[PMID: 38138835 PMCID: PMC10744630 DOI: 10.3390/ma16247691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the low-temperature degradation (LTD) kinetics of tetragonal zirconia with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP) dental ceramic using two degradation methods: hydrothermal degradation and immersed degradation. To study transformation kinetics, we prepared 3Y-TZP powders. We pressed these powders uniaxially into a stainless mold at 100 MPa. We then sintered the compacted bodies at intervals of 50 °C between 1300 °C and 1550 °C and immersed the specimens at various temperatures from 60 °C to 80 °C in 4% acetic acid or from 110 °C to 140 °C for the hydrothermal method. We used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to confirm crystalline grain size and used X-ray diffraction to analyze the zirconia phase. As the sintering temperature increased, the calculated crystalline grain size also increased. We confirmed this change with the SEM image. The higher sintering temperatures were associated with more phase transformation. According to the Mehl-Avrami-Johnson equation, the activation energies achieved using the hydrothermal method were 101 kJ/mol, 95 kJ/mol, and 86 kJ/mol at sintering temperatures of 1450 °C, 1500 °C, and 1550 °C, respectively. In addition, the activation energies of the specimens immersed in 4% acetic acid were 60 kJ/mol, 55 kJ/mol, 48 kJ/mol, and 35 kJ/mol, with sintered temperatures of 1400 °C, 1450 °C, 1500 °C, and 1550 °C, respectively. The results showed that a lower sintering temperature would restrain the phase transformation of zirconia because of the smaller crystalline grain size. As a result, the rate of LTD decreased.

Effect of Erosive Agents on Surface Characteristics of Nano-Fluorapatite Ceramic: An In-Vitro Study. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27154691. [PMID: 35897867 PMCID: PMC9330823 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27154691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Erosive beverages cause dissolution of natural teeth and intra-oral restorations, resulting in surface characteristic changes, particularly roughness and degradation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness and topography of a dental ceramic following immersion in locally available erosive solutions. A total of 160 disc specimens of a nano-fluorapatite type ceramic (12 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness) were fabricated and equally distributed into two groups (n = 80) and then evenly distributed among the following five testing groups (n = 16): lemon juice, citrate buffer solution, 4% acetic acid, soft cola drink, and distilled water which served as a control. The surface roughness (Ra) and topography were evaluated using a profilometer and scanning electron microscope at baseline, 24 h, 96 h, and 168 h respectively. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons (p ≤ 0.05). Surface changes were observed upon exposure to all acidic beverages except distilled water. Amongst all immersion media, 4% acetic acid produced the most severe surface roughness across all time periods (i.e., baseline, 24 h, 96 h, and 168 h). A statistically significant difference in the surface roughness values between all immersion media and across all four time intervals was observed. Erosive agents had a negative effect on the surface roughness and topography of the tested ceramic. The surface roughness increased with increased storage time intervals.

[PMID: 35705433 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Previous studies have shown the susceptibility of dental ceramics to degradation when subjected to certain media. However, knowledge on the effect of repeated firings and thermocycling on the ion elution of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) ceramics is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of repeated firings on the ion elution of CAD-CAM materials before and after thermocycling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bar-shaped specimens were prepared from 4 different CAD-CAM materials (monolithic zirconia [Z], zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic [S], lithium disilicate glass-ceramic [EX], and leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic [E]) and divided into 3 groups according to the number of repeated glaze firings (1 firing [1F], 2 firings [2F], and 4 firings [4F]). Specimens were placed into deionized water (pH 7.4) and stored at 37 °C for 168 hours. Inductively coupled plasma-optic emission spectrophotometry (ICP-OES) was used to measure the baseline values of the eluted ions in immersion. The specimens were then subjected to thermocycling. Then, surface roughness (Ra) and ion elution values were measured. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the ion elution data before and after thermocycling, and the effect of thermocycling on ion elution was assessed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Ra data were analyzed with 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey honestly significant difference tests (α=.05). RESULTS Elution of some ions varied depending on the material-firing pair before (Al, As, B, Ba, Cr, Cu, Li, Mg, Na, P, and Zn) and after (Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, Mg, Na, P, Y, and Zn) thermocycling. Before thermocycling, all firing groups within each material showed a similar number of significantly higher eluted ions. After thermocycling, the number of significantly higher eluted ions decreased in all materials, except for EX. The effect of thermocycling on the ion elution of the 1F group of Z (Al, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, P, Y, and Zn), S (As, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, K, P, and Y), EX (B, Cu, and P), and E (B and Ba); 2F group of Z (Al, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, P, and Y), S (Be, Cd, Co, K, Li, and Y), EX (P), and E (P); 4F group of Z (Al, As, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, K, Li, P, and Y), S (Al, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Li, Mg, and Y), EX (Be, Ca, Cd, Co, K, Y, and Zn), and E (Ca and P) was nonsignificant (P≥.051). The interaction between material and repeated firings (P<.001) had a significant effect on Ra. For 1F groups, E showed the highest Ra (P≤.003), while Z had higher Ra than S (P=.009). For 2F groups, Z had higher Ra than S (P=.01). The differences among 4F groups were nonsignificant (P≥.677). An increased number of repeated firings (2F and 4F) decreased the Ra of E (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The effect of repeated firings and thermocycling on the chemical stability of the tested CAD-CAM materials varied. No clear trend was observed on the elution of different ions within material-firing pairs before thermocycling. However, thermocycling increased the number of significantly higher eluted ions for EX. The effect of thermocycling on the ion elution of materials varied depending on ions. Repeated firings decreased the surface roughness of E.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dental ceramics have been reported to elute ions when subjected to nonneutral pH. However, the effect of surface treatments and thermomechanical aging on the ion elution of CAD-CAM ceramics is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of surface treatment (glazed or polished) and thermomechanical aging on the ion elution of CAD-CAM materials before and after 2-body wear simulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Specimens were prepared from 6 CAD-CAM materials-leucite (LC), feldspathic (FP), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS), lithium disilicate (LDS) glass-ceramics, polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN), and zirconia (ZIR)-and divided into 2 groups according to the surface treatments (glazed or polished) (n=6). For baseline ion elution values, specimens were placed into polyethylene bottles containing deionized water (pH 7.4) that had been stored in an incubator for 168 hours at 37 °C. The eluted ions in the immersion solution were measured by using inductively coupled plasma-optic emission spectrophotometry. The specimens were then subjected to thermomechanical aging by using human enamel as an antagonist. After aging, the ion elution of the specimens was remeasured. Ion elution data before and after 2-body wear were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney U test, while the effect of 2-body wear was assessed by using the Wilcoxon signed rank test (α=.05). RESULTS The presence of some ions varied depending on the material-surface treatment pair before (Al, As, B, Ba, Ca, K, Li, Mg, Na, P, and Zn) and after (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Co, Li, Mg, and P) 2-body wear. Polished materials had higher ion elution than the glazed materials before 2-body wear (P≤.041), except for LC (P and Zn) and PICN (Ca, Cu, and K) (P≤.009). After 2-body wear, polished LC (B and Ba), FP (Al, B, and Mg), ZLS (Al, Ba, Ca, and Li), ZIR (B and Ba), glazed PICN (Ca, Mg, and P), ZLS (P), and ZIR (Co) presented higher ion elution than their counterparts (P≤.041). The effect of 2-body wear on the ion elution of polished LC (Al, K), FP (Na), ZLS (Li), LDS (K, Na), PICN (Al, Na), ZIR (Na, Y), glazed LC (Na), FP (Ba, Na), ZLS (B, Ba, Y), LDS (Na), PICN (Y), and ZIR (Na) was nonsignificant (P≥.075). However, the elution of remaining ions showed a significant difference before and after 2-body wear (P≤.046). CONCLUSIONS The chemical stability of tested CAD-CAM materials was affected by the 2-body wear. Glazing led to a lower ion elution except for LDS and PICN. While polishing resulted in lower ion elution for PICN, both surface treatments resulted in similar ion elution for LDS.

