Processing and Properties of Zirconia Ceramics for Dental Applications

the effect of mouthwashes on surface hardness of dental ceramics

statement of problem: the effect of different mouthrinses on the surface characteristics of ceramic materials is not documented. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the effect of three mouthrinses, containing either alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or fluoride, on microhardness of two dental ceramics, (duceram love, ips e.max ceram). materials and methods: eighty cylindrical disks were...

Effect of Acidic Agents on Surface Roughness of Dental Ceramics

BACKGROUND An increase in surface roughness of ceramics may decrease strength and affect the clinical success of ceramic restorations. However, little is known about the effect of acidic agents on ceramic restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness of dental ceramics after being immersed in acidic agents. METHODS Eighty-three ceramic disk specimens (12.0 mm in di...
