Objectives: The most important drawback of dental implant/abutment assemblies is the need for a fixing screw. This study aimed to develop an esthetic one-piece Y-TZP abutment to suppress the use of the screw.
Methods: Material characterization was performed using a bar-shaped specimen obtained by slip-casting to validate the method prior to prototype abutment fabrication by the same process. The mechanical behavior of the prototype abutment was verified and compared with a conventional abutment by finite element analysis (FEA). The abutment was evaluated by micro-CT analysis and its density was measured.
Results: FEA showed stress concentration at the first thread pitch during installation and in the cervical region during oblique loading for both abutments. However, stress concentration was observed at the base of the screw head and stem in the conventional abutment. The relative density for the fabricated abutment was 95.68%. Micro-CT analysis revealed the presence of elongated cracks with sharp edges over the surface and porosity in the central region.
Significance: In the light of these findings, the behavior of a one-piece abutment is expected to be better than that of the conventional model. New studies should be conducted to clarify the performance and longevity of this one-piece Y-TZP abutment.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of surface treatment on the phase and fracture strength of yttria-and magnesia-stabilized and its mechanisms.
Methods: One-piece cylindrical screw-type implants were fabricated with yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) using computer aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacture (CAM) technique.They were divided into three groups: (1) placed in water for 1 h after final sintering (control group), (2) sandblasting using 110 μm AlO particles, (3) sandblasting plus etching with hydrofluoric acid for 1 h.

The objective of this study was to clarify the fatigue behavior of hollow yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) specimens assuming its use for two-piece implants. The fatigue properties of a solid specimen (which simulated a one-piece implant) and 3 types of hollow specimens (which simulated two-piece implants) were evaluated. Specimens were either solid with a diameter of 4.

Objective: This investigation determined the internal precision of one-piece cross-arch yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) ceramic fabricated from two digital systems (Trios-3 and CS-3500) compared to traditional metal alloy casting.
Materials And Methods: A metal model consisting of four abutments (two canine and two molar) was used for one-piece cross-arch reconstruction. The metal abutments were computerized, prepared in a cylinder form possessing 5° taper and chamfer margin.

Objectives: The effects of different surface treatments on cyclic fatigue strengths of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia implants and its mechanisms were evaluated.
Material And Methods: One-piece cylindrical screw-type zirconia (Y-TZP) implants with diameters of 4.1-mm were fabricated using CAD/CAM technique; they were divided into four groups according to the type of surface treatment: (i) sintering (control group, CTRL), (ii) sandblasting (SB), (iii) sandblasting and etching with an experimental hot etching solution (SB-ST), and (iv) sandblasting and etching with hydrofluoric acid (SB-HF).
