Abstract
Studies have reported challenges of debonding of dental zirconia crowns to from luting cement and prepared teeth. The aim of the study was to explore the application of dental glazing systems for enhancing the bonding of zirconia dental ceramics to luting resin cement. Commercial glaze powder and liquid (Vita Akzent) and experimental mica-based glaze powders were used for the study. X-ray diffraction analysis of the glaze powders (XRD) and Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy (FTIR) was done on the glaze liquid. Sandblasted sintered dental zirconia (Katana, Noritake) were the control samples. Glazed zirconia samples were coated with commercial glaze and experimental glaze powders which were further etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid. Shear bond strengths of sandblasted and glazed zirconia samples to resin composites were evaluated. XRD of commercial and experimental glaze powders revealed a broad peak confirming the amorphous nature of glass and FTIR analysis of the glaze liquid revealed symmetrical stretching (CH2-CH3) of the alcohol group indicating a mixture of iso-butane and ethanol. Glazed and etched zirconia showed significantly higher shear bond strength to resin cement compared to sand-blasted zirconia. The study confirms the glassy nature of dental glaze powders and the presence of ethanol-based mixtures in the commercial glaze liquid. Glazing systems have the potential to be explored for enhancing the bonding of non-etchable zirconia ceramics to resin cement and tooth substrates.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of thermocycling on shear bond strength (SBS) of several resin cement materials to different types of zirconia dental ceramics. Materials and Methods 120 square shaped disc specimens were fabricated using two types of zirconia blocks (Sagemax and Sirona). Each zirconia group was divided into three sub-groups based on the resin cement bonded to the specimens. Three different self-adhesive resin cements were used (Calibra, Breeze and RelyX). The specimens were further grouped into experimental and control groups (n = 10). The experimental specimens were exposed to a thermo-cycling protocol of 1500 cycles in water bath at 5c and 55c. Specimens were then stored at 37c for 24 h then all specimens underwent SBS test with an Instron machine. Mode of failure was inspected visually and microscopically. Data were statistically analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance followed by one-way analysis of variance, Tukey's multiple comparison test, student's t-test for independent samples were used to compare the mean values of SBS in relation to the categorical study variables. Results The mean SBS values of experimental groups were significantly lower than control groups for all the 6 combinations of Zirconia and cement types (p < 0.0001). The higher mean difference (14.29 MPa) was observed in the combination of Sagemax and Rely-X. Rely-X displayed the highest SBS among all the cements while no significant difference was found in mean SBS values of Calibra and Breez cements in all groups. The mean SBS values of Sagemax zirconia were significantly higher than the Sirona with all three types of cements (p < 0.0001) within control groups. Microscopic and visual analysis demonstrated a majority of adhesive mode of failure. Conclusion Thermocycling significantly reduced the SBS between the zirconia materials and self-adhesive resin cements tested. The amount of reduction varies according to cement and zirconia types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study microstructure, friction and wear behaviors of silicon-lithium spray coating on the surface of zirconia ceramics and to preliminarily evaluate its esthetic so as to provide support and guidance for the clinical application. METHODS Zirconia ceramic specimens were randomly divided into three groups: coating group (two subgroups), polishing group (two subgroups), and glazing group (four subgroups), with 10 samples in each subgroup. The two subgroups of coating group were the zirconia ceramics with the untreated and preliminary polishing surfaces sprayed with silicon-lithium coating, respectively. The two subgroups of polishing group were preliminary polishing and fine polishing of zirconia ceramics, respectively. The four subgroups of glazing group were preliminarily polished zirconia ceramics glazed with Biomic and Stain/Glaze products, respectively; and untreated zirconia ceramics glazed with Biomic and Stain/Glaze products, respectively. The above 8 subgroups of zirconia ceramic specimens were used as friction pairs with 80 steatite ceramics for 50 000 chewing cycles under 50 N vertical load and artificial saliva lubrication using chewing simulation. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the microstructure of the surface and section of the coating group, and the thickness of the coating and glazing were measured. The linear roughness of the coating and polishing groups was mea-sured using a laser confocal scanning microscope. Vickers hardness was measured using a microhardness tester and the esthetic of zirconia ceramic full crown sprayed with silicon-lithium coating was preliminarily evaluated. White light interferometer was used to measure the width, the maximum depth and the volume of the wear scars of each group, and the wear depth of steatite ceramics and wear rate of zirconia ceramic specimens were calculated. Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test and Dunn's multiple comparisons test were used to analyze the wear depth of each group (α=0.05). RESULTS The microstructures of the silica-lithium spray coatings on the untreated and preliminarily polished zirconia ceramic surfaces showed the protruding defects, and the line roughness of coating group was larger than that of the polishing group. The median thickness of the silica-lithium spray coating on the preliminarily polished zirconia ceramic was 13.0 μm (interquartile range, IQR: 11.6, 17.9), while that of the silica-lithium spray coating on the untreated zirconia ceramic was 4.4 μm (IQR: 4.1, 4.7). The Vickers hardness and wear rate of the coating group were between the polishing group and the glazing group. The wear depths of the wear scars of steatite ceramics were the glazing group, coating group, and polishing group in descending order, and there was statistically significant difference between glazing and polishing groups (P < 0.05). With the increase of polishing procedure, the wear depth of steatite ceramics decreased in each subgroups. The orders of maximum depth and volume of wear scars of zirconia ceramic were the glazing group, coating group, and polishing group in descending order, and there was statistically significant difference in the maximum depth of wear scars between glazing and polishing groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The silica-lithium spray coating on the zirconia ceramic, can be used as a new method for zirconia ceramic surface treatment, because it can increase the esthetic of zirconia ceramics compared with polishing and reduce the wear of steatite ceramics compared with glazing.