Influence of Low-pH Beverages on the Two-Body Wear of CAD/CAM Monolithic Materials. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13172915. [PMID: 34502955 PMCID: PMC8433770 DOI: 10.3390/polym13172915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the effect of different acidic media on volumetric wear and surface roughness of CAD/CAM monolithic materials. Forty-eight rectangular specimens were prepared using different CAD/CAM monolithic materials: nanohybrid composite (Grandio Blocks, Voco), resin-based composite (Cerasmart, GC), lithium disilicate (E-Max, Ivoclar), and high-translucency zirconia (Katana STML, Kuraray Noritake). After storage in distilled water at 37 °C for two days, the specimens were tested using a chewing machine with a stainless-steel ball as an antagonist (49N loads, 250,000 cycles). Testing was performed using distilled water, Coca-Cola, and Red Bull as abrasive media. Wear and surface roughness analyses of the CAD/CAM materials were performed using a 3D profilometer and analyzed with two-way analysis of variance and post hoc pairwise comparison procedures. Worn surfaces were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Resin-based materials suffered higher volumetric wear than ceramics (p = 0.00001). Water induced significantly less volumetric wear than the other tested solutions (p = 0.0014), independent of the material tested. High-translucency zirconia showed less surface roughness than all the other materials tested. The selection of monolithic CAD/CAM materials to restore worn dentition due to erosive processes could impact restorative therapy stability over time. Resin-based materials seem to be more influenced by the acidic environment when subjected to a two-body wear test.

Abstract
Objectives This study assessed the effect of immersion in acidic solutions and sodium fluoride on surface roughness of dental ceramics. Materials and Methods 40 blocks of Vitablocs Mark II and IPS e.max CAD (5 × 5 × 3) were prepared. The samples were divided into five groups (n = 8) for immersion in artificial saliva (control), artificially prepared gastric acid, acetic acid, 0.02% sodium fluoride + gastric acid, and 0.02% sodium fluoride + acetic acid. The samples were immersed for 168 hours in the respective solutions except for sodium fluoride, in which the samples were immersed for 69 hours. The surface roughness of samples was measured before and after immersion using a profilometer. The surface roughness changes of three specimens of each group were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed using one-way and two-way ANOVA, Tukey's test, and independent t-test. Results Significant changes were noted in Ra (P=0.002) and Rq (P < 0.0001) in both types of ceramics. The lowest changes in Ra and Rq parameters were seen in artificial saliva and gastric acid and highest changes occurred following immersion in 0.02% sodium fluoride + acetic acid and 0.02% sodium fluoride + gastric acid, respectively. Changes in Rz were also significant following immersion in Vitablocs Mark II (P < 0.05). Immersion in 0.02% sodium fluoride + gastric acid and 0.02% sodium fluoride + acetic acid produced a rougher surface on both types of ceramics (SEM). Conclusion Exposure of Vitablocs Mark II CAD and IPS e.max CAD to 0.02% sodium fluoride + gastric acid and 0.02% sodium fluoride + acetic acid significantly increased their surface roughness, while for Vitablocs Mark II, lager defects were seen on its surface.

