The effects of mechanical and hydrothermal aging on microstructure and biaxial flexural strength of an anterior and a posterior monolithic zirconia.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the effect of hydrothermal aging (H), mechanical cycling (M), and the combination of hydrothermal plus mechanical cycling (H+M) on biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and microstructure of two monolithic zirconias, indicated for anterior (AMZ) or posterior restorations (PMZ) and a conventional zirconia (IZr). METHODS:Disc specimens of each material (n=12) were submitted to: i) H (8h in autoclave at 134°C); ii) M (106 cycles, at 40% of BFS); and iii) H+M. BFS was measured (ISO-6872) and Weibull modulus (m) and the characteristic strength (σ0) were calculated. crystalline phase composition analyzed by XRD, and grain size measured by MEV analysis. RESULTS:XRD analysis showed AMZ was not susceptible to monoclinic transformation in any treatment. Conventional zirconia (IZr) and PMZ had monoclinic transformation only after H and H+M. BFS of AMZ was lower than PMZ and IZr. Cubic phase was found in all conditions for AMZ and IZr, while it was identified in PMZ only after H and H+M. BFS of AMZ was affected by M and H+M. For IZr and PMZ the unique difference detected in BFS was in the comparison of H to M. H treatment induced lower Weibull modulus, but characteristic strength was compatible with the BFS results. AMZ grain size (μm2) was 8.6 times larger than PMZ grains, and 13.6 times larger than IZr grains. CONCLUSIONS:AMZ showed the largest mean grain size, had the lowest BFS values, and was affected when mechanical cycling was involved. Monoclinic transformation was not found in any treatment for AMZ, but was found in IZr and PMZ when hydrothermal aging was used alone or when combined with mechanical cycling. PMZ showed similar behavior to the IZr. H induced to higher fracture probability. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:Translucent monolithic dental zirconia available on the market may behave differently under simulated oral aging. The relationship between composition and microstructure determines their properties presumably, and clinical performance.
