Influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and the physical and mechanical properties of dental highly translucent zirconia
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: values smaller than 5% were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A homogenous microstructure, with no residual porosity and grains sized between 500 and 450 nm for group A and B, respectively, was observed. Crystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia was exclusively registered in the X-ray diffractograms. The mechanical properties decreased after the heat treatment procedure, but the differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The produced zirconia ceramic materials can be safely (i.e., according to the ISO 6872) used in extensive fixed prosthetic restorations, such as substructure ceramics for three-unit prostheses involving the molar restoration and substructure ceramics for prostheses involving four or more units. Consequently, milling technology is an effective manufacturing technology for producing zirconia substructures for dental fixed all-ceramic prosthetic restorations.

Metal-ceramic restorations fabricated by the conventional method have a lower marginal fit compared to zirconia restorations fabricated by the CAD/CAM method.
“this type of restoration fabricated by the conventional method has a lower marginal fit compared to zirconia restorations fabricated by the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) method”
From Potential Impact of Prosthetic Biomaterials on the Periodontium: A Comprehensive Review (2023) · cites this paper as [21]
The Introduction (page unavailable) describes CAD/CAM zirconia restorations as having dimensional precision, which supports the claim's general point about their fit. It does not assess marginal fit or compare CAD/CAM zirconia with conventionally fabricated metal-ceramic restorations, so the claimed difference is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
