Abstract

This study investigated the influence of zirconia coping designs on the fracture load of all-ceramic crown. Four kinds of zirconia copings were designed (a: Conventional zirconia coping with flat occlusal surface: thickness of the each coping is 0.6 mm evenly, and at the cervical margin area, the coping is adjusted sharply so as to fit preparation margin, b: Conventional zirconia coping with shoulder collar of 1 mm: thickness of the each coping is 0.6 mm evenly, and there is a collar of 0.6 mm from the margin, c: Zirconia coping with following original cuspal configuration (concave): two inclined cusp planes, and at the cervical margin area, the coping is adjusted sharply so as to fit preparation margin, and d: Zirconia coping with supporting configuration on the occlusal area: supporting configuration against the occlusal force, and at the cervical margin area, the coping is adjusted sharply so as to fit preparation margin) and porcelain was fired. Vertical and lateral load were conducted until fracture. Coping design affected the fracture load; conventional uniform thickness coping design showed the lowest load (a), whereas cuspal configuration to perform even thickness of porcelain showed the highest fracture load both load directions (c).
