O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar o efeito do pH de armazenamento (pH 3,5; 7,0 e 10,0) nos parâmetros de crescimento subcrítico (n e ? f0) de duas porcelanas odontológicas com diferentes microestruturas (com e sem leucita). A hipótese testada foi a de que o pH do meio afeta os parâmetros de crescimento subcrítico dos dois materiais. Duas porcelanas feldspáticas foram avaliadas: 1) Ultropaline Dentina (UD), JenDental/Ucrânia; 2) Veneer Material 7 (VM7), Vita/Alemanha. A porcelana UD é composta de matriz vítrea com dispersão de partículas de segunda fase de leucita, enquanto a porcelana VM7 apresenta exclusivamente fase vítrea. Espécimes em forma de disco com características específicas (diâmetro e espessura) foram sinterizados com os dois materiais seguindo o ciclo proposto pelos fabricantes. Os espécimes foram armazenados em diferentes soluções com pH específico (3,5; 7,0 e 10,0) por 10 dias antes de serem testados. Os parâmetros de fadiga foram obtidos pelo método de fadiga dinâmica utilizando o ensaio de resistência à flexão biaxial (“piston on three balls”) com cinco taxas constantes de carregamento (0,01; 0,1; 1; 10 e 100 MPa/s). A tenacidade à fratura e a dureza foram avaliadas pelo método da fratura por indentação (IF). A microestrutura dos materiais foi analisada por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura, difração de raios X e análise química por fluorescência de raios X. O efeito do pH no coeficiente de susceptibilidade ao crescimento subcrítico (n) foi diferente para os dois materiais estudados. Os resultados mostraram que, para a porcelana vítrea (VM7), o valor de n não variou significativamente em função do pH. Para a porcelana com leucita (UD), houve uma diminuição do valor de n quando a armazenagem foi feita em pH 3,5. O efeito do pH no parâmetro escalar (? f0) também foi diferente para os dois materiais. Para a porcelana VM7, tanto o pH ácido como o básico resultaram em menores valores de resistência em relação ao pH neutro. Para a porcelana UD, somente a armazenagem em pH básico resultou em queda do valor de ? f0. Os valores de dureza dos dois materiais diminuíram conforme o pH foi aumentado, porém, somente a diferença entre o grupo armazenado a seco e o grupo armazenado em pH 10 foi estatisticamente significativa para as duas porcelanas. Com relação à tenacidade, o pH não influenciou significativamente nas médias obtidas para os dois materiais. Com base nos resultados foi possível concluir que o efeito pH do meio de armazenamento no crescimento subcrítico de porcelanas dontológicas varia de acordo com a microestrutura do material. / The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the pH of the storage medium (pH 3,5; 7,0 e 10,0) on the fatigue parameters (n and ? f0) of two dental porcelains with different microstructures (with and without leucite). The hypothesis tested was that the pH affects the fatigue parameters of both materials. The dental porcelains tested were: 1) Ultropaline Dentin (UD), JenDental/Ucraine; 2) Veneer Material 7 (VM7), Vita/Germany. UD contains leucite and VM7 is only vitreous. Disc specimens were produced with both materials following manufacturers’ firing cycles. The specimens were stored in water solutions with different pHs (3,5; 7,0 e 10,0) for 10 days and after that the fatigue parameters were obtained by means of the dynamic fatigue test. Hardness and fracture toughness were determined by means of the indentation fracture technique. Microstructural analysis of the materials was also carried out. The effect of the pH in the fatigue parameters was different for the two materials tested. The results showed that, for VM7, the n value did not vary as a function of the pH. For porcelain UD, the n value was lower when the specimens where stored in pH 3,5. The parameter ? f0 was also affected by the pH. For both materials, the storage in basic pH resulted in a decrease in the ? f0 value. The hardness of both materials decreased with the increase in the pH of the storage media, and fracture toughness was not affect by the pH. Based on the results, it was possible to conclude that the effect of the pH (of the storage media) on the fatigue parameters of the dental porcelains studied varied according to the porcelain’s microstructure.