Abstract
Objectives The development and placement of translucent zirconia ceramics on the dental materials market is in full swing. This research aimed to investigate how aging protocols affect the microstructure, color parameters and translucency of a new-generation monolithic zirconia ceramic. Material and methods Translucent zirconia ceramics KATANA-Zirconia STML with different surface treatments (as sintered - control, glazed, polished) was tested using two aging protocols (hydrothermal degradation in autoclave at 134 °C and 2 bars for three hours, chemical degradation in four-percent acetic acid at 80 °C for 16 hours) in order to examine phase composition using X-ray diffraction analysis and ΔE, ΔL and ΔC color parameters through spectrophotometry. The translucency parameter (TP) was calculated using parameters L*, a* and b* on a black and white surface. Results Regardless of the surface treatment, aging protocols did not cause a tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation, although hydrothermal degradation in the autoclave transformed the hybrid tetragonal-cubic structure of all specimens to a tetragonal one. All polished and glazed specimens during chemical degradation demonstrated a significant color change ΔE. Lightness ΔL significantly changed in polished specimens aged in the autoclave. In all specimens, ΔC underwent a change manifested through statistically insignificant yellowing. None of the aging protocols altered the translucency of specimens. Conclusions Aging, regardless of the final surface treatment, did not manifest a monoclinic phase in the specimens. A tetragonal-cubic microstructure dominates. Unlike polishing, glazing the surface of translucent zirconia ceramics contributed to minor changes in color, lightness and chromaticity. The translucency of translucent zirconia ceramics remains stable regardless of aging and surface treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of artificial aging on color stability, translucency, and surface roughness of stained all-ceramic restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disc-shaped specimens were fabricated from six different all-ceramic materials: two glass ceramics (Vita Mark II and Empress CAD), two lithium disilicate based ceramics (e.max and Suprinity), and two zirconia-based materials (ZirCAD LT and ZirCAD MT Multi). The discs were stained using two universal stains; IPS Ivocolor stain or Vita Akzent stain. Color change (ΔE) and the translucency parameter (TP) were measured before and after artificial aging. The surface roughness (Ra) was evaluated using atomic force microscopy, while the surface microstructure was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Quantitative elemental analysis was performed using the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). Leached ions were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) (n = 12, α = 0.05). RESULTS Artificial aging had significantly changed the color (ΔE) and decreased the translucency (TP) of all stained ceramics. The mean surface roughness (Ra) was significantly increased in all specimens, which was also confirmed in the SEM scans. EDX analysis revealed a decrease in the elemental composition of the stained surface as a result of ceramic degradation, except for Ca and Zn in IPS Ivocolor stain. Furthermore, the ICP analysis revealed that most compositional elements of stain and glaze were detected in the aging solution. CONCLUSIONS Chemical aging had significantly affected the optical parameters and surface texture of stained monolithic ceramics. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Stained ceramics are liable to color degradation. Each type of stain should be used with its corresponding type of ceramic. Stained all-ceramic restorations are liable to color change and surface degradation during function.

Abstract
Objectives To examine the effect of two aging protocols on the chemical and phase composition as well as the surface state of monolithic translucent zirconia ceramics. Material and Methods Translucent zirconia ceramics KATANA-Zirconia STML with different surface treatments (no treatment, K1, K2; glazed, G1-G8; polished, P1-P8) underwent testing in order to examine how the two aging protocols (three-hour hydrothermal degradation in an autoclave at 134 °C and 2 bars: G1-G4, P1-P4, and sixteen-hour chemical degradation in four-percent acetic acid at 80 °C (ISO 6872): G5-G8, P5-P8) affect chemical composition, particularly the share of stabilizing yttrium oxide (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence – EDXRF), phase composition (X-ray diffraction – XRD) and surface state in terms of roughness and gloss. Results Aging protocols did not affect the tested chemical composition stability of specimens and a high share of stabilizing yttrium-oxide (≥10% of total content), which correlates with the absence of monoclinic phase. A decrease in gloss on all specimens is statistically significant. Chemical degradation substantially increased the surface roughness of tested specimens. Conclusions Translucent monolithic zirconia demonstrated a stable chemical composition and resistance to tetragonal-to-monoclinic transformation. Surface gloss was significantly reduced, especially in polished specimens. Contrary to glazed specimens, the tested polished specimens manifested an increase in surface roughness. Glazing the surface of translucent monolithic zirconia produces better esthetic, tribological and hygienic effects than polishing.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the flexural strength, elastic modulus, microhardness, and surface roughness of monolithic zirconia, lithium disilicate ceramics, and feldspathic ceramics after being exposed to different acidic solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rectangular specimens (n = 180) were prepared from three different ceramic materials: lithium disilicate, monolithic zirconia, and feldspathic porcelain. Initial Surface roughness of ninety specimens (n = 30/material) was evaluated using an optical noncontact profilometer. Thirty specimens of each material were immersed in one of the following solutions (n = 10/group): citric acid; acidic beverage; and artificial saliva, which served as the control. Post immersion surface roughness, flexural strength, and elastic modulus were determined using an optical noncontact profilometer and three-point bending test. Another thirty specimens of each material were immersed in the aqueous solutions (n = 10/group) following the same protocol and subjected to microhardness test using a Vickers diamond microhardness tester. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine the surface characteristics changes. ANOVA and Post-hoc Tukey's Kramer tests were used for data analysis (α = 0.05). RESULTS Immersion in different solutions did not affect the flexural strength and elastic modulus of lithium disilicate or zirconia. Microhardness and surface roughness were significantly affected in all groups (p < 0.05). For feldspathic porcelain groups, the flexural strength and elastic modulus were significantly decreased in the citric acid group (p = 0.045 and p = 0.019). Also, there were significant differences among all feldspathic porcelain groups (p = 0.001) in terms of microhardness and surface roughness values. CONCLUSIONS The tested acidic agents significantly affected the flexural strength, elastic modulus, surface roughness, and microhardness of feldspathic porcelain. However, the flexural strength and elastic modulus of evaluated lithium disilicate and zirconia did not change significantly.

