Effect of glazing application side and mechanical cycling on the biaxial flexural strength and Weibull characteristics of a Y-TZP ceramic

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Glaze application on monolithic zirconia (Y-TZP) can be a practical approach to improve the mechanical properties of this material. Objective Our study evaluated the effect of glazing side and mechanical cycling on the biaxial flexure strength (BFS) of a Y-TZP. Methodology Eighty sintered Y-...

A new approach for Y-TZP surface treatment: evaluations of roughness and bond strength to resin cemen

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the effect of sonochemical treatment on the surface of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) before and after the final sintering. Material and Methods Twenty-eight Y-TZP discs were divided into four groups (n=7), according to surface treatment: ...

Y-TZP surface treatments and their effects on the bond strength to resin cement

Braz. j. oral sci; 18 (), 2019
Aim: This study evaluated the effect of surface treatments of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramics on their bond strength to a resin cement. Methods: Seventy zirconia blocks (6 × 6 × 2 mm3, IPS e.max ZirCAD) were assigned into 7 groups (n=10) – as-sintered (AS), no treat...

Polishing of ground y-tzp ceramic is mandatory for improving the mechanical behavior

Braz. dent. j; 29 (5), 2018
Abstract It evaluated the effect of aging by Low Temperature Degradation (LTD), executed after post- processing surface treatments (polishing, heat treatment and glazing), on the surface characteristics (micromorphology and roughness) and on the structural stability (phase transformation and mechanical b...

Can the application of multi-mode adhesive be a substitute to silicatized/silanized y-tzp ceramics?

Braz. dent. j; 29 (3), 2018
Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of a multi-mode adhesive (SBU-Scotch Bond Universal/3M) as a substitute for silica coating and silane application on the bonding of zirconia ceramics to resin cement. One-hundred and twenty sintered zirconia ceramic blocks (5 x 5 x 5 mm) were obtained, fini...

Pre-sintered Y-TZP sandblasting: effect on surface roughness, phase transformation, and Y-TZP/veneer bond strength

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (6), 2017
Abstract Sandblasting is a common method to try to improve the Y-TZP/veneer bond strength of dental prostheses, however, it may put stress on zirconia surfaces and could accelerate the t→m phase transformation. Y-TZP sandblasting before sintering could be an alternative to improve surface roughness...

A study of the modification of Y-TZP and resin cement with titanium dioxide nanotubes

Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2) have been applied to enhance the mechanical properties of dental materials. Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) has been increasingly used in dentistry. Aside from its optimal clinical results, Y-TZP is prone to failures related to insufficient thi...

Mechanical behavior of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal: Effects of different aging regimens

Abstract This study aimed to characterize and compare the effect of different aging regimens on surface characteristic (topography and roughness), structural stability (phase transformation) and mechanical performance (Weibull analysis) of a Y-TZP ceramic. Discs (15 × 1.2 mm; VITA In-Ceram YZ) were prep...

Effect of ceramic thickness, grinding, and aging on the mechanical behavior of a polycrystalline zirconia

Abstract Monolithic restorations of Y-TZP have been recommended as a restorative alternative on prosthetic dentistry as it allows a substantial reduction of ceramic thickness, which means a greater preservation of tooth structure. However, the influence of grinding and aging when using a thinner layer of...
