were pre-treated as recommended by cement manufacturers.<br />
Steel rods were cemented under pressure (20 g/mm 2 )<br />
onto teeth and zirconia discs. After light-curing (lc) following<br />
<strong>the</strong> manufacturers’ instructions, specimens were<br />
stored for 24 h at 37 ◦ C and 100% rel. humidity. SBS was<br />
measured using a universal testing machine (Zwick Z010,<br />
crosshead speed: 0.75 mm/min). Intrinsic discoloration was<br />
tested using lc cement discs (15 mm × 1.5 mm). After storing<br />
in water for 1 month at 36 ◦ C, color <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> discs was<br />
determined with a d/8 ◦ spectro-photometer (Color i7, xrite)<br />
and �E values were calculated. Degree <strong>of</strong> neutralization<br />
was determined by measuring <strong>the</strong> increase <strong>of</strong> pH <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
mixed cement within 24 h (�pH) using pH indicator sticks<br />
(Fisherbrand). ACTA abrasion was measured according to<br />
ISO/TS 14569-2 (200,000 cycles, load 15 N, slip 15%). Data<br />
obtained were analyzed using Multiple Range Test (95%<br />
LSD).<br />

properties compared to all o<strong>the</strong>r cements in this study. Neutralization<br />

Objectives: Kinetics <strong>of</strong> phase transformation <strong>of</strong> partially<br />
stabilized zirconia (TZP) is usually studied through X-ray<br />
diffraction (XRD) or atomic force microscopy (AFM). Those<br />
techniques enable <strong>the</strong> observation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> surface <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sample,<br />
in a grain-size or nm depth, respectively. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore,<br />
XRD permits a quantitative measurement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> transformed<br />
volume. The aim <strong>of</strong> this study is to measure <strong>the</strong> monoclinic<br />
phase amount in 3Y-TZP in relation with depth using Raman<br />
spectroscopy (RS).<br />
<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Two XRD controlled pure tetragonal<br />
samples <strong>of</strong> 3Y-TZP (VITA ® ) were exposed to in vitro aging at<br />
130 ◦ C in Ringer solution under a pressure <strong>of</strong> 6 bar for 0, 25 and<br />
90 h. The monoclinic volume (Vm) was measured using XRD,<br />
following <strong>the</strong> Garvie and Nicholson relations. Deeper measurements<br />
were also performed with Raman spectroscopy,<br />
using an excitation wavelength at 632 nm with a power <strong>of</strong><br />
1 mW (HeNe Laser), coupled with confocal microscope. Objectives<br />
10× and 100× are used to reach spatial resolutions at <strong>the</strong><br />
micrometer scale (around 3 �m and 1 �m, respectively). Confocal<br />
pinhole aperture is gradually enlarged to deepen laser<br />
penetration. According to Clarke and Adar, monoclinic volume<br />
is given by:<br />
Vm =<br />
0.97(I 145<br />
t<br />
I178 m + I189 m<br />
+ I256<br />
t ) + I178 m + I189 m<br />
where It and Im indicate <strong>the</strong> intensities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> peaks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
tetragonal and monoclinic phases with peaks wavenumber in<br />
superscript.<br />

In-depth measurements show a higher and deeper transformation<br />
rate after 90 h, due to water penetration, that was<br />
not detected with XRD.
