Y-TZP and In-mouth Low Thermal Degradation: A Prospective Clinical Study

August 6, 2019 updated by: Mainjot Amélie, University of Liege

Low Thermal Degradation of Monolithic Zirconia Prostheses: an up to 5-year Original Prospective Clinical Study Using ex Vivo Analyses

The objective of this work is to study in-mouth aging and LTD of monolithic zirconia restorations. Microstructural changes characteristic of LTD processes, wear, and clinical behaviour following standard parameters will be evaluated. Notably Raman spectroscopy and 3D laser surface analysis will be used, directly on the restorations, which will be removed at regular intervals.The working hypothesis is that LTD process is very slow at the scale at the lifespan of dental prostheses.
