The performance of base metal ceramic alloy restorations with reference to variances in thickness in metal and porcelain in order to establish optimal thickness ratios to maxize strength and aesthetic characteristics

Le Roux, Andre Rayne January 2000 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Dental Technology, Technikon Natal, 2000. / The greatest problem in maximizing strength and aesthetic characteristics of metal ceramic restorations arises when there is a lack of available space to allow sufficient thickness of metal alloy and porcelain. This generally results in the metal alloy being reduced to its minimum to allow adequate porcelain thickness. The minimum thickness to which noble metal alloys can safely be reduced, is generally accepted to be 0.3 mm due to previous clinical time-dependent trial and error. Agreement regarding the minimum thickness to which base metal alloys can safely be reduced is still under dispute possibly because base metal alloys have not had the same duration of clinical exposure. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To determine the influence thickness variations of the base metal alloy would have on strength characteristics of metal ceramic restorations and thereby establishing the minimum thickness to which base metal alloys can safely be reduced. 2. To determine the influence thickness variations of porcelain would have on strength and aesthetic characteristics of metal ceramic restorations and thereby establish the minimum thickness to which the porcelain thickness can safely be reduced. 3. To determine which base metal alloy to porcelain thickness ratios would be most suited in order to maximize strength and aesthetic characteristics in metal ceramic restorations where the amounts of available space for the alloy and porcelain are varied. For objective (1) Tensile strength tests to determine and compare the ability of various alloy thickness to resist porcelain fracture were performed in Newtons. For objective (2) Tensile tests to determine and compare the ability of various porcelain thickness to resist porcelain fracture were performed in Newtons. / M

Influência de três tratamentos de superfície para cerâmicas a base de zircônia na resistência adesiva e no comportamento à fadiga do material /

Amaral, Marina. January 2014 (has links)
Orientador: Luiz Felipe Valandro / Co-orientador: Paulo Francisco Cesar / Banca: Marco Antonio Bottino / Banca: Renata Marques de Melo Marinho / Banca: Estevam Augusto Bonfante / Banca: Nelson Renato França Alves da Silva / Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o efeito de dois diferentes métodos de deposição de sílica na superfície de uma cerâmica a base de zircônia estabilizada por ítria na adesão a um cimento resinoso e no limite de fadiga do material. A hipótese testada é que ambos os tratamentos de superfície promoverão aumento da adesão entre zircônia e cimento resinoso, e de que a adição de uma camada de sílica reduzirá a resistência à flexão biaxial de discos Y-TZP, antes e após ciclagem mecânica; já o jateamento aumentará a resistência da cerâmica nas duas condições, seguindo o mesmo padrão para o limite de fadiga. Para o teste de adesão, 45 barras receberam um dos seguintes tratamentos de superfície (n = 15): controle: grupo controle, sem tratamento adicional após sinterização; silicatização: jateamento com partículas de SiO2 30 μm (Rocatec Soft, 3M ESPE); glaze: aplicação de uma única camada de vidro amorfo (Glaze Vita Akzent - Vita Zanhfabrik) e condicionamento com HF por 1 min. As amostras foram cimentadas (cimentação resinosa) à secções de cerâmica de dissilicato de lítio e, após 2500 ciclos térmicos, o teste de resistência adesiva à tração foi executado. Para avaliação das propriedades mecânicas, corpos de prova em forma de disco da cerâmica VITA In-Ceram 2000 YZ cubes for InLab foram confeccionados de acordo com as normas do ensaio de flexão biaxial. Os tratamentos de superfície avaliados são: controle; silicatização; e Glaze/HF. Os corpos de prova foram submetidos a flexão biaxial antes e após ciclagem mecânica (2 x 106 ciclos, 100 N, biaxial, imersão em água 37 ºC, 4 Hz). O método de escada foi utilizado para determinação do limite de fadiga dos corpos de prova, com 102, 103, 104 e 105 ciclos. A resistência adesiva foi maior para o grupo silicatização, seguido pelo grupo Glaze/HF e por ultimo o grupo controle, o qual não resistiu à ciclagem térmica. A ciclagem mecânica.. / Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different silica deposition methods on the surface of a zirconia ceramic on the adhesion to a resin cement and on the fatigue limit of the materials. The tested hypothesis is that surface treatments enhance the adhesion of resin cement to zirconia, and that the application of a silica layer reduces the flexural strength of zirconia discs, before and after mechanical cycling, and that air abrasion enhance the strength in both situations, following this patter also to fatigue limits. For the adhesive test, 45 bars received the following surface treatments (n = 15): control: without surface treatment after sintering; air-abrasion: 30 μm SiO2 particles (Rocated Soft, 3M ESPE); glaze: application of a thin layer of glaze (Glaze Vita Akzent - Vita Zanhfabrik), HF etching during 1 min plus silane. Samples were resin cemented to lithium dissilicate slices, and after 2,500 cycles of thermocycling, the tensile test was performed. Disc-shaped specimens were used for the evaluation of mechanical properties. The same surface treatments were performed on the tensile side of the samples. Specimens were submitted to biaxial flexural strength before and after mechanical cycling (2 x 106 cycles, 100 N, water immersion 37 ºC, 4 Hz). Stair case method was used to determine the fatigue limit of samples at 102, 103, 104 and 105 cycles. Adhesive strength was higher for air abraded group, compared to glaze group; control group did not survived thermocycling. Mechanical cycling had no effect on flexural strength. Air abrasion presented the highest values of flexural strength. Weibull analysis showed the highest m value for air abraded group without mechanical cycling, and the highest value was presented by glazed and mechanical cycled group. In stair case analysis, all groups presented a decrease in fatigue limit according to increase in number of cycles; air ... / Doutor

