Table 5 lists the various materials used. A photopolymer resin (Clear Resin, Formlabs Inc., Somerville, MA, USA) was used as the base material for 3D printing. Highly translucent Y2O3-stabilized zirconia (Zpex4, Tosoh Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was used as the filler to produce composite resins.

A summary of the experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1.
The three highly translucent zirconia grades used in this study were 3Y-TZP (Zpex, Tosoh, Tokyo, Japan), 4Y-PSZ (Zpex 4, Tosoh), and 5Y-PSZ (Zpex Smile, Tosoh). Forty disk-shaped specimens with diameters and thicknesses of 14.5 mm and 1.2 mm, respectively, were prepared for each zirconia grade (Table 1). These specimens were assigned to four subgroups (n=10) according to the sintering temperatures i.e., 1,450°C, 1,500°C, 1,550°C, and 1,600°C. All the specimens were treated in the sintering furnace (Esthemat Sinta 2, Shofu, Kyoto, Japan) with a holding time of 2 h. The disk-shaped fully sintered specimens were prepared via mechanical polishing using #325, #800, and #1000 SiC papers, in sequence. Finally, all the polished specimens were thermally treated at 1,000°C for 10 min to eliminate any potential residual stress.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
