Biaxial flexural strength of the bilayered disk composed of ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/A) and veneering porcelain.

Dental Materials 2018 August
OBJECTIVE: Herein we investigated the flexural strengths of bilayered ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/A) disks using different veneering porcelains.

METHODS: Commercial (VITA VM9, Cercon Ceram Kiss, and IPS e.max Ceram) and experimental porcelains (Vintage ZR with coefficient of thermal expansions: CTEs of 8.45, 9.04, and 9.61ppm/°C) with various layer thicknesses (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0mm) were applied to Ce-TZP/A disks (0.8mm thickness, n=180). Biaxial flexural tests of the specimens with the porcelain layer in tension were evaluated based on the piston-on-three-ball method (ISO 6872: 2008). The calculated strengths were statistically analyzed using the two-parameter Weibull distribution with the maximum likelihood estimation.

RESULTS: Although no significant differences were observed among the experimental porcelains, most specimens with the thinner layer of commercial porcelain showed higher Weibull characteristic strengths at the external surfaces than those with the thicker layer. Irrespective of the porcelain material, the thinner porcelain layer showed significantly higher strengths at the interface between the layers. Fracture origins were always observed at the bottom surface and continuously propagated into Ce-TZP/A substrates. The maximum tensile stress was located at the interface in specimens with the 1.0mm porcelain layer, except for IPS e.max Ceram. Porcelain delamination was dominant in the case of the higher CTE value and thicker layer thickness of the porcelain.

SIGNIFICANCE: The calculated biaxial flexural strengths and the stress distributions for bilayered Ce-TZP/A disks were dependent on the porcelain materials. Optimum behavior was observed for a combination of a small CTE mismatch between the materials and a low core-to-porcelain thickness ratio.
