Abstract

The excellent mechanical properties of zirconium YTZ-P make it a viable option for constructing the framework of metal-free crowns. However, recent studies indicate the occurrence of failures in ceramic veneer crowns with zirconia framework. The aim of this study was to use three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis to evaluate the mechanical behavior of ceramic veneers, partially debonded or bonded, over zirconia frameworks under two conditions of veneer/framework bond integrity and support by implant or natural tooth. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to compare the mechanical behavior of ceramic veneers on zirconia and metal frameworks under two conditions of bond integrity. The groups were created with the crowns partially bonded (0.3 frictional coefficient) or completely bonded): C - Crown with silver/palladium framework cemented onto natural tooth; Cz - Ceramic crown with zirconia framework cemented onto natural tooth; Ci - Crown with silver/palladium framework cemented on implant morse taper; CZI - Ceramic crown with zirconia framework cemented onto implant morse taper. The test loads consisted of 49 N applied to the palatal surface at 45º to the long axis of the crown and 25.5 N applied perpendicular to the incisal edge of the crown. The maximum principal stress (?max), shear stress (?max) and deformation (?max) were calculated for the ceramic veneer and the von Mises stress (?vM) was determined for the framework. Partially debonded of the veneer to the framework (friction coefficient 0.3) increased stress concentrations in all structures. The metal-ceramic crowns experienced lower stress values than all ceramic crowns in models simulating a perfect bond between the ceramic and framework. Frameworks cemented to tooth exhibited greater stress than frameworks cemented to implants regardless of the material used. The incomplete bonding between the ceramic veneer and the framework prosthesis affects the mechanical performance of the ceramic veneer, making it susceptible to failure independent of the material framework or full crown support (AU)
