Abstract

The degree of the indentation damage and strength degradation for 3Y-TZP ceramics and (Y,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ dental implant composites was investigated under the Hertzian cyclic fatigue. Fatigue tests were conducted at contact loads of 500 to 3000 N and up to $10^6$ cycles in exact in vitro environments. At 500 N, no strength degradation and crack generation was observed up to $5{\times}10^5$ contact cycles. Fatigue properties of 3Y-TZP ceramics was superior to (Y,Nb)-TZP/ㅍ composites due to stress relief caused by the phase transformation from tettagonal to monoclinic phase. As contact load increased, the drastic reduction in strength was found when the damage transition from ring to radial crack occurred. The extent of strength degradation was more pronounced in vitro environments probably due to chemical corrosion of artificial saliva through cracks introduced during large numbers of contacts.

인공치아용 3Y-TZP와 (Y,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ 복합체를 유사 구강분위기인 인공타액 하에서 500-3000N의 하중 조건으로 $10^6$ 횟수까지 헤르찌안 반복하중 피로특성을 조사하였다. 500N의 하중에서 $5{\times}10^5$까지 반복피로 실험결과, 강도 저하 및 균열 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 피로특성은 SY-TZP가 (T,Nb)-TZP/$Al_2O_3$ 복합체보다 상전이에 의한 응역회복 때문에 우수하였다. 하중값이 증가함에 따라 링 균열에서 방사상 균열로 전이되었을 때 급격한 강도 저하 현상이 발생하였다. 강도 저하 현상은 유사 구강 분위기하에서 반복 하중 접촉 시 발생한 균열을 통해 침투한 인공타액의 화학적 침식으로 더욱 가속화 되었다.
