Objectives: Zirconium oxide based ceramics, in particular<br />

Y-TZP, present positive characteristics as high flexural<br />

strength and fracture toughness (Studart et al. <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>Materials</strong><br />

2006;23:106). Since poor information is available about <strong>the</strong><br />

interfaces <strong>of</strong> Y-TZP and veneering ceramics, <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> this<br />

study was to analyse this interface regarding phase composition<br />

and microstructure.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Sixteen specimens <strong>of</strong> Y-TZP 1 were<br />

sintered following manufacturer’s instructions and divided<br />

into 4 groups (n = 4). The specimens <strong>of</strong> group A were veneered<br />

with a pressable ceramic 2 without a ceramic liner; group B<br />

were liner coated 3 and fired before <strong>the</strong> final veneering; group C<br />

were sandblasted with 30 �m SiO2 4 and <strong>the</strong>n veneered without<br />

application <strong>of</strong> liner; group D were both sandblasted and liner<br />

layered before veneering. The microstructure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> surface<br />

and <strong>the</strong> interfaces between <strong>the</strong> two ceramics were analyzed<br />

by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an<br />

energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS).<br />

Results: The SEM analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> samples showed that<br />

sandblasting zirconia surfaces, before applying <strong>the</strong> veneering<br />

ceramic, drastically changed <strong>the</strong>ir surface microstructure.<br />

For samples <strong>of</strong> groups C and D, several fine silica particles,<br />

from CoJet abrasive, were smeared on <strong>the</strong> zirconia surface.<br />

Different punctual microanalysis, conducted in <strong>the</strong> contact<br />

area <strong>of</strong> zirconia-veneering ceramic <strong>of</strong> group D, presented a<br />

reaction area at <strong>the</strong> interface <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different materials. The<br />

EDS spectrum corresponding to <strong>the</strong> interface area presented<br />

a large amount <strong>of</strong> zirconia and characteristic elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

veneering layer. It is to underline as <strong>the</strong> sandblasting, after<br />

<strong>the</strong> sintering step, as in groups C and D, not only caused a<br />

widespread silica particles smearing <strong>the</strong> surface, but it was<br />

also responsible for a partial zirconia phase transformation<br />

from tetragonal to monoclinic<br />

Conclusions: Sandblast <strong>the</strong> zirconia before veneering,<br />

could be able to give a higher reactivity to <strong>the</strong> zirconia surfaces<br />

with <strong>the</strong> veneering ceramic, increasing, in this way, <strong>the</strong><br />

bonding and <strong>the</strong> mechanical performance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> component.<br />

Objectives: The purpose <strong>of</strong> this study was to evaluate <strong>the</strong><br />

marginal fit and fracture strength <strong>of</strong> four-unit fixed partial<br />

dentures (FDPS) constructed using direct laser sintering.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: A steel model with two abutments,<br />

a first premolar and a second molar was scanned and a framework<br />

designed. 25 Frameworks were produced by metal laser<br />

sintering using CoCrMo-alloy. Cross sections <strong>of</strong> 5 samples<br />

were produced to illustrate <strong>the</strong> microstructure. 10 frameworks<br />

were cemented using zinc phosphate cement, embedded, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>n sectioned buccolingually and mesiodistally. Widths <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> marginal and internal gap were measured using a light<br />

microscope at magnification 40×, 82 measurements for each<br />

framework. 5 samples were positioned on <strong>the</strong> steel model<br />

as delivered after machining without cementation and <strong>the</strong>n<br />

loaded in a universal testing machine; <strong>the</strong> fracture strength<br />

was determined; 5 samples were cemented on <strong>the</strong> metal<br />

model using zinc phosphate cement, sorted in distilled water<br />

at 37 ◦ C for 24 h before testing to failure (CHS = 1 mm/min). The<br />

maximum force was registered.<br />

Results: Cementation significantly (P < 0.05) affected <strong>the</strong><br />

fracture resistance (1677.48 N before and 2210.44 N after).<br />

Mean values <strong>of</strong> marginal fit (87.87 ± 17.27) and internal fit<br />

(126.84 ± 15.37).<br />

Conclusions: The fit <strong>of</strong> tested frameworks was clinically<br />

acceptable, <strong>the</strong> fracture strength increased considerably after<br />

cementation, based on <strong>the</strong> accepted minimum initial strength<br />

<strong>of</strong> 1000 N for posterior FDPS. The results <strong>of</strong> this study show<br />

that <strong>the</strong> laser sintering core material tested can be used for<br />

<strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four-unit posterior FDPS.<br />

Objectives: To characterize by attenuated total reflection<br />

infrared Fourier transform analysis (ATR-FTIR) <strong>the</strong> ceramic<br />

surface after silane application with different dry protocols.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Sixteen ceramic bars<br />

(2 mm × 4mm× 10 mm) <strong>of</strong> VM7 (VITA-Zahnfabrik, Germany)<br />

were prepared and finished to 1 �m alumina paste.<br />

Before silane application, <strong>the</strong> specimens were cleaned in<br />

a distilled water sonic bath for 10 min. Four groups (n =4)<br />

were treated with different silane dry protocols. The silane<br />

3M ESPE SIL (3M/ESPE) was applied to all specimens using<br />

a microbrush and left to dry at 20 ◦ C for 2 min (G20). After<br />

first drying, <strong>the</strong> specimens were submitted to heating at