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da temperatura de troca iônica (TI) nas propriedades mecânicas da porcelana Ultrapaline ST e o efeito da TI nos parâmetros de crescimento subcrítico de trincas (SCG) (coeficiente de SCG - n, parâmetro escalar - ?f0), de Weibull (resistência característica - ?0, módulo de Weibull - m) e no comportamento de curva R desta porcelana. 250 discos (12 mm diâmetro x 1 mm espessura) foram fabricados de acordo com as instruções do fabricante, usinados em retificadora plana e polidos até 1 ?m. Para determinar o efeito da temperatura de TI na resistência à flexão biaxial (?), dureza (H) e tenacidade à fratura (KIc), 40 discos foram divididos em 4 grupos (n=10): GI (controle) - sem TI; e GII, GIII e GIV submetidos a TI com KNO3 por 15 min a 450°C; 470°C e 490°C, respectivamente. A ? foi determinada por \"pistão sobre três esferas\" em saliva artificial a 37°C a 10 MPa/s. Para dureza e tenacidade à fratura, foram feitas 3 indentações Vickers em cada espécime (2kg, 30s) e as diagonais e trincas radiais foram medidas e os valores de H e KIc calculados. As médias e desvios-padrão para ? (MPa), H (GPa) e KIc (MPa.m1/2) foram: GI: 57,95 ± 8.97, 7,24 ± 0,79 e 1,14 ± 0,14; GII: 125,04 ± 23,58, 5,80 ± 0,14, 2,62 ± 0,14; GIII: 133,00 ± 11,00, 5,88 ± 0,45, 2,54 ± 0,22; GIV: 137,67 ± 12,05, 5,88 ± 0,17, 2,57 ± 0,10, respectivamente. Para determinação dos parâmetros de SCG e de Weibull, 140 espécimes foram divididos em 2 grupos: GC (controle) e GT (submetidos à TI por 15 min a 470°C). Para determinação de n e de ?f0, 50 espécimes de cada grupo foram testados em saliva artificial a 37°C em flexão biaxial em uma das seguintes taxas de tensão: 10-2, 10-1, 100, 101 e 102 MPa/s. Para determinação dos parâmetros de Weibull, mais 20 espécimes de cada grupo foram ensaiados na taxa de 100 MPa/s. Os valores de n, ?f0, m e ?0 foram, respectivamente (valores entre parênteses representam intervalos de confiança de 95%): 24,1 ± 2,5; 58,1 ± 0,01; 13,8 (10,0 a 18,8) e 60,4 (62,2 a 58,5) para GC e 36,7 ± 7,3; 127,9 ± 0,01; 7,4 (5,3 a 10,1) e 136,8 (129,1 a 144,7) para GT. Para determinação do efeito da TI no curva R, 7 espécimes de cada grupo receberam uma indentação Vickers em uma das seguintes cargas de indentação (kg): 0,18; 0,32; 0,56; 1,0; 3,2. Após armazenados ao ar por 24 h os espécimes foram ensaiados a 10 MPa/s em saliva artificial a 37°C. Os parâmetros ?, ?, q foram, respectivamente: 62,57; 0,12 e 0,2857 para GC e 161,50; 0,34 e -0,0074 para GT. Os valores de k variaram de 0,371 a 0,515 para GC e de 1,240 a 0,804 para GT. Não houve diferença nas propriedades mecânicas entre as três temperaturas de TI testadas. A TI promoveu aumento significativo do valor de n, ?f0 e ?0, entretanto resultou em diminuição do valor de m e também suprimiu o comportamento de curva R, presente no material antes da realização da TI. / The objectives of this study were to determine the influence of different ion exchange (IE) temperatures on mechanical properties of a dental porcelain Ultrapaline ST and the effect of IE on slow crack growth (SCG) (coefficient of SCG - n, scale parameter - ?f0) and Weibull parameters (characteristic strength - ?0; Weibull modulus - m) and R-curve behavior of this porcelain. 