Q

Two categories of ceramics

A
  1. Glass based
    • silica as main component
    • More esthetic than the non-glass based
    • ex. Feldspathic, leucite-reinforces, and lithium disilicate
  2. Non-glass based
    -Crystalline in nature
    - Strongest but dull
    • ex. Alumina and zirconia

Q

Porcelain

A

describes a glass-like tooth-colored dental material
- Used more on anteriors, very esthetic
- Porcelain veneers and low stress areas
becomes more fracture resistant ones bonded to a surface

Q

Lithium disilicate

A

Stronger ceramic
- Used in anterior and posterior
- very esthetic, because of high translucency
- popular for veneers and crowns

16
Q

Lithium dislocate and zirconium are much ___ than porcelain

A

Stronger

17
Q

ceramics are strong enough to be used in the posterior, besides on

A

bruxers

18
Q

Leucite-reinforced ceramics ( empress)

A

estetic
Work well for inlays, onlays, thicker veneers

not strong enough for posterior crowns

19
Q

Lithium disilicate EMAX

A

2x strength as Empress
enough translucency for anterior
used for any restoration

20
Q

Problem with alumina and zirconia

A

Strong but opaque so not esteem for anterior teeth

Alumina- good for inlays/onlways hods the discoloration form RCT

Zirconia- alternative to PFM crowns

21
Q

Veneers

A

Thin layer of ceramic or composite resin material that is bonded to the fronts of teeth to improve their appearance.

  • most common used materials are direct composites or indirect ceramics
22
Q

Best material for veneers

A

Ceramic
- more durable, surface doesn’t discolor, more wear resistant and stronger

23
Q

When the natural tooth structure is___ it makes to challenging to place veneers

A

Dark

24
Q

Tooth is etched with ___ acid prior to cementing veneers

A

hydrofluoric

25
Q

enhances bonding and forms a chemical union

A

saline

26
Q

Porcelain metal restorations

A

the main advantage is the strength and durability produced by the bond between the metal core and the esthetics of the porcelain covering

27
Q

Preparing the restoration

A

If lab hasn’t already, etch the restoration for 5 min

then apply silane coupling agent for 60 sec, then air dry

28
Q

Hue

A

Basic color of the object

29
Q

Chroma

A

The intensity of the color

  • more chroma= intense Color
30
Q

Value

A
  • The brightness of the color
  • More value is lighter
31
Q

Shade taking

A
  • patient should be involves
  • take shade before preparation and before a rubber dam
  • teeth should be clean, free of stain, and moist
32
Q

Shade tab

A

-wet the tab and tooth
-held adjacent
- in the same plane not infront or behind
