Abstract :

Oral rehabilitation with various ceramics and zirconia has become increasingly common and the supply capacity of laboratories tends to accompany the increase in dental clinics. However, laboratories and prosthetic technicians must be guided by internal control, so that whenever failures occur, they can inform dentists. To do so, they must always have and facilitate the supply of the following data: Batch and brand of equipment, batch and brand of Zirconia disks/blocks, Batch and brand of glazes. Sintering programs, whenever requested, must be provided. The survival rates of fixed zirconia rehabilitations are known, as well as resin rehabilitations (Macedo MGFP et al 2028; Silva J et al 2019; Cardoso JA et al, 2012; Cardoso JA et al, 2023). Experienced dentists, even with this knowledge (Edwin Ruales-Carrera et al 2020), may have an undue supply of resin polymers instead of Zirconia. If the prosthetic technicians and their laboratory are serious, they shouldn't have any problem carrying out analyzes whenever there are doubts about a small possibility of occurrence of manufacturing defect or production error of Zircónia. When the prosthetic technicians do not collaborate or are not serious, generally omit information about batches and references of the supplied material, as well as the equipment. In these situations, the steps to be taken by the dentist include: analysis by SEM of the rehabilitation material after contact with the oral cavity, SEM analysis of a control rehabilitation similar material (Figure 1).
