Jamali M, Ezoji F, Esmaeili B, Khafri S. Comparative effects of glazing versus polishing on mechanical, optical, and surface properties of zirconia ceramics with different translucencies. Clin Exp Dent Res 2024; 10:e884. [PMID: 38798053 PMCID: PMC11128755 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the effects of glazing versus polishing on mechanical, optical, and surface properties of zirconia ceramics with different translucencies. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 120 bar-shaped specimens (25 × 4 × 1.2 mm) were fabricated from three different types of zirconia with different translucencies (n = 40, DD Bio ZW, ZX2, and Cube X2). After sintering, each zirconia group was randomly divided into five subgroups of control (glazing), glazing + bur abrasion, glazing + bur abrasion + polishing with EVE Diacera® kit, glazing + bur abrasion + reglazing, and glazing + bur abrasion + polishing with EVE Diacera® kit + reglazing. The specimens underwent surface roughness, hardness, flexural strength, and translucency tests, as well as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for assessment of surface topography. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, Tukey test, and Pearson test (α = .05). RESULTS Flexural strength, surface hardness, and translucency were significantly correlated with zirconia type. ZW zirconia had significantly higher flexural strength and surface hardness and significantly lower translucency than Cube X2 and ZX2 (p < .001). Surface roughness had no significant correlation with zirconia type (p = .274). Polishing created the smoothest, and bur abrasion created the roughest surface (p < .001). Flexural strength and hardness in most experimental groups were significantly lower than in the control group (p < .001). Translucency was not significantly different in bur abrasion and polishing groups, compared with the control group; however, reglazing significantly increased the translucency (p < .001). SEM micrographs confirmed the surface roughness results. XRD showed monoclinic phase only in reglazed groups. CONCLUSION Of different surface treatments, polishing improved the surface properties and caused the smallest change in mechanical properties of zirconia with different translucencies.

Elraggal A, Aboushelib M, Abdel Raheem IM, Afifi RR. Effect of surface treatments on biaxial flexural strength, fatigue resistance, and fracture toughness of high versus low translucency zirconia. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:412. [PMID: 36123676 PMCID: PMC9487058 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02431-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical surface treatments can deteriorate the mechanical properties of zirconia. This study evaluated and compared the biaxial flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistance of high translucency (HT) to low translucency (LT) zirconia after various mechanical surface treatments. METHODS Four hundred eighty zirconia discs were prepared by milling and sintering two HT (Katana and BruxZir) and LT (Cercon and Lava) zirconia blocks at targeted dimensions of 12 mm diameter × 1.2 mm thickness. Sintered zirconia discs received one of the following surface treatments: low-pressure airborne particle abrasion (APA) using 50 µm alumina particles, grinding using 400 grit silicon carbide paper, while as-sintered specimens served as control. Internal structure and surface roughness were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a non-contact laser profilometer, respectively. Half of the discs were tested for initial biaxial flexural strength, while the rest was subjected to 106 cyclic fatigue loadings, followed by measuring the residual biaxial flexural strength. Fractured surfaces were examined for critical size defects (c) using SEM to calculate the fracture toughness (KIC). The effect of surface treatments, zirconia type, and cyclic fatigue on the biaxial flexural strength was statistically analyzed using three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey HSD post hoc tests (α = 0.05). Weibull analysis was done to evaluate the reliability of the flexural strength for different materials. RESULTS The initial biaxial flexural strength of LT zirconia was significantly higher (p < 0.001) than that of HT zirconia in all groups. While low APA significantly increased the biaxial flexural strength of LT zirconia, no significant change was observed for HT zirconia except for Katana. Surface grinding and cyclic fatigue significantly reduced the flexural strength of all groups. High translucency zirconia reported higher fracture toughness, yet with lower Weibull moduli, compared to LT zirconia. CONCLUSION LT zirconia has higher biaxial flexural strength, yet with lower fracture toughness and fatigue resistance, compared to HT zirconia. Low-pressure APA has significantly increased the biaxial flexural strength in all zirconia groups except BruxZir. Grinding was deteriorating to biaxial flexural strength and fracture toughness in all zirconia types. Cyclic fatigue has significantly decreased the biaxial flexural strength and reliability of HT and LT zirconia.

