AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how hydrothermal aging impacts the optical properties of two types of zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics used in dental restorations.
- Thirty ceramic samples were tested from three different materials (ZirCAD prime, Katana UTML, and IPS e.max CAD), with color and microstructural analyses performed before and after aging.
- Results showed significant changes in color difference, translucency, and contrast ratio over time, with zirconia having the highest color difference, lithium disilicate showing the greatest translucency, and Katana UTML exhibiting the best contrast ratio after aging.
Article Abstract
Background: An esthetically acceptable ceramic restoration should have optical properties like the teeth and reflect, transmit, and absorb light. The present investigation compared how hydrothermal aging affected the properties of two types of zirconia and lithium disilicate.
Methods: Thirty rectangular samples (12×14×1 mm) were prepared and sectioned from three different ceramic blocks/blanks (n=10), then assigned into three groups according to the ceramic type: group Z: IPS e.max ZirCAD prime, gradient zirconia (3Y/5Y-TZP); group K: Katana UTML (5Y-TZP); and group E: IPS e.max CAD (lithium disilicate). Color analysis of samples was performed before and after hydrothermal aging (1, 3, and 5 hours) using a spectrophotometer. Color difference (∆E), translucency parameter (TP), and contrast ratio (CR) were evaluated. The microstructural analysis was performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD). Data were statistically analyzed at a significance level of <0.05.
Results: A statistically significant variation was observed across means of ∆E, TP, and CR at different times. Group Z displayed the highest statistically significant mean ∆E. Group E demonstrated the greatest statistically significant mean TP. Group K exhibited the most statistically significant mean CR.
Conclusion: Hydrothermal aging significantly affected the optical characteristics of lithium disilicate and zirconia ceramics. The translucency of samples increased with aging.

Objectives: To characterize two experimental zirconia bilayer materials compared to their monolithic controls, before and after hydrothermal aging.
Methods: Commercial zirconia powders were utilized to fabricate two bilayer materials: 3Y-TZP+ 5Y-PSZ (3Y+5Y/BI) and 4Y-PSZ+ 5Y-PSZ (4Y+5Y/BI), alongside control groups 3Y-TZP (3Y/C), 4Y-PSZ (4Y/C), and 5Y-PSZ (5Y/C). Compacted specimens were sintered (1550 °C- 2 h, 3 °C/min), and half of them underwent hydrothermal aging (134 °C-20h, 2.

The use of nanozymes for electrochemical detection in the food industry is an intriguing area of research. In this study, we synthesized a laccase mimicking the MnO@CeO nanozyme using a simple hydrothermal method, which was characterized by modern analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), etc. We found that the addition of MnO significantly increased the laccase-like activity by 300% compared to CeO nanorods.

Background: The clinical performance of dental materials can be predicted via artificial aging approaches. The bracket bonding procedure may cause irreversible alterations to the enamel surface. The aim of this study was to introduce a novel artificial aging protocol and evaluate its effect on the discoloration of both bracket-bonded and unbonded teeth while also comparing the effects of four orthodontic adhesives on enamel color and whiteness.

Z-scheme CeO-TiO@CNT (CTC) heterojunction is fabricated using hydrothermal method and evaluated for removing mixed pollutants (MIX-P) from ciprofloxacin (CPF) and textile contaminations. CTC demonstrated ≈99% removal efficiency against MIX-P under solar irradiation of ≈10 lumens. High removal efficiency of CTC is attributed to reduced bandgap (E), 2.
