Objectives: To determine the combined effect of fatigue cyclic loading and thermocycling (CLTC) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin cement to zirconia surfaces that were previously air-abraded with aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) particles at different pressures. Materials and Methods: Seventy-two cuboid zirconia specimens were prepared and randomly assigned to 3 groups according to the air-abrasion pressures (1, 2, and 2.8 bar), and each group was further divided into 2 groups depending on aging parameters (n = 12). Panavia F 2.0 was placed on pre-conditioned zirconia surfaces, and SBS testing was performed either after 24 hours or 10,000 fatigue cycles (cyclic loading) and 5,000 thermocycles. Non-contact profilometry was used to measure surface roughness. Failure modes were evaluated under optical and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and ${\chi}^2$ tests (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: The 2.8 bar group showed significantly higher surface roughness compared to the 1 bar group (p < 0.05). The interaction between pressure and time/cycling was not significant on SBS, and pressure did not have a significant effect either. SBS was significantly higher (p = 0.006) for 24 hours storage compared to CLTC. The 2 bar-CLTC group presented significantly higher percentage of pre-test failure during fatigue compared to the other groups. Mixed-failure mode was more frequent than adhesive failure. Conclusions: CLTC significantly decreased the SBS values regardless of the air-abrasion pressure used.

이전 단일 구조 지르코니아는 색조의 단조로움 등 심미성의 문제로 전치부 사용에서 어려움이 있었다. 이에 전치부 증례의 지르코니아는 코핑으로만 주로 이용되어 최종보철물은 추가적인 도재 피개가 필요했었다. 이에 따라 도재 파절 등의 문제가 존재하였으나 점차 단일 구조 지르코니아 자체의 투과도와 색조가 개선되어 도재 피개 없이도 사용이 가능해졌다. 본 증례는 63세 남성환자로 단일 구조 지르코니아를 이용하여 전악 보철 수복을 시행해 기능적으로나 심미적으로 만족스러운 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

용융침투법으로 알루미나/지르코니아-유리 복합체를 제조하여 지르코니아 첨가가 복합체의 기계적 및 광학적 특성과 유리 침투 kinetic에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유리 침투시간이 증가할수록 침투깊이는 Washburn식에 의한 포물선관계로 증가하였으며 침투 상수인 K는 기공 크기의 함수로 지르코니아 첨가량이 증가할수록 기공 크기의 감소로 감소하였다. 지르코니아 양이 증가함에 따라 명도($L^*$)는 증가하지만 유리 침투 상수(K), 투과율(transmittance), 채도($C^*$)가 감소하였다. 지르코니아가 15 wt% 첨가될 때까지 알루미나/지르코니아-유리 복합체의 인성값 증가를 보였지만 기공률의 증가로 인하여 기계적 특성 향상에는 크게 기여하지 않았다.

CAD/CAM이 치과계에 도입된지도 벌써 꽤 많은 시간이 흘렀음에도 불구하고 현재의 CAD/CAM은 여전히 비효율적이거나 또는 비심미적이다. '효율성' 과 '심미성'이란 두 단어는 지르코이나 보철물에 있어서는 양극에 위치하게 된다. 효율적이기 위해 도재소성없이 monolithic한 지르코니아 보철물을 만들다 보면 비심미적인 경우가 대부분이고, 거꾸로 심미적이기 위해 도재소성 과정을 거치다보면 여전히 사람의 손을 타게되는 비효율성을 피할 수 없기 때문이다. 이 글에서는 지르코니아 보철물의 현주소와 이와 관련된 몇가지 증례들을 보여드리고자 한다.

단일 구조 지르코니아는 높은 강도와 파괴 인성을 갖고 있어 고정성 보철 치료에 많이 활용되고 있으나 지르코니아 자체의 불투과성으로 인한 심미적인 한계 때문에 전치부 사용에서 어려움이 있었다. 최근에는 기존 단일 구조 지르코니아보다 투과성이 우수하며, 다양한 착색법을 이용하여 심미성을 개선한 지르코니아 블록들이 개발되고 있다. 3M $Lava^{TM}$ Esthetic 지르코니아는 제조사에 따르면 육방정계 결정상의 비율을 증가시키고 형광성 성분을 추가하여 기존 지르코니아보다 심미성이 우수하다고 소개되고 있다. 본 증례들에서는 심미성을 개선한 단일 구조 지르코니아를 이용하여 전치부를 수복하였으며 기능적, 심미적으로 만족한 결과를 얻었기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: The aims of this study were to compare the shear bond strength between orthodontic metal brackets and glazed zirconia using different types of primer before applying resin cement and to determine which primer was more effective. Methods: Zirconia blocks were milled and embedded in acrylic resin and randomly assigned to one of four groups: nonglazed zirconia with sandblasting and zirconia primer (NZ); glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, and zirconia primer (GZ); glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, and porcelain primer (GP); and glazed zirconia with sandblasting, etching, zirconia primer, and porcelain primer (GZP). A stainless steel metal bracket was bonded to each target surface with resin cement, and all specimens underwent thermal cycling. The shear bond strength of the specimens was measured by a universal testing machine. A scanning electron microscope, three-dimensional optical surface-profiler, and stereoscopic microscope were used to image the zirconia surfaces. The data were analyzed with one-way analyses of variance and the Fisher exact test. Results: Group GZ showed significantly lower shear bond strength than did the other groups. No statistically significant differences were found among groups NZ, GP, and GZP. All specimens in group GZ showed adhesive failure between the zirconia and resin cement. In groups NZ and GP, bonding failed at the interface between the resin cement and bracket base or showed complex adhesive and cohesive failure. Conclusions: Porcelain primer is the more appropriate choice for bonding a metal bracket to the surface of a full-contour glazed zirconia crown with resin cement.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess and compare the marginal fit of ceramic-based hybrid resin restoration (HYB) and zirconia restoration (ZIR) for dental computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing systems. Methods: A stainless steel master model was produced. The impression was first made with silicone, and then stone working models were produced. A total of twenty restorations were fabricated with two different materials: ZIR and HYB. The silicone film thickness of the marginal gap was measured using a digital microscope; digital photos were taken at a magnification of ×160, and then analyzed using a measurement software. The values of the result were evaluated with the independent-sample t-test (α=0.05). All statistical analyses were performed with a statistical software. Results: The mean values for the marginal gap was 37.14±2.96 ㎛ for HYB, compared with 40.37±5.26 ㎛ for ZIR. No significant difference was found between ZIR and HYB (p=0.107). Conclusion: As a result, the marginal fit of the restoration fabricated using the hybrid resin was better than that of the restoration fabricated using zirconia. Also, the marginal fit of all groups was below the clinical acceptable range of 120 ㎛. Thus, HYB for dental CAD/CAM system in this study is expected to be suitable for clinical use in dentistry.

