AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore fatigue testing methods for translucent zirconia dental materials and their correlation with in vivo failures.
  • A total of 4555 studies were initially found, but after filtering, only 41 relevant articles were included in the review.
  • The step-stress method was the most commonly used fatigue testing approach, and while most fractures occurred at the cementation or contact surfaces, only three studies reported failures that matched clinical observations.

Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate fatigue methods for the evaluation of translucent zirconia and to associate in vitro failures with clinically reported ones.

Data: Studies published in English that used fatigue tests on dental translucent zirconia.

Sources: Two databases (MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus) were electronically searched without any restriction on year of publication.

Study Selection: A total of 4555 studies were identified. After removal of duplicates (78) and irrelevant articles (4316) that did not meet the inclusion criteria, 161 articles were considered eligible based on their titles and abstracts. These articles were fully read, leading to the inclusion of 41 studies in the review.

Results: The most widely used fatigue method for evaluation of translucent zirconia was step-stress (18 articles), followed by staircase (seven articles), and step-wise (two articles). Most studies had been conducted in a wet environment with the use of a stainless steel piston to apply load to cemented structures on a dentin-like substrate. Most fracture analyses indicated the fracture originated on the cementation or contact surface where the load was applied. Moreover, studies that utilized anatomical structures (dental crowns) reported fractures starting at the cervical margin of the crowns.

Conclusion: Most studies used the step-stress method. Only three studies reported failures similar to those found in clinical trials that used translucent zirconia restorations.

Clinical Significance: The study findings can assist on correlating clinical failures to the ones observed in vitro.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of femtosecond laser (FL) irradiation on the surface roughness and shear bond strength of high-translucency zirconia (6 mol% yttria-partially stabilized zirconia [6Y-PSZ]) and lithium disilicate (LiSiO) glass ceramics.

Methods: Fully sintered square-shaped specimens of 6Y-PSZ (7 groups; 20 specimens/group) and LiSiO (8 groups; 20 specimens/group) were surface-treated via sandblasting (50-μm alumina sand or glass beads) or FL irradiation (20- or 40-μm dot or cross-line patterns) or using Monobond Etch & Prime (Ivoclar Vivadent AG; only for LiSiO specimens). The surface roughness (arithmetic average [Sa] and developed interfacial area ratio [Sdr]) and shear bond strength after 24 h and 10,000 thermal cycles were measured and statistically analyzed.

This study evaluated the effect of grinding and finishing treatments (polishing or glaze) on the color stability, translucency and opalescence of a translucent zirconia (3Y-TZP) after immersion in red wine. Discs (Ø= 12 mm; thickness 0.8 mm) of 3Y-TZP (Zenostar T, Ivoclar AG) were randomly allocated (n= 8) according to the surface treatment factor: Ctrl - as-sintered; Gr - grinding with diamond bur #4219; Gr + Pol - grinding followed by polishing; Gr + Gl - grinding followed by glaze.

Background: Translucency of dental ceramics have great impact on the esthetic and success of dental restorations. The goal of the study is to investigate the effect of the aging process on the translucency of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic material, and lithium disilicate ceramic material made using CAD/CAM and press processes.

Methods: Thirty disc-shaped specimens with 0.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of bonded substrate, zirconia surface conditioning and the interaction between them on the shear bond strength of monolithic zirconia.

Methods: Forty-eight monolithic zirconia discs were CAD-CAM fabricated and divided into two groups according to surface treatment either as milled and universal primer application (Monobond N, Ivoclar-Vivadent) (P) or sandblasting then universal primer application (Monobond N) (SP). Each main group was further divided into three test groups according to the bonded substrate: dentin (DSP, DP), composite (CSP, CP) or resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) (GSP, GP).

Objectives: To assess the clinical performance of tooth-supported 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made from shade-graded monolithic 5Y-PSZ (partly stabilized zirconia) zirconia in terms of survival rate and the quality of restorations based on modified FDI criteria over three-years.

Materials And Methods: High-translucent shade-graded monolithic zirconia (Lava Esthetic, Solventum Dental Solutions) was used to manufacture maxillary or mandibular three-unit FDPs in the posterior region (N = 22) employing subtractive milling system (Amann Girrbach). All FDPs were bonded with a universal resin cement (Rely X Universal, Solventum Dental Solutions) and evaluated 4 weeks after cementation (baseline) and after 1, 2, and 3 years.
