Effect of Acid Mixtures on Surface Properties and Biaxial Flexural Strength of As-Sintered and Air-Abraded Zirconia.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of application time of an acid mixture solution on the surface roughness, phase transformation, and biaxial flexural strength of 3Y-TZP after sintering or air abrasion. For the biaxial flexural strength measurement, 220 3Y-TZP disk-shaped specimens were prepared after as-sintering or air abrasion. The etching solution comprised a mixture of hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, methyl alcohol, and purified water. The samples were divided into 11 subgroups according to the etching times (Control, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 min). The results showed that acid treatment on both as-sintered and air-abraded 3Y-TZP surfaces increased the surface roughness. However, it had no significant effects on the monoclinic phase or flexural strength of as-sintered zirconia. The monoclinic phase and flexural strength of air-abraded zirconia increased sharply after air abrasion; however, they gradually decreased after acid treatment, to a similar level to the case of the untreated surface. Surface treatment with acid mixture increased the roughness, but the lack of increase of monoclinic phase is thought to be because the loose monoclinic particles remaining on the surface were removed through the etching process.

Project description:One therapeutical alternative in the treatment of functional disorders is the use of printed oral splints. The mechanical properties of these materials are highly essential to their clinical effectiveness, and their performance may vary depending on factors such as cleaning, post-polymerization, or their orientation during construction. The objective of this in vitro investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected materials in terms of their biaxial flexural strength in relation to the criteria listed above. Splint materials were used in the printing of 720 discs. The printing process was carried out in different orientations in relation to the building platform. Either an automatic or manual cleaning process was performed on the samples. For post-polymerization, either an LED or Xenon light was utilized. A piston-on-three-ball test was used to measure the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of the materials after they were stored in water for either 24 h or 60 days. The homogeneity of the data was controlled by employing the Levene method, and the differences between the groups were analyzed using the ANOVA and Bonferroni methods. After being stored for twenty-four hours, the mean BFS ranged anywhere from 79 MPa to 157 MPa. Following a period of sixty hours, the BFS exhibited a substantial drop and revealed values that ranged from 72 to 127 MPa. There was no significant difference that could be identified between the materials or between the various cleaning processes. The results of post-polymerization showed that the LED light produced higher means than the Xenon light did. In terms of position, the mean values varied greatly, with 0°'s mean value being 101 MPa, 45°'s mean value being 102 MPa, and 90°'s mean value being 115 MPa. The use of a build orientation of 90° and post-polymerization with LED light resulted in significantly increased biaxial flexural strength. According to this study, this design should be implemented in order to ensure that splint materials have the highest possible strength.
