Objectives: The development of yttrium oxide partially stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) has allowed the use of ceramic in load-bearing sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the biaxial flexural strength, hardness and fatigue life of colored and uncolored zirconia in the LAVAtrade mark system.
Materials And Methods: Eight groups (n=30) of standardized disc specimens (15mmx1.3mm) were used to examine the biaxial flexural strength (ISO 6872 standard) using a Dartec HC10 Fatigue Tester (Zwick Ltd., UK) and Vickers hardness was also measured. The uncolored, FS4, FS7 groups were also submitted to dynamic fatigue testing to produce stress-number curves. The strength reliability was analyzed using Weibull distribution.
Results: All groups had a mean biaxial flexural strength, hardness and Weibull modulus (m) of approximately 1100MPa, 1300HV and 9.8-12.9, respectively. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed no significant difference in biaxial flexural strength among the eight groups (p>0.05). Two-way ANOVA showed no significant differences in hardness values among groups except FS1 and FS5 which had significantly higher hardness values than FS4 and FS7 (p<0.001) and FS5 also had a higher hardness value than FS3 (p<0.05). Additionally, uncolored, FS4 and FS7 survived at 5x10(5) cycles at a stress level in the range of 60-65% of the mean biaxial flexural strength.
Conclusion: There was no difference in flexural strength of uncolored and colored Y-TZP ceramic. The fatigue limit of uncolored, FS4 and FS7 zirconia may be defined as lying between 60 and 65% of the stress to failure.

This study compares the mechanical properties of 5-mol% yttria partially stabilized zirconia (5Y-PSZ) materials, designed for 3D printing or milling. Three 5Y-PSZ materials were investigated: printed zirconia (PZ) and two milled zirconia materials, VITA-YZ-XT (MZ-1) and Cercon xt (MZ-2). PZ samples were made from a novel ceramic suspension via digital light processing and divided into three subgroups: PZ-HN-ZD (horizontal nesting, printed with Zipro-D Dental), PZ-VN-Z (vertical nesting, printed with Zipro-D Dental) and PZ-VN-Z (vertical nesting, printed with Zipro Dental).

Highly translucent zirconia (TZ) is frequently used in dentistry. The properties of several highly translucent zirconia materials available in the market require an in-depth understanding. In this study, we assessed the translucency, crystalline phase, mechanical properties, and microstructures of three newly developed highly translucent zirconia materials (Zpex 4.

Hydroxyapatite/zirconia (HAP/ZrO) composites were fabricated via the low-temperature mineralization sintering process (LMSP) at an extremely low temperature of 130 °C to enhance the mechanical properties of HAP and broaden its practical applications. For this purpose, 5-20 vol% calcia-stabilized ZrO were introduced into HAP, and HAP/ZrO nanoparticles, mixed with simulated body fluid, were densified under a uniaxial pressure of 800 MPa at 130 °C. At 10 vol% ZrO, the relative density of the HAP/ZrO composite was determined to be 88.

Background: This study aimed to develop ion-releasing and antibacterial resin-based dental sealants comprising 3 to 6 wt% monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM, M), 3 to 6 wt% bioactive glass (BAG, B), and 3 to 6 wt% polylysine (PLS, P). The physical properties, mechanical performance, cytotoxicity, and inhibition of S. mutans biofilm by these materials were subsequently evaluated.

Objective: To synthesize bilayer zirconia systems based on commercial or recycled 3Y-TZP obtained from non-milled remnants and to compare their optical and mechanical properties before and after aging.
Methods: Bilayer zirconia samples were fabricated using either recycled 3Y-TZP (3Y-R/4Y and 3Y-R/5Y) or commercial powders (3Y/4Y and 3Y/5Y). Microstructure and phase composition were analyzed using ScanningElectronMicroscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).
