    Abstract:
    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The effect of clinical adjustments on the strength of cemented computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) monolithic materials under aging challenge is unclear. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the surface roughness and fracture resistance (with or without mechanical aging) of cemented CAD-CAM monolithic materials submitted to grinding and polishing procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disks of Lava Ultimate, Vita Enamic, crystallized Vita Suprinity, and IPS e.max CAD were analyzed for roughness after polishing by using silicon carbide papers (Lava Ultimate and Vita Enamic) or glazing (IPS e.max CAD and Vita Suprinity) (control), after grinding by using 30-μm grit diamond rotary instruments, and after grinding and polishing by using a polishing kit. For fracture resistance, a simplified trilayer model consisting of a restorative disk, an epoxy resin disk, and a steel ring was used. The bonded trilayer disks received the same treatments described for the roughness analysis. Half of the specimens underwent mechanical aging for 1×106 cycles. All specimens were loaded until failure. The Weibull modulus was calculated. RESULTS: The IPS e.max CAD and Vita Suprinity showed the highest roughness after grinding and the lowest at baseline. For the Lava Ultimate and Vita Enamic, polishing provided lower roughness than at baseline. Grinding, followed or not by polishing, and mechanical aging did not adversely affect the fracture resistance or the reliability of the materials. CONCLUSIONS: Polishing did not recover the initial surface roughness of the glass-ceramic materials. Fracture resistance was not affected by grinding, followed or not by polishing, even after mechanical aging.
