Type of Failure of Zirconia-Based Ceramics in Dental Laboratory in Misurata, Libya

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zirconia (ZrO2) is used to fix restorations as a core material because of its mechanical properties, aesthetics, and compatibility. This study aims to analyze the failure types in ZrO2-based restoration fabricated in a dental laboratory in Misurata, Libya. Data were collected from laboratory records for a 30-day period with follow-up for five months. About 6% of the total restorations had defects with different percentages, 46% of which were fractures, 29% of which had weak bonding between ZrO2 frameworks and veneers, 18% of which had cracks, and 7% of which had shade defects. Although ZrO2 is a suitable material for dental restorations, defects may occur and lead to the failure of dental restorations. A thorough study is necessary to analyze the cause of failurein zirconia-based restorationsand to improve the properties to produce a versatile dental restorative material.