Abstract
Background/purpose The efficient rapid sintering technique has employed to dental zirconia ceramics for shortening the fabrication time of zirconia restorations. The purpose was to compare the optical properties of two generations of rapid sintered translucent zirconia using two dental colorimeters. Materials and methods Two generations of translucent zirconia ceramics, 3 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP): Copran Zr-i Ultra-T (UT) and Cercon HT (HT), and 5 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (5Y-TZP): Cercon xt (XT), of different thicknesses (0.5, 0.8, and 1.2 mm; n = 5) underwent rapid sintering (RS) or conventional sintering (CS). The CIELAB values were measured on the white and black backgrounds, respectively, by digital colorimeters, shadepilot, DeguDent (DD) and Easyshade V, Vita (Vita). Translucency parameter (TP), color difference (ΔE), surface morphology, and surface roughness were evaluated. Results RS resulted in reduced lightness, except in the XT group. The chromaticity increased slightly after RS. Translucency decreased with increasing material thickness. ΔE values differed between both sintering processes but were clinically acceptable (ΔE < 5). Grain size of XT decreased after RS. RS did not affect the surface roughness. Conclusion RS is a feasible method for shortening the manufacturing time of zirconia restorations. A significant difference in TP value was only in the XT group between both sintering methods as measured on DD. Color differences in rapid sintered translucent zirconia materials are imperceptible and acceptable. The specimen thickness affected more in the TP values of Vita than DD. DD has higher sensitivity to translucency and color compared with Vita.

Abstract
Sintering is a comprehensive process that involves the complex evolution of material microstructures and properties, being recognized as a critical factor to improve the machinability of ceramics. The present work aims to address the evolution of the material removal mechanisms of the 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) during the sintering process based on the micro scratching tests. The impacts of sintering temperatures on the material removal behaviors, including scratching forces, scratch morphologies, specific scratching energies, and critical transition depths, were rigorously studied. The acquired results indicate that the intergranular bonding strength is a critical factor that determinines the material removal mechanisms of 3Y-TZP, and 1100 °C signifies the transition threshold for the material removal mode. After 1100 °C, the material removal mechanism has gradually converted into the typical ductile-brittle removal regime. Moreover, the critical depth in ductile regime at 1200 °C is about 1.89 times that at 1500 °C, and the critical depth of ductile-brittle transition at 1200 °C is approximately 2.08 times that at 1500 °C.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In vivo aging of biomedical grade 3Y-TZP ceramics in the oral environment was assessed and compared to artificially accelerated in vitro hydrothermal aging extrapolations at 37°C. METHODS 88 discs were pressed and sintered (1450-1500°C) from two commercial 3Y-TZP compositions containing 0.25% Al2O3 to generate finer- and coarser-grained specimens. As-sintered (AS) and airborne-particle abraded (APA; 50μm Al2O3) surfaces were investigated. In vivo aging was performed by incorporating specimens in lingual flanges of complete dentures of 12 edentulous volunteers who wore them continuously for up to 24 months. For comparison, in vitro hydrothermal aging at 134°C was also performed and analysed by XRD and (FIB)-SEM. Data was statistically analysed with linear regression models. RESULTS Finer and coarser-grained specimens exhibited statistically insignificant differences in aging in vivo. The monoclinic fraction (Xm) on AS surfaces abruptly increased to ∼8% after 6 months. The aging process then proceeded with slower linear kinetics (∼0.24%/month). After 24 months, Xm reached ∼12%. The calculated maximum transformed layer was 0.385μm representing one layer of transformed grains. APA surfaces were highly aging resistant. The initial Xm of ∼4.0% linearly increased by 0.03%/month in vivo. In vitro aging exhibited an initial induction period, followed by linear aging kinetics. Coarser-grained AS surfaces aged significantly faster than fine-grained (2.41%/h compared to 2.16%/h). APA discs aged at a rate of 0.3%/h in vitro. Microcracking within a single grain and pull-out of grain clusters were observed on aged AS surfaces. SIGNIFICANCE Biomedical grade 3Y-TZP was susceptible to in vivo aging. After 2 years in vivo, the aging kinetics were almost 3-times faster than the generally accepted in vitro-in vivo extrapolation.

