33
Q

What phase of Zirconia does it mill in?

A

Monoclinic

34
Q

Through what process at 1170 C shift Zirconia from Monoclinic to Tetragonal?

A

Sintering

35
Q

What percent shrinkage does the sintering process cause?

A

20%

36
Q

What is the strongest phase or Zirconia?

What isn’t good about this phase?

A

Tetragonal is the strongest phase

VERY Opaque

37
Q

What causes Zirconia to be “metastable” after cooling from the sintering process?

A

Ytria in between crystals allows the Zirconia to stay in the Tetragonal phase

38
Q

What does chewing/wear and tear/cyclic loading do to Tetragonal Zirconia?

A

Induces tiny surface cracks - causes energy in crack to shift from tetragonal to monoclinic - which is bigger - expands 4% - not clinically detectable…talking microns

39
Q

What is transformation toughening?

A

Yes!

In some cases, the tetragonal phase can be metastable. If sufficient quantities of the metastable tetragonal phase is present, then an applied stress, magnified by the stress concentration at a crack tip, CAN CAUSE THE TETRAGONAL PHASE TO CONVERT TO MONOCLINC, WITH THE ASSOCIATED VOLUME EXPANSION (4%).

This phase transformation can then put the crack into compression, retarding its growth, AND ENHANCING THE FRACTURE TOUGHNESS

The mechanism is known as transformation toughening, and significantly extends the reliability and lifetime of products made with stabilized zirconia.

As a result, COMPRESSIVE STRESS ARE GENERATED around the crack tips.

Note that stress are higher near cracks. Consequently, the transformation takes place around cracks. The transformed material (monoclinic crystal) is SQUEEZED by the non-transformed crystal (tetragonal) that is farther from the crack.

40
Q

What is the minimum strength in MPa for an Inlay, Onlay or Veneer?

A

50 MPa

41
Q

What is the minimum strength requirement in MPa for an Adhesively Cemented Single Crown?

A

100 Mpa

42
Q

What is the minimum strength requirement for a single crown in MPa?

A

300 MPa

43
Q

What is the minimum strength requirement for an Anterior FDP?

A

300 MPa

44
Q

What is the minimum strength requirement for a 3 unit posterior FDP?

A

500 MPa

45
Q

What is the minimum strength requirement for a long span FDP?

A

800 MPa

46
Q

What is the good and bad with PFMs?

A

Opacity of metal coping used in metal-ceramic restorations limits their ability to mimic the natural tooth. Good mechanical properties though.

47
Q

What is the good and bad with high strength crystalline ceramics?

A
  • Higher strength ceramics are predominantly crystalline
  • More opaque
  • As a result, they are often used as a framework in a bilayer restoration with a feldspathic porcelain veneer
48
Q

Which has least to greatest flexural strength? Feldspathic, Glass-ceramics, Zirconia?

A

Greatest: Zirconia

Middle: Glass Ceramics

Lowest: Feldspathic porcelain

49
Q

What has the best translucency? Feldspathic, Glass-ceramics, Zirconia?

A

Best: Feldspathic

Middle: Glass Ceramics

Lowest: Zirconia

50
Q

What are the 3 phases of zirconia?

A
  1. Monoclinic
  2. Tetragonal
  3. Cubic

A common form in dentistry is yttria - stabilized zirconia, in which the tetragonal phase is stabilized at room temperature by adding yttria.

51
Q

What are indications for Framework Zirconia?

A
  • Multi unit FDP anterior and posterior

- Alternative to PFM and full metal restorations

52
Q

What makes framework zirconia opaque?

A

High alumina content (0.25%)

Relative to Full-Contour and Cubic Zirconia which has Alumina content of 0.05%

53
Q

How do you make framework zirconia more esthetic?

A

Veneer it with a more translucent feldspathic porcelain or glass-ceramic to create a more natural appearance

54
Q

What makes zirconia so tough?

A

Transformation Toughening!

A unique process where upon application of external stress, the material expands in volume, which inhibits crack propagation and enhances the toughness of the material.

55
Q

Indications for Full Contour Zirconia?

A
  • Single Molar Crowns
  • Posterior FDPs
  • Alternative to PFM and Gold
56
Q

What makes Full Contour more translucent?

A
  • Lower alumina content at 0.05%

- Monolithic material unlike framework zirconia (bi-layer restorations)

57
Q

Does Full Contour Zirconia have transformation toughening?

A

Yes!

58
Q

What can even be more translucent then Full Contour Zirconia?

A

Cubic Zirconia

59
Q

What makes Cubic Zirconia more esthetic?

A

Increased levels of yttria > 5 % and a high proportion of cubic phase give it more translucency.

60
Q

What are some indications for Cubic Zirconia?

A
  • Single Unit Crowns

- Anterior FDPs

61
Q

Does Cubic Zirconia have transformation toughening?

A

No!

  • High cubic phase makes it more brittle
  • Easier crack propagation
62
Q

What is nicer to opposing teeth, polish or glaze in regards to monolithic zirconia?

A

Polished zirconia results in less of wear of antagonist enamel versus glazed zirconia

63
Q

What is the best way to bond Zirconia if you lack axial wall height?

A
  1. Mechanical roughening via sandblasting
  2. Primer containing MDP

The roughening increases the surface area for bonding, while MDP improves the resin cement’s chemical bonding.

64
Q

What are indications for Feldspathic CAD/CAM material?

A

Excellent esthetic properties

Mainly indicated for veneers and inlays

65
Q

What material is more translucent then all the Zirconias and stronger than other glass-based ceramics?

A

Lithium Discilicate

66
Q

What are indications for Resin-Ceramic Composites?

A

Inlays
Onlays
Veneers

67
Q

What has more predictable bonding, zirconia or LDS?

A

LDS, improved bonding, better esthetics

68
Q

What types of restorations would you consider using Framework Zirconia for?

A

Posterior FDPs

69
Q

What types of restorations would you consider using Full-Contour Zirconia for?

A
  • Posterior FDPs

- Single Unit Crowns

70
Q

What types of restorations would you consider using Cubic Zirconia for?

A
  • Single Unit Crowns (can be posterior)

- Anterior FDPs

71
Q

What types of restorations would you consider using LDS for?

A

HT: Veneers, Onlays

LT: Single unit crowns, Anterior FDPs