250 specimens (12 mm diameter x 1 mm height) were fabricated according to the manufacturer\'s instructions, grounded with a surface-grinding device and polished up to 1?m. To determine the effect of IE temperature on biaxial flexural strength (?), hardness (H) and fracture toughness (KIc), 40 specimens were divided in four groups (n=10) as follow: GI - control (no ion exchange); GII, GIII and GIV submitted to IE with KNO3 for 15 min at 450°C; 470°C e 490°C, respectively. The ? was determined using a piston-on-three-balls device, in artificial saliva at 37°C and constant loading rate of 10 MPa/s. For hardness and fracture toughness, 3 Vickers indentations (2kg, 30s) were made on each specimen. The diagonals and radial cracks were measured in order to calculate H and KIc. Mean and standard deviations values of ? (MPa), H (GPa) and KIc (MPa.m1/2) were: I: 57.95 ± 8.97; 7.24 ± 0.79; 1.14 ± 0.14; II: 125.04 ± 23.58; 5.80 ± 0.14; 2.62 ± 0.14; III: 133.00 ± 11.00; 5.88 ± 0.45; 2.54 ± 0.22; IV: 137.67 ± 12.05; 5.88 ± 0.17; 2.57 ± 0.10, respectively. To determine the effect of IE on SCG and Weibull parameters, 140 specimens were divided in 2 groups: GC (control) and GIE (submitted to IE at 470°C for 15 min). To determine the SCG parameters, 10 specimens of each group were tested in biaxial flexural strength in each one of five constant stress rates: 10-2, 10-1, 100, 101 e 102 MPa/s. To determine the Weibull parameters, 20 specimens of each group were tested in the stress rate of 100 MPa/s. The n, ?f0, m and ?0 (values in parenthesis represent the confidence interval) were: 24.1 ± 2.5; 58.1 ± 0.01; 13.8 (10.0 to 18.8) and 60.4 (62.2 to 58.5) for GC and: 36.7 ± 7.3; 127.9 ± 0.01; 7.4 (5.3 to 10.1) and 136.8 (129.1 to 144.7) for GIE, respectively. To determine the effect of IE on R-curve behavior, 7 specimens of each group received a Vickers indentation in one of the following indentation loads (kg): 0.18; 0.32; 0.56; 1.0; 3.2. After stored on air for 24 h, the specimens were tested biaxial flexure strength in artificial saliva at 37°C in a stress rate of 10 MPa/s. The ?, ?, q parameters were, respectively: 62.57; 0.12 and 0.2857 for GC and 161.50; 0.34 and -0.0074 for GIE. The values of k varied from 0.371 to 0.515 for GC and from 0.34 to 0.0074 for GIE. There are no differences on mechanical properties among the three IE temperatures tested. The IE promoted significantly increase of n, ?f0 and ?0 however, decreased the m value and suppressed the R-curve behavior originally present on material before the IE.

Material e método: Baseado em imagens micro-tomográficas (μCT) 2 modelos (M) tridimensionais foram construídos no programa Solidworks 2007 variando a redução da cúspide vestibular, sendo Mp o modelo composto pelo dente pré-molar restaurado com uma faceta laminada de cerâmica, com redução parcial da cúspide vestibular e Mt, o modelo semelhante ao Mp, porém com redução total da cúspide vestibular. O programa de elementos finitos ANSYS Workbench 10.0 foi utilizado para realizar as análises. O carregamento (150 N) foi aplicado próximo à ponta de cúspide vestibular, com 45º de inclinação. Foram utilizados os critérios da máxima tensão principal ( max) e da máxima tensão cisalhante ( shear) na faceta laminada e na camada de cimento resinoso. Resultados: O Mt mostrou menor shear em 9 das 12 áreas analisadas quando comparado ao Mp. O Mp mostrou menor variação da max (de -3,13 para 14,4 MPa) que o Mt para a lâmina de cerâmica (de -2,08 para 24,3 MPa) A camada de cimento apresentou variação de max semelhante entre os Mp e Mt. Os critérios de tensões utilizados não evidenciaram valores além dos limites estabelecidos para a falha estrutural do material estudado. Conclusão: O laminado cerâmico e a camada de cimento resinoso apresentaram comportamento mecânico favorável para a restauração do pré-molar frente ao carregamento adotado. O tipo de redução de cúspide não influenciou no aumento expressivo das tensões principal e cisalhante. O Mp apresentou menores valores de max em tração quando comparado ao Mt. O Mp e o Mt apresentaram comportamento favorável com relação as forças cisalhantes, sendo as maiores tensões. / Objectives: Using 3-D finite