Abstract
Background The abrasion behavior of various ceramics is rarely investigated, though it is relevant for the clinical success of such restorations. The aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the wear of feldspathic-ceramic-veneered zirconium oxide frameworks over a period of at least 10 years. Methods The abrasion behavior of 15 bridge constructions from 15 different participants was examined after a period of 3, 5, and 10 years using plaster models, which were then subjected to a scanning process on the Atos II industrial scanner and digitized for three-dimensional evaluation of the abrasion by the corresponding software (ATOS Professional 7.6). The individual post-examination models were compared to the baseline model and deviations calculated in the sense of the largest, punctual loss of material in millimeters (“minimal distance”), the average abrasion in millimeters (“mean distance”), and the volume decrease in cubic millimeters (“integrated distance”). Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon sign rank test or mixed regression models. Multiple testing was considered by Benjamini-Hochberg correction. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results We found steadily increasing wear of the ceramic. The average volume decrease was significant (P < 0.001) at 3 years and 10 years (− 3.25 mm3 and − 8.11 mm3, respectively). Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the rate of volume loss in feldspathic-ceramic-veneered zirconia frameworks in the posterior region increases significantly over time. An increasing frequency of parameters was observed, particularly in the second half of the study period. However, the use of this class of materials can be considered clinically acceptable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the impact of zirconia pretreatment and aging on flexural strength and phase structure. METHODS For flexural strength measurements, 180 3Y-TZP0.25 specimens were fabricated and pretreated: (i) air-abraded (105-μm alumina, 0.25MPa), (ii) air-abraded (50-μm alumina, 0.25MPa), (iii) air-abraded (30-μm silica-coated alumina, 0.28MPa) (iv) non-pretreated. Each pretreated group (n=15) was aged: (a) hydrothermal (134°C, 0.23MPa, 2h) (b) in a mastication simulator (1,200,000×, 5/55°C) and (c) not aged. The fractured specimens were stored dry for 5 years (23°C) for analysis of phase transformation. Additionally, specimens were fabricated from 3Y-TZP0.25 (n=12) and 3Y-TZP0.05 (n=8), pretreated (i, ii, iii, iv), and hydrothermally aged. Each air-abrasion method was alternated using 0.05, 0.25 and 0.4MPa pressure. The phase transformation was examined by Raman spectroscopy and surface topography by scanning electron microscope. Data were analyzed using univariate ANOVA with the Scheffé post hoc test and partial-eta-squared (ƞp²) (α=0.05). RESULTS The highest impact on flexural strength was exerted by the pretreatment (ηP²=0.261, p<0.001), followed by interactions between pretreatment and aging (ηP²=0.077, p=0.033). Non-pretreated and non-aged specimens showed the lowest monoclinic percentage. Hydrothermal aging and 5 years of storage at room temperature increased the monolithic percentage of 3Y-TZP0.25. The highest phase transformation was observed in groups air-abraded with 105-μm alumina particles. Increasing pressure during the air-abrading process increased the content of the monoclinic phase in zirconia surfaces. SIGNIFICANCE Air-abrasion with 30-μm silica-coated alumina powder can be recommended for pretreatment of 3Y-TZP0.25 and 3Y-TZP0.05. For air-abrasion using alumina powder lower pressure should be used.

Abstract
The effects of contamination and cleaning methods on bonding of self-adhesive resin cement to zirconia ceramics were examined. Airborne particle-abraded zirconia (Zpex Smile) specimens were divided into the following four groups: control (con), contaminated with saliva and cleaned with tap water (HS), cleaned with Ivoclean (IC), and cleaned with Multi Etchant (ME). The pretreated specimens were bonded using three self-adhesive resin cements, and tensile bond strengths were measured using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 2 mm/min. Con and IC groups showed significantly higher bond strength than those of HS and ME groups. Separately, the surface chemical composition of the groups was determined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS revealed that the N/Zr ratio increased in the HS group but decreased in the IC and ME groups. Cleaning agents can improve the adverse effect of saliva contamination on zirconia, but this effect varies depending on the product.

Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, the use of ceramic base zirconia is considered in dentistry for all ceramic restorations because of its chemical stability, biocompatibility, and good compressive as well as flexural strength. However, due to its chemical stability, there is a challenge with dental bonding. Several studies have been done to improve zirconia bonding but they are not reliable. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of plasma treatment on bonding strength of zirconia. Methods: In this in vitro study, 180 zirconia discs' (thickness was 0.85-0.9 mm) surfaces were processed with plasma of oxygen, argon, air and oxygen-argon combination with 90-10 and 80-20 ratio (n=30 for each group) after being polished by sandblast. Surface modifications were assessed by measuring the contact angle, surface roughness, and topographical evaluations. Cylindrical Panavia f2 resin-cement and Diafill were used for microshear strength bond measurements. The data analysis was performed by SPSS 20.0 software and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test as the post hoc. Results: Plasma treatment in all groups significantly reduces contact angle compare with control (P=0.001). Topographic evaluations revealed coarseness promotion occurred in all plasma treated groups which was significant when compared to control (P<0.05), except argon plasma treated group that significantly decreased surface roughness (P<0.05). In all treated groups, microshear bond strength increased, except oxygen treated plasma group which decreased this strength. Air and argon-oxygen combination (both groups) significantly increased microshear bond strength (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to this research, plasmatic processing with dielectric barrier method in atmospheric pressure can increase zirconia bonding strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Yttrium-stabilized zirconia is susceptible to low temperature degradation after interaction with water. Various mechanisms by which water molecules destabilize the tetragonal phase have been proposed, while the concept of yttrium depletion by the incorporation of hydroxyl ions in the crystalline structure either through the formation of YOH/ZrOH bonds or small α-Y(OH)3 crystallites, is prevailing. The present study was performed to investigate the surface alterations on a 3Y-TZP dental ceramic during the process of in-vitro aging and to further explore the yttrium depletion mechanism that occurs upon interaction with water. METHODS Surface structural changes of zirconia specimens where investigated before and after in-vitro aging with X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS High luminescence generated from the non-aged specimen was explained by the high amount of oxygen vacancies. The phase transformation from the t-ZrO2 to the m-ZrO2 phase after aging was accompanied by a significant loss of yttrium, a clear decrease of oxygen vacancies and a profound decrease of luminescence. Surface oxygen vacancies either migrated into the inner of the specimens or/and/engaged oxygen from the ZrO2 and formed the metallic phase of Y2O3 on the surface after aging. SIGNIFICANCE An "ideal" amount of oxygen vacancies that could stabilize the tetragonal phase in Y-TZP zirconia ceramics, without compromising esthetics and LTD resistance, is still a matter of further research and different susceptibilities to LTD among various dental zirconia ceramics are based on the amount of oxygen vacancies that can be annihilated by water molecules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dental zirconia restorations should present long-term clinical survival and be in service within the oral environment for many years. However, low temperature degradation could affect their mechanical properties and survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of in vitro aging on the flexural strength of yttrium-stabilized (Y-TZP) zirconia ceramics for ceramic restorations. METHODS One hundred twenty bar-shaped specimens were prepared from two ceramics (ZENO Zr (WI) and IPS e.max(®) ZirCAD (IV)), and loaded until fracture according to ISO 6872. The specimens from each ceramic (nx=60) were divided in three groups (control, aged for 5h, aged for 10h). One-way ANOVA was used to assess statistically significant differences among flexural strength values (P<0.05). The variability of the flexural strength values was analyzed using the two-parameter Weibull distribution function, which was applied for the estimation of Weibull modulus (m) and characteristic strength (σ0). The crystalline phase polymorphs of the materials (tetragonal, t, and monoclinic, m, zirconia) were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. RESULTS A slight increase of the flexural strength after 5h, and a decrease after 10h of aging, was recorded for both ceramics, however statistically significant was for the WI group (P<0.05). Both ceramics presented a t→m phase transformation, with the m-phase increasing from 4 to 5% at 5h to around 15% after 10h. SIGNIFICANCE The significant reduction of the flexural strength after 10h of in vitro aging, suggests high fracture probability for one of the zirconia ceramics tested.
