PURPOSE. This in vitro study evaluated the effects of four different cements on the color attributes of a zirconia ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 40 zirconia ceramic disk specimens (0.5 mm thickness, 10 mm diameter, 0.1 mm cement space) were fabricated by a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing system. The specimens were divided into 4 groups of 10 specimens and cemented to composite substrates using four different cements including: Glass Ionomer, Panavia F2.0, Zinc Phosphate, and TempBond. The $L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$ color attributes of the specimens were measured before and after cementation by a spectrophotometer. Additionally, ${\Delta}E$ values were measured to determine color changes for the groups and then compared with the perceptional threshold of ${\Delta}E=3.3$. Repeated Measures ANOVA, Tukey Post Hoc, Bonferroni, One-way ANOVA, and One-sample t-test tests were used to analyze the data. All tests were carried out at the 0.05 level of significance. RESULTS. Statistically significant differences were detected in the ${\Delta}E$ values for Zinc Phosphate (P<.0001) and TempBond (P<.0001) groups. However, there were no statistically significant differences in this respect for Glass Ionomer (P=.99) and Panavia F2.0 (P=1) groups. The means and standard deviations of the ${\Delta}E$ values for Glass Ionomer, Panavia F2.0, Zinc Phosphate, and Tempbond groups were $2.11{\pm}0.66$, $0.94{\pm}0.39$, $5.77{\pm}0.83$, and $7.50{\pm}1.16$ Unit, respectively. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that Zinc Phosphate and Tempbond cements affected the color attributes of the tested zirconia ceramic beyond the perceptional threshold. However, Glass Ionomer and Panavia F2.0 cements created acceptable color changes.

연구목적: 인간은 누구나 아름다움을 추구하는 욕망을 가지고 있으며 치의학 분야에서도 심미란 중요한 치료목적 중의 하나이다. 최근에는 부하를 많이 받는 구치부에까지 심미적 요구가 증가됨에 따라 지르코니아를 이용한 코아의 사용이 증가되고 있다. 기본적으로 zirconium oxide의 색상은 흰색-상아색이며, 만약 하부구조물이 이미 인접치의 색조와 조화되어 있다면 색조 부여에 훨씬 유리할 것이며, 원하는 색상을 내기 위하여 필요한 도재층의 두께를 감소시킬 수 있어 더 많은 치질을 보존할 수 있을 것이다. 연구재료 및 방법: 이 연구에서는 현재 임상에서 사용되고 있는 3가지 지르코니아 시스템의 코아 색조 부여 유무와 도재층의 두께가 전부도재관의 색조에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 각 시스템의 코아에 색조 부여를 한 실험군과 부여하지 않은 실험군으로 구분하여 코아에 축성한 도재층의 두께에 따른 각각의 색조를 분광측색장치를 이용하여 CIE $L^{*}a^{*}b^{*}$ 색체계를 사용하여 색차를 비교, 분석하였다. 결과: 도재층 0.5 mm 축성시 Lava Frame Zirconia 군과 KaVo Everest Zirconia 군은 코아의 색조 부여 유무에 따라 육안으로 인지 가능한 색조 차이를 보이지 않았으나, Digident CAD/CAM Zirconia 군의 경우 육안으로 인지 가능한 색조차이를 보여 하부 코아의 색조가 충분히 피개되지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 도재층의 두께를 0.4 mm로 감소시켰을 때 코아 자체에 색조를 부여한 Lava Frame Zirconia 군과 KaVo Everest Zirconia 군의 경우 육안으로 인지 가능한 색조의 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 불투명 도재를 도포한 Digident CAD/CAM Zirconia 군의 경우 육안으로 인지 가능한 색조의 차이를 보였다. 결론: 코아 자체에 색조를 부여할 경우 지르코니아 코아 자체의 색을 피개하기 위해 도포하는 불투명 도재층 축성에 필요한 두께를 감소시킬 수 있어 색조 재현에 더욱 유리하며, 치아의 삭제량을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Zirconia has excellent mechanical properties, such as high fracture toughness, wear resistance, and flexural strength, which make it a candidate for application in bead mills as milling media as well as a variety of components. In addition, enhanced mechanical properties can be attained by adding oxide or non-oxide dispersing particles to zirconia ceramics. In this study, the densification and mechanical properties of YSZ-TiC ceramic composites with different TiC contents and sintering temperatures are investigated. YSZ - x vol.% TiC (x=10, 20, 30) system is selected as compositions of interest. The mixed powders are sintered using hot pressing (HP) at different temperatures of 1300, 1400, and 1500℃. The densification behavior and mechanical properties of sintered ceramics, such as hardness and fracture toughness, are examined.