element analysis (FEA) and μCT data, the aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of the laminate veneer and the resin luting cement in a maxillary premolar with the buccal cusp partially or completed covered. Material and method: 2 3-D FEA models of a maxillary premolar were built from μCT data. All models were restored with a feldspathic laminate veneer using Solidworks. A similar tooth reduction (0.5mm) was applied for two models. The buccal cusp reduction of the premolar followed two configurations: Model (Mt) - buccal cusp completely covered by veneer; and Model (Mp) - buccal cusp partially covered by veneer. The loading (150N, in 45o) was performed on the buccal cusp of each premolar. Appropriate boundary condition was applied at the periodontal ligament surfaces and ANSYS (10.0) was used to obtain the maximum shear stress ( shear) and maximum principal stress ( max) for the laminate veneer and resin luting cement layer. Results: The Mp showed higher shear than Mt in 9 to 12 analyzed areas. The Mp showed smallest variation of max in laminate veneer (from -3,13 to 14,4 MPa) compared with Mt (from - 2,08 to 24,3 MPa). The resin luting cement showed similar variation of max between Mp and Mt (from -3.13 to 12.2 MPa) and (from -1.61 to 14.1 MPa), respectively. None of the structures exceeded the ultimate tensile strength or the shear bond strength to dentin and enamel. Conclusion: The laminate veneer and the resin luting cement layer showed an adequate behavior when veneer was applied in premolars. Cusp reduction did not affect significant increase in max and shear. In general, the Mp showed better behavior ( max) than Mt. The Mt showed better behavior ( shear) than Mp.

Cem pastilhas da cerâmica IPS e.max Press® medindo 2 x 7 mm foram divididas em dez grupos de acordo com o tratamento de superfície (n=10): G1, controle, ou seja, sem tratamento; G2, G3 e G4 condicionamento com HF 5% por 20, 40 e 60 segundos, respectivamente; G5, G6 e G7, condicionamento com HF 10% por 20, 40 e 60 segundos, respectivamente; G8, G9 e G10 condicionamento com HF a 10% por 20,40 e 60 segundos respectivamente e, posteriormente, condicionamento com ácido fosfórico 37% por 5 segundos. A análise da rugosidade superficial foi feita em microscópio ótico confocal. As pastilhas representativas de cada grupo foram selecionadas e metalizadas para análise da morfologia superficial em microscopia eletrônica de varredura e em microscópio de força atômica. Para a análise de resistência de união ao microcisalhamento, sobre as superfícies devidamente tratadas, foi aplicado o silano RelyX Ceramic Primer® e aguardou-se 1 minuto para que se realizasse a cimentação. Foram cimentados três cilindros em cada pastilha com o cimento resinoso RelyXTM U200, e fotopolimerizados por 60 segundos cada. Os corpos de prova foram armazenados em água deionizada a 37°C por 24 horas (n=30). Terminado esse tempo, os corpos de prova foram submetidos ao teste de microcisalhamento em uma máquina de ensaios universal Emic DL 2000® com velocidade de 1 mm/minuto até que ocorresse a fratura. Os valores médios de ambos os testes foram submetidos à análise estatística ANOVA dois fatores e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey com 5% de significância. Todas as superfícies fraturadas foram levadas ao estereomicroscópio com aumento de 50 vezes para verificar o padrão de falha ocorrido e alguns corpos de prova após a fratura, foram aleatoriamente escolhidos para representar cada tipo de falha, foram metalizados e levados ao microscópio eletrônico de varredura para caracterização da superfície. A maior rugosidade superficial foi obtida pelo grupo G6 (2,05±0,107) sendo superior estatisticamente aos demais. Já a menor rugosidade foi obtida pelo grupo controle G1 (0,567±0,057) e inferior estatisticamente aos demais. Os grupos G7 (1,785±0,037); G3 (1,608±0,03); G10 (1,551±0,046); G9 (1,449±0,047); G5 (1,443±0,06); G4 (1,422±0,103); G8 (1,339±0,036) e G2 (1,283±0,059) apresentaram valores intermediários de rugosidade. Dentre estes grupos, o G3 (22.75±1.97MPa) foi o que apresentou a maior média de resistência da união com falhas do tipo mista. Por outro lado, o G1 (5.25±1.29MPa) apresentou o menor valor médio de resistência da união com predominância de falhas adesivas. Assim, conclui-se que a concentração do ácido e o tempo influenciaram na rugosidade superficial, sendo maior para o condicionamento com ácido HF a 10%. Para a resistência da união, o tempo de condicionamento e a interação deste com a concentração dos ácidos influenciou de forma significativa; sendo que o ácido HF de menor concentração, 5% por 40 segundos, foi o que apresentou maiores valores. / The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different acid treatments, the concentration variation and the time of exposure to hydrofluoric (HF) and phosphoric acids (H3PO4) on the surface roughness and bond strength of a glass-ceramic reinforced by cement lithium disilicate with a self-adhesive resin cement. One hundred tablets of the IPS e.max Press® ceramic measuring 2 x 7 mm were divided into ten groups according to the surface treatment (n = 10): G1, control, or untreated; G2, G3 and G4 etching with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20, 40 and 60 seconds, respectively; G5, G6 and G7 etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 20, 40 and 60 seconds, respectively; G8, G9 and G10 etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid for 20, 40 and 60 seconds respectively, and subsequently etched with phosphoric acid at 37% for 5 seconds. Analysis of surface roughness was performed confocal optical microscope. Representative tablets of each group were selected and metallized for analysis of surface morphology in scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope. For the analysis of bond strength to microshear, on properly treated surfaces, the silane RelyX Ceramic Primer® was applied and waited up to 1 minute to the holding of the cementing. Three-cylinder in each tablet were cemented with resin cement RelyXTM U200, and light cured for 60 seconds. The specimens were stored in deionized water at 37C for 24 hours (n = 30). After this time, the specimens were submitted to microshear test in a universal testing machine Emic DL 2000® with speed of 1 mm/min until the fracture. The average values of both tests were submitted to ANOVA two factors and the means compared by Tukey test at 5% significance level. All fractured surfaces were taken to the stereomicroscope with 50X enlargement to verify the pattern of failure occurred and some specimens with significant fractures of each type of failure were metallized and taken to the scanning electron microscope for surface characterization. The increased surface roughness was obtained by the G6 group (2.05 ± 0.107 N) and statistically superior. Already the slightest roughness was obtained by G1 control group (0.567 ± 0.057) and statistically lower to others. The G7 (1.785 ± 0.037); G3 (1.608 ± 0.03); G10 (1.551 ± 0.046); G9 (1.449 ± 0.047); G5 (1.443 ± 0.06); G4 (1.422 ± 0.103); G8 (1.339 ± 0.036) and G2 (1.283 ± 0.059) showed intermediate roughness values. Among these groups, the G3 (22.75 ± 1.97 N) was presented the highest mean bond strength with failures of mixed type. Moreover, G1 (5.25 ± 1.29 N) had the lowest average value of the bond strength with a predominance of adhesive failures. Thus, it is concluded that the acid concentration and time influence the surface roughness, being greater for etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid. For the bond strength, the conditioning time and the interaction of this with the concentration of the acid had a significant influence; being that the hydrofluoric acid of lower concentration, 5% for 40 seconds, showed the highest values.

