Resumo

This study evaluated the effect of different air particle abrasion protocols on the biaxial flexural strength and structural stability of zirconia ceramics. Zirconia ceramic specimens (ISO 6872) (Lava, 3M ESPE) were obtained (N=336). The specimens (N=118, n=20 per group) were randomly assigned to one of the air-abrasion protocols: Gr1: Control (as-sintered); Gr2: 50 mu m Al2O3 (2.5 bar); Gr3: 50 mu m Al2O3 (3.5 bar); GT4: 110 mu m Al2O3(2.5 bar); Gr5: 110 mu m Al2O3 (3.5 bar); GT6: 30 mu m SiO2 (2.5 bar) (CoJet); Gr7: 30 mu m SiO2(3.5 bar); Gr8: 110 mu m SiO2 (2.5 bar) (Rocatec Plus); and Gr9: 110 mu m SiO2 (3.5 bar) (duration: 20 s, distance: 10 mm). While half of the specimens were tested immediately, the other half was subjected to cyclic loading in water (100,000 cycles; 50 N, 4 Hz, 37 degrees C) prior to biaxial flexural strength test (ISO 6872). Phase transformation (t -> m), relative amount of transformed monoclinic zirconia (F-M), transformed zone depth (TZD) and surface roughness were measured. Particle type (p=0.2746), pressure (p=0.5084) and cyclic loading (p=0.1610) did not influence the flexural strength. Except for the air-abraded group with 110 pm Al2O3 at 3.5 bar, all air-abrasion protocols increased the biaxial flexural strength (MPa) (Control.-aged: 1030 +/- 153, Controlaged: 1138 +/- 138; Experimental(aged): 1307 +/- 184-1554 +/- 124; Experiment(alagea): 1308 +/- 118-1451 +/- 135) in both non-aged and aged conditions, respectively. Surface roughness (Ra) was the highest with 110 pm Al0O3(0.84 mu m. F-M values ranged from 0% to 27.21%, higher value for the Rocatec Plus (110 mu m SiO2) and 110 pm Al2O3 groups at 3.5 bar pressure. TZD ranged between 0 and 1.43 mu m, with the highest values for Rocatec Plus and 110 mu m Al2O3 groups at 3.5 bar pressure. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU)
