This study evaluated the effect of different parameters on the marginal precision of CAD/CAM-fabricated zirconia copings. Specimens(n=60) were fabricated with two different scanners and two milling systems. The copings were evaluated with respect to their mean and average maximum marginal gaps. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (α=0.05) was used to evaluate the effect of different paramete...

An yttria stabilised zirconia which exhibits a coreshell microstructure was investigated as a method to produce a zirconia with high ionic conductivity and improved thermal shock resistance. Zirconia grains consist of an outer shell of tetragonal zirconia with an inner core of monoclinic phase zirconia. Impedance spectroscopy was used to identify the e€ect of processing conditions on the grain ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the linear sintering behavior of presintered zirconia blocks of various densities. The mechanical properties of the resulting sintered zirconia blocks were then analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three experimental groups of dental zirconia blocks, with a different presintering density each, were designed in the present study. Kavo Everest® ZS bla...

INTRODUCTION Sealers based on tricalcium silicate cement aim at an interaction of the sealer with the root canal wall, alkalinity with potential antimicrobial activity, and the ability to set in a wet field. The aim of this study was to characterize and investigate the properties of a new tricalcium silicate-based sealer and verify its compliance to ISO 6876 (2012). METHODS A new tricalcium s...

Membrane separation is an alternative separation technology to the conventional method of filtration. Hence, it has attracted use in the purification and concentration of Chinese Herbal Medicine Extracts (CHMEs). The purpose of this work was to study the process of microfiltration of Tongbi liquor (TBL), a popular Chinese herbal drink, using ceramic membranes. Zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide...

Templating of cell spreading and proliferation is described that yields confluent layers of cells aligned across an entire two-dimensional surface. The template is a reactive, two-component interface that is synthesized in three steps in nanometer thick, micron-scaled patterns on silicon and on several biomaterial polymers. In this method, a volatile zirconium alkoxide complex is first deposite...
