Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the effect of metal elements in the coloring liquids used in the infiltration method on the physical properties of zirconia.
Methods: Two types of zirconia discs 5Y-PSZ (SHOFU Disc ZR Lucent FA, SHOFU, Kyoto, Japan) were used: with monolayer shades from W2 to W3 (Pearl White) and 5Y-PSZ with multilayer shades from A3 to A4 (L). Five kinds of coloring liquid were used to infiltrate into semi-sintered Pearl White (T-glass [CT], A4 [CA], White-Opaque [CW], Gingiva 1 [CG], and Blue X [CB]). In addition, uncolored Pearl White set to as the control (C). These specimens were analyzed using a three-point bending test (3PBT), and the fracture surface after the test was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and crystal structure analysis. In addition, from the polished surface part of the after the 3PBT specimens, the elemental composition was analyzed using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF).
Results: The flexural strength of CB and CG were lower than that of C (p < 0.05). XRF results showed that the Erbium (Er) content of CG was significantly greater than that of C (p < 0.05). CB exhibited a significantly higher Yttrium (Y) content compared with C (p < 0.05), and numerous pores were observed in the micrographs of the fracture surface of CG and CB.
Significance: In zirconia, where the content of Y and Er was significantly increased by infiltration with a coloring liquid, pores were observed between the zirconia crystals, and the mechanical strength decreased.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials publishes original research, review articles, and short communications.
Academy of Dental Materials members click here to register for free access to Dental Materials online.
The principal aim of Dental Materials is to promote rapid communication of scientific information between academia, industry, and the dental practitioner. Original Manuscripts on clinical and laboratory research of basic and applied character which focus on the properties or performance of dental materials or the reaction of host tissues to materials are given priority publication. Other acceptable topics include application technology in clinical dentistry and dental laboratory technology.
Comprehensive reviews and editorial commentaries on pertinent subjects will be considered.