Objetivo: Comparar in vitro la adaptación marginal de coronas unitarias de porcelana vitrocerámica elaboradas con tres sistemas de procesado. Materiales y métodos: El presente estudio fue de tipo experimental in vitro. La muestra estuvo conformada por 69 coronas de porcelana vitrocerámica fabricadas con los sistemas: CAD-CAM, inyección de porcelana y condensación sobre muñón refractario. Para la evaluación de la discrepancia marginal vertical se realizó un registro fotográfico con una cámara digital y un lente macroscópico de 100 milímetros. Las imágenes fueron medidas digitalmente (ImageJ) y se utilizaron 52 puntos aleatorios de discrepancia marginal vertical alrededor de las coronas para obtener el promedio de cada una de ellas. Se utilizó la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis para realizar la comparación entre los grupos de estudio con un nivel de significancia estadística de p<0.05. Resultados: El presente estudio encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas al comparar los tres sistemas de procesado (<0.001). El sistema CAD-CAM tuvo una discrepancia marginal vertical menor (53 µm) en comparación con el sistema de inyección de porcelana (85 µm) y el de condensación sobre muñón refractario (113 µm). Conclusiones: Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los tres grupos de estudio. Asimismo, el sistema CAD-CAM tuvo una mayor adaptación marginal en comparación con los otros dos métodos de fabricación. Finalmente, los tres sistemas de confección utilizados tuvieron una discrepancia marginal vertical por debajo del límite establecido por la Asociación Americana de Odontología (<120 µm). / Objective: To compare in vitro the marginal adaptation of ceramic glass porcelain single crowns made with three processing systems. Materials and methods: The present study was experimental in vitro. The sample consisted of 69 glass ceramic porcelain crowns manufactured with the following three systems: CAD-CAM, porcelain injection and powder condensation. For de measurement of the vertical marginal discrepancy, the crowns were photographed using a digital camera with a macroscopic lens of 100 millimeters. The images were imported into image processing software (ImageJ) and 52 points were randomly selected around the crown to measure the vertical marginal discrepancy. For each crown, the 52 measurements were combined into a single average marginal discrepancy. Kruskal-Wallis was used to test differences in the observed marginal discrepancies between the study groups. (p <0.05) Results: This study found statistically significant differences when comparing the three different processing systems (<0.001). The CAD-CAM system had a smaller vertical marginal discrepancy (53 µm) compared to the porcelain injection (85 µm) and the powder condensation techniques (113 µm). Conclusions: Statistically significant differences were found between the three study groups. Also, the CAD-CAM system had a greater marginal adaptation compared to the other two manufacturing techniques. Finally, the three fabrication methods used in this study had a vertical marginal discrepancy within the limit established by the American Dental Association (<120 µm). / Tesis

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Statement of problem: Yttria-partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) all-ceramic restorations have been reported to suffer from chipping or cracking of the veneering porcelain (VP) as the most common complication. There is little information in the literature regarding the influence of surface treatment on VP shear bond strength to Y-TZP after cyclic loading. Purpose of this study: The goals of this study were (1) to investigate the influence of zirconia surface treatments on veneering porcelain shear bond strength and (2) to investigate the influence of cyclic loading on the shear bond strength between VP and Y-TZP. Materials and Methods: 48 cylinder–shaped specimens (6mm in diameter and 4mm in height) were divided into 4 groups containing 12 specimens each according to the surface treatment. As a control group (C), no further treatment was applied to the specimens after grinding. Group H was heat-treated as a pretreatment according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Group S was airborne-particle abraded with 50 µm alumina (Al2O3) particles under a pressure of 0.4 MPa for 10 seconds. In the group SH, the heat-treatment was performed after the airborne-particle abrasion. A VP cylinder (2.4 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height) was applied and fired on the prepared Y-TZP specimens. The shear bond strength was tested using a universal testing machine. Six specimens from each group were subjected to fatigue (10,000cycles, 1.5Hz, 10N load) before testing. Results: The 3-way ANOVA showed no statistically significant effect of surface treatment and cyclic loading on shear bond strength. The highest mean shear bond strength was recorded for the air-particle abrasion group without