    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To investigate two-body wear (2BW) and fracture load (FL) of monolithic ceramics after different surface pretreatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Zirconia (MOZ), lithium-disilicate (LIT), and leucite-reinforced (LEU) specimens (n = 60/group) were manufactured with CAD/CAM-technology and underwent (n = 15/subgroup): 1) grinding + polishing (GrPo), 2) grinding + glazing (GrGz), 3) grinding (Gr), or 4) glazing (Gz). Scanning electron microscope (n = 3/subgroup) and 3D measurements of the ceramic crowns and antagonists (N = 180) were performed to determine 2BW before and after 120,000/1,200,000 masticatory cycles. FL was examined for all specimens (N = 180). Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé post hoc, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney-U, and Wilcoxon (p < 0.05). RESULTS: MOZ presented the highest FL independent on pretreatment (6960-9250 N), while LEU (1405-2320 N) showed the lowest (p < 0.001). Ceramic and antagonist wear increased between 120,000 and 1,200,000 masticatory cycles (p < 0.001). For pretreatments GrPo, GrGz, and Gz, MOZ showed the lowest wear of the ceramic, while causing the highest antagonist wear (p < 0.001). GrPo resulted in the lowest wear for MOZ (p < 0.001), with Gr leading to the highest antagonist wear (p = 0.008). LIT specimens presented the highest wear of the ceramic and antagonist after Gz (p < 0.001), while GrPo resulted in the lowest antagonist wear (p < 0.001). GrGz led to the highest antagonist wear for LEU (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: With FL exceeding maximum masticatory forces, the three tested ceramics can be recommended for restorations, even in posterior regions. While glazing resulted in higher wear and impaired FL, polishing improved mechanical properties while largely preserving the antagonist. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: While surface pretreatment after grinding is vital to ensure a ceramic's optimal mechanical properties, glazing and polishing varies with regard to material properties, costs, and time.