Statement of the problem. All-ceramic post-and-core restorations offer a number of advantages compared with systems that use metal build-ups. In certain clinical cases, however, fractures at the joint between the post and core build-up have been reported. Purpose. The objective, therefore, is to improve the joint between the post and the core build-up. Material and methods. Three different methods were used to prepare all-ceramic post-and-core restorations; pressing IPS Empress core build-ups to CosmoPost zirconia posts, cement-ing IPS Empress core build-ups to CosmoPost zirconia posts and Celay-milling of zirconia blanks. A series of ten restorations was prepared for each of the three methods. The post-and-core complexes were tested to failure with the load applied perpendicular to the post axis. The load and deflection at fracture were recorded. Results. The highest breaking load and highest deflection were recorded for the cementing technique with values of 25.3 N and $394{\mu}m$, respectively, The corresponding values for the pressed core build-ups and the milled zirconia core build-ups were 22 N and $301{\mu}m$, and 13 N and $160{\mu}m$, respectively. All the differences are statistically significant (p=0.05). Regarding the load-dependence of the deflection, the cemented core build-ups again demonstrated the highest value with $15.5{\mu}m/N$. The difference in the values of $13.6{\mu}m/N\;and\;13{\mu}m/N$ recorded for the pressed-on and milled core build-ups, respectively, were statistically insignificant. Conclusion. In regard to the high fracture resistance of zirconia post, adhesive cementing the core build-up to the post offers a viable alternative to the conventional pressing technique. The elastic bond between the rigid high-strength zirconia post and the core build-up presents an additional advantage.

Purpose: To investigate shear bonding strength between dental zirconia ceramics with different surface treatment and metal bracket. Methods: Zirconia ceramics(LAVA, 3M ESPE, USA) were divided to 4 groups according to their surface treatment; no surface treatment(G1), sand blasting(G2), silane coating(G3), and sand blasting+silane coating(G4). Specimens were bonded to metal bracket using resin bond($Transbond^{TM}XT$, 3M Unitek, USA). Shear bond strength was measured using universal test machine(3366 INSTRON. U.S.A) with cross head speed of 1 mm/min. Microstructural investigation for fracture surface was performed after shear test. Results: Shear bonding strengths of single surface treatment groups (G2 and G3) were higher than no treatment group(G1). Combined Treatment Group (G4) showed the highest shear bond strength of 9.15MPa. Microstructural observation shows that higher shear bonding strength was obtained when debonding was occurred at metal bracket/resin interface rather than zirconia ceramic/resin interface. Conclusion: Surface treatment of zirconia is necessary to obtain higher bonding strength. Combined treatment can be more effective when surface the surfaces are kept clean and homogeneous.

The green and hard machining characteristics of dental ceramics are of great interest to dental industry. The green bodies of TZP/$Al_2O_3$ composites were prepared by the cold isostatic pressing, and machined on the CNC lathe using PCD (polycrystalline diamond) insert under various machining conditions. With increasing nose radius of PCD insert, surface roughness initially increased due to increased cutting resistance, but decreased by the onset of sliding fracture. The lowest surface roughness was obtained at spindle speed of 1,300 rpm and lowest feed rate. Hard bodies were prepared by pressureless sintering the machined green bodies at several temperatures. The grinding test for sintered hard body was conducted using electroplated diamond bur with different grit sizes. During grinding, grain pull out in the composite was occurred due to thermal expansion mismatch between the alumina and zirconia. The strength of the composite decreased with alumina contents, due to increased surface roughness and high monoclinic phase transformed during grinding process. The final polished samples represented high strength by the elimination of a phase transformation layer.
