all ceramic materials part 2 Flashcards
what do flaws in ceramics lead to
Stress concentrations (magnifiers)
strength of ceramics
strong theoretical strength
weak actual strength due to flaws
why do ceramics have more flaws than metals
Cuz they cant reform cracks
where does stress appear when placing glass on a complicent surface
tensile strength on the bottom side of the glass
how does chemical strengthing work
add larger attoms that press the crack togethre to create compressive strength
where is the sorse of stress in an anterior crown
directly under contact
what is the source of hoop stress
due to tooth squat leading to expansion on the base of the crown
what teeth are likely to have hoop stress
posterior crowns
what does polishing and glazing due for a crown
removal of flaws from the surface
does glass normally react with water
no
how does water lead to cracking
Comes in and forms hydrogen bonds breaking the glass bonds
steps of crack propogation with water
functional load applied stress on the bottom of the crown existing cracks strained water enters crack extends
the most common way to strengthen a ceramic
Crystalline reinforcement
what is dental porcelain made of
Noncrystalline/amorphous silica based glass
minor components of crystalline silicates (quartz or crystobilite, leucite (NOT lucite)
how does crystalline reinforcement work
deflects cracks
