed and milled them in full contour, then reduced them with hand instruments by 0.2 mm and added some texture effects to the surface before applying Esthetic Colorant. In this case, we played with different shades of Esthetic Colorant. Even when applied on a minimally reduced or monolithic surface, the liquids are able to create a nice depth effect as they diffuse into the zirconia structure. The amount of liquid applied is easily controlled with the Liquid Brush Pen, so that the intensity of the colours is predictable. After sintering, we added some internal stains, CERABIEN™ ZR Luster Porcelain and a final layer of CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain Glaze to finish the restorations. The outcome speaks for itself.

Working with high-translucency, multi layered zirconia (KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered series from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) paves the way toward indirect restorations that are closely adapted to our patients’ needs. Reduced wall thicknesses allow for minimally invasive tooth preparations, while polished zirconia in the occlusal contact areas provides for an antagonist-friendly behaviour. All this is possible due to the high aesthetic potential and homogeneous structure of the materials, which work well with a full-contour design or slight vestibular cutback. For individualization or characterization, different options are available. The portfolio of finishing solutions from Kuraray Noritake Dental has just been complemented by Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia, a set of twelve dyeing liquids for the company’s multilayered zirconia. They are applied to the milled restoration surface prior to sintering.

Some readers may wonder why there is a need for effect liquids applied to pre-shaded zirconia with a multi-layered colour structure. Being aware of natural teeth’s unique play of colours stemming from the shape and shade of the dentin core, however, the reason is quite obvious: Esthetic Colorant diffuses into the zirconia structure, hence allowing us to create depth effects even in monolithic restorations. Moreover, it enables the user to pre-treat tissue areas, and even by using the liquids on cutback designs, we are able to reproduce case-specific internal optical characteristics quite easily. Our standard approach for the use of Esthetic Colorant on KATANA™ Zirconia HTML Plus is described by means of the following case example: An implant- and tooth-based twelve-unit bridge with a slight vestibular cutback design, finished with Esthetic Colorant and CERABIEN™ ZR Porcelain.

FINAL SITUATION

Easy handling and application, impressive colour effects: Esthetic Colorant perfectly fits into our micro-layering approach with a cutback design adjusted to the age and needs of every patient. Being applied on the pre-sintered zirconia surface, the liquids do not require any extra heat treatment – the restoration is simply dried and then sintered as usual. Esthetic Colorant may be used instead of or in combination with internal stains, luster porcelains and liquid ceramics – whatever complements a laboratory’s existing approach to highly aesthetic zirconia restorations.
