Trinia Reinforced Polymer as Core for Implants Superstructure

Abstract

The intraosseous implants are the most used dental implants. The development of new classes of dental biomaterials determined the apparition of Trinia, a Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) reinforced polymer, used for core in non-metallic prosthetic restorations, including implants superstructure. The aim of the study was to present the obtained results in the use of Trinia polymer as non-metallic core on the abutments of Bicon implants. 35 patients were selected, 19 females and 16 males, aged between 31 and 60 years. After 18 months of results monitoring, we ascertained that Trinia reinforced polymer had a very good behavior in the oral cavity, and the patients did not complain about inconveniences due to the oral rehabilitation with this biopolymer.

Effect of surface treatment on roughness and bond strength of CAD‐CAM multidirectional glass fiber‐reinforced composite resin used for implant‐supported prostheses

“…FRC is used as an alternative framework material with multidirectional glass fibers, which are kept together by epoxy resin and a multilayer polymer. FRC has lower specific weight compared with zirconia and Co–Cr 9,10 . In addition, the mechanical properties of FRC have been reported to be comparable with those of PAEK‐like materials, zirconium and Co–Cr 10,11 .…”

A Potential Application of Materials Based on a Polymer and CAD/CAM Composite Resins in Prosthetic Dentistry

“…Aiming for the development of material with better characteristics than ceramics and glass ceramics, the production of resin CAD/ CAM composite blocks had started. Owing to its composition and structure, CAD/CAM composite resin materials have good esthetical and mechanical properties, such as firmness, flexibility, and durability [1,17]. Compared to metal alloys, it has biocompatibility, while its edge stability, excellent machinability, and reduced brittleness are its advantages, compared to ceramic/glass-ceramic blocks [46].…”

“…Trinia (Shofu Dental Corporation, San Marcos, USA), a recently introduced indirect resin-based composite material, belongs to a group of glass-reinforced composite materials and is described as a 3D fiber reinforced composite (FRC), manufactured for CAD/CAM applications [17,47]. It is 60% glass fibers and 40% epoxy resin fabricated through several layers of multi-directional interlacing.…”

“…It is 60% glass fibers and 40% epoxy resin fabricated through several layers of multi-directional interlacing. Glass-fibers permeate resin layers and give the material the firmness similar to a thermally hardened thermoplastic plate [17,18,48].…”

“…Due to the limited application of pressed ceramics, and frequent cracking of porcelain layers in zirconia ceramics [13], the latest studies have examined a new class of biomaterials, belonging to a large group of resin-based materials and polymers, that are glass-fiber or ceramics reinforced. They are computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite resin materials, as well as polymer based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK), such as BioHPP (Bioactive High Performance Polymer) [14][15][16][17][18]. A reinforcement of resin materials with glass-fibers or ceramics significantly improves their mechanical and functional-aesthetic characteristics and their biological tolerance [1].…”
