Dr. Pascal Magne (pronounced mahn-ya) recently joined Beverly Hills Dental Lab as Director of its Center for Education and Research in Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry (CER BRD), after a long and distinguished career in dental academia and research.
Upon graduating from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1989 with a Med Dent degree, he was offered a position as a lecturer at the dental school, while practicing and receiving further training in fixed prosthodontics and other technical skills. At the same time, he pursued two doctorates, one awarded in 1992 (DMD) and the other in 2002 (Ph.D.), the latter in conjunction with co-authoring the book Bonded Porcelain Restorations in the Anterior Dentition--A Biomimetic Approach, with his mentor, Professor Urs Belser, which has been translated into 12 languages. "The biomimetic principle refers to using technology and dental materials to preserve and replicate the structure and function of teeth," he explained.
He would add to his research on dental innovations at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1997-1999, before returning to Geneva. His discoveries have been widely published, resulting in many awards.
Before his graduation from dental school, Pascal had been captivated by the beautiful photos of the lifelike porcelain restorations created by his older brother, Michel, who was the in-house technician for a dentist.
In 1991, Pascal started working with Claude Sieber using a new dental porcelain developed with Vita. It was a turning point. "For the first time I could see the porcelain of a master inside of the mouth of my own patients," he said.
Pascal was recruited as a full-time tenured faculty of the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California School in 2004, as the Don and Sybil Harrington Professor of Esthetic dentistry. During his tenure at Ostrow, Dr. Magne spearheaded a multitude of curricular innovations in the areas of biomimetics, minimally invasive dentistry, and bonding techniques. His scholarly activity during his years there yielded over 100 peer-reviewed publications and over 200 continuing education programs nationally and internationally.
As the preclinical director (2012-2020) of the Dental Morphology, Function and Esthetics module at Ostrow, Dr. Magne has also developed an innovative approach to teaching dental anatomy and morphology. In 2021, Dr. Magne published the second edition of his bestselling book entitled Biomimetic Restorative Dentistry. It has already been translated into several languages.
After 33 years in the Academia, Dr. Magne eagerly accepted the exciting opportunity of the CER BRD educational programs offered by Beverly Hills Dental Laboratory last year.

Purpose: The present study aimed to assess fatigue resistance and color modifications of endodontically treated incisors (ETIs) submitted to internal bleaching and restored using three different techniques.
Materials and methods: Forty-five maxillary central incisors received endodontic treatment and were internally bleached. After the completion of bleaching, the ETIs were divided into three groups (n = 15) according to the different restoration procedures: 1) glass-ionomer cement base covered with composite resin (GI); 2) short fiber-reinforced composite resin base with composite resin (SF); 3) composite resin restoration over a fiberglass post (FP). Specimens were subjected to accelerated fatigue testing: frequency of 5 Hz, beginning with a load of 100 N for 5000 cycles and a 25-N load increase applied every 1700 cycles until a load of 1200 N was reached. Samples were loaded until fracture. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with the log-rank post hoc test were performed (α = 0.05). Tooth color was measured 4 weeks after the bleaching treatment and again after the final restoration procedure using a spectrophotometer and the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) L*a*b* system. L* values of the specimens were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk and paired sample t tests (α = 0.05).
Results: All groups showed similar survival mean cycles until failure (P = 0.332) and presented a major number of nonrestorable failures. The GI group presented the lowest number of nonrepairable fractures (GI = 68%, SF = 79%, FP = 86%) and showed the most stable L* value (P = 0.987).
Conclusions: The fatigue survival of internally bleached ETIs was not affected by the restorative technique utilized. Retaining the glass-ionomer base and covering the surface with composite resin should provide optimal color stability.
