摘要Background The low-temperature resistance aging performance of Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) is the key effective factor that influences the long-term success rate of prosthesis.The objective of this study was to test and compare the aging performances for resisting low temperature of Lava Frame,Cercon Smart,and Upcera Yttria-stabilized zirconia core materials,via analyzing the micro and the crystal phases of the materials,and measure the three-point bending strength and the fracture toughness.Methods The three zirconia green bodies were prepared as 60 test samples for three-point bending strength and as 60 test samples for fracture toughness.The test samples for three-point bending strength and fracture toughness were assigned to five groups and were treated respectively for 0,5,10,15,and 20 hours to observe the micro and the crystal phases of the test samples.Then the three-point bending strength and fracture toughness were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD).Results The m phase content of Lava Frame was raised from 7.70％ to 13.01％; the m phase content of Cercon Smart was raised from 4.95％ to 8.53％; and Lava Frame is raised from 10.84％ to 35.18％.The three-point bending strengths of the three zirconia core materials were higher than 1100 MPa and the fracture toughness was higher than 3 MPa·m1/2.The three-point bending strength and the fracture toughness of Upcra zirconia decreased the most,followed by Lava Frame,and then by Cercon Smart.Conclusion The aging resistance sequences of the three zirconia core materials are,from strong to weak,Cercon Smart,Lava Frame,and Upcera.