3-D Surface Morphological Characterization of CAD/CAM Milled Dental Zirconia: An In Vitro Study of the Effect of Post-Fabrication Processes. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15134685. [PMID: 35806812 PMCID: PMC9268120 DOI: 10.3390/ma15134685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect on zirconia surface of the post-fabrication surface treatments on the morphological characteristics and mechanical properties of CAD/CAM milled dental zirconia specimens as well as to identify the critical parameters in the measurement of oral retention under in vitro circumstances. Method: The zirconia specimens (N = 20, n = 4) were subjected to CAD/CAM milling and divided into five groups. The specifications were: Group G1—sintered; Group G2—sintered followed by a polishing process; Group G3—sintered followed by polishing and sandblasting with alumina particles Al2O3 (110 µm); Group G4—sintered followed by sandblasting; Group G5—sintered followed by sandblasting with polishing as the end process. All the groups were subjected to Fretting wear tests, 3-D surface roughness measurements, and Vickers’s Micro hardness tests. Investigation of the phase transformation using XRD, and surface feature examination using SEM were also carried out. Additionally, one-way ANOVA, Tukey, and Pearson correlations were statistically analysed. Results: The fabrication processes had a significant effect on the performance of zirconia specimens in all the groups (p > 0.05). Specimens that underwent polishing as the last process exhibited lower surface roughness. The monoclinic phase of zirconia was observed in all the specimens before and after wear except for those in the G2 and G5 groups, where polishing was the end process. In G5, the post-wear surface properties revealed lower surface roughness and hardness. Further, the SEM and 3-D topography show grooves as seen by the dale void volume (Vvv) values; shallow valley depth (Svk); micro craters; and wear track. Conclusion: Specimens in G5 that were subjected to multistep post-fabrication process, namely sandblasting followed by polishing, yielded better results when compared to those in the other groups (G1, G2, G3, and G4). G5 with an interlayer of alumina is recommended for clinical applications due to its enhanced surface properties, mechanical properties, and low wear.

Effect of Different Surface Treatments and Orthodontic Bracket Type on Shear Bond Strength of High-Translucent Zirconia: An In Vitro Study. Int J Dent 2022; 2022:9884006. [PMID: 35761965 PMCID: PMC9233604 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9884006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Considering the increasing number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment, and the possible need for bracket bonding to monolithic zirconia restorations, knowledge about the preferred type of bracket (metal/ceramic) and the most efficient surface treatment is imperative to achieve acceptable shear bond strength (SBS). This study aimed to assess the effect of different surface treatments and orthodontic bracket types on SBS of high-translucent zirconia. Materials and Methods Totally, 248 disc-shaped zirconia specimens were assigned to two groups for bonding to metal and ceramic brackets. Each group was divided into four subgroups (n = 31) for the following surface treatments: no surface treatment (control group), airborne-particle abrasion (APA), tribochemical silica coating with CoJet, and CO2 laser irradiation. The mean surface roughness (Ra value) was measured. The SBS was measured after bracket bonding and thermocycling. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, Tukey, Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney, and Fisher exact tests, and Bonferroni correction (α=0.05). Results The mean Ra value was significantly different among the surface treatment subgroups (P < 0.001). The APA and CoJet subgroups were not significantly different regarding Ra (P=0.754). All other pairwise comparisons yielded significant differences (P < 0.001). Bracket type, surface treatment, and their interaction significantly affected the SBS (P < 0.001). Ceramic brackets bonded to zirconia surfaces treated with CoJet yielded the maximum SBS while ceramic brackets bonded to control and lased surfaces resulted in minimum SBS. No significant difference was noted in the SBS of different surface treatment groups when metal brackets were used (P > 0.05). Conclusions The use of ceramic brackets and CoJet surface treatment would be the most appropriate combination to achieve optimal bonding to high-translucent zirconia restorations.