This study evaluates the fatigue resistance and failure mode of CAD/CAM composite resin and lithium disilicate-bonded screw-retained incisor crowns with long and short titanium bases. Sixty CAD/CAM implant restorations were fabricated using lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) and composite resin (Block HC, Shofu). The central incisor crowns were bonded to a prefabricated titanium base 6 mm tall (groups: Emax6 and Shofu6; n = 15 each) or a modified abutment 4 mm tall (groups: Emax4 and Shofu4; n = 15 each). The intaglio surface of the restorations was conditioned according to the material and bonded to the titanium abutments/bases using dual-cure cement. All assembled crowns were torqued onto implants and subjected to cyclic isometric loading at the incisal edge along the implant axis. Samples were loaded until fracture. Groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (log rank test at P = .05). The number of mean survived cycles differed significantly, with Emax6 and Emax4 at 48,448 and 43,727 cycles, respectively, and Shofu6 and Shofu4 at 44,124 and 37,620 cycles, respectively. Post hoc tests showed similar fatigue resistance for Emax6, Emax4, and Shofu6. Shofu4 was less resistant than all other groups (P < .03). All restorations survived significantly above physiologic load limits. Lithium disilicate screw-retained incisor crowns can be used with long and short titanium bases, while it is recommended to keep a long titanium base for screw-retained composite resin crowns. The composite resin material required the full height of the abutment for optimal strength but may offer enhanced shock absorption and wear-friendliness when considering function and antagonistic wear.
Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the resistance and failure mode of broken-down endodontically treated incisors without ferrule restored with CAD/CAM endocrowns.
Materials and methods: Endodontically treated bovine incisors (N = 30) without ferrule were divided into two groups and restored with two types of CAD/CAM endocrowns: lithium disilicate (Eld) or resin nanoceramics (Erc). The preparations included a 4-mm–deep ‘internal ferrule’ and immediate dentin sealing. The samples were subjected to accelerated fatigue testing. Cyclic isometric loading was applied to the incisal edge at a 30-degree angle at a frequency of 5 Hz, beginning with a load of 100 N (5,000 cycles). A 100 N load increase was applied every 15,000 cycles. Specimens were loaded until failure or to a maximum of 140,000 cycles. Previously published data from the same authors regarding lithium disilicate crowns over post-and-core buildups without ferrule (NfPf), core buildups without post without ferrule (NfNpFR), and with a 2-mm ferrule (FNp) using the same experimental setup were included for comparison. Groups were compared using the Kaplan Meier survival analysis for cycles (log rank pairwise post hoc test comparisons at P = 0.05) and Life Table survival analysis for load at failure, followed by the Wilcoxon pairwise comparison at P = 0.05.
Results: All specimens failed before 140,000 load cycles. There was no statistically significant difference between the endocrown materials (Eld: 53,448 mean endured cycles; Erc: 52,397 mean endured cycles; P = 0.844). Endocrowns outperformed the group with lithium disilicate crowns on incisors without ferrule and post-and-core buildup (NfPf with mean endured 35,025 cycles), showed no statistical difference compared with the group with no-post fiber-reinforced composite resin core buildup (NfNpFR with 45,557 mean endured cycles), and had a lower survival rate compared with the group with ferrule (FNp with mean endured 73,244 cycles). Endocrowns generated a majority of non-catastrophic failures (with an advantage for Erc), while 100% of catastrophic failures were found in the group with a post.
Conclusions: CAD/CAM endocrowns of nonvital incisors without ferrule improved the resistance and optimized the failure mode when compared with traditional bonded crowns with adhesive post-and-core and no-post buildups.
Ziel: Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es, die Ermüdungsbeständigkeit endodontisch behandelter Schneidezähne (EBS) mit CAD/CAM-Endokronen ohne zirkuläre Umfassung (ferrule) sowie die Bruchformen nach Fraktur zu untersuchen.
