All Ceramic Flashcards
main reasons to use all ceramics
- esthetics
- translucent - color stability
- material stability
- biocompatibility
biggest problem
brittle
- dont deform under stress all that much before they catastrophically fracture
isse with biocompatbility that is over come with all ceramics
mercury free and metal free
empress is an example of?
low strenght PRESSABLE
- and because of properties it is used more in the anterior
pressable ceramic examples
empress OPC Cerpress Finesse Microstar Bitapress Cergo Fortress
improve ceramics through?
MICROSTRUCTURE
- through increase in crystal content
- Decreasing the size/ crystal size
network – interconnected materials
phase change – “tranformation toughening”
translucency - chemistry and crystal composition
empress aka?
flexural strenght and % crystals and dimension
leucite glass ceramic
45% crystal at 10-15 microns with 120 MPa flexural stregth
emax aka?
flexural strenght and % crystals and dimension
lithium disilicate
70% crystal at 2-7 microns with 380 MPa flexural strength
Celtra press vs emax and implicaiton
emax= lithium disilicate
celtra press = lithium silicate - reduced crystal size down to /5 microns so improved fracture resistance with 10% wt zirconia reinforced
*how are esthetics improved with all ceramics?
MORE TRANSLUCENT
CAD/ CAM stands for?
Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Machining
what is subtractive and what is additive in CAD/CAM components
subtractive –> milling
additive -> printing
components of CAD/CAM that can affect accuracy
scanner system
bur size
feed rate – milling speed
materials – need to be resistant to damage
bur size in milling machines?
smaller – more accurate
two types of chair side cameras
- cerec AC bluecam
2. CEREC omnicam
resolution
ability to distinguish between two points
shorter wavelength?
HIGHER RESOLUTION
wavelenght in bluecam
.4 microns - very small
T/F resolution increases as wavelength decreases?
TRUE
major differences between omni scan and blue scan
omni = no powder and color
- VIDEO
- more technique sensitive
blue cam - powder /no color
why use CAD/CAM
reliable and reproducible *
design - virtual FABRICATION material - NOVEL, GOOD CLINICAN RESULTS
FABRICATION TIME
implants are placed how? very general and number one rule
restoration driven
virtually integrated patient?
what we are trying to get to
- incooporate a virtual facebow, etc
- virtual articulator
- basically all scans and movements into one
TI base restoration options
- screw retained full contour one piece
2. screw retained custom abutments with seperate bonded crown
crew retained custom abutments with separate bonded crown features
flexibility in material combinations / esthetics
- compensation for mis-alignment
features of screw retained full contour
how many pieces?
one piece
- less steps’
- high load bearing capacity
- cannot completely adjust for mis-aligned implants
monolithic material definition
formed or composed of material without joints or seams
