Statement Of Problem: The wear of monolithic zirconia against enamel has been widely studied, but how zirconia affects different opposing restorative materials is not clear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the depth of wear and volumetric loss of different restorative materials opposed by monolithic zirconia.
Material And Methods: Sixty-six Ø10×3-mm specimens (n=11) were fabricated from monolithic zirconia, zirconia reinforced ceramic, lithium disilicate ceramic, feldspathic ceramic, ORMOCER, and ceramic optimized polymer.
Statement Of Problem: The flexural strength of zirconia restorations is partially dependent on the sintering process. Changes in sintering protocols as well as hydrothermal aging may affect the flexural strength of zirconia materials.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate how changes in sintering parameters and hydrothermal aging affect the biaxial flexural strength of monolithic zirconia.
Statement Of Problem: Prosthetic complications have been frequently reported in implant-supported complete-arch prosthesis. Prosthetic restorations designed with an all-on-four treatment concept and fabricated from zirconia ceramic may be used to overcome these problems.
Purpose: The purpose of this biomechanical study was to evaluate the effects of cantilever length and inclination of implant on the stress distribution in bone tissue, implant, and a monolithic zirconia ceramic-lithium disilicate glass-ceramic superstructure for all-on-four prosthesis.
Purpose: This study aimed to biomechanically evaluate the effects of cantilever length and implant inclination on the stress distribution of mandibular prosthetic restorations constructed from monolithic zirconia ceramic.
Materials And Methods: Mandibular full-arch prostheses supported by four implants constructed from monolithic zirconia were designed using either a 5-mm or 9-mm cantilever length and a 15-degree or 30-degree distal tilt for the posterior implants. A simulated static load of 600 N was applied from the right side at a 45-degree angle.