Abstract
Objective Intraoral polishing systems have become an alternative method for reglazing, which is important to prevent or minimize rapid wear of the opposing teeth. To assess the influence of different polishing systems and duration on surface roughness and crystal structure of zirconia was compared, contributing to the preparation and effect improvement of clinical zirconia restorations. Methods Forty-eight zirconia specimens with equal size were fabricated by cutting and sintering zirconia discs. Then X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was adopted for examination of the specimens. Six specimens were selected as the grinding-polishing group (GL) after polishing, grinding, and glazing. Then six specimens were randomly selected from the remaining specimens as the grinding-unpolished group (GR) after surface conditioning by dental diamond burs. Subsequently, based on different polishing systems and duration, the rest of specimens were divided into following groups (n = 6): Youdent-20s group (Y20), Youdent-40s group (Y40), Youdent-60s group (Y60), Toboom-20s group (T20), Toboom-40s group (T40), and Toboom-60s group (T60). Additionally, a contour graph was applied for assessing the surface roughness of zirconia, scanning electron microscope (SEM) for observing surface topography, and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) for determining crystal structure of zirconia. Results The GR group had the highest roughness, and the roughness of the specimens polished for 20 s with different polishing systems was significantly higher than those polished for 40 s and 60 s with the same polishing systems. There were no significant difference between the Y20 and T20 groups, while the roughness of the specimens in both Y40 and Y60 groups was significantly higher than that of the T40 and T60 groups. And with the increasing polishing duration, the surface morphology of the specimen was gradually smooth and the morphology was gradually regular. Besides, the surface scratches of the T group were shallower than that of the Y group at the same polishing duration. The peak value of XRD profile of the specimen after grinding and polishing process was consistent with the baseline pattern of that the original specimen. Conclusion Glazing can reduce the surface roughness of the specimens. Besides, the polishing effect of Toboom (TOB) system (polishing duration = 60 s) is the best. And different polishing durations of TOB system have no significant effect on the crystal surface structure of the specimen.

Abstract
Amongst dental ceramics, nano zirconia (ZrNp) has shown exceptional developments in the field of dentistry in recent years. Zirconia is an oxide that possess superior optical, mechanical, and biological properties. As a novel nanoparticle, it has been widely used in various fields of dentistry due to its improved mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and stable structure. Provision of metal free solutions is one of the prime requirements in dental materials. Many metal alloys used extensively possess unaesthetic colors and display chemical interactions in the oral cavity encouraging use of zirconia for dental use. Use of ZrNp based ceramics has increased due to its resistance to corrosion, superior color matching that enhances esthetics and improved strength compared to conventional biomaterials. This review discusses the recent scientific literature on the synthesis, properties and types, applications, and toxicity of ZrNp in the field of dentistry.

A Comparative Study on Simulated Chairside Grinding and Polishing of Monolithic Zirconia. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15062202. [PMID: 35329653 PMCID: PMC8950357 DOI: 10.3390/ma15062202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of different simulated chairside grinding and polishing protocols on the physical and mechanical properties of surface roughness, hardness, and flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Sintered monolithic zirconia specimens (15 mm × 3 mm × 3 mm) were abraded using three different burs: diamond bur, modified diamond bur (zirconia specified), and tungsten carbide bur, along with a group of unprepared specimens that served as a control group. The study was divided into two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. Surface roughness, surface hardness, and flexural strength were assessed before and after the grinding procedure to determine the ‘best test group’ in Phase 1. The best abrasive agent was selected for Phase 2 of the study. The specimens in Phase 2 underwent grinding with the best abrasive agent selected. Following the grinding, the specimens were then polished using commercially available diamond polishing paste, a porcelain polishing kit, and an indigenously developed low-temperature sintered zirconia slurry. The physical and mechanical properties were again assessed. Results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test. Specimens were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for their microstructure and crystalline phases, respectively. Grinding with diamond burs did not weaken zirconia (p > 0.05) but produced rougher surfaces than the control group (p < 0.05). Tungsten carbide burs did not significantly roughen the zirconia surface. However, specimens ground by tungsten carbide burs had a significantly reduced mean flexural strength (p < 0.05) and SEM revealed fine surface cracks. Phase transformation was not detected by XRD. Polishing with commercially available polishing agents, however, restored the surface roughness levels to the control group. Dental monolithic zirconia ground with tungsten carbide burs had a significantly reduced flexural strength and a smooth but defective surface. However, grinding with diamond burs roughened the zirconia surface. These defects may be reduced by polishing with commercially available polishing agents. The use of tungsten carbide burs for grinding dental zirconia should not be advocated. Grinding with diamond abrasives does not weaken zirconia but requires further polishing with commercially available polishing agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of adjustment and finishing procedures and thermal aging of monolithic zirconia on the surface roughness, phase transformation, and flexural strength. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred disk-shaped monolithic zirconia specimens were randomly divided into 5 groups: control, received only glazing; group Gr, was grinded; group GrP, was grinded and polished; group GrG, was grinded and re-glazed; group GrPG, was re-glazed after grinding and polishing. Half of the each group were stored in distilled water for 24 h and the remaining were thermocycled for 5000 cycles. Topographic evaluations were done with profilometer and scanning electron microscope. Phase changes were assessed through X-ray diffractometer. The biaxial flexural strength test was calculated by universal test machine. Statistical analysis was performed by using two-way ANOVA and Tukey multiple comparison test (p < 0.05). RESULTS Group Gr showed statistically higher surface roughness and flexural strength values than the other groups (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences were observed between finishing groups (p >0.05). Phase transformation was occurred in all groups but the differences were not statically significant (p >0.05). Artificial aging had no effect on surface roughness, flexural strength, and phase transformation (p >0.05). CONCLUSION Surface roughness significantly increased after grinding, but finishing procedure approximated it to the control group. Glazing after grinding decreased the flexural strength, but polishing did not. Zirconia polishing system may be an alternative to re-glazing for monolithic zirconia. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Polishing is one of the most effective finishing procedures that can improve the physical properties of the material without damaging its mechanical properties.

