There was a great problem about the deposition between materials of a different kind at the beginnings of the introduction of porcelains, however, thereafter the deposition efficiency was settlded to the sufficient level of all user thanks to effort to have studied by many scholars and clinical authorities. But in a clinical process, as the difference of designs has an effect on fractures of porcelains, this researcher divided them into 4 groups of A: 1 mm, B: 2 mm, C: 3 mm, and D: 4 mm, and made 40 pieces to each 10 as the test samples to consider a length axis of tooth for studies in accordance with a position of a finishing line to meet between porcelain and metal at the contact point at the adjacent side to a metal porcelain. The sample materials are those to be use at the open market and the test samples wer completed by the same manufacturing technique to that of existent metal porcelain tube. s a result of the strength test on fractures, the average value is as in the following, A: 1 mm - 8.5bar, B: 2 mm - 10.5bar, C: 3 mm - 14.3bar, and D: 4 mm - 15.0bar. In case of the metal porcelain tube, the more faraway to process parts of metal and porcelain from the contact point of adjacent side has the stronger strength of fractures, Accordingly, the research shows that it had better to keep off more than 3 to consider a ledngth axis of tooth.

A Study on the Fracture Strength of All-Ceramic Crown according to the Zirconia Coping Design using CAD/CAM System L. Bulgan, In-Ho Cho, Soo-Yeon Shin Department of Prosthodontics, Graduate School, Dankook University The fracture strength of prosthesis is important, because it affects the function, and long term success of prosthesis and teeth. The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of zirconia coping designs. Experimental test group were classified into three designs according to coping design, Modified design: Zirconia coping margin was located at 1mm above the axiogingival line angle. Collarless design: The coping margin terminated at the axiogingival line angle Butt design: The coping margin was extended to the finishing line of prepared margin. A $Cercon^{(R)}$(Degussa, Germany) CAD/CAM system was used to make the zirconia coping. Fracture strength was measured using loading machine at a cross head speed of 1mm/min. The results were statistically analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and multiple comparison test. Statistical significance was set in advance at the probability level of less than 0.05. The result : I. Collarless($738N{\pm}155N$) and Modified($755N{\pm}185N$) groups showed significantly a lower fracture strength than Butt($1057N{\pm}262N$) group(p<0.05). II. There were no statistical differences of the fracture strength between Modified($755N{\pm}185N$) and Collarless($738N{\pm}155N$) groups. III. When comparing the fractured surface, all the group showed porcelain fracture, which were fractured at the labial surface of baked porcelain The butt design of the zirconia coping has higher fracture strength than modified and collarless design.