Material und Methode: Wurzelbehandelte Rinderzähne (n = 30) wurden in zwei Gruppen geteilt und mit CAD/CAM-Endokronen ohne zirkuläre Umfassung aus zwei verschiedenen Materialien restauriert: Lithiumdisilikat (LD) und Nanokomposit (NK). Die Präparation wurde mit 4 mm tiefer „interner Umfassung” und sofortiger Dentinversiegelung durchgeführt. Die Proben durchliefen folgenden Ermüdungstest: Die Schneidekanten wurden zyklischen isometrischen Belastungen im Winkel von 30° und mit einer Frequenz von 5 H z ausgesetzt, die bei einer Kraft von 100 N für 5000 Zyklen begann und anschließend alle 15000 Zyklen um 100 N gesteigert wurde. Der Ermüdungstest wurde bis zum Bruch oder maximal für 140000 Zyklen fortgesetzt. Früher publizierte Daten derselben Autoren zu Lithiumdisilikat-Kronen (1) ohne zirkuläre Umfassung mit Stift (oUmS), (2) ohne zirkuläre Umfassung, ohne Stift mit kurzfaserverstärktem Kompositaufbau (oUoSfv) und (3) mit 2 mm hoher zirkulärer Umfassung ohne Stift (mUoS), die mit der gleichen Versuchsanordnung erhoben worden waren, wurden zu Vergleichszwecken mit eingeschlossen. Die Gruppenvergleiche erfolgten mittels Kaplan-Meier-Schätzer für die Belastungszyklen (mit Post-hoc-Logrank-Test mit p = 0,05) und Sterbetafelanalyse für die Bruchlast, gefolgt von einem Wilcoxon-Paarvergleich (p = 0,05).
Ergebnisse: Alle Proben brachen vor Erreichen von 140000 Lastzyklen. Es gab keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den Endokronenmaterialien (mittlere durchlaufene Anzahl Lastzyklen: LD: 53448, NK: 52397, p = 0,844). Die LD- und NK-Endokronen bewährten sich besser als die Lithiumdisilikat-Kronen ohne zirkuläre Umfassung mit Stiftaufbau (oUmS) (die durchschnittlich 35025 Lastzyklen erreichten), zeigten keinen statistisch signifikanten Unterschied zur Gruppe mit faserverstärkter Aufbaufüllung ohne Wurzelstift und ohne zirkuläre Umfassung (oUoSfv) (durchschnittlich 45557 erreichte Zyklen) und hatten eine geringere Überlebensrate als die Gruppe mit zirkulärer Umfassung ohne Stift (mUoS) (durchschnittlich 73244 erreichte Zyklen). LD- und NK-Endokronen führten in der Mehrzahl zu nicht fatalen Frakturen (mit einem Vorteil bei der NK-Gruppe), während in der Gruppe mit Wurzelstift zu 100 % fatale Frakturen auftraten.
Schlussfolgerung: Im Vergleich mit adhäsiv befestigten klassischen Kronen mit Stiftaufbau verbessern CAD/CAM-Endokronen ohne zirkuläre Umfassung auf avitalen Schneidezähnen die Frakturbeständigkeit und die Bruchform.
Although it is generally accepted that a prosthetic restoration must take into account the gingiva, smile, and patient’s face, it is often difficult to determine precisely what facial references must be considered. The purpose of this study was to determine the correct vertical and horizontal facial reference planes in esthetic prosthetic treatment. Using photographic analysis of 160 individuals, the different facial reference planes (interpupillary, intermeatic, intercommissural, and incisal edge lines; facial midline; and Camper and Frankfort planes) were compared to the ideal prosthetic reconstruction axis. Additional measurements, including the human eye’s ability to perceive parallelism, were recorded. Most participants (64%) exhibited facial asymmetry. Asymmetry was horizontal (difference between widths of the right and left sides; 52.4%), vertical (difference between heights of the right and left sides; 6.9%), or mixed (4.7%). The interpupillary line is the main horizontal reference in 88.4% of situations, with the intercommissural line the second most important. In the profile view, the horizontal plane was on average 6.5 degrees above the Camper plane and 9 degrees below the Frankfort plane. The human eye’s ability to perceive parallelism between two lines was found to be limited to differences of approximately 1 degree. During anterior tooth reconstruction, it is necessary to take into account the right horizontal and vertical esthetic references. Knowledge of the biometric facial parameters in natural dentition is necessary to define the right reconstruction axes based on the facial symmetry or asymmetry.