Abstract
Glazing is the final heat treatment process in the manufacturing of a monolithic zirconia prosthesis. Herein, the effect of cooling rate during zirconia glazing was investigated. A 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal was glazed at the general cooling rate suggested by the manufacturer, as well as at higher and lower cooling rates, and the differences in flexural strength, hardness, optical properties, and crystal structure were evaluated. A higher cooling rate did not affect the flexural strength, hardness, grain size, optical properties, or crystal structure; however, the Weibull modulus decreased by 1.3. A lower cooling rate did not affect the flexural strength, optical properties, or crystal structure; however, the Weibull characteristic strength increased by 26.7 MPa and the Weibull modulus increased by 0.9. The decrease in hardness and the increase in grain size were statistically significant; however, the numerical differences were negligible. This study revealed that a lower cooling rate provides more reliable flexural strength. Therefore, glazing can proceed at a general cooling rate, which takes 3-4 min; however, glazing at a lower cooling rate will provide a more consistent flexural strength if desired, despite being time-consuming.

The Effect of Translucency and Surface Treatment on the Flexural Strength of Aged Monolithic Zirconia. Int J Dent 2021; 2021:8022430. [PMID: 34795763 PMCID: PMC8594981 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8022430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of the degrees of translucency in different types of monolithic zirconia as well as the aging and surface treatment with airborne particle abrasion on the flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Materials and Methods Sixty bar-shaped specimens were fabricated from three different types of presintered monolithic zirconia (n = 20 per group) including low translucent (LT) (DD Bio ZW iso, high strength zirconia, Dental Direkt, Germany), high translucent (HT) (DD Bio ZX2 98, high translucent zirconia, Dental Direkt, Germany), and multilayered system (ML) (DD cubeX2®ML, multilayer, cubic zirconia system, Dental Direkt, Germany). Each monolithic zirconia group was equally subdivided according to be either air-abraded with 110 µm aluminium oxide particles or left untreated (control). After thermocycling, the flexural strength was measured by using a universal testing machine. Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc and independent samples t-test were used for the statistical analyses (P < 0.05). Results Surface treatment and types of zirconia were found to have a significant interaction (P = 0.010). Having controlled the effect of surface treatment, the flexural strength of HT and LT zirconia was found to be significantly higher than the ML zirconia system (P ≤ 0.001). Airborne particle abrasion could significantly decrease the flexural strength of monolithic zirconia only in ML zirconia (P = 0.002). Conclusions Multilayered zirconia system had the lowest flexural strength among all groups. Moreover, the flexural strength of this system was attenuated by surface treatment with airborne particles abrasion.

Abstract
Background Surface treatments are expected to be a reason for alteration in fracture resistance of zirconia. This study evaluated the effect of post-sintering processes on the fracture toughness of different types of monolithic zirconia.
Material and Methods Classical- (Cz) and high-translucent (Hz) monolithic zirconia discs (1.2 mm thickness, 14 mm in Ø) were prepared, and randomly divided for surface treatments with 1) as-glazed (AG); 2) finished and polished (FP); 3) finished, polished, and overglazed (FPOG); and 4) finished, polished, and heat-treated (FPHT) technique (n=15/group). Fracture toughness (KIC) was determined with indentation fracture toughness method at load 1 kg for AG, FPOG and 10 kg for FP, FPHT with 15 sec dwelling time. Weibull analysis was applied for survival probability, Weibull modulus (m), and characteristic toughness (K0). Microstructures were examined with SEM and XRD. ANOVA and multiple comparisons were determined for significant differences (α=0.05).
Results The mean±sd value of KIC (MPa.m1/2), m, and K0 were 1.60±0.19, 7.27, 1.71 for CzAG; 9.57±0.89, 9.97, 10.96 for CzFP; 1.61±0.15, 10.56, 1.68 for CzFPOG; 6.45±0.31, 20.31, 6.60 for CzFPHT; 1.45±0.13, 10.91, 1.51 for HzAG; 6.58±0.24, 27.00, 6.70 for HzFP; 1.24±0.05, 23.90, 1.27 for HzFPOG; and 5.07±0.16, 30.51, 5.15 for HzFPHT. The KIC was significantly affected by the post-sintering process, type of zirconia (p<0.05). The Cz indicated a significantly higher KIC than Hz. The FP significantly enhanced KIC, while OG was unable to raise KIC. HT reduced KIC due to reverse phase transformation.
Conclusions Post-sintering processes caused alteration in fracture resistance of zirconia. Fracture toughness was enhanced with FP, but not with either OG or HT process for both Cz and Hz. Surface treatment of zirconia through a finished-polished process is recommended, while glazing and heat-treated are not suggested. Key words:Fracture toughness, glazing, heat treatment, polishing, post-sintering process, zirconia.

