Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the effects of multiple firings on the translucency, crystal structure, and mechanical strength of highly translucent zirconia. Four types of highly translucent zirconia (LAVA Esthetic, LAVA Plus, KATANA Zirconia STML, and KATANA Zirconia HTML) were fired three times at three different temperatures, and the translucency, crystal structure, and flexural strength were evaluated before and after firing. The translucency was statistically compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance; the zirconia phase composition was assessed using X-ray diffraction followed by Rietveld analysis; and the biaxial flexural strength was assessed using Weibull analysis. The translucency of LAVA Esthetic and KATANA Zirconia HTML decreased significantly after firing, and the crystal composition of LAVA Plus and KATANA Zirconia HTML changed after multiple firings, whereas multiple firings did not affect the biaxial flexural strength of any samples. Thus, multiple firings may affect the optical properties of highly translucent zirconia.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of grinding on some surface properties of two lithium disilicate-based glass-ceramics, one experimental new product denominated LaMaV Press (UFSCar-Brazil) and another commercial known as IPS e-max Press (Ivoclar), in the context of simulated clinical adjustment. Discs (N = 24, 12 mm in diameter) were separated into four groups: LaMaV Press with no grinding (E), LaMaV Press after grinding (EG), IPS e-max Press with no grinding (C), and IPS e-max Press after grinding (CG). A 0.1-mm deep grinding was carried out on EG and CG samples (final thickness of 1.4 mm) using a diamond stone in a low-speed device. The E and C samples had the same thickness. The effect of grinding on the sample surfaces was evaluated by X-ray diffraction, mechanical and optical profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, goniometry, and Vickers hardness. The mean roughness (Ra) was evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis and Student-Newman-Keuls statistics. The surface energy (SE) by the sessile drop method and Vickers hardness (VH) were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The Ra medians were E = 1.69 µm, EG = 1.57 µm, C = 1.45 µm, and CG = 1.13 µm with p = 0.0284. The SE and VH were similar for all materials and treatments. Grinding smoothed the surfaces and did not significantly alter the hardness and surface energy of both LaMaV Press and IPS e-max Press. These glass-ceramics presented similar surface properties, and clinical adjustments can be implemented without loss of performance of both materials. A grinding standardization device developed that allowed to control the amount of grinding, the speed of rotation speed and the force exerted on the samples.

J Conserv Dent 2021; 24:599-605. [PMID: 35558667 PMCID: PMC9089761 DOI: 10.4103/jcd.jcd_249_21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: To compare the effect of different zirconia surface treatments on cement bond strength to dentine. Materials and Methods: Stick-shaped pre-sintered zirconia (N = 128) were prepared and divided into eight groups (n = 16). Three surface treatments (sandblasting, neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet [Nd:YAG] or carbon dioxide laser irradiation) were applied, either before (later to be sintered) or after sintering. The last test group was sintered zirconia coated with feldspathic veneering ceramic. Sintered zirconia without surface treatment was tested as the control group. Zirconia samples were cemented to dentine using Panavia F2 cement. The micro-shear bond strength was measured after 24 h (n = 8) or 10,000 thermocycling (n = 8). Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variances and Student's t-tests. Results: Zirconia coated with feldspathic ceramic revealed the highest bond strength (P < 0.001). Presintered zirconia treated with Nd: YAG laser showed a significantly improved bond strength compared to the control group before and after thermocycling. The bond strength after thermocycling was significantly reduced in presintered zirconia treated with Nd: YAG or sandblasting. Adhesive failure at the zirconia-cement interface was the dominant failure type. Conclusions: Surface treatment of presintered zirconia by Nd:YAG laser or coating of the sintered specimens with feldspathic veneering ceramic increased the zirconia-cement bond strength.

Effect of different grinding protocols on surface characteristics and fatigue behavior of yttria-stabilized zirconia polycrystalline: An in vitro study. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 124:486.e1-486.e8. [PMID: 32446636 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia frameworks milled by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) often require clinical adjustments. In addition, zirconia prefabricated abutments can also require customization to achieve an adequate emergence profile. However, the influence of grinding adjustment on the surface characteristics and mechanical behavior of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and the best grinding protocol is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different grinding protocols on the surface characteristics, phase transformation, and mechanical behavior of Y-TZP for frameworks and implant abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bar-shaped specimens were fabricated according to ISO 6872-2016 and divided into 3 groups: GC (control, untreated), GA (grinding and finishing with medium and fine diamond rotary instruments using high-speed handpiece under constant water cooling), and GB (grinding and finishing with coarse and medium diamond rotary instruments, respectively, using slow-speed handpiece without water cooling). After specimen grinding, the topography and surface roughness were evaluated by using a laser confocal microscope, the Young modulus was measured by the impulse excitation technique, and crystallographic phase transformation was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. Specimens were then submitted to step-stress accelerated life testing (n=18). The surface roughness and Young modulus results were analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). The data of step-stress accelerated life testing were analyzed by the survival probability considering the number of cycles and force until fracture. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found among groups considering surface roughness (GA>GB>GC) (P<.05) and Young modulus (GB>GA=GC) (P=.003). X-ray diffraction showed that grinding leads to phase transformation, GC showed only tetragonal phase, while GA and GB showed tetragonal and monoclinic phases. No statistically significant difference (P<.05) was found among groups submitted to the same loading profile when the survival probability was compared, but significant difference was found between the light and moderate loading (P=.002) and light and severe loading (P=.014) of GB when different loading profiles in each group were compared. CONCLUSIONS Although grinding protocols affected surface characteristics and promoted phase transformation, the mechanical behavior of Y-TZP was not impaired. Therefore, both the grinding protocols tested can be safely used based on the evaluated properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study evaluated the effect of grinding on the surface morphology, mean roughness, crystalline phase, flexural strength, and Weibull modulus of monolithic (MZ) and conventional (CZ) zirconias. METHODS AND MATERIALS CZ and MZ bars and square-shaped specimens were distributed into three subgroups, combining grinding (G) and irrigation (W) with distilled water: Ctrl (Control: no grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.2 mm and 12 × 1.2 mm), DG (dry grinding, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm), and WG (grinding with irrigation, 20 × 4 × 1.5 mm and 12 × 1.5 mm). The grinding (0.3 mm) was performed on a standardized device using a low-rotation wheel-shaped diamond stone. The four-point flexural strength test was performed on the EMIC 2000 machine (5 KN, 0.5 mm/min). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the surface morphology. An X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to obtain the crystalline structures that were analyzed by the Rietveld method. Flexural strength (FS) values were subjected to the Shapiro-Wilk test and two-way analysis of variance followed by the Tukey's test (for all tests, α=0.05). RESULTS Grinding, either with or without irrigation, did not change the FS of the MZ but increased the FS of the CZ. Both MZ and CZ showed similar morphologic patterns after grinding, and in the WG groups, the grinding was more aggressive. The MZ had greater monoclinic content in all groups; grinding without irrigation caused the smallest t→m transformation. CONCLUSION The grinding, when necessary, should be carried out without irrigation for conventional and monolithic zirconias.