cyclic loading (34.1 + 10 MPa). The lowest mean shear bond strength was the air-particle abrasion group with cyclic loading (10.7 ± 15.4 MPa). Sidak multiple comparisons procedure demonstrated cyclic loading specimens had significantly lower shear bond strength than non-cyclic loading specimens after air-particle abrasion without heat treatment (p=0.0126) Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, (1) Shear bond strength between Y-TZP and VP is not affected statistically by surface treatment using heat treatment, airborne-particle abrasion, and heat treatment after airborne-particle abrasion. (2) There is significant difference in shear bond strength with air-particle abrasion between with and without cyclic loading groups. This difference suggested that air-particle abrasion should be avoided in clinical situations as a surface treatment without heat treatment.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: New glass ceramics and Computer-Aided Design/Computer Assisted Manufacture (CAD/CAM) have become common aspects of modern dentistry. The use of posterior ceramic crowns with a high level of esthetics, fabricated using the CAD/CAM technology is a current treatment modality. Several materials have been used to fabricate these crowns, including lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, which have not been fully investigated in the literature. Objective: to investigate the load to fracture of lithium disilicate glass ceramic posterior crowns fabricated by CAD/CAM technology with different material thicknesses adhesively cemented on epoxy resin. Methods: Four groups of different ceramic thicknesses (0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm) were fabricated by milling CAD/CAM lithium disilicate IPS emax CAD blocks. A total of 68 posterior crowns were surface treated and luted with a resin adhesive cement on an epoxy resin model. Samples were fatigued then loaded to fracture using a universal testing machine to test the fracture strength. Statistical comparisons between various crown thicknesses were performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher's Protected Least Significant Differences. Results: There was a significant difference in the load-to-fracture (N) value for all comparisons of the four thickness groups (p < 0.0001), except 2 mm vs. 1.5 mm (p = 0.325). The mean load-to-fracture (N) was significantly higher for 2 mm than for 1 mm or 0.5 mm. Additionally, the mean load-to-fracture was significantly higher for 1.5 mm than for 1 mm or 0.5 mm. Furthermore, the mean load-to-fracture was significantly higher for 1 mm than for 0.5 mm. Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, it is advisable for clinical applications to consider a crown thickness of 1.5 mm or greater of milled lithium disilicate for posterior single teeth.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The use of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP), normally employed as a framework for all-ceramic restorations, has now started to be used without any veneering ceramics in patients with parafunctional activities. The aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of Y-TZP surface roughness on the wear behavior (volume/height loss) against glass-based ceramics (i.e., IPS Empress CAD and IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar-Vivadent). Thirty-two Y-TZP full-contour zirconia (Ardent®) sliders (ϕ=2 mm, 1.5 mm in height) were milled in a CAD/CAM unit and sintered according to the manufacturer instructions. Sliders were embedded in brass holders using acrylic resin and then randomly allocated into 2 groups according to the surface treatment (n=16): G1-as-machined and G2-glazed (Diazir®). Empress and e.max antagonists were cut into tabs (13×13×2 mm) wet-finished and also embedded in brass holders. Two-body pin-on-disc wear testing was performed at 1.2 Hz for 25,000 cycles under a 3-kg load. Non-contact profilometry was used to measure antagonist height (μm) and volume loss (mm3). Qualitative data of the testing surfaces and wear tracks were obtained using SEM. Statistics were performed using one- and two-way ANOVAs (α=0.05). The results indicated that G1 yielded significantly higher mean roughness values (Ra=0.83 μm, Rq=1.09 μm) than G2 (Ra=0.53 μm, Rq=0.78 μm). Regarding antagonist loss, G1 caused significantly less antagonist mean height and volume loss (68.4 μm, 7.6 mm3) for Empress than G2 (84.9 μm, 9.9 mm3) while no significant differences were found for e.max. Moreover, Empress significantly showed lower mean height and volume loss than e.max (p<0.0001). SEM data revealed morphological differences on wear characteristics between the two ceramics against Y-TZP. Within the limitations of this study, e.max wear was not affected by Y-TZP surface roughness. However, Empress wear was greater when opposing glazed Y-TZP. Overall, based on our findings, surface glazing on full-contour Y-TZP did not minimize glass-ceramic antagonist wear when compared with as-machined group.

