dental ceramics for contemporary dentist Flashcards
butt margin implication
porcelain on facial metal on the lingual
PFM
lithium disilicate is
emax
“blue state” refers to what and why
emax - lithium dislicate glass ceramic
when blue composed primarily of lithium metasilicate - which is EASIER TO MILL AND RESULTS IN LOWER BUR WEAR
after milling process completed - the material is heat treated and glazed in one step, forming the final lithium dislicate, prepared for CAD/CAM use
glass matrix ceramics gets broken down to
- feldspathic
- synthetic
- glass infiltrated
main type of porcelain that is applied on PFM’s today
Feldspathic
feldpahic porcelain is made of
traditional group of ceramic based on a ternary material
- clay/ kaolin (hydrated aluminasilicate)
- quartz (silica)
- feldspar (potassim and sodium aluminasilicates)
examples = IPS empress esthetic, IPS emress CAD, IPS classic , ivoclar vivadent ; vitadur, Vita VMK , vitablocks
IPS emax ceram is?
emax reinorced with zirconia
- type of fluroapatite based
part of synthetic!
examples of synthetic
- leucite based
- lithium dislicate and derivates
- fluroapatite- based
composition of synthetic
silicone