Nanofillers as game-changers for Restorative Dental Applications<\/h2>\n

Nano Yttria Stabilized Zirconia<\/h3>\n

\"DentistCombining hardness and transparency has been a challenge in dental restoration<\/strong>.
\nIndeed, polycrystalline transparent ceramics have unique physical, mechanical, and optical properties that make them ideal for various applications, including dental restoration. However, the fabrication of these ceramics requires high temperatures and long densification times to eliminate residual pores, which can scatter light and reduce transparency.<\/p>\n

Luckily, recent advancements in nano-sized Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) have opened up new possibilities<\/a><\/strong> whenever a combination of optical and mechanical properties is required.<\/p>\n

YSZ is known for its excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and fracture toughness, and it can also be engineered to exhibit optical transparency by adjusting the yttria content, particularly in the 8 mol.% range. Therefore, optimized chemical compositions, such as those of the zilight\u00ae range<\/strong><\/a>, allow to achieve an excellent isotropic refractive index<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, research<\/a> carried out with Mathym\u00ae aqueous colloidal suspensions of yttria-doped zirconia nanoparticles has demonstrated that the scattering efficiency of residual pores decreases significantly as the pore size decreases into the nano-range. In conclusion, reducing the grain size of polycrystalline ceramics to less than 100 nm can increase transparency while maintaining high mechanical performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nano Ytterbium Fluoride<\/h3>\n

YbF3 nanoparticles has gained recognition as a promising nanofiller in dental composites, that aims at providing functional, durable, and esthetic dental restorations. The benefits of Mathym\u00ae filixio\u00ae<\/a><\/strong> nanodispersions include:<\/p>\n
