An Invitro Study to Evaluate the Retentive Properties of Metal Crowns on Various Surface Roughnesses of Abutments.

Background Restorative dentists frequently deal with the prosthesis coming loose after placing multiple crowns. The luting cement holds indirect restorations to the prepared tooth. However, the success of the restorations is impacted by mastication pressures and other undesired factors. Therefore, escape is required to increase the crown's life. Mechanical locking of the prepared tooth surface is one technique to address this issue, in addition to cement adherence, to extend the life of the restoration. Aims and objective The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of surface roughness of prepared teeth on the retention of metal crowns. Methodology This in-vitro investigation was carried out on freshly extracted maxillary first premolars that were defect-free and had the same crown size. Using multiple grifts of varied coarseness, different surface roughness was created, allowing for the observation of an important factor like retention (black at 180-250 µm [micrometer], blue at 125-150 µm, green at 106-125 µm, red at 53-63 µm, yellow at 20-30 µm). Results IBM Corp. Released 2011. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. was used to perform the statistical analysis. Compounds were done before it began to guarantee that the study would have 80% power. There is a mean and a standard deviation for each quantitative variable. A one-way ANOVA was used for quantitative variables, and Tukey's post hoc analysis was conducted afterward. A probability value of less than 0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. According to the statistical findings, the prosthesis's retentive qualities improve as coarseness increases. Conclusion The resistance and retention form of the preparation is critical to the longevity of the prosthesis, based on the findings of the previously described study. Surface roughness, pins, slots, grooves, and other preparation modifications can enhance retention on the prepared tooth surface. The research findings indicate no need to polish the prepared tooth surface.
