Physical and chemical conditions for the long-term functioning of restorations with a zirconia framework

The aim of the study is to determine the optimal physico-chemical conditions and factors for the long-term perspective of zirconia-based restorations. Information was searched in English without time limits in the PubMed electronic database, a Google search and literature lists of relevant studies and reviews. Full-text articles from 2003 to 2018 were selected, in which studies of frameworks made of zirconium dioxide, a protocol for changing firing temperatures, and a description of the structure are described. Totally 79 articles were identified. After the selection of articles on the inclusion criteria and removal of duplicate articles, the total number was 5. The review of the literature included studies of 3 types of zirconium: "3Y-TZP", "ATZ", 12Ce-TZP". In a number of studies, the authors studied experimentally the influence of the oral environment on the long-term functioning of zirconium, and a number of authors conducted a study on the effect of heating and cooling gradients, as well as mechanical processing of zirconium frameworks. This literature review has shown the optimal physicochemical conditions and factors for the long-term prospects for restorations with a zirconia-based framework, starting from its composition, technical and laboratory stages, and pumping over the oral cavity factors. The combination of these factors can reduce the effect of the transition of zirconium dioxide from the tetragonal to the monoclinic phase, as well as reduce the stress outcomes resulting from the processing of zirconia frameworks and their facing layer. © 2020 University of Dicle.
