Abstract
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of silica dipping infiltration by sol-gel method performed in the presence of catalysts in mechanical properties, microstructure and surface characteristics of a Y-TZP Zirconia as well as the interfacial energy (toughness Fracture) in bond to resin cement. Disks are made of Y-TZP and Zirconia divided into 5 groups, infiltrated by silic…