Fatigue behavior and surface characterization of a Y-TZP after laboratory grinding and regeneration firing. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2018; 88:305-312.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of grinding and regeneration firing on the flexural fatigue limit and surface characterization of Lava™ Y-TZP ceramic. Forty bar-shaped specimens with 20 × 4.0 × 1.2 mm constituted the as-sintered group (AS = control group), and 80 specimens with 20 × 4.0 × 1.5 mm were ground with cylindrical laboratory stone under water-cooling (WG) or in a dry condition (G) to reach 1.2 mm in thickness. Half of specimens were submitted to regeneration firing (1000 °C, 30 min), forming the groups AS/R, WG/R and G/R. Fatigue limit (500,000 cycles, 10 Hz) was determined by staircase method in a 4-point flexural fixture. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (α = 0.05). The surface topography (n = 3) and fracture area (n = 3) were evaluated by SEM. Samples were also analyzed by Rietveld refinement from X-ray diffraction data. ANOVA revealed significant differences (P < .001) for grinding protocol, regeneration firing and their interaction. In the groups not submitted to regeneration firing, the mean flexural fatigue limit of WG was higher (P < .05) than that of G and AS, with no statistical difference between each other (P > .05). After regeneration firing the inequality WG>AS>G (P < .05) was observed. The regeneration firing increased the fatigue limit of AS group and decreased those of G and WG groups (P < .05). Grinding protocols created evident grooves on zirconia surface. Failures initiated on tensile side of all specimens. The percentages (wt%) of monoclinic phase before cyclic loading were: AS (7.4), AS/R (6.5), G (2.8), G/R (0.0), WG (4.4), WG/R (0.0); and after cyclic loading: AS (8.6), AS/R (1.2), G (2.4), G/R (5.7), WG (6.3), WG/R (0.0). Wet grinding did not compromise the fatigue limit of zirconia, increasing its mechanical strength. Regeneration firing reduced the fatigue limit of ground samples, despite reducing the amount of monoclinic phase in all experimental conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of airborne-particle abrasion (APA) and Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation on 4-point-flexural strength, phase transformation and morphologic changes of zirconia ceramics treated at pre-sintered or post-sintered stage. METHODS Three hundred and forty-two bar shaped zirconia specimens were milled with different sizes according to the flexural strength test (n = 10), X-ray diffraction (XRD) (n = 4) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) (n = 4) analyses. For each test protocol, specimens were divided into 4 main groups whether the surface treatments applied before or after sintering and whether the specimens received heat treatment or not as pre-sintered, post-sintered no-heat and post-sintered heat-treated groups, and a group was served as control. Main groups were further divided into 6 equal subgroups according to surface treatment method applied (2 W-, 3 W-, 4 W-, 5 W-, 6 W-laser irradiations and APA). Surface treatments were applied to pre-sintered groups before sintering and to post-sintered groups after sintering. Post-sintered heat-treated groups were subjected to veneer ceramic firing simulation after surface treatments. Flexural strength and flexural modulus values were statistically analysed and monoclinic phase content was calculated. Weibull analysis was used to evaluate strength reliability and fractographic analysis was conducted. RESULTS Highest flexural strength values were detected at post-sintered no-heat APA and 4W-laser groups (P < 0.05). Pre-sintered groups showed statistically lower flexural strength values. Heat treatment decreased the strength of the specimens. Monoclinic phase content was only detected at post-sintered no-heat groups and the highest amount was detected at APA group. Rougher surfaces and deeper irregularities were detected at FE-SEM images pre-sintered groups. CONCLUSIONS Application of surface treatments at pre-sintered stage may be detrimental for zirconia ceramics in terms of flexural strength. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Treating the surface of zirconia ceramic before sintering process is not recommended due to significant decrease in flexural strength values. 2 W-4 W Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiations can be regarded as alternative surface treatment methods when zirconia restoration would be subjected to veneer ceramic firing procedures.
