Description
Summary:Abstract Statement of problem Veneered zirconia restorations are widely used in prosthetic applications. However, these restorations often fail because of chipping of the veneer porcelain. Surface treatments of zirconia core materials may affect the connection between the 2 layers. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface treatments on the biaxial flexural strength, phase transformation, and mean surface roughness of different bilayered porcelain/zirconia ceramics. Material and methods Forty disk-shaped specimens were obtained for each material (Kavo and Noritake) and divided into 4 (n=10) groups (control, airborne-particle abraded, ground, and ground and airborne-particle abraded). Airborne-particle abrasion was performed with 110-μm Al2 O3 particles for 15 seconds and at 400 kPa. Diamond rotary instruments with 100-μm grain size were used for grinding. The monoclinic phase transformation and surface roughness of the specimens were measured. Then, the specimens were veneered and subjected to a biaxial flexural strength test to calculate the Weibull moduli ( m values) and the stresses occurring at the layers, outer surfaces of the bilayer, and interfaces of the layers. Results The Kavo airborne-particle abraded group showed higher strength values in both layers ( P