Karaokutan I, Aykent F. Effect of a Home Bleaching Agent on the Ion Elution of Different Esthetic Materials. J Prosthodont 2020; 29:805-813. [PMID: 32557924 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of a 16% carbamide peroxide home bleaching agent on the ion elution of different esthetic restorative materials and to determine if the released ions exceed the minimal risk levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ceramic materials comprising a low-fusing porcelain (Vita VM7), lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (IPS e.max Press and IPS e.max CAD), zirconium substructure materials (IPS e.max ZirCAD and Vita In-Ceram YZ for InLab), and ceromers (Estenia and Tescera ATL) were chosen. Thirty disk-shaped specimens (2 mm thickness and 10 mm diameter) were fabricated from each material and then were divided into 3 experimental groups to receive one of the following solutions: acetic acid (positive control), a bleaching agent and distilled water (negative control) (n = 10/group). For the bleaching agent, the specimens were subjected to a 16% carbamide peroxide solution (VOCO Perfect Bleach) for 2 hours per day for 14 days. A 4% acetic acid solution was applied at 80°C for 16 hours according to the ISO 6872:2015 protocol and specimens of negative control group were immersed in distilled water for 16 hours. Ion elution measurements were conducted with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) after immersion in the solutions, and the weight loss of the materials was measured with a precision scale. Changes in the surface topography were investigated by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The results were evaluated using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). RESULTS Among the specimens tested, the most ion elution was observed in the Tescera ATL group, and the least ion elution was observed in the e.max ZirCAD group in all solutions. Ion elution was found to be greater in the bleaching agent than in the acetic acid and distilled water groups. Sodium was the most released ion, and zinc and lithium were the least released among the elements tested. CONCLUSIONS It should be noted that the bleaching-related ion release may exceed toxic doses even if restorative materials meet ISO 6872 standards, and the materials should be protected before home bleaching to prevent ion elution.

Abstract
To improve the chemical durability of SiC-based coatings on glass-ceramics, the effects of annealing and N2 plasma treatment were investigated. Fluorapatite glass-ceramic disks were coated with SiC via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), treated with N2 plasma followed by an annealing step, characterized, and then immersed in a pH 10 buffer solution for 30 days to study coating delamination. Post-deposition annealing was found to densify the deposited SiC and lessen SiC delamination during the pH 10 immersion. When the SiC was treated with a N2 plasma for 10 min, the bulk properties of the SiC coating were not affected but surface pores were sealed, slightly improving the SiC’s chemical durability. By combining N2 plasma-treatment with a post-deposition annealing step, film delamination was reduced from 94% to 2.9% after immersion in a pH 10 solution for 30 days. X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) detected a higher concentration of oxygen on the surface of the plasma treated films, indicating a thin SiO2 layer was formed and could have assisted in pore sealing. In conclusion, post-deposition annealing and N2 plasma treatment where shown to significantly improve the chemical durability of PECVD deposited SiC films used as a coating for glass-ceramics.

MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13061374. [PMID: 32197510 PMCID: PMC7142750 DOI: 10.3390/ma13061374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Dental implant biomaterials are expected to be in contact with living tissues, therefore their toxicity and osseointegration ability must be carefully assessed. In the current study, the wettability, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity of different alumina-zirconia-titania composites were evaluated. The surface wettability determines the biological event cascade in the bioceramic/human living tissues interface. The measured water contact angle indicated that the wettability strongly depends on the ceramic composition. Notwithstanding the contact angle variability, the ceramic surfaces are hydrophilic. The cytotoxicity of human gingival fibroblast cells with materials, evaluated by an (3-(4,5 methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, revealed an absence of any cytotoxic effect. A relationship was found between the cell viability and the wettability. It was subsequently deduced that the cell viability increases when the wettability increases. This effect is more pronounced when the titania content is higher. Finally, a comet test was applied as complementary biocompatibility test to detect any changes in fibroblast cell DNA. The results showed that the DNA damage is intimately related to the TiO2 content. Genotoxicity was mainly attributed to ceramic composites containing 10 wt.% TiO2. Our research revealed that the newly developed high performance alumina-zirconia-titania ceramic composites contain less than 10 wt.% TiO2, and display promising surface properties, making them suitable for dental implantology applications.