Abstract
Purpose 1. to assess the ability of four brands of translucent monolithic zirconia with different thicknesses to mask discolored substrates; 2. to assess the influence of glazing upon their color coordinates and masking properties.Methods Sixty samples of shade A1 (0.8, 1.5, and 2.0 mm thickness) from: ZirCAD/MT, Katana/HT, Vita YZ/HT, Cercon/HT were fabricated and glazed using a standardized laboratory procedure. CIE L*a*b* parameters were recorded on composite substrates, (IPS Natural Die Material Kit) (ND1=reference; ND2, ND3, ND4, ND5=test backgrounds), before and after glazing. The color changes of zirconia samples induced by glazing were analyzed. Masking properties was calculated as the color difference between CIE L*a*b* parameters of the samples placed on reference and test substrates with CIEDE2000(1:1:1) formula. The effect of material, thickness, substrate, and glazing on the color of monolithic zirconia was analyzed with ANOVA test and the multiple comparisons were analyzed with Tukey HSD tests (α=0.05).Results After glazing, lightness L* significantly increased, while chromatic coordinates a* and b* decreased (p<0.05). Significant differences in the masking properties of the four materials (p<0.001) were found, with IPS e.max ZirCAD/MT having the lowest masking effect (p<0.001). Thickness, substrate and glazing had a significant effect on the color masking properties of monolithic zirconia (p<0.001).Conclusions Masking properties of translucent zirconia were significantly influenced by the materials, the thickness and the color of the substrate; moreover, glazing improved the masking ability for all zirconia samples.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the surface roughness, phase transformation, and surface topography of dental zirconia with three different yttrium oxide compositions under same grinding and polishing conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three zirconia disks (IPS e.max ZirCAD LT, MT, MT multi, Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were selected for experimental materials. Sixty-nine bar-shaped specimens were fabricated as 12.0 × 6.0 × 4.0 mm using a milling machine and glazing was conducted on 12.0 × 6.0 mm surface by same operator. With a custom polishing device, 12.0 × 6.0 mm surfaces were polished under same condition. Surface roughness (Ra[µm]) was measured before grinding (C), after grinding (G), and at every 3 steps of polishing (P1, P2, P3). X-ray diffraction and FE-SEM observation was conducted before grinding, after grinding, and after fine polishing (P3). Statistical analysis of surface roughness was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney-U test was used as a post hoc test (α = .05). RESULTS There were no significant differences of surface roughness between LT, MT, and MM groups. In LT, MT, and MM groups, P3 groups showed significantly lower surface roughness than C groups. X-ray diffraction showed grinding and polishing didn't lead to phase transformation on zirconia surface. In FE-SEM images, growths in grain size of zirconia were observed as yttrium oxide composition increases. CONCLUSION Polished zirconia surface showed clinically acceptable surface roughness, but difference in yttrium oxide composition had no significant influence on the surface roughness. Therefore, in clinical situation, zirconia polishing burs could be used regardless of yttrium oxide composition.

