Dent Mater 2024; 40:747-755. [PMID: 38418282 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to 1) compare the stress corrosion coefficient (n) of a Y-TZP obtained by two fatigue tests: cyclic and dynamic and 2) evaluate the effect of frequency in the characteristic lifetime and the existence of interaction between the cyclic fatigue and slow crack growth. METHODS A total of 145 Y-TZP specimens were produced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. These specimens, measuring 4.0 × 3.0 × 25.0 mm, were used for dynamic (n = 70) and cyclic fatigue tests (n = 75). The specimens were obtained from CAD/CAM blocks, sectioned, and sintered in a furnace at 1530 °C with a heating rate of 25 °C/min. They were tested in their "as-sintered" form without any additional surface treatment. The fatigue tests were conducted using a four-point bending to obtain the slow crack growth parameters (n). The cyclic fatigue test was also conducted in two frequencies (2 and 10 Hz), using stress levels between 350 and 600 MPa. Data from these tests were analyzed using ASTM C 1368-00 formulas and Weibull statistics. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for fracture surface analysis to identify the origin of the fracture. Critical defect size was measured and used, along with flexural strength values, to estimate fracture toughness. Dynamic fatigue test data were used to obtain subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters and perform Weibull statistical analysis. The cyclic fatigue data were used in the General Log-linear Model equation using the ALTA PRO software. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc tests and Student's t-test at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS In the dynamic fatigue test, the values obtained for σfo and n were 667 and 54, respectively. This parameter indicates how the strength of the material diminishes over time due to internal cracks. The Weibull parameters obtained from the same test results were m = 7.9, σ0 = 968, 9 and σ5% = 767, which indicates the reliability of the material. The Weibull parameters obtained by cyclic fatigue were statistically similar for the two frequencies used, the m* was 0.17 (2 Hz) and 0.21 (10 Hz); characteristic lifetimes (η) were 1.93 × 106 and 40,768, respectively. The n values obtained by cyclic fatigue were 48 and 40 at frequencies of 2 and 10 Hz, respectively. There was no effect of the frequency, the stress level or the interaction of the two in the Y-TZP lifetime, when analysed by General Log Linear Model. SIGNIFICANCE the n values obtained by cyclic and dynamic fatigue tests showed no statistically significant difference and the effect of frequency in the characteristic lifetime and the existence of interaction between the cyclic fatigue and subcritical growth were not observed in the tested specimens.

Dent Mater 2024; 40:111-117. [PMID: 37926607 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of airborne particle abrasion (APA) and regeneration firing (RF) on the subsurface damage and strength distribution of 3D-printed 3Y-TZP and 5Y-PSZ zirconia parts for dental applications. METHODS Disc-shaped specimens were prepared using vat photopolymerization (VPP) technology from 3Y and 5Y zirconia ceramics, followed by thermal debinding and sintering. APA treatment with 50 µm Al2O3 particles and RF at 1000 °C for 15 min were applied. Microstructural analysis was conducted using FIB-SEM, and XRD analysis determined crystalline phase content. Biaxial flexural strength was measured using the ball on three balls method and analyzed with Weibull statistics. ANOVA and Tukey HSD test were employed to compare strength differences between groups. RESULTS APA treatment increased the flexural strength of the 3Y specimens but decreased it for the 5Y specimens. RF treatment reversed the effect, restoring the strength to as-sintered levels for both materials. APA-treated 3Y specimens exhibited characteristic strength values above 1400 MPa, attributed to phase-transformation toughening. As sintered 5Y specimens showed strength values above 600 MPa. APA treatment increased the Weibull modulus of the 5Y specimens, indicating a narrower defect size distribution. SIGNIFICANCE The study demonstrates that the impact of APA and RF treatments on the mechanical properties and reliability of VPP-fabricated 3Y-TZP and 5Y-PSZ ceramics is comparable to conventionally prepared zirconia. VPP technology for 3D printing provides a viable approach for future manufacturing of dental restorations with potential clinical applications.