Purpose: To evaluate in vitro the vertical seating of computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite resin inlays, onlays, and overlays luted with two different composite resins.
Materials and methods: Sixty plastic typodont molars were prepared for medium-sized MOD inlays, anatomic onlays, and flat overlays (n = 20); 3-mm thick at the central groove with similar morphology (Cerec biogeneric copy). Restorations were milled using Lava Ultimate blocks, and included standardized hemispherical occlusal concavity for seating measurements with an electromechanic system (force = 30 N). Restorations were luted either with preheated composite resin (Filtek Z100) or dual-cure resin cement (RelyX Ultimate). Seating of restorations was first evaluated at try-in (baseline). Seating was reevaluated after airborne-particle abrasion (Step 1), after seating with luting agent (Step 2), and after light polymerization (Step 3). The Friedman test followed by the Wilcoxon post hoc test were used to compare the seating among steps, and the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney post hoc test were used to compare the seating between luting agents at P < 0.05.
Results: Seating differences varied significantly from baseline (P < 0.0125). All restorations seated 3.85 µm (inlays) to 5.45 µm (onlays) deeper after airborne-particle abrasion (Step 1) (P < 0.007). Except for cement-luted inlays, the try-in position (±1 µm) was recovered following unpolymerized luting (Step 2). After polymerization (Step 3), onlays and overlays seated 2.9 to 3.9 µm deeper than during try-in (baseline) using Z100 (P < 0.005), and 7.0 to 7.3 µm deeper using RelyX (P = 0.005). Inlays luted with RelyX seated higher than during try-in (baseline), exactly 7.9 µm after Step 2 (P = 0.005), and 7.7 µm after Step 3 (P = 0.008). Luting with Z100 sustained the seating of inlays with no statistical difference when compared to baseline (P = 0.157).
Conclusion: Airborne-particle abrasion significantly deepens the seating of CAD/CAM composite resin restorations, but the presence of unpolymerized restorative composite resin luting agent perfectly compensates for this discrepancy. Following polymerization, onlays and overlays seat deeper compared to inlays, especially when using RelyX. The latter, however, resulted in a slightly higher seating of inlays.
Clinical significance: With the least variation compared to baseline seating (try-in), restorative composite resin used as luting agent resulted in the seating of CAD/CAM inlays, onlays, and overlays closer to baseline when compared to dual-cure resin cement.
Ziel: Der vertikale Sitz von CAD/CAM-gefertigten Kompositinlays, -onlays und -overlays wurde bei Verklebung mit zwei verschiedenen Kompositen untersucht.
Material und Methode: 60 Typodont-Molaren aus Kunststoff wurden für MOD-Inlays moderater Größe, anatomische Onlays und flache Overlays mittlerer Größe (n = 20) präpariert. Sie waren im Bereich der Zentralfissur 3 mm dick und wiesen eine ähnliche Morphologie auf (Cerec-Modus "Biogenerik-Kopie"). Die Restaurationen wurden aus Hybridkeramikblöcken (Lava Ultimate) gefräst und erhielten eine einheitliche halbkugelförmige okklusale Vertiefung für die Messung der Passung mit einem elektromechanischen System (Kraft = 30 N). Die Restaurationen wurden entweder mit einem vorgewärmten restaurativen Komposit (Filtek Z100) oder einem dualhärtenden Befestigungskomposit (RelyX Ultimate) verklebt. Der Sitz der Restaurationen wurde zunächst bei der Einprobe gemessen (Ausgangssituation) und jeweils nach dem Sandstrahlen (Schritt 1), dem Einsetzen mit dem Befestigungsmaterial (Schritt 2) und der Lichtpolymerisation (Schritt 3). Der Vergleich der Passung zwischen den einzelnen Schritten erfolgte mittels Friedman-Test, gefolgt vom Wilcoxon-post-hoc-Test. Der Kruskal-Wallis-Test mit anschließendem Mann-Whitney-post-hoc-Test diente dazu, den Sitz zwischen den beiden Befestigungsmaterialien zu vergleichen. Als signifikant galt p < 0,05.