Abstract
Subcrestal placement of implants may have interproximal bone proximity issues that interfere with submucosal contour of the implant-supported Zirconia restorations during delivery of these restorations. Modification of the mesial distal submucosal areas may be necessary to fully seat the restoration without impingement of the interproximal bone. Our aim was to determine if modification of submucosal cervical contour of implant supported zirconia titanium base (Zi-Ti base) restorations result in a significant change in fracture strength compared to Zi-Ti base restorations without any modification near the cervical submucosal area. Implant Zi-Ti base restorations, designed in the form of a maxillary premolar was made for the Straumann implant lab analog. Zirconia samples were cemented onto the Ti-base and the test group (N=20) underwent recontouring and polishing at the junction of the Zi-Ti-base cervical areas. The control group (N=20) did not undergo any modifications. All 40 samples underwent fracture testing with an Instron machine. We assessed differences between modified and unmodified implant restorations using a two-tailed t-test for independent samples. Fracture strength values (N) ranged from 4,354.68 to 6,412.49 in the test group (N=20) and from 5,400.31 to 6,953.22 in the control group (N=20). The average fracture strength in the control group (6,154.84 ± 320.50) was higher than in the modified group (5,593.13 ± 486.51; p<.001)). Modification of submucosal contour significantly decreased the fracture strength. However, the average fracture strength exceeded the masticatory forces of humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to quantitate the wear of the highly transparent Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) ceramic monolithic zirconia crown on the enamel in vivo and discuss the prone position of the wear and the underlying mechanism. METHODS A total of 43 patients with 43 posterior teeth were selected for full zirconia crown restoration and examined immediately, at 6 months, and at 1 year after restoration. During the follow-up visit, the fine impression of the patients' monolithic zirconia crowns, the antagonist teeth, the corresponding contralateral natural teeth, the super plaster cast, and epoxy resin model was ontained. The model of epoxy resin was observed under a stereo microscope, and the microstructure parts were observed under a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS After 1 year, the mean depth and volume of wearing of the monolithic zirconia crown were the smallest (all P < 0.01), while those of the antagonist teeth were significantly larger than those of the natural teeth (P < 0.0001), and no significant difference was found among the natural teeth (P = 0.3473, P = 0.6996). The amount of wear after one year was remarkably higher than that at 6 months (P < 0.0001). The microscopic observation revealed the tendency of wearing of the monolithic zirconia crown on the antagonist teeth at the protruding early contact points. Electron micrographs of tooth scars showed that the wearing mechanism of the monolithic zirconia crown on natural teeth was mainly abrasive and fatigue wear. CONCLUSIONS Although the self-wearing is insignificant, the monolithic zirconia crown can cause wear of the antagonist teeth via occlusal or early contact significantly; the amount of wearing is higher than that of natural teeth and increases over time. The wearing mechanism is mainly abrasive and fatigue wear.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose this study was to investigate the effect of Kern´s air-borne particle abrasion protocol (KAPA) and polishing on two translucent zirconias (4Y, 5Y-zirconias) compared to a traditional zirconia (3Y-zirconia). METHODS Two different surface treatments were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and interferometry 1) KAPA (0.1 MPa, 50 μm alumina, 10-12 mm distance, 15 sec and 30 sec and cleaning in ultrasound using isopropyl alcohol 99%) and 2) Clinical-delivery polishing paste (Zircon Brite, Dental Ventures, USA). Shear-bond strength tests (SBS's) were performed with a highly polished and virtually flat surface in combination with a 10-MDP based cement and a surface modified by KAPA in combination with zinc phosphate cement. The SBS was expressed in terms of MPa. RESULTS The mean values for monoclinic content were 13 wt%, 7 wt% and 2 wt% for 3Y-, 4Y- and 5Y-zirconias respectively, no differences were found between 15 and 30 seconds. Polishing did not result in phase transformation to monoclinic phase in any of the zirconias. The rhombohedral phase was identified in all types of zirconias regardless of surface treatment. Shear-bond strength tests showed 5 MPa for polished/10-MDP based cement and 3 MPa for KAPA/ Zinc phosphate. Statistically significant differences were found between the two different surface treatments but not between the types of zirconias. CONCLUSIONS KAPA for 15 sec seems to be equal to 30 sec regarding morphology and phase transformation. Sole micro-retention appears not to be fully responsible for the bonding phenomena of 10-MDP and zirconia that underwent KAPA.

Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of two commercially available polishing systems in reducing surface roughness of a monolithic zirconia after clinical adjustment and to compare them to glazed zirconia. Setting and Design: In vitro study. Material and Methods: This in vitro study was conducted on 25 discs (10mm in diameter and 2mm in thickness) using monolithic zirconia (Ceramill Zolid). From 25 specimens, 5 specimens were randomly selected as the positive control. The remaining discs were abraded for 15 secs with a red band diamond finishing bur using an air rotor handpiece. Then the specimens were randomly divided into 5 equal groups of 5 specimens each. Group 1: Roughened, unpolished and unglazed. Group 2 (Positive Control): Glazed without prior roughening,Group 3: Roughened and polished with eZr polishing kit, Group 4: Roughened and polished with Optra fine ceramic polishing kit and Group 5: Roughened and glazed. The surface roughness (Ra) values (μm) were measured quantitatively by a surface analyzer. The mean values were compared using one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Test. One specimen of each group was evaluated qualitatively under a scanning electron microscope(SEM) for surface topography. Statistical Analysis Used: One-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Test. Results: The lowest Ra value was found in Group 4-Roughened and polished with Optrafine ceramic polishing kit (Ra=0.47μm) as compared to Group 3-Roughened and polished with eZr polishing kit (Ra=0.49μm) and Group 5-Roughened and glazed (Ra=0.59μm). There was no stastistically significant difference between two polishing systems. SEM analysis of surfaces polished with Optrafine polishing kit revealed smoother and regular morphology as compared to surfaces polished with eZr polishing kit. Conclusion: The Optrafine polishing kit created more smoother and uniform surfaces as compared to surfaces polished with eZr polishing kit both quantitatively and qualitatively. Also, lowest surface roughness values were produced by optrafine ceramic polishing kit on monolithic zirconia as compared to glazed monolithic zirconia after their clinical adjustments.Thus Optrafine ceramic polishing kit can be used as alternative to glazing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of different surface finishing and polishing regimes and low temperature degradation on flexural strength, phase transformation and surface topography of ultra-translucent ZrO2 ceramic. METHODS 300 (n=15/group) of conventional zirconia (Z: Ice Zirkon Transluzent) and ultra-translucent zirconia (UT: Prettau Anterior) bar-specimens were made and divided according to the "Finishing/Polishing" - (C - Control, B - diamond rubber polishers, P - adjusting with burs, PB - adjusting with burs+diamond polishers, PG - adjusting with burs+glaze), "Low temperature Degradation (LTD)" (with or without a treatment at 127°C, 1.7bar/24h). Then, a 3-point mini flexural test was performed in a universal testing machine (1mm/min, 500kgf load cell). SEM, EDS, XDR, AFM, optical profilometry and Weibull analysis were performed. Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-test (5%). RESULTS Groups ZPBD (1670±253MPa), ZBD (1664±217MPa), and ZB (1655±3678MPa) showed significantly higher flexural strength than the UTPG group (372±56MPa). The Weibull modulus was significantly higher for the ZPD group compared to the UB, UCD, UPD and UPBD, while UTB, UTCD and UTPD had the lowest value. Monoclinic phases were observed only in the conventional zirconia groups and were more evident after LTD. Diamond rubber polishers presented less roughness for both zirconias. SIGNIFICANCE The use of diamond rubber polishers is the most suitable finishing/polishing method for zirconia ceramic restorations and that final glazing reduces the fracture resistance of these materials.

Trueness of the Inner Surface of Monolithic Crowns Fabricated by Milling of a Fully Sintered (Y, Nb)-TZP Block in Chairside CAD-CAM System for Single-visit Dentistry. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12193253. [PMID: 31590370 PMCID: PMC6803933 DOI: 10.3390/ma12193253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Revised: 09/30/2019] [Accepted: 10/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
A single-visit zirconia restoration can be easily achieved if direct milling of a fully sintered zirconia block can be performed without much effort. However, no studies have yet been reported regarding the evaluation of the trueness of crown fabricated from chairside-milling of a fully sintered zirconia block in the chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD–CAM) system for single-visit dentistry. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the trueness of crowns fabricated by milling a fully sintered zirconia block in the chairside CAD–CAM system and investigate the clinical implications for single-visit chairside restoration. Crowns were fabricated either by chairside-milling a fully sintered block of niobium oxide containing yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals ((Y, Nb)-TZP) without the sintering process (n = 12) in a chairside single-visit dentistry system (Chairside group) or by laboratory-milling a partially sintered 3 mol% block of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) followed by the sintering process (n = 12) in a conventional laboratory system (Labside group). Crown fabrication time, milling tool diameter and the trueness of each crown were evaluated. All trueness values of both groups were within the clinically acceptable range, although a significant difference between the Chairside (43.0 ± 3.67 μm) and Labside groups (37.4 ± 2.41 μm) was observed (P < 0.05). Mean fabrication time was 0.52 h and 1.42 h for Chairside and Labside groups, respectively. A decrease in the tool diameter was observed for the Chairside group.