Y-TZP(Yttria-stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) ceramics are of great interest as engineering and structural materials due to their excellent mechanical properties arising from transformation toughening, it is also reported that the 3Y-TZP($3 mol\%$ Yttria-stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal) has the best mechanical properties in Y-TZP ceramics. But to use widely for engineering and structural materials, it remains an important challenge to be able to improve its fracture toughness. In order to produce the 3Y- TZP ceramics showing much better mechanical properties, milling method adding monoclinic zirconia to 3Y-TZP was adopted and the resultant mechanical properties containing apparent density and fracture toughness were measured by using proper techniques. Experimental results showed that the 3Y-TZP specimen containing $33 wt\%$ of monoclinic zirconia, which was sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$, has the highest fracture toughness value of $11.38 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ which is three times higher than that of normal 3Y-TZP ceramics.

Color shade variation was investigated in zirconia dental blocks, prepared using commercial powders. As a reference color-shade block we used the color indexes of A2, A3.5, A4 and B3, according to the VITA classical color scale. The zirconia powders for color shade blocks showed colors of white, yellow, pink and grey, respectively, after firing at $1530^{\circ}C$. The zirconia powders were mixed according to the recipe of color shade blocks and shaped at lower pressure using a uniaxial hydrostatic press. The shaped sample was inserted into a vinyl pack and sealed in a vacuum form machine. The shaped block samples were reshaped at 450 bar using an isostatic cold press and fired at $1530^{\circ}C$ for three hours. In order to investigate the atmospheric color variation with firing temperature, the A2, A3.5, A4 and B3 sintered blocks were fired between $700^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$ under controlled atmosphere of $pN_2$ and $pO_2$. The surface color picture was taken using a smart phone camera and compared with the results obtained using the VITA classical color scale. Quantitative color index value, CIELAB, was measured using a color-meter. Above $800^{\circ}C$, the color darkness greatly increased with the increase of the reduction temperature and keeping time.

After adding 8Y-ZrO2 powders to 3Y-ZrO2 powders at ratios of 0, 33, 50, 67, and 100% by weight, the mixed yttria-stabilized zirconia specimens were fabricated into thin plate using tape~casting method and then sintered at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h in air. The crystalline structure, microstructure and electrical properties of the sintered zirconia thin plates were investigated by using X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and impedance analyser, respectively. At the temperatures higher than 75$0^{\circ}C$, the sintered thin plate with 33% 8Y-ZrO2 content shows higher mechanical properties and lower electrical resistivity than 8Y-ZrO2 thin plate which is generally used as an electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells. This is due to the fact that the zirconia thin plates with low 8Y-ZrO2 content maintain the slope of low temperature region up to high temperatures, whereas at temperatures higher than 50$0^{\circ}C$ the slope decrease in the zirconia thin plates with high 8Y-ZrO2 content.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramics with irregular grain shapes and curved grain boundaries was prepared by ceria doping. The amount of ceria doped into zirconia compacts by a dipping method were at range of 2 to 20 mol% Irregular grain shapes and curved grain boundaries were formed only inspecimens doped with more than 8mol% cerial. Ceria-doped specimens showed large grain size and low sintered density compared with pure yttria-stabilized zirconia which was due to the increase in the contents of stabilizer and cubic phase. The amount of doped ceria was larger on the surface than the inside regions and therefore mi-crostructure and phase on the surface were different from those in the inside regions. Transgranular frac-ture mode was observed ion ceria doped specimens due to irregular large grain sizes.

The 8 wt% yttria($Y_2O_3$) stabilized zirconia ($ZrO_2$), 8YSZ, a typical thermal barrier coating (TBC) for turbine systems, was fabricated under different starting powder conditions and coating parameters by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) coating process. Four different starting powders were prepared by conventional spray dry method with different additive and process parameter conditions. As a result, large- and small-size spherical-type particles and Donut-type particles were obtained. Dense structure of 8YSZ coating was produced when small size spherical-type or Donut-type particles were used. On the other hand, 8YSZ coating with a porous structure was formed from large-size spherical-type particles. Furthermore, a segmented coating structure with vertical cracks was observed after post heat treatment on the surface of dense structured coating by argon plasma flame at an appropriate gun distance and power condition.

The continuous compaction response of zirconia powders prepared by different processing treatments was investigated. Though the yield point could be or not below 1 MPa, the change of slope was always observed at high pressure range around 60 MPa. Powder compaction was mainly governed by second compaction stage and compaction rate was decreased with increasing forming pressure. Rotary vacuum dried powder favored a high compaction density, whereas freeze dried and calcined powders favored an increase in the pressing efficiency. In order to extract more reliable information about powder compaction, it was necessary to use not only compaction response diagram but also compaction rate diagram.
