Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Zirconia is considered to be one of the promising prosthodontics materials because of its high strength, high hardness, excellent wear resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. However, the development of zirconia is hindered owing to the uncertainty in long-term stability of zirconia all-ceramic crowns such as the cracking (chipping) of veneering porcelain and deterioration of mechanical properties of zirconia dental crowns under intraoral conditions.

 

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the preparation of zirconia bioceramic and its application progress in the field of prosthodontics.

 

METHODS: The properties, crystal structure, preparation and use of zirconia in prosthodontics were reviewed. Reasons that affected the stability of zirconia were also discussed. The future development of zirconia was forecasted.

 

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Preparation of zirconia bioceramics involves the following aspects: powder synthesis, biscuit molding, and ceramic sintering. To improve the istability of zirconia all-ceramic crowns, we optimize the preparation of zirconia powder to promote the purity, mechanical properties, biological properties and stability. Furthermore, it is necessary to explore the effects of crystal nucleation, growth, second phase and grain size on crystal stability and biomechanical properties of the tooth abutment, as well as to conduct an in-depth theoretical analysis on the effect of tooth abutment and lattice matching of porcelain crowns on the interface.