Efeito do tratamento térmico em cerâmica feldspáticas silanizada na adesão do cimento resinoso /

Miranda, Geraldo Marques. January 2014 (has links)
Orientador: Clovis Pagani / Banca: Ricardo Amore / Banca: Eduado Bresciani / Resumo: Os tratamentos de superfície convencionais realizados em cerâmicas feldspáticas são o condicionamento com ácido fluorídrico e a aplicação do silano. Porém em inúmeros estudos o condicionamento ácido tem sido questionado por sua toxidade química. Assim objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do tratamento térmico na cerâmica feldspática silanizada na adesão ao cimento resinoso. Por meio de um estudo in vitro foram seccionados 24 blocos de cerâmica feldspática sinterizada, com dimensões de 5 x 10 x 4 mm. Estes blocos foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos experimentais: G1 (HF + Silano); G2 (Silano + aquecimento 77 °C); G3 (HF+ Silano + aquecimento 77 °C). Os blocos cerâmicos foram cimentados a blocos de resina composta por meio de um cimento resinoso (Variolink, Ivoclair-Vivadent), posteriormente o conjunto foi cimentado a blocos idênticos de resina composta (Z-100, 3M-ESPE) e após a cimentação foram submetidos à ciclagem mecânica (10.000 ciclos 100 N). Após ciclagem foram seccionados em palitos de 1mm2 e submetido ao teste microtração a velocidade de 1 mm/min. Todos os corpos de prova foram analisados em estereomicroscópio com 20 x, para classificação das fraturas e apenas as amostras significativas em microscópio eletrônico de varredura com magnitudes com de 100 x, 300 x e 500 x. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística Anova um fator e teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). A análise estatística demonstrou semelhança estatística (p - valor = 0,33)entre todos os grupos (G1 22,63 MPaA; G2 23,31 MPaA; G3 26,32 MPaA).A análise de falhas demonstrou predominância de falhas adesivas para todos os grupos. Conclui-se que o aquecimento do silano é efetivo para esta interface sendo possível eliminar o condicionamento com HF(ácido fluorídrico) / Abstract: The conventional surface treatment performed on feldspathic ceramic is the fluoridric acid etching and silane application. But in several studies the etching has been questioned for its chemical toxicity. Thus this study aimed to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on silanized feldspathic ceramic bond strength to resin cement. Through an in vitro study 24 feldspathic ceramic sintered blocks were sectioned; 5 x 10 x 4 mm of dimensions. These blocks were randomly divided into three experimental groups: G1 ( HF + silane ) ; G2 ( + Silane heating 77 °C); (G3 + Silane + HF + heating 77 °C). The ceramic blocks were cemented with resin blocks composed of resinous cement ( Variolink , IvoclairVivadent ) , the set was later cemented identical blocks of composite resin ( Z - 100 , 3M - ESPE ) , after cementation were subjected to cycling mechanical (10,000 cycles 100 N). After cycling were sectioned into sticks of 1mm2 and submitted to microtensile test with speed of 1 mm / min. Representative samples were analyzed with a stereomicroscope at 20 x and scanning electron microscope with magnitudes of 100 x, 300 x and 500 x. The results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA one factor and by Tukey test (α = 0.05). Statistical analysis showed (p - value = 0.33) statistical similarity between all groups (G1 22.63 mPa, mPa 23.31 G2, G3 26.32 mPa). The failure analysis showed predominance of adhesive failures for all groups. It can be concluded that heating the silane is effective for this interface it is possible to eliminate the etching with HF (Flouridric acid) / Mestre
