Title: Antagonist wear of three CAD/CAM anatomic contour zirconia ceramics. Author: Park JH, Park S, Lee K, Yun KD, Lim HP. Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2014 Jan; 111(1):20-9. PubMed ID: 24199603. Abstract: STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Little clinical information exists on the antagonist wear of anatomic contour zirconia crowns. PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the 2-body wear of antagonists for 3 computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) anatomic contour zirconia ceramics and veneering porcelain when opposing natural human enamel. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Zirkonzahn Y-TZP (polished zirconia, zirconia with staining, zirconia with staining and glazing), Acucera Y-TZP, Wieland Y-TZP, and Noritake feldspathic ceramic were tested (6 groups). Eight disk-shaped specimens 15 mm in diameter and 5 mm thick were prepared for each group. Forty-eight specimens were fabricated for a wear test against maxillary premolars without caries or previous restorations with 240 000 masticatory cycles in a masticatory simulator. Before the experiment, the surface roughness of each ceramic was measured with a nanosurface 3-dimensional (3D) optical profiler. The surface of the specimens was observed at 50× and 1000× magnification with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) before and after the experiment. The data obtained were statistically analyzed by 1-way ANOVA and the Tukey test for post hoc analysis (α=.05). RESULTS: The SEM observations of each group revealed fine bubbles and porous surfaces in the Noritake feldspathic ceramic group, whereas the polished Zirkonzahn Y-TZP group, Acucera Y-TZP group, and Wieland Y-TZP group had smooth surfaces. The surface roughness of Zirkonzahn Y-TZP after staining and glazing was significantly greater than that of any other groups (P<.01). The tooth opposing the polished Zirkonzahn Y-TZP group demonstrated the least wear (1.11 ± 0.51 mm³), while Zirkonzahn Y-TZP with staining and glazing produced the greatest enamel wear (3.07 ± 0.98 mm³) among the zirconia groups. The Noritake feldspathic ceramic group showed significantly more antagonistic tooth wear than other groups (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: The antagonist wear of 3 CAD/CAM anatomic contour zirconia ceramics was significantly less than the Noritake veneering ceramic because the surface character of Y-TZP is relatively uniform and homogeneous. Zirkonzahn Y-TZP with staining and glazing was significantly more abrasive than the other zirconia specimens tested. However, it was less abrasive than the Noritake veneering ceramic.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
