Abstract

Zirconia ceramic stabilized with 3% yttria (3Y - TZP) is the most used ceramic dental materials. During the machining of zirconia blocks in the laboratory to prepare the various types of prostheses, much of the material is lost in powder form, which is subsequently discarded. This study investigates the possibility to recycling of zirconium oxide powder obtained during milling of dental crowns and bridges. Uniaxial and isostatic pressed samples were prepared, sintered and compared to the commercial material. The results indicated that the isostatic pressed samples shows good physical and mechanical properties, comparable to the commercial material, demonstrating the viability to use this recycle material in the same process.