Abstract
The effect of a novel silicon carbide (SiC) coating on the chemical durability of a fluorapatite glass-ceramic veneer was investigated by examining weight loss and ion release levels. The hypothesis that this novel coating will exhibit significant corrosion resistance was tested. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP) was used for ion concentration determination and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface morphology analyses. Samples were immersed in pH 10 and pH 2 buffer solutions to represent extreme conditions in the oral cavity. Analyses were done at 15 and 30 days. The SiC coated group demonstrated significant reduction in weight loss across all solutions and time points (p < 0.0001). Ion release analyses demonstrated either a marginally lower or a significantly lower release of ions for the SiC-coated disks. SEM analysis reveals planarization of surfaces by the SiC-coated group. The surfaces of coated samples were not as corroded as the non-coated samples, which is indicative of the protective nature of these coatings. In conclusion, SiC is a novel coating that holds promise for improving the performance of ceramic materials used for dental applications.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Exposure to gastric acid in patients with bulimia nervosa and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causes demineralization of hard tooth structures. This chemical attack also causes the degradation of dental ceramics, which results in increased surface roughness and reduced strength. However, studies comparing the effect of acidic pH on resin matrix ceramic with other computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) esthetic materials are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the surface roughness changes of different CAD-CAM restorative dental materials after exposure to acidic pH by using a 3D optical interferometer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five esthetic CAD-CAM block materials, a leucite glass-ceramic (IPS Empress CAD), a zirconia (BruxZir Solid Zirconia), a resin matrix ceramic (VITA Enamic), a lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD), and a feldspathic porcelain (VITABLOCS Mark II CAD) were tested. Eighteen specimens were sectioned from CAD-CAM blocks into 2-mm-thick rectangular plates and immersed in 10 mL of 5% hydrochloric acid (HCl) with (pH=2) at 37 °C for 45 and 91 hours. The surface roughness average (Ra) of the specimens was measured by using a 3D optical interferometer before the storage period (baseline), after 45 hours, and after 91 hours of exposure to HCl. Statistical analyses were performed with the Kruskal-Wallis test and the post hoc Dunn test with Bonferroni correction (α=.05). RESULTS Regarding the comparison of surface roughness changes at different periods of evaluation (baseline, 45 hours, 91 hours), there were no statistically significant differences for lithium disilicate (P=.063) or zirconia (P=.513). Leucite glass-ceramic, feldspathic porcelain, and the resin matrix ceramic demonstrated statistically significant differences (P<.001). For all tests that were statistically significant, greater surface roughness was found at the time point with the longer HCl exposure. Regarding the comparison of materials in terms of change in surface roughness between baseline to 45 hours and baseline to 91 hours, the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated a statistically significant difference among the materials in both cases (P<.001). Lithium disilicate and zirconia exhibited the least change in surface roughness among the 5 materials. CONCLUSIONS Leucite glass-ceramic, feldspathic porcelain, and resin matrix ceramic showed statistically significant increases in surface roughness when they were exposed to simulated gastric acid for 45 and 91 hours. Lithium disilicate and zirconia showed no statistically significant change in surface roughness after exposure to HCl for 45 and 91 hours.

Abstract
Titanium is the most widely used material for dental implants. The natural formation, in presence of oxygen, of different oxide films (passivation films) is correlated to titanium implant biocompatibility, resistance to corrosion and is responsible for implant bacteriostatic action. Surface roughness is another surface property of Ti-implants that, affecting implant-to-bone contact, improves integration. In the present study data concerning composition, surface roughness and biocompatibility of Ghimas implants and mini-implants undergoing sandblasting with Calcium Magnesium Carbonate (CaMg(CO3)2) are reported. AFM, SEM/EDX, XRD analyses and morphofunctional tests (MTT and ALP) were performed. Cell actin cytoskeletal modification (fluorescence phalloidin staining) was also observed with confocal laser microscopy (CLSM). Data related to surface geometry and chemical properties, associated with evidence of high purity of all the tested materials (XRD and EDX), highlighted the elevated biocompatibility of tested implants and mini-implants. CLSM investigation confirmed osteoblast features of an active cell behavior able to fit cell to chemico-mechanical stimuli present at the bone/implant interface and suggests an effective implant/alveolar bone integration in vivo.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of different types of filler in a resin-based pit and fissure sealant on fluoride release, recharge, and lactic acid neutralization. Resin-based sealant was incorporated with 5% w/w of the following fillers: calcium aluminate cement (CAC), synthesized mesoporous silica (SI), a CAC and SI mixture (CAC+SI), glass-ionomer powder (GIC), and acetic acid-treated GIC (GICA). Sealant without filler served as control. The samples were immersed in deionized water or a lactic acid solution and the concentration of fluoride in the water, before and after fluoride recharge, and the lactic acid pH change, respectively, were determined. The CAC+SI group demonstrated the highest fluoride release after being recharged with fluoride gel. The CAC+SI group also demonstrated increased lactic acid pH. These findings suggest that a resin-based sealant containing synthesized mesoporous silica and calcium aluminate cement may enhance remineralization due to fluoride release and higher pH.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The stability of the optical characteristics of dental ceramics is essential. Degradation of these materials resulting from pH or temperature alterations in the oral cavity can lead to treatment failure. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color change (ΔE), the L* coordinate, the translucency parameter, and the contrast ratio of lithium disilicate ceramic exposed to commonly used and potentially colorant solutions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty lithium disilicate specimens were prepared and divided into 5 groups according to the immersion solution (artificial saliva, orange juice, cola, coffee, and red wine). Immersions in acidic beverages were alternated in a thermocycler with artificial saliva. The control group was immersed in artificial saliva at 37°C throughout the immersion period. After 168 hours of immersion, the color parameters were assessed with a spectrophotometer and calculated using the because system on 2 backgrounds (black and white) and in 2 time periods, before thermocycling and after thermocycling. Data were submitted to analysis of variance followed by the Tukey honest significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS Greater color change (ΔE) and lower L* coordinate values were observed after immersion in orange juice and cola. Regarding the translucency parameter and contrast ratio, the immersion in coffee resulted in greater opacity and lower translucency of the material. CONCLUSIONS Alterations in the color stainability, the L* coordinate values, the translucency parameter, and the contrast ratio of the lithium disilicate ceramic were observed, according to the acidic solutions tested.

Abstract
THE PURPOSE of the study was to analyse translucency parameter (TP values) of glass-ceramics fabricated by different techniques and investigate the effect of the corrosive medium on TP values. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three specimens of each type of IPS e.max ceramics (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) were made in three colours (A2, C2 and B3) by three fabrication techniques (layering - e.max Ceram Dentin; heat-pressing - e.max Press; CAD/CAM - e.max CAD). Specimens were made in the form of plates (10 mm x 12 mm x 0.8 mm). CIE L*a*b* values were measured by a spectrophotometer (X-Rite DTP 20 Pulse, Neu Isenburg, Germany) before and after exposure to 4% acetic acid at 80 °C for 16 hours (ISO 6872) to calculate translucency parameter (TP values). Statistical data were analysed using the IBM SPSS 22 software. RESULTS IPS e.max Ceram Dentin had significantly the lowest TP values, and IPS e.max Press the highest TP values of all colours (A2, C2, B3), both prior and after exposure to acid (p<0.001). The difference in TP values among colours was evident in the IPS e.max Ceram Dentin material, both before and after exposure to acid with a great effect size (p<0.001; η2 = 0.702 and 0.741), and in the IPS e.max Press material (p<0.001, effect size 0.547 and 0.576). CAD/CAD specimens showed uniform TP values between three colours. Further, exposure to a corrosive medium did not result in a statistically significant change of TP values in any of the materials tested. CONCLUSIONS Different types of glass-ceramics showed significant difference in TP values both with respect to the fabrication technique and colour. Exposure to a corrosive medium did not result in a statistically significant change of TP values.