Influence of high-speed sintering protocols on translucency, mechanical properties, microstructure, crystallography, and low-temperature degradation of highly translucent zirconia. Dent Mater 2021; 38:451-468. [PMID: 34961644 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.12.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Impacts of high-speed sintering on the optical and mechanical properties, microstructure, crystallography, and low-temperature degradation of commercial yttria-partially stabilized zirconia (Y-PSZ) were investigated. METHODS Five commercial Y-PSZ products (KATANA HT, KATANA STML, KATANA UTML, Zpex 4, and Zpex Smile) were investigated. Specimens were sintered following speed-sintering (~90 min) and conventional-sintering protocols (~7 h), and a group of KATANA STML was super-speed-sintered (18 min). Dimensions of the zirconia specimens after sintering were 14.5 mm (diameter) and 1.2 mm (thickness). Translucency was assessed using a colorimeter. Biaxial flexural strength was measured using a universal testing machine, followed by Weibull analysis. Scanning electron microscopy was used for microstructure assessments. X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the crystallography before and after hydrothermal aging. Low-temperature degradation (LTD) tests were performed at 134 °C under 2-3 bar water vapor in an autoclave. RESULTS The translucency and flexural strength were not affected significantly by the sintering programs (p > 0.05). The conventionally sintered KATANA STML and speed-sintered Zpex 4 presented the highest and lowest Weibull modulus, respectively. The conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ had a larger average grain size and smaller fraction of fine grains than those of the speed-sintered specimens. The fractographic analysis of the speed- and conventionally sintered Y-PSZ yielded comparable results. The speed-sintered Y-PSZ exhibited a lower c-ZrO2 content than that of conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ, except for KATANA HT and KATANA STML. LTD tests indicated that some of the speed and conventionally-sintered Y-PSZ exhibited similar monoclinic volume fractions. SIGNIFICANCE Speed-sintering programs are acceptable for Y-PSZ zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the impact of monolithic zirconia thickness on its color properties after different surface finishing and polishing procedures, and following aging in coffee solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two types of monolithic zirconia brands [Prettau Anterior (PA) and DD Cubex2 (DDC)] with three different thicknesses: 0.5, 1, and 1.5, and 10 mm diameter were tested. The color properties were evaluated after various surface finishing procedures (glazing, adjusting with burs + glaze, polishing, adjusting with burs + polishing) and after 5,000 cycles in a coffee solution were evaluated. The differences in color (ΔE) and translucency, were calculated and statistically analyzed by three-way ANOVA and pairwise comparison (α = 0.05). RESULTS The brand, material thickness, and surface finishing protocol before and after coffee thermocycling had significant effect on color variations (p < 0.001). For translucency, 3-way ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between the material thickness and surface finishing protocol following aging in coffee solution (p < 0.001), however no significant interaction was observed following the surface finishing protocols (p = 0.247). CONCLUSIONS The optical properties of monolithic zirconia ceramics can be influenced by the material brand, material thickness and the procedure of surface finishing and polishing. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians should take into consideration the potential change of the color properties of monolithic zirconia restorations following both contouring and occlusal adjustment procedures and coffee intake.

Effect of different grinding protocols on surface characteristics and fatigue behavior of yttria-stabilized zirconia polycrystalline: An in vitro study. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 124:486.e1-486.e8. [PMID: 32446636 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia frameworks milled by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) often require clinical adjustments. In addition, zirconia prefabricated abutments can also require customization to achieve an adequate emergence profile. However, the influence of grinding adjustment on the surface characteristics and mechanical behavior of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and the best grinding protocol is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different grinding protocols on the surface characteristics, phase transformation, and mechanical behavior of Y-TZP for frameworks and implant abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bar-shaped specimens were fabricated according to ISO 6872-2016 and divided into 3 groups: GC (control, untreated), GA (grinding and finishing with medium and fine diamond rotary instruments using high-speed handpiece under constant water cooling), and GB (grinding and finishing with coarse and medium diamond rotary instruments, respectively, using slow-speed handpiece without water cooling). After specimen grinding, the topography and surface roughness were evaluated by using a laser confocal microscope, the Young modulus was measured by the impulse excitation technique, and crystallographic phase transformation was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Specimens were then submitted to step-stress accelerated life testing (n=18). The surface roughness and Young modulus results were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). The data of step-stress accelerated life testing were analyzed by the survival probability considering the number of cycles and force until fracture. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found among groups considering surface roughness (GA>GB>GC) (P<.05) and Young modulus (GB>GA=GC) (P=.003). X-ray diffraction showed that grinding leads to phase transformation, GC showed only tetragonal phase, while GA and GB showed tetragonal and monoclinic phases. No statistically significant difference (P<.05) was found among groups submitted to the same loading profile when the survival probability was compared, but significant difference was found between the light and moderate loading (P=.002) and light and severe loading (P=.014) of GB when different loading profiles in each group were compared. CONCLUSIONS Although grinding protocols affected surface characteristics and promoted phase transformation, the mechanical behavior of Y-TZP was not impaired. Therefore, both the grinding protocols tested can be safely used based on the evaluated properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study evaluated the effect of grinding on the surface morphology, mean roughness, crystalline phase, flexural strength, and Weibull modulus of monolithic (MZ) and conventional (CZ) zirconias. METHODS AND MATERIALS CZ and MZ bars and square-shaped specimens were distributed into three subgroups, combining grinding (G) and irrigation (W) with distilled water: Ctrl (Control: no grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.2 mm and 12 × 1.2 mm), DG (dry grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm), and WG (grinding with irrigation, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm). The grinding (0.3 mm) was performed on a standardized device using a low-rotation wheel-shaped diamond stone. The four-point flexural strength test was performed on the EMIC 2000 machine (5 KN, 0.5 mm/min). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the surface morphology. An X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to obtain the crystalline structures that were analyzed by the Rietveld method. Flexural strength (FS) values were subjected to the Shapiro-Wilk test and two-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey's test (for all tests, α=0.05). RESULTS Grinding, either with or without irrigation, did not change the FS of the MZ but increased the FS of the CZ. Both MZ and CZ showed similar morphologic patterns after grinding, and in the WG groups, the grinding was more aggressive. The MZ had greater monoclinic content in all groups; grinding without irrigation caused the smallest t→m transformation. CONCLUSION The grinding, when necessary, should be carried out without irrigation for conventional and monolithic zirconias.
