27
Q

layered zirconia - makeup

A

porcelain fused to zirconia (PFZ)

28
Q

core and outer layer of layered zirconia

A

core = 3 mol% zirconia
outside = porcelain

29
Q

strength and translucency of layered zirconia

A

high strength
low translucency

30
Q

dimensions of core and porcelain (layered zirconia)

A

0.6mm core
1.2mm (<2mm) porcelain

31
Q

what happens if there is more than 2m of unsupported porcelain?

A

porcelain chipping

32
Q

multi-shade layered zirconia

A

yttria content is the same throughout
restoration has different shades!

33
Q

multi-yttria layered zirconia

A

the yttria content is different throughout
made of same shade

DIFFERENT TRANSLUCENCIES

34
Q

strength and translucency of multi-yttria layered zirconia

A

variable strength
variable translucency

because of different yttria contents!

35
Q

in theory, where should the stronger zirconia go in multi-yttria layered zirconia

A

stronger phase zirconia at cervical part because it increases fracture resistance

36
Q

in reality, what happens when the weaker zirconia phase is at the occlusal part?

A

decreases fracture resistance

37
Q

when should you use sodium hydroxide in zirconia cementation?

A

after trying in restoration

37
Q

when should you use sodium hydroxide in zirconia cementation?

A

after trying in restoration

38
Q

why use sodium hydroxide for zirconia cementation?

A

because zirconia has a high affinity to salivary proteins so cleaning it with sodium hydroxide after the try in is necessary

38
Q
A
39
Q

bonding protocol for zirconia

A

APC concept

  1. air abrade
  2. phosphate monomer
  3. cement
40
Q

what kind of cement should be used for zirconia?

A

dual or self/chemical cure
