Resumo

Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) is a promising material for dentistry; however, its current formulation exhibits a mauve coloration. This study aimed to synthesize a white ZTA ceramic by doping it with 0.7 wt% magnesium oxide (MgO). Specimens (1.2 mm in thickness x 12 mm in diameter) were divided into 3 groups (n = 15): ZTA doped with chromium oxide (ZTA-Cr2O3), ZTA doped with MgO (ZTA-MgO) and ICE-Zirkon (control group). The materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy, and spectrophotometer. Biaxial flexural strength was conducted, and the Weibull modulus (m) and probability of failure were calculated. ZTA-MgO group had a white color, showing the pattern for alumina and zirconia grains in ZTA with a typical composition of the materials. It demonstrated superior BFS (915 +/- 41 MPa) and higher reliability than the ZTA-Cr2O3. ZTA-MgO proved to be able to produce white ZTA for future use in dentistry. (AU)