Ergebnisse: Die Unterschiede bei der Passung wichen signifikant von den Werten der Ausgangssituation (p < 0,0125) ab. Alle Restaurationen saßen nach dem Sandstrahlen (Schritt 1) 3,85 µm (Inlays) bis 5,45 µm (Onlays) tiefer (p < 0,007). Nur die mit dem Befestigungskomposit verklebten Inlays erreichten nicht mehr die Position bei der Einprobe (± 1 µm) nach der noch unpolymerisierten Verklebung (Schritt 2). Nach der Polymerisation (Schritt 3) saßen die Onlays und Overlays 2,9 µm bis 3,9 µm tiefer als bei der Trockeneinprobe (Ausgangssituation), wenn Z100 (p < 0,005) verwendet wurde, und 7,0 bis 7,3 µm tiefer mit RelyX (p = 0,005). Mit RelyX befestigte Inlays saßen nach Schritt 2 genau 7,9 µm (p = 0,005) und nach Schritt 3 7,7 µm (p = 0,008) höher als während der Einprobe (Ausgangssituation). Die Befestigung mit Z100 führt bei Inlays zu einem Sitz, der verglichen mit demjenigen bei der Messung in der Ausgangssituation keinen statistisch signifikanten Unterschied aufwies (p = 0,157).
Schlussfolgerung: Sandstrahlen resultiert in einem signifikant tieferen Sitz CAD/CAM-gefertigter Kompositrestaurationen, aber das unpolymerisierte restaurative Komposit gleicht als Befestigungsmaterial diesen Unterschied perfekt aus. Nach der Polymerisation hatten insbesondere bei Verwendung von RelyX Onlays und Overlays einen tieferen Sitz als Inlays, während dasselbe Material zu einem etwas höheren Sitz von Inlays führt.
Klinische Bedeutung: Beim Vergleich der Unterschiede zwischen dem Sitz bei der Einprobe (Ausgangssituation) und bei der letzten Änderung zeigt sich, dass mit einem restaurativen Komposit als Befestigungsmaterial der Sitz von CAD/CAM-Inlays, -Onlays und -Overlays näher an dem bei der Trockeneinprobe gemessenen Wert lag, als wenn ein dualhärtendes Befestigungskomposit verwendet wurde.
Objectives: Evaluate the fatigue resistance and failure mode of novel-design implant restorations made of histoanatomic computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) bilaminar bonded assemblies.
Material and methods: 60 screw-retained implant restorations were fabricated. Monolithic restorations were used as a control group (15 lithium disilicate: group CE; and 15 nanofilled composite resin: group CL), and compared with bilaminar restorations (15 dentin-shaped lithium disilicate mesostructures with a bonded nanofilled composite resin veneer: group CEL; and 15 dentin-shaped nanofilled composite resin mesostructures with a bonded lithium disilicate veneer: group CLE). All monolithic and bilaminar restorations were assembled and bonded to a customized metal implant abutment. Cyclic isometric chewing (5 Hz) at a 30-degree angle was simulated, starting with 5,000 cycles at a load of 150 N, followed by 20,000 cycles with increments of 50 N. Samples were loaded until fracture or to a maximum of 160,000 cycles. The groups were compared using the Life Table survival analysis (logrank test at P = 0.05; post hoc tests at P = 0.008).
