Description
Summary:In many centers around the world, research studies are carried out on the mechanical strength of dental materials and glued joints. A literature review shows the variety of testing techniques related to analyzing the strength and durability of the material itself and the glued joints. In dental ceramics, zirconium dioxide is most often used as a base material, and chemically it consists of 97% ZrO2 and 3% Y2O3. This study was to determine the mechanical properties of zirconium dioxide under different environmental conditions. The material is used for the production of dental crowns and tooth bridges in the CAD/CAM technology. This medium is currently one of the most advanced-generation materials used for prosthetic and implant restorations. They were then subjected to a three-point bending test on the Instron ElektroPlus E3000 durability machine. Storage conditions and time have a positive influence on reducing variation in zirconium resistance for active forces and destructive stresses.
