Resumo

Objectives: To characterize the optical and mechanical properties of a commercial and in-house translucent Y-TZP before and after aging in autoclave or hydrothermal reactor. Methods: In-house experimental discs were obtained through uniaxial and isostatic pressing a translucent Y-TZP powder and sintering at 1,550 degrees C/1 h. Commercial discs were milled from pre-sintered blocks fabricated with the same powder through uniaxial and isostatic pressing and sintering. Discs were allocated into three groups ac-cording to aging condition: immediate, aged via autoclave, or reactor (134 degrees C, 20 h, 2.2 bar). Crystalline content and microstructure were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Residual compressive stress (CS) was determined by Raman spectroscopy. Optical properties were determined by the contrast ratio (CR) and translucency parameter (TP) using reflectance data. Mechanical properties were assessed by Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and biaxial flexural strength tests. Results: XRD and SEM revealed a typical Y-TZP crystalline content, chiefly tetragonal phase, and a dense crystalline matrix for both processing protocols. Reactor aging triggered a more pronounced t-m transformation relative to autoclave. In-house and commercial Y-TZPs demonstrated similar CR and TP, with reactor aging significantly increasing their translucency. Similarly, reactor aging influenced Vickers hardness and fracture toughness. In-house processed Y-TZP clearly demonstrated the presence of CS, whereas commercial Y-TZP showed no presence of CS. Non-aged in-house Y-TZP resulted in significantly lower characteristic strength relative to commercial Y-TZP. While aging protocols significantly increased the characteristic strength of inhouse Y-TZP, reactor significantly decreased commercial Y-TZP characteristic strength. Both Y-TZP processing protocols demonstrated high reliability at high-stress missions, with no detrimental effect of aging. Conclusions: Laboratory aging methodology significantly influenced optical and mechanical properties of a commercial and in-house translucent Y-TZP. (AU)
