Article Synopsis
- High-speed sintering is an efficient method for creating aesthetic dental restorations, but there's limited data on how it affects the fatigue strength of 4Y-TZP ceramics.
- This study aimed to investigate how high-speed sintering and the type of preshading (monochrome vs. multilayer) influence the fatigue behavior of these ceramics through various dynamic tests.
- Results indicated that the multilayered 4Y-TZP exhibited better fatigue performance than the monochrome version, but high-speed sintering seemed to have a negative impact on the overall fatigue behavior, with no significant deterioration when compared to conventionally sintered materials.
Purpose: To investigate the impact of high-speed sintering on the accuracy (trueness and reproducibility) and fit of 4Y-TZP full-coverage single-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) and three-unit FDPs.
Materials And Methods: Single-unit FDPs, conventional three-unit FDPs, and cantilever three-unit FDPs (N = 108; n = 12 per subgroup) were fabricated from: (1) high-speed sintered (1,580°C, about 20 minutes) multi-layer 4Y-TZP (Zolid RS, Amann Girrbach; ZMLH group), as well as two conventionally sintered (1,450°C, about 10 hours) materials: (2) multi-layer 4Y-TZP (Zolid Gen-X, Amann Girrbach; ZMLC group) and (3) monochrome 4Y-TZP (Ceramill Zolid HT+ PS, Amann Girrbach; ZMOC group). All specimens were scanned.
