Resumo

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mechanical fatigue cycling using the step-stress approach along with hydrothermaldegradation (134 ºC with a constant pressure of 2 bars for 20 h), and a novel intercalated hydrothermal/fatigue aging protocol on different aspects of the aging resistance of three generations of dental zirconias. Methods: “Y”Z T (VITA), INCORIS “T”ZI (Dentsply Sirona) and “K”ATANA UTML (Noritake Kuraray) − 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, respectively-, zirconia disks (N = 153), were divided into 6 groups (n = 3) for monotonic testing and 9 groups (n = 15) for mechanical fatigue testing, according to 3 proposed treatments for each zirconia: CF (control – only mechanical fatigue cycling); AF (aging in hydrothermal reactor at 134 °C for 20 h + mechanical fatigue cycling); AFA (Alternating protocol: 4 steps of 5 h of hydrothermal aging intercalated with mechanical fatigue cycling). Mechanical fatigue aging was performed according to the step-stress approach through biaxial flexural setup (piston-on-3-balls, initial strength: 100 MPa, step: 50 MPa/10,000, frequency: 20 Hz) until failure. Data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Mantel-Cox test (α = 0.05), in addition to Weibull analysis. Fractured disks were analyzed in stereomicroscope, Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Diffraction. Results: Continuous hydrothermal and mechanical fatigue cycling decreased the fatigue strength of YAF group (516 ± 38 MPa), while the alternating protocol increased it (730 ± 58 MPa). KATANA UTML showed no differences for both treatments and did not undergo t-m phase transformation. The TAF group showed the highest fatigue strength (810 ± 76 MPa) and cycles for failure (147,000.00 cycles). The fracture origin for all specimens was on the tensile side in pre-existing defects. Significance: INCORIS TZI zirconia had higher fatigue strength and survival rates after hydrothermal and mechanical fatigue aging. Although less resistant, KATANA UTML did not suffer chemical degradation.
