Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the connection between the zirconia substructure and the porcelain in the dental crowns subjected to simulated occlusal forces. Design/methodology/approach: All-ceramic dental crowns were subjected to Vickers hardness examination, testing of compressive strength and observations of breakthroughs on the SEM. Findings: Based on the research, it was found that the compressive force at which ceramic crowns brake down, are in the range of maximum occlusal loads exerted by man. There is a mechanical connection between zirconia and porcelain. All-ceramic crowns of premolars showed the highest resistance to compressive force, while the crowns of canines are characterized by the lowest resistance to the loading force. In addition, through the research we found that ceramic crowns under static compressive loads brake down and the fracture line runs through the entire thickness of the wall, because zirconium oxide has more than twice the hardness of the porcelain. There is a difference of stresses between the materials, causing fracture of the restoration. Practical implications: The research work shows that the porcelain crowns on the substructure of zirconia (all-ceramic restoration) are a very good option of the restorative treatment in dentistry, rebuilding missing teeth. Originality/value: The article presents a study on the compressive strength of manufactured crowns, followed by a comparison to the natural forces of occlussion in human. The exact mapped tooth geometry and the appropriate veneering porcelain foundation of zirconium allows the use of prosthetic crowns in the patient's mouth without fear that porcelain will be broken.

Purpose: Thermoplastic materials, such as acetal (AC) and polyamide (PA), constitute an alternative to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based resins as the materials for removable partial dentures. However, none of the previous studies compared chewing efficiency and occlusal forces in the wearers of dentures made of various materials. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine and compare the chewing efficiency and occlusal forces in PMMA, PA and AC RPDs’ wearers. The hypothesis was that the type of denture base material shows a significant effect on chewing efficiency (expressed as a degree of food fragmentation) and occlusal force. Methods: The experiment included the group of 30 patients using removable partial dentures. The dentures made of PMMA, acetal and polyamide were tested in each patient. Each denture was worn for 90 days, with a random sequence of the denture manufacturing and insertion. After 7, 30 and 90 days of each denture wear, chewing efficiency coefficient was determined with the aid of a sieving method, and occlusal force was measured with a dynamometer. Results: The use of dentures made of PMMA or acetal was reflected by a marked increase in chewing efficiency and occlusal force. None of these parameters changed significantly with the time of denture wear. Moreover, no significant correlation was found between chewing efficiency and occlusal forces. Conclusions: Denture base material exerts significant effects on the degree of food fragmentation and the level of occlusal forces. The use of dentures and clasps made of materials with lower modulus of elasticity is associated with lower chewing efficiency and lower occlusal forces.
