Mechanical performance of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics for dental crown restoration

Conclusion The pre-sintering temperature has a significant effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of polymer-infiltrated zirconia ceramics and the optimal pre-sintering temperature is 1150°C. Clinical significance Specimen pre-sintered at 1150°C shows tooth-like mechanical properties, suggesting a promising restorative material in dental clinic. Moreover, the synthesis process is simple and can be easily performed in a prosthesis laboratory.
