The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity against and fibroblast viability of zirconia coated with glass ceramic powder containing Ag and F nanoparticles. Specimens were divided into eight groups depending on the glass ceramic powders: 5, 10, 15, 20 wt% of NaF and Ag, respectively. Adhesion of on glass-coated zirconia surface was evaluated by antimicrobial test. Fibroblast viability was examined by WST-8 assay. In result, the bacterial activity was reduced by 11.8%, 15.4% in Ag 10 wt% and 20 wt% groups. When 5~15 wt% of NaF was added, bacterial counts decreased to 4.2~65.4%, and when 20 wt% of NaF was added, the number of bacteria increased by 29.4%. Regardless of Ag and NaF content, all zirconia specimens showed cell viability above 70%. Within the limitations of this study, zirconia coated with glass ceramics powder containing Ag and NaF was found to reduce the adhesion of but had no influence on osteoblast activation.

In laser safety eyewear, due to the lack of complete blocking of ultraviolet and infrared rays, we proposed a structure based on one-dimensional multilayer composed of several layers of silicon dioxide and zirconium dioxide materials alternately behind polycarbonate lens. It is find out that the acceptance angle range to the photonic crystal is 0 to 39°. This incident angle range corresponds to the band gap of the photonic crystal.

Inorganic/inorganic composites are found in multiple applications crucial for the energy transition, from nuclear reactors to energy storage devices. Their microstructures dictate their properties from mass transport to fracture resistance. Consequently, there has been a multitude of processes developed to control them, from powder mixing and the use of short or long fibers, to tape casting for laminates up to recent 3D printing.

This study evaluated the effects of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) using different universal adhesives on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of pretreated monolithic translucent tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia-based CAD/CAM restoration to dentin and microscopic morphological alterations. Mid-coronal dentin were obtained from 32 human molars and randomly allocated into 8 groups according to the presence/absence of IDS, universal adhesives for IDS (Single Bond Universal/SBU, Clearfil Quick Bond/CUQ, Optibond Universal/OBU) and zirconia surface pretreatments (tribochemical silica coating-30 μm CoJet particles/TSC, sandblasting-50 μm AlO/SB): Group TSC, Group TSC+SBU, Group TSC+CUQ, Group TSC+OBU, Group SB, Group SB+SBU, Group SB+CUQ, Group SB+OBU. CAD/CAM restorations (Lava Plus High Translucency Zirconia Disc) were produced, luted, and subjected to 10.

Objectives: Using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology in restorative dentistry increased the application of lithium disilicate (LD) materials. The bond strength to core and repairing materials is crucial in the restoration's longevity. This systematic review evaluates the shear bond strength (SBS) of CAD-CAM-LD restorative materials to other materials using different surface treatments.

High phosphorus Ni-P coatings, both unreinforced and modified by the addition of alumina (AlO) and zirconia (ZrO) nanoparticles, were manufactured by electroless deposition technique and heat-treated with different temperature and duration schedules. The effect of dehydrogenation (200 °C for 2 h) and its combination with crystallization heat treatment was studied in terms of microstructural changes and wear resistance. The amorphous structure of the coatings was not altered by the introduction of both AlO and ZrO nanoparticles, and the addition of 1.
