This article presents a literature review on the resin bond to zirconia ceramic. Modern esthetic dentistry has highly recognized zirconia, among other ceramic materials. Biocompatibility of zirconia, chemical and dimensional stability, excellent mechanical properties, all together could guarantee optimal therapeutical results in complex prosthodontic reconstruction. On the other hand, low therm...

AIM The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess and compare the retention of zirconia copings luted with different luting agents onto zirconia and titanium abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Titanium and zirconia abutments were torqued at 35 N/cm onto implant analogs. The samples were divided into two groups: Group A consisted of four titanium abutments and 32 zirconia copings and Group B ...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare the shear bond strength between orthodontic metal brackets and glazed zirconia using different types of primer before applying resin cement and to determine which primer was more effective. METHODS Zirconia blocks were milled and embedded in acrylic resin and randomly assigned to one of four groups: nonglazed zirconia with sandblasting and zirc...

The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the published data concerning zirconia dental implants from various aspects. To identify relevant literature an electronic search was performed of PubMed. Titles and abstracts were screened and articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected for a full-text reading. Articles were divided into four groups: 1) studies evaluating th...

Electrically conductive zirconia tungsten carbide composites are attractive materials for manufacturing precision components by electrical discharge machining due to their high strength, toughness and conductivity. In this study, nanocomposite ceramics with a ytterbia samaria co-stabilized 1.5Yb-1.5Sm-TZP matrix 24–32 vol.% dispersion were manufactured spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1400 °C 15...

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the early clinical outcome of slip-cast glass-infiltrated Alumina/Zirconia and CAD/CAM Zirconia all-ceramic crowns. A total of 30 InCeram Zirconia and Cercon Zirconia crowns were fabricated and cemented with a glass ionomer cement in 20 patients. At baseline, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year recall appointments, Californian Dental A...

Zirconia has been recently introduced in prosthetic dentistry for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures, in combination with CAD/CAM techniques. Zirconia stabilized with Y2O3 has the best properties for these applications. This project aims at producing cast Zirconia blocks primarily for dental application that is more cost effective and biocompatible in comparison to the commerc...

An yttria stabilised zirconia which exhibits a coreshell microstructure was investigated as a method to produce a zirconia with high ionic conductivity and improved thermal shock resistance. Zirconia grains consist of an outer shell of tetragonal zirconia with an inner core of monoclinic phase zirconia. Impedance spectroscopy was used to identify the e€ect of processing conditions on the grain ...