Para a análise da resistência à flexão foram confeccionados 180 discos de zircônia, 120 de 0,5mm e 60 com 1,2mm discos (14 mm de diâmetro). 90 discos foram infiltrados com sílica pelo método sol-gel em temperatura ambiente (n = 30). A espessura do disco foi de 1,2 mm para os espécimes controle (espécime sem porcelana, n = 30). O recobrimento por porcelana feldspática foi de duas espessuras (0,5mm e 1 mm) sobre a zircônia que tinha 0,5 mm. Os espécimes com porcelana foram polidos com lixas de carbeto de silício (SiC) de granulação # 400, 600, 800 e 1200. Obtivemos 6 grupos: dois monolíticos (ZR- Zircônia Monolítica sem infiltração e ZRI- Zircônia Monolítica Infiltrada) (controle) e quatro estratificados: ZRF 1,0 (0,5mm Zircônia coberta com 0,5 mm porcelana), ZRIF 1,0 (0,5 mm Zircônia infiltrada coberta com 0,5 mm de porcelana), ZRF 1,5 (0,5 mm Zircônia infiltrada coberta com 1,0 mm de porcelana) ZRIF 1,5- Zircônia infiltrada (0,5 mm Zircônia infiltrada coberta com 1,0 mm de porcelana). Após o ensaio de flexão biaxial em meio aquoso, foram determinados o módulo de Weibull (m) e resistência característica (σθ). Os fragmentos foram analisados em EDS, MEV, DRX e FTIR. A Dureza (H) e tenacidade a fratura foram analisadas pela nanoindentação, já o módulo elástico (E) por duas técnicas, nanoindentação e por impulso, e para avaliar a adesão entre a zircônia e a porcelana foi aplicado o Teste de Scratch. Foram modeladas 7 condições experimentais e analisados pelo método por elementos finitos. A zircônia monolítica infiltrada mostrou uma estrutura com grãos arredondados envoltos em uma matriz de sílica, e a presença de zircônia cúbica e tetragonal. O DRX revelou a formação de ZrSiO4 nos grupos infiltrados. Os grupos monolíticos apresentaram módulos de Weibull superiores aos dos grupos com porcelana. Com a análise (AEF) não houve diferença entre os grupos com a mesma espessura, já para o grupo recoberto com 0,5 mm de porcelana, os valores de tração e compressão foram maiores. A cerâmica infiltrada apresentou microestrutura diferente, e a adesão da porcelana à zircônia não-infiltrada foi superior à da zircônia infiltrada. / The objective was to infiltrate silica in a Y- TZP ceramics, evaluate its effect on resistance biaxial strenght, and the union with feldspathic porcelain. For the analysis of flexural strength were prepared zirconia discs 180, 120 and 60 of 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm disks (14 mm diameter). 90 discs were infiltrated with silica by the sol-gel method at room temperature (n = 30). The thickness of the disk was 1.2 mm for the samples control (no porcelain specimen, n = 30). The coating was feldspathic porcelain by two thicknesses (0.5 mm and 1 mm) of zirconia, which had 0.5 mm. Specimens with porcelain were polished with sandpaper silicon carbide (SiC) granulation # 400, 600, 800 and 1200. We obtained six groups: two monolithic (Zr-Zirconia Monolithic without infiltration and ZRI- Zirconia monolithic Infiltrated) (control) and four laminated ZRF 1.0 (0.5 mm zirconia covered with 0.5 mm porcelain), ZRIF 1.0 (0.5 mm infiltrated zirconia covered with 0.5 mm of porcelain), ZRF 1.5 (0.5 mm infiltrated zirconia covered with 1.0 mm of porcelain) ZRIF 1,5-infiltrated Zirconia (0.5 mm infiltrated zirconia covered with 1.0 mm of porcelain). After the biaxial bending test in an aqueous medium were determined Weibull modulus (m) and the characteristic strength (σθ). The fragments were analyzed by EDS, SEM, XRD and FTIR. The hardness (H) and fracture toughness were analyzed by nanoindentation, since the elastic modulus (E) by two techniques, nanoindentation and on impulse, and to evaluate the adhesion between the zirconia and porcelain was applied Scratch Test. 7 experimental conditions were modeled and analyzed by the finite element method. The infiltrated zirconia showed a monolithic structure with rounded grain wrapped in a silica matrix, and the presence of cubic and tetragonal zirconia. The XRD showed the formation of ZrSiO4 infiltrates in groups. The monolithic modules Weibull groups showed superior to porcelain groups. With the analysis (FEA) there was no difference between the groups with the same thickness, for now the group covered with 0.5 mm of porcelain, the tensile and compressive values were higher. The infiltrated ceramic showed different microstructure, and the accession of porcelain to non- infiltrated zirconia was higher than the infiltrated zirconia.
