Rhombohedral Phase Formation in Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Induced by Dental Technical Tools and Its Impact on Dental Applications

In the study the influence of different dental technical tools on the surface temperature
and phase composition of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made of yttria-partially stabilized zirconia
polycrystals (3Y-/4Y-/5Y-PSZ) was investigated. FDPs were fabricated by using computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM). The FDPs were treated with a contra-angle handpiece equipped with different
burs and polishers. The resulting surface temperatures were measured with a thermographic camera,
and the resulting phase transformations were investigated by X-ray diffraction and quantified by
Rietveld refinement. Processing with burs resulted in no phase transformation, but a preferred
orientation shift. Using coarse polisher induced a phase transformation to the rhombohedral phase,
while fine polishers produced no relevant phase transformations and no preferred orientation shift.
Compared to the monoclinic phase (ca. 9% theoretical volume increase), which is associated with
low-temperature degradation (LTD), the rhombohedral phase is much more voluminous (ca. 15%
theoretical volume increase) and distorted and, therefore, has a greater degradation potential.
