Advances of yttrium-containing zirconia materials in dental clinical applications
Yttrium-containing zirconia ceramic(YCZC)has been widely used in field of implant and restorative dentistry.It has good mechanical and biological properties when compared with other types of zirconia ceramics.Different types of zirconia ceramics have been used in clinical application,such as Yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal(Y-TZP)with high mechanical properties,and Yttrium-partially stabilized zirconia(Y-PSZ)with high aesthetic properties.Therefore,understanding the physical and chemical properties of different YCZC can improve the clinical success of dental restorations.This article summarizes the available literature concerning the physical and chemical properties of YCZC and their clinical applications in the field of dentistry.