Abstract
Although all-ceramic crowns have excellent biocompatibility and esthetic appearance, chipping may occur. The mechanical properties of monolithic zirconia restorative material are superior to those of all-ceramic restorative materials, and chipping caused by chewing hard foods could be avoided. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of monolithic zirconia crowns for posterior teeth restorations.A total of 46 patients requiring posterior teeth restorations involving 49 teeth were treated with monolithic zirconia crown procedure. The treatment results were evaluated according to the modified California Dental Association criteria immediately after the procedure, and at 2, 24, 48, and 96 weeks after the procedure. The plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, crown marginal integrity, and attrition of the abutment teeth, antagonist teeth, corresponding contralateral teeth, and antagonist of the corresponding contralateral teeth were assessed. The patients were followed for up to 96 weeks.The marginal adaptation results of all 46 patients were evaluated as excellent, resulting in an excellent rate of 100%. Regarding the crown color match, only 3 cases (6.1%) were evaluated as acceptable. Marginal adaptation, anatomic form, crown margin integrity, color match, and gross fracture did not show significant differences compared with the different time points (P = .999). Surface texture at different time did not change significantly (P = .807). During the 96-week follow-up, 1 crack in the antagonist teeth was found in 1 patient. There were no significant differences in wear of the antagonist teeth at different time points (P = .972). The rate of "excellent" evaluation for crown restorations was 93.9% to 100%.The monolithic zirconia crown had no detectable adverse effects on the periodontal tissues, and the antagonist teeth attrition was small. Therefore, it has good potential in the clinical application of posterior teeth restorations in the short term.

[PMID: 31080568 PMCID: PMC6491358 DOI: 10.4047/jap.2019.11.2.81] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Revised: 10/31/2018] [Accepted: 11/18/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of various protocols and systems for finishing and polishing monolithic zirconia on surface topography, phase transformation, and bacterial adhesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred monolithic zirconia specimens were fabricated and then treated with three finishing and polishing systems (Jota [JO], Meisinger [ME], and Edenta [ED]) using four surface treatment protocols: coarse finishing alone (C); coarse finishing and medium polishing (CM); coarse finishing and fine polishing (CF); and coarse finishing, medium polishing, and fine polishing (CMF). Surface roughness, crystal phase transformation, and bacterial adhesion were evaluated using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and streptococcal biofilm formation assay, respectively. One-way and two-way analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc tests were used to analyze the results (α=.05). RESULTS In this study, the surface treatment protocols and systems had significant effects on the resulting roughness. The CMF protocol produced the lowest roughness values, followed by CM and CF. Use of the JO system produced the lowest roughness values and the smallest biofilm mass, while the ME system produced the smallest partial transformation ratio. The ED group exhibited the highest roughness values, biofilm mass, and partial transformation ratio. CONCLUSION Stepwise surface treatment of monolithic zirconia, combined with careful polishing system selection, is essential to obtaining optimal microstructural and biological surface results.

Zirconia Use in Dentistry - Manufacturing and Properties. CURRENT HEALTH SCIENCES JOURNAL 2019; 45:28-35.

Abstract
Several types of metal-free ceramics have been developed to meet the patients demand for natural looking appearance restorations. Owing to their biocompatibility and good mechanical properties zirconia has been successfully used in recent years as a dental biomaterial. Due to its high opacity zirconia cores are generally covered with ceramic veneers that provide a more natural appearance but have frequent incidence of chipping. As an alternative to veneered zirconia full-contour zirconia restorations become more widely used nowadays. The paper reviews the current knowledge and scientific data of the zirconia use in dentistry in order to compare the zirconia based dental restorations with the metal-ceramic ones and also the two types of dental restoration based on zirconia, veneered or monolithic zirconia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare three polishing systems on the surface roughness and phase transformation of monolithic zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 disk shaped specimens (10 mm diameter, 3 mm thickness) were fabricated from monolithic zirconia blocks. 20 specimens were left as a control group and remaining specimens were grinded by diamond bur to simulate the occlusal adjustments. Grinded specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups: group G (no polishing), group M (Meisinger, zirconia polishing kit), group E (EVE Diacera, zirconia polishing kit), and group P (EVE Diapol, porcelain polishing kit). Surface roughness was measured with profilometer and surface topography was observed with SEM. XRD analysis was performed to investigate the phase transformation. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests at a significance level of P=.05. RESULTS All polishing groups showed a smoother surface than group G. Among 3 polishing systems, group M and group E exhibited a smoother surface than the group P. However, no significant differences were observed between group M and group E (P>.05). Grinding and polishing did not cause phase transformations in zirconia specimens. CONCLUSION Zirconia polishing systems created a smoother surface on zirconia than the porcelain polishing system. Phase transformation did not occur during the polishing procedure.
