Mechanical behavior of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal: Effects of different aging regimens

Composite resin to yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal bonding: comparison of repair methods.

PURPOSE The purpose of the current study was to evaluate different approaches for bonding composite to the surface of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) ceramics. METHODS One hundred Y-TZP blocks were embedded in acrylic resin, had the free surface polished, and were randomly divided into 10 groups (n=10). The tested repair approaches included four surface treatments: t...

Effect of high-temperature aging on the thermal conductivity of nanocrystalline tetragonal yttria-stabilized zirconia

The thermal conductivity of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings increases with high-temperature aging. This common observation has been attributed to the densification of the coatings as porosity sinters out and pores and cracks spheroidize to minimize their surface energy. We show that the thermal conductivity of fully-dense 3 mol.% Y2O3 stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) also in...

Abrasivity of Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals Abrasivity of Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal (Y-TZP) to dental enamel in comparison to Noble White High Palladium alloy

Objectives: To test the wear of enamel against Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (Y-TZP) in comparison to the wear of enamel against a noble white high Palladium alloy. Methods: A total of 20 specimens were used, 10 of Y-TZP and 10 of High Palladium alloy, both were subjected to 202,800 contacts against an enamel rod 2x2 mm in cross section under a mean load of 475.04g leading to a mean f...

Initial Bacterial Adhesion on Different Yttria-Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Implant Surfaces in Vitro

Bacterial adhesion to implant biomaterials constitutes a virulence factor leading to biofilm formation, infection and treatment failure. The aim of this study was to examine the initial bacterial adhesion on different implant materials in vitro. Four implant biomaterials were incubated with Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans for 2 h: 3 mol % yttria-stabilized tetr...