Abstract
The microbiota that forms on implant surfaces placed in the human body can be highly resistant to antimicrobial agents and in some cases cause life-threatening infections. Consequently, to limit bacterial attachment to these surfaces and thereby minimize the risk of implant infection, the process of biofilm formation and bacterial attachment must be well-understood. The oral environment is considered to be an excellent model for research into biofilm formation and implant infection, accounting for many studies carried out in the field of dental medicine. Those studies show that the roughness, free energy, and material characteristics of the implant surface largely determine initial bacterial adhesion. This article reviews the relevant literature on these aspects of biofilm formation.

Abstract
We tested the hypotheses that glass-ceramic veneers and overglazes degrade by ion exchange in an acidic environment, and that they degrade by breakdown of the silica network in a basic environment. Disk specimens of glass-ceramic veneer and glaze were fabricated and immersed in pH 2, 7, or 10 buffer solutions, for 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 30 days. Each specimen was placed in a shaker bath containing de-ionized distilled water at 80°C. Concentrations of Al(3+), Ca(2+), Zn(2+), Li(2+), and Si(4+) were analyzed by means of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP/AES). Statistical analyses were performed by factorial ANOVA. Significant differences occurred among leached ion concentrations as a function of material type, solution pH, and exposure time. A substantial release of Si occurred at pH 10 over time, leading to a breakdown of the glass phase. At pH 2, dissolution was controlled by an ionic exchange mechanism. We conclude that ceramic veneers and glazes may be susceptible to considerable degradation in low- and high-pH buffer solutions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to evaluate saliva and tongue coating pH in oral healthy patients with morning bad breath before and after use of different oral mouthrinses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Saliva and tongue coating pH of 50 patients allocated in 5 groups were measured respectively by a digital pHmeter and color pH indicators, before, immediately after and 30 min after rinsing 5 different mouthrinses: cetilpiridine chloride associated with sodium chloride, triclosan, enzymatic solution, essential oil and distilled water. RESULTS Only triclosan and essential oil increased salivary pH immediately after rising. The enzymatic solution decreased salivary and tongue coating pH immediately after rinsing. CONCLUSIONS Salivary pH tended to be acidic while tongue coating pH tended to be alkaline, even after rising. Triclosan and essential oil mouthrinses increased salivary pH immediately after rinsing. Enzymatic solution decreased saliva and tongue coating pH immediately after rising.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of two porcelain
materials (IPS d.SIGN and IPS e.max Ceram) exposed to erosive agents Material and Methods One hundred and twenty bar-shaped specimens were made from each of
fluorapatite-leucite porcelain (IPS d.SIGN) and fluorapatite porcelain (IPS e.max
Ceram) and divided into 8 groups of 15 specimens each. Six groups were alternately
immersed in the following storage agents for 30 min: deionized water (control),
citrate buffer solution, pineapple juice, green mango juice, cola soft drink and
4% acetic acid. Then, they were immersed for 5 min in deionized water at 37°C.
Seven cycles were completed, totalizing 245 min. A 7th group was
continuously immersed in 4% acetic acid at 80°C for 16 h. The final,
8th, group was stored dry at 37°C for 245 min. Three-point bending
tests were performed in a universal testing machine. The data were analyzed
statistically by 2-way ANOVA, Tukey’s HSD test and t-test at significance level of
0.05. Results The flexural strengths of all groups of each porcelain after exposure to erosive
agents in cyclic immersion did not differ significantly (p>0.05). For both
types of porcelain, dry storage at 37°C yielded the highest flexural strength,
though without significant difference from the other groups (p>0.05). The
flexural strengths of all groups of fluorapatite porcelains were significantly
higher (p<0.05) than those of the fluorapatite-leucite porcelains. Conclusions This study demonstrated that the erosive agents evaluated did not affect the
flexural strength of the tested dental porcelains.

