Abstract:
The use of ceramics in dental prosthesis is due to the aesthetic properties. The CAD/CAM system allows making ceramic restorations, generating a large amount of waste, in powder form, during the roughing and milling cutter of the ceramic piece, which currently is thrown away. The aim of this work is to study the reuse of the waste obtained from zirconia CAD/CAM system for its application in dental prosthesis. It was studied the residue from the milling of commercial stabilized zirconia blocks with 3% of yttria (3Y-TZP). The residue was characterized by chemical composition, X-ray diffraction, particle size and differential and gravimetric thermal analysis. The improvement residue followed two routes: deagglomeration in a ball mill and without deagglomeration. Both materials were used for preparation of specimens of zirconia. It were sintered at 1180oC then infiltrated with lanthanum glass at 1140oC. The infiltrated specimens and the specimens extracted from the commercial blocks (Zirkonzahn ®) were sintered at temperatures of 1300, 1400 and 1500oC.After sintering its were characterized by apparent porosity, scanning electron microscopy, flexural strength in three points and Vickers micro hardness. It was observed in the results that the residue consists of stabilized zirconia with 3% yttria (3Y-TZP) and organic matter. The deagglomeration decreases the size of the aggregates and favored the sintering process. The infiltrated specimens do not have adequate resistance to infrastructures, the sintered bodies to 1500oC presented close porosity obtained by the scanbodies. Resistance and micro hardness of bodies of waste reached the maximum value of 1079 HV for the bodies with no deagglomeration zirconia (ZSD) and 1523 HV for the bodies with zirconia desaglomerada (ZCD), after burning the 1500oC.