Results: In the CL group, restorations failed at an average load of 347.39 N (98.361 cycles), and in the CLE group at an average load of 313.20 N (83.105 cycles), and none of the specimens withstood all 160,000 load cycles. In the CE group, restorations failed at an average load of 381.47 N (119.115 cycles), and in the CEL group at an average load of 415.20 N (132.873 cycles), with survival rates of 26% and 33%, respectively. Post hoc tests from the load step data showed higher fatigue resistance of CEL compared with CLE (P = 0.003).
Conclusion: Lithium disilicate monolithic restorations and mesostructures with nanofilled composite resin veneer presented higher survival rates when compared with nanofilled composite resin restorations.
Ziele: Untersuchung der Ermüdungsbeständigkeit und der Gründe für das Versagen neuartiger Implantatrestaurationen aus histoanatomischen bilaminär verklebten CAD/CAM-Komponenten.
Material und Methode: Insgesamt wurden 60 verschraubte Implantatrestaurationen hergestellt. Als Kontrolle wurden monolithische Restaurationen verwendet, nämlich sowohl 15 aus Lithiumdisilikat-Keramik (CE-Gruppe) als auch 15 aus einem Nanopartikelkomposit (CL-Gruppe). Diese wurden mit folgenden bilaminären Restaurationen verglichen: 15 dentinförmigen Lithiumdisilikat-Mesostrukturen mit adhäsiv befestigtem Nanopartikelkomposit-Veneer (CEL-Gruppe) sowie 15 dentinförmigen Nanopartikelkomposit-Mesostrukturen mit adhäsiv befestigtem Lithiumdisilikat-Veneer (CLE-Gruppe). Alle monolithischen und bilaminären Restaurationen wurden mit einem individualisierten Metallabutment verklebt. Dann wurde zyklisches isometrisches Kauen (5 Hz) unter einem Winkel von 30° simuliert, beginnend mit 5000 Zyklen mit einer Belastung von 100 N, gefolgt von Lastschritten zu 20000 Zyklen bei einer Steigerung von jeweils 50 N. Die Proben wurden bis zum Bruch oder bis zu einem Maximum von 160000 Zyklen belastet. Zum Vergleich der Gruppen diente eine Sterbetafelanalyse (Log-rank-Test, p = 0,05; Post-hoc-Test, p = 0,008).
Ergebnisse: In der CL-Gruppe versagten die Restaurationen bei einer durchschnittlichen Belastung von 347,39 N (98,361 Zyklen), in der CLE-Gruppe bei einer durchschnittlichen Belastung von 313,20 N (83105 Zyklen), keine der Proben widerstand allen 160000 Lastzyklen. In der CE-Gruppe kam es bei einer durchschnittlichen Belastung von 381,47 N (119115 Zyklen) zum Versagen, in der CEL-Gruppe bei einer durchschnittlichen Belastung von 415,20 N (132873 Zyklen), bei Überlebensraten von 26 % bzw. 33 %. Post-hoc-Tests der Lastschritt-Daten ergaben eine höhere Ermüdungsbeständigkeit für CEL als für CLE (p = 0,003).
Schlussfolgerung: Monolithische Lithiumdisilikat-Restaurationen und -Mesostrukturen mit Nanopartikelkomposit-Veneer zeigten höhere Überlebensraten als Nanopartikelkomposit-Restaurationen.
Direct composite resin restorations have been recognized for their valuable clinical service and respect of intact hard tissue. The cost-effectiveness and inherent minimally invasive approach of resin-based materials means that they are also gaining popularity for use in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) procedures. Several cases from the student clinics at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC are presented that could have been resolved either with direct composite resin restorations or with indirect porcelain veneers. A novel semi-indirect CAD/CAM approach, characterized by its absolute noninvasiveness and simplicity, was chosen instead. The bilaminar restoration consists of a customized histoanatomical CAD/CAM dentin base (incisoproximal cutback), and a generic enamel skin. The patients can be treated either in one clinical session (semi-directly) or in two clinical sessions (semi-indirectly). The purpose of this article is to present another tool from the anterior restorative armamentarium to bridge the gap between direct and indirect techniques.