Abstract
Objective This study evaluated the surface degradation effect of acidulated phosphate
fluoride (APF) gel exposure on the glassy matrix ceramics as a function of
time. Material and methods Disc-shaped ceramic specimens (N = 120, 10/per ceramic material) were prepared in
stainless steel molds (inner diameter: 5 mm, height: 2 mm) using 6 dental
ceramics: 3 indicated for ceramic-fused-to-metal (Vita Omega 900, Carmen and Vita
Titankeramik), 2 for all-ceramic (Vitadur Alpha and Finesse® Low
Fusing) and 1 for both types of restorations (IPS d.SIGN). The specimens were wet
ground finished, ultrasonically cleaned and auto-glazed. All specimens were
subjected to calculation of percentage of mass loss, surface roughness analysis
and topographical description by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) before (0 min)
and after exposure to 1.23 % APF gel for 4 min and 60 min representing short- and
long-term etching effect, respectively. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA
with repeated measures and Tukey`s test (α=0.05). Results Significant effect of the type of the ceramics (p=0.0000, p=0.0031) and exposure
time (p=0.0000) was observed in both surface roughness and percentage of mass loss
values, respectively. The interaction factor between both parameters was also
significant for both parameters (p=0.0904, p=0.0258). Both 4 min (0.44±0.1
- 0.81±0.2 µm) and 60 min (0.66±0.1 - 1.04±0.3
µm) APF gel exposure created significantly more surface roughness for all
groups when compared to the control groups (0.33±0.2 - 0.68±0.2
µm) (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in percentage of
mass loss between the ceramics at 4 min (p>0.05) but at 60 min exposure, IPS
d.SIGN showed the highest percentage of mass loss (0.1151±0.11). The mean
surface roughness for Vita Titankeramik (0.84±0.2 µm) and
Finesse® Low Fusing (0.74.±0.2 µm) was
significantly higher than those of the other ceramics (0.59±0.1 µm -
0.49±0.1 µm) and Vita Titankeramik (p<0.05) regardless of the
exposure time. A positive correlation was found between surface roughness and
percentage of mass loss for all ceramic materials [(r=0.518 (Vitadur
Alpha), r=0.405 (Vita Omega 900), r=0.580 (Carmen), r=0.687 (IPS d.SIGN), r=0.442
(Finesse® Low Fusing), r=0.572 (Vita Titankeramik), Pearson`s
correlation coefficient)]. The qualitative SEM analysis showed evidence of
corrosive attack on all of ceramics at varying degrees. Conclusions The ceramics indicated for either metal-ceramic or all-ceramic restorations were
all vulnerable to surface texture changes and mass loss after short-term and
long-term APF gel exposure.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Acidic food and sour fruits and drinks have been investigated for their destructive effects on enamel. However, their effect on porcelain restorations has not been widely examined. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ion leaching of porcelains immersed in acidic agents. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-five discs (12.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm in thickness) were made from each of 4 types of porcelain (VITA VMK 95, Vitadur Alpha, IPS Empress Esthetic, and IPS e.max Ceram). Baseline data of elemental compositions of all storage agents were recorded. Four groups of discs (n=10) were then immersed in acidic agents (citrate buffer solution, pineapple juice, and green mango juice) and deionized water (control) at 37 degrees C for 168 hours. One group was immersed in 4% acetic acid at 80 degrees C for 168 hours. After immersion, fluids from all specimens for each acidic agent were measured for ion leaching with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Surface characteristics of specimens were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed using 3-way repeated ANOVA and Tukey HSD multiple comparisons (alpha=.05). RESULTS This study revealed that each type of porcelain had significantly leached the various ions to varying degrees after being immersed in acidic agents (P<.001 for all comparisons). SEM photomicrographs showed surface destruction of all porcelains. CONCLUSIONS Acidic agents used in this study affected elemental dissolution of the 4 types of porcelains evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the microhardness and surface elemental compositions of ceramics immersed in acidic agents. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-five ceramic disc specimens were made from each of four types of ceramic (VMK 95, Vitadur Alpha, Empress Esthetic and IPS e.max Ceram). Before immersion, baseline data of Vicker's microhardness and elemental composition were recorded. Four groups of discs (seven per group) were then immersed in acidic agents (citrate buffer solution, pineapple juice and green mango juice) and deionized water (as a control) for 168 h at 37 degrees C. One group was immersed in 4% acetic acid at 80 degrees C for 168 h. After immersion, specimens were evaluated and data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with repeated measurements and a paired t-test at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS The microhardness values of four types of ceramic significantly decreased after being immersed in acidic agents (p < 0.05). The elemental compositions of ceramics mainly comprise silicon, aluminium and potassium. These compositions also decreased after immersion (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The acidic agents used in this study affected the microhardness and elemental dissolution of ceramics. The main elemental compositions of ceramics (silicon, aluminium and potassium) decreased after being immersed in acidic agents.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the genotoxicity of a locally produced dental porcelain (Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia) using the Ames and Comet assays. In the Ames assay, four genotypic variants of the Salmonella strains (TA98, TA100, TA1537 and TA1535) carrying mutations in several genes were used. The dental porcelain was incubated with these four strains in five different doses both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9) and the result was assessed based on the number of revertant colonies. Concurrently, appropriate positive controls were used so as to validate the test. The average number of revertant colonies per plate treated with locally produced dental porcelain was less than double as compared to that of negative control. In the Comet assay, L929 (CCL-1 ATCC, USA) mouse fibroblast cells were treated with the dental porcelain in three different concentrations along with concurrent negative and positive controls. The tail moment which was used as a measurement of DNA damage was almost equal to that of the negative control, suggesting that the locally produced dental porcelain did not induce any DNA damage. The results indicated that the locally produced dental porcelain is non-genotoxic under the present test conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elemental release is important because it plays a significant role in material biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the release of metal ions from four fixed prosthodontic materials. METHODS Specimens were prepared using the conventional lost wax technique for gold and nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloys, and by cutting blocks and bar for CAD-CAM ceramic and stainless-steel (St-St) alloy, respectively. All specimens were polished (600grit SiC paper), and ultrasonically cleaned with ethanol for 5min. After they were immersed in 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) and 1% lactic acid, and were kept at 37 degrees C for 7 days, the elemental release (mug/cm(2)) from each material was analyzed by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. The rate (n=5) was statistically analyzed by ANOVA/Tukey test (p<0.05). Two immersion blank solutions were used as a negative control group. RESULTS Higher elemental release (mean+/-S.D.) of all elements from all materials was evident into the lactic acid solution except for Ag. In the gold alloy, there was significant difference (p<0.05) between Zn and other released elements in the NaCl solution, and it also revealed significant difference between Pd or Ag and Cu which detection value was more than Zn (but no statistical difference) into lactic acid solution. The Ni was significantly more released from Ni-Cr alloy than the other elements into both NaCl and lactic acid solutions. The same was observed for Fe released from St-St alloy. There was more significant release of K than Al from CAD-CAM ceramic in only NaCl solution. SIGNIFICANCE Transient exposure of tested materials to an acidic environment is likely to significantly increase the elemental release from them. The significant higher release of Ni from Ni-Cr alloy, and Zn, Cu from gold alloy was evident.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to determine the mass concentrations of ions eluted from dental ceramic after an exposure to hydrochloric acid and, drawing on those results, to develop a feedforward backpropagation neural network (NN). MATERIALS AND METHODS Four dental ceramics were selected for this study. The experimental measurement was conducted after 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months of exposure to hydrochloric acid. The results of the 1, 2, 6 and 12 months of immersion were used for training a 13-13-5 model of NN. For evaluating NN efficiency, the regression analysis of input variables obtained by the experiment and output variables provided by the trained network was used. RESULTS The measured data from the 3-month acid exposure and data obtained by the neural network estimation were compared. High correlation coefficient (R) and low normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) between the measured and estimated output values were observed. CONCLUSIONS It could be concluded that the artificial neural network has a great potential as an additional method in investigating the properties of dental materials.

