“…This is mainly a concern for higher zirconia content ceramics, such as 3Y-TZP and ATZ with 20 wt% of alumina (20%-ATZ). This tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation could also happen during the laser micromachining process, although most literature studies indicated that laser induced phase transformation (LIPT) is negligible for short pulse laser processing (Han et al, 2021b). In this research, the LIPT of 3Y-TZP and 20%-ATZ was measured by confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy with a laser wavelength of 532 nm and an objective of 20×.…”

“…However, there are also limitations to laser processing, including a low material removal rate (MRR), unwanted heat affected layer formation, the generation of thermal cracks (Roitero et al, 2017), and a laser-induced phase transformation (Roitero et al, 2018). A comprehensive review about laser texturing of zirconia-based ceramics for dental applications can be found in a recent paper (Han et al, 2021b).…”

Laser texturing of zirconia-alumina ceramics is a promising surface modification method for many applications, such as enhancing osseointegration of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) dental implants or improving friction behavior of zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) hip replacement bearing components. The common problems in laser texturing of ATZ/ZTA ceramics are thermal cracking, low material removal rate (MRR), and laser-induced phase transformation (LIPT). Furthermore, the compositional variation of those ceramics will complicate these problems. In order to improve the manufacturing processability, ultrashort pulsed laser ablation behavior of ATZ/ZTA composites was investigated in this research. Single phase zirconia and alumina were found to have smaller MRRs than their composites, and this behavior was negatively correlated to the materials single-pulse laser ablation threshold.However, under multi-pulse laser irradiation, the ablation thresholds of all materials saturated to the same level, indicating that single phase materials were more sensitive 2 to the incubation effect than their composites. This led to the MRRs of the single phase materials being reduced at larger scan speeds, while the MRRs of their composites remained independent of scan speed. It was also shown that single phase materials were less susceptible to thermal cracking than their composites under excessive heat accumulation. These results suggest that a lower scan speed is preferred for single phase materials in order to achieve a larger MRR, while a higher scan speed is beneficial for the composites for suppressing thermal cracking without compromising ablation efficiency. In addition, no LIPT was detected for zirconia dominated materials after laser ablation.

“…One of the main restrictions on the use of zirconia was its high difficulty in being superficially treated in order to have a period of rapid osseointegration [ 8 , 14 ]. However, current studies show that this limitation is being overcome with extensive techniques of nanotexturization and functionalization of ZrO 2 -based surfaces [ 8 , 9 , 140 ]. Clinically, the use of implants with a single body requires extreme ability by the professional for a correct three-dimensional positioning without prejudice for subsequent prosthetic manufacture [ 141 ]; technological details that are also being perfected by companies with the manufacture of implants with separate parts [ 142 ].…”

Oral Tissue Interactions and Cellular Response to Zirconia Implant-Prosthetic Components: A Critical Review

Background: Dental components manufactured with zirconia (ZrO2) represent a significant percentage of the implant prosthetic market in dentistry. However, during the last few years, we have observed robust clinical and pre-clinical scientific investigations on zirconia both as a prosthetic and an implantable material. At the same time, we have witnessed consistent technical and manufacturing updates with regards to the applications of zirconia which appear to gradually clarify points which until recently were not well understood. Methods: This critical review evaluated the “state of the art” in relation to applications of this biomaterial in dental components and its interactions with oral tissues. Results: The physico-chemical and structural properties as well as the current surface treatment methodologies for ZrO2 were explored. A critical investigation of the cellular response to this biomaterial was completed and the clinical implications discussed. Finally, surface treatments of ZrO2 demonstrate that excellent osseointegration is possible and provide encouraging prospects for rapid bone adhesion. Furthermore, sophisticated surface treatment techniques and technologies are providing impressive oral soft tissue cell responses thus leading to superior biological seal. Conclusions: Dental devices manufactured from ZrO2 are structurally and chemically stable with biocompatibility levels allowing for safe and long-term function in the oral environment.

“…Lasers offer new approaches to the elaboration of dental materials, such as metals, ceramics and resins that require high energy levels and delicate processing. Many traditional methods were displaced and the management of hard and sensitive materials was facilitated [ 6 , 7 ]. Moreover, the use of ultrafast lasers in dentistry seems promising since they allow surface processing even for very hard ceramics, such as zirconia, with minor structural changes [ 8 ].…”

The Use of Lasers in Dental Materials: A Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lasers have been well integrated in clinical dentistry for the last two decades, providing clinical alternatives in the management of both soft and hard tissues with an expanding use in the field of dental materials. One of their main advantages is that they can deliver very low to very high concentrated power at an exact point on any substrate by all possible means. The aim of this review is to thoroughly analyze the use of lasers in the processing of dental materials and to enlighten the new trends in laser technology focused on dental material management. New approaches for the elaboration of dental materials that require high energy levels and delicate processing, such as metals, ceramics, and resins are provided, while time consuming laboratory procedures, such as cutting restorative materials, welding, and sintering are facilitated. In addition, surface characteristics of titanium alloys and high strength ceramics can be altered. Finally, the potential of lasers to increase the adhesion of zirconia ceramics to different substrates has been tested for all laser devices, including a new ultrafast generation of lasers.
