The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture resistance of all-ceramic crowns with a core of a zirconia ceramic, using various stabilizing oxides and luted on a preparation with a slice-formed finishing line. Ten cores made of HIPed yttrium-oxide partially stabilized zirconia (HIPed Y-TZP) and five cores of densely-sintered magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) were made. The Mg-PSZ cores and five of the HIPed Y-TZP cores were made with a thickness of 0.2 mm. A further five cores 0.1-mm thick were made of HIPed Y-TZP. All 15 cores were then veneered with a feldspar ceramic and luted onto a stylized steel master die model with a slice-formed finishing line. The specimens were then loaded until fracture occurred. The HIPed Y-TZP specimens with the 0.2 mm core exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance than the Mg-PSZ specimens (P = 0.004) and the HIPed Y-TZP specimens with the 0.1 mm core (P = 0.001). The fracture resistance of the Mg-PSZ specimens was significantly (P = 0.015) higher than that of the HIPed Y-TZP specimens with the 0.1 mm core. The fracture resistance determined was equal or superior to reported values for bite forces and all-ceramic crowns. Thus, it seems likely that the type of restorations evaluated have the potential for successful use on a slice-formed preparation. However, long-term studies are essential in order to assess the performance of this ceramic system in a clinical context.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
