The Global Zirconia Ceramics Market Report provides the information related to its properties such as excellent erosion, corrosion & abrasion resistance along with temperature resistance and fracture toughness & strength.
Peri-implant soft tissue colour around titanium and zirconia abutments: a prospective randomized controlled clinical study.
The materials were fabricated from zirconia, high resistance polymer (PEEK Optima LT1, In vivo Biomaterial Solutions Inc, Lancashire, England), and hybrid ceramics (Cerasmart; GC America Inc, Alsip, IL, USA).
BruxZir Esthetic zirconia, which is an all-new formula developed from the industry-leading BruxZir Solid Zirconia, is reportedly a strong and profoundly beautiful material unique enough to represent a new category of dental ceramic.
To achieve a more natural appearance, 2 coloring procedures are available for dental prosthesis fabrication: (1) adding coloring pigments such as metal oxides to the raw zirconia powder at the production stage to obtain precolored zirconia blocks and (2) dipping the presintered, uncolored zirconia block in coloring liquids containing various metal ions, such as iron (Fe), erbium (Er), and cerium (Ce) [18].
Unlike metal abutments, which cause an unpleasant appearance in a fine gingival biotype [6], the use of zirconia abutment allows light scattering and customization for each individual case.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the stresses, resulted by dental implants with different materials (titanium alloy and zirconia) and geometrical parameters (length and diameter).
2mL aqueous solution of Pt[Cl.sub.4] (5.1 x [10.sup.-5] M) was added to 9.99 g of zirconia. The paste of the prepared sample was dried overnight in an oven at 383 K, grinded, and meshed (passing via 170 and retained at 200, US standard mesh sieves).
As opposed to metal-ceramics, ceramics containing Zirconia contain a significantly greater amount of crystalline phase, from about 35 to about 99 vol %.
