Objective: As a result of advancements in chairside technology and speed sintering techniques and increased esthetic demands of patients, efforts have been made to produce monolithic zirconia restorations that are highly translucent, strong, and dense. While methods for processing zirconia are well known, there is a tendency to modify the process parameters with the aim of decreasing the overall processing time and, in particular, the sintering time. This review provides clinicians with scientific evidence of the effects of altering sintering parameters used for dental zirconia on its microstructure, phase transformation, and mechanical and optical properties.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search of Embase and Medline using Boolean operators was performed to locate relevant articles.
Results: Eleven articles were selected for this review. The following characteristics of monolithic zirconia have been confirmed to be affected by alterations in sintering: the microstructure, mechanical properties, optical properties, wear behavior, and low thermal degradation.
Conclusions: The alteration of sintering parameters has been found to alter the grain size, wear behavior, and translucency of zirconia. There is a lack of clinical studies that investigate the influence of altering sintering parameters or methods on the clinical performance of monolithic zirconia restorations.
Clinical Significance: Alteration of sintering parameters alters the microstructural, mechanical, and optical properties of zirconia. This will consequently impact the clinical performance of zirconia prostheses. Future clinical investigations are encouraged to support these in vitro findings.

Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.

Cold isostatic pressing, gel casting, and protein coagulation are the most common techniques to produce green bodies prior to computer numerical control (CNC)-based machining for the near-net-scale shaping of ceramics. These methods typically involve various additives and entail several steps to create a green body that is capable of withstanding machining forces. Here, utilizing a single additive, we first introduced a facile benchtop method to generate self-standing, malleable doughs of alumina in under 2 min.

The paper highlights the realization of 3D-printed parts with complex geometries, such as chess-like pieces, using polyamide 12 (PA12) as polymeric powder via selective laser sintering (SLS). The research activity focuses on the study of the powder printability, the optimization of the printing parameters, and the tomographic evaluation of the printed objects. Morphological analyses were carried out to study the PA12 powder microstructure considering that SLS required specific particle size distribution and shape, able to guarantee a good flowability necessary to take part in a sintering process.

The manufacturing of work parts made of powder (sintered) steels is currently widespread in industry, as it provides minimal processing allowances and high dimensional accuracy, as well as the required properties and unconventional chemical composition. At the same time, their low tensile or bending strength must be considered a serious disadvantage. In order to minimize these disadvantages, a number of strengthening technologies are used, among which is the infiltration of porous base materials with metal alloys.

The manufacturing precision of electro-hydraulic servo valve sleeves is critical to the performance and longevity of the valves. To ensure the service life of these valves, the valve sleeve is typically made from high-hardness martensitic stainless steel, which is considered a hard-to-cut material. Current honing methods often suffer from inefficiency and instability.
