Question 281 (part 2) · LDEK · Prosthodontic materials

Indicate true statements regarding preparation of restorations made out of zircon oxide:

  1. A. preparation of restorations made out of zircon oxide are made with fine-grained burs air-cooled, due to the risk of overheating the material.
  2. B. use of coarse-grained burns causes scratches and accelerates the transformation of pyramidal to monoclinic phase.
  3. C. overheating causes the consolidation of height and linear changes of ceramics crystals.
  4. D. use of coarse-grained burns restricts the overheating effect and protects against the chipping of veneering ceramics.
  5. E. we minimalize the pressure and reduce the amount of water in order to avoid the fracturing of zircon structure.
Hint

Think about which surface damage triggers the stress-induced phase transformation in zirconia and how adjustment should be cooled.
