Innovative Study on Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate Ceramics in Prosthodontics: Mechanical and Biocompatibility Insights

Posted: November 18, 2024
The article examines the mechanical strength and adhesive cementation techniques of zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics in fixed prosthodontics. Through in vitro testing, zirconia demonstrated superior mechanical efficiency, while lithium disilicate showed comparable adhesive strength. Both materials exhibited good biocompatibility, with lithium disilicate CAD being the most biocompatible. The study suggests using airborne-particle abrasion and silane with 10-MDP for optimal adhesion of lithium disilicate. Overall, the research highlights the importance of material selection and cementation protocols for successful restorations.