Abstract
The release of ions from a glass-ionomer glass, which in the polyacid matrix effects the cross-linking and setting of a cement, can be modelled and initiated by acid-treatment in a dilute acid. This study examined the effect of time of acetic acid leaching on the working time, setting time, and strength of a model GIC. A reactive fluoride glass was immersed in hot acetic acid for 0 (control), 5, 15, 35, 65, 95 and 125 min, filtered and dried. The glass was mixed with an experimental GI liquid in a capsule system and the mixed pastes assessed for working and initial setting time. Compressive strength testing was undertaken according to ISO9917:2003. Immersion time had a significant effect on both working and setting time of the resultant pastes only up to 65 min of immersion, and corresponded with a thin-film ion diffusion model. Compressive strength did not vary significantly with immersion time. The glass-ionomer setting reaction can be conveniently retarded by immersion of the powder in acetic acid, without affecting strength. A reactivity model was developed, whereby the effects of various changes to the leaching process may be usefully examined.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical influence of chemo-mechanical caries removal (CMCR) on surface topography of dental ceramic materials. Thirty samples of three different types of ceramics (Vita Omega, Vita Alpha, and Procera AllTitan) were manufactured and used. With an optical profilometer, designed with a confocal setting of its optics, (CLSP). and an atomic force microscope (AFM) the surface topography of the specimens was investigated at two different resolutions. The specimens were exposed to a solution (64 mm NaOCl, 27 mM amino acids, pH = 11) supposed to be more aggressive than Carisolv (34 mm NaOCl, 53mM amino acids, pH = 11), a CMCR system commercially available. After exposure for 5, 10, and 20 min, respectively, areas measured were relocated and the surface topography was reinvestigated. Parameters describing the amplitude, spatial, and hybrid topographical variation were calculated. In general, after 20 min CMCR solution exposure, the AFM topographical parameters were reduced for Vita Omega, and increased for Vita Alpha", whereas the CLSP topographical parameters of Procera AllTitan were slightly reduced. Thus, the results of this study showed minor influence on surface topography after exposure to CMCR solution for 20 min on the dental ceramics Vita Omega, Vita Alpha, and Procera AllTitan.

Abstract
Dental ceramics are often called inert materials. It can be hypothesized, however, that differences in the composition, microstructure, and environmental conditions will affect the degree of corrosion degradation in an aqueous environment. The aims of the study were, therefore, to study the ion dissolution from glass-phase ceramics, with or without crystalline inclusions, and from all-crystalline ceramics and to compare the effects of different corrosion media. Ceramic specimens were produced from glass-phase and oxide ceramics and given an equivalent surface smoothness, after which they were subjected to in vitro corrosion (Milli-Q water at 37 +/- 2 degrees C for 18 h and 4% acetic acid solution at 80 +/- 2 degrees C for 18 h, respectively). The temperature of the corrosion solution was slowly increased until it reached 80 +/- 2 degrees C to reduce the risk of microcrack formation at the surface. The analyses of ion leakage were performed with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. A large number of inorganic elements leached out from the various dental ceramics. The major leaching elements were sodium and potassium; in the acid-corrosion experiments, there were also magnesium, silicon, and aluminum and, on a lower scale, yttrium, calcium, and chromium. The various glass-phase ceramics displayed significant differences in ion leakage and significantly higher leakage values than all-crystalline alumina and zirconia ceramics. No significant difference in dissolution was found between high and low-sintering glass-phase ceramics or between glass-phase ceramics with high volume fractions of crystallites in the glass phase in comparison with those with lower crystalline content. It can be concluded, therefore, that none of the dental ceramics studied are chemically inert in an aqueous environment.

Abstract
Dental ceramics are generally regarded as low-adhesive materials. Different ceramics may, however, differ in composition and physico-chemical surface properties, which may be changed after corrosion. The aim of this study was to examine the adsorption of proteins onto specimens of different ceramic materials after the incubation in saliva and plasma before and after in vitro corrosion. In addition, the topography of the biofilm was examined by AFM. Surface-bound proteins were desorbed and analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and immunoblotting using antibodies to saliva and plasma proteins. Silver-stained gels indicated differences in the adsorption of proteins. Differences in surface roughness at the nanometer level did not, however, seem to be correlated to the protein adsorption. After corrosion, unchanged or increased protein staining was generally seen in the gels and Western blots. The reactions for salivary amylase and proline-rich proteins varied between the different materials. Albumin and fibrinogen were identified in samples from all materials tested. Fibronectin and in specific IgA were more sparsely seen. No saliva but all plasma proteins were identified in the alumina and yttria-stabilised zirconia samples and reduced protein reactions were obtained after corrosion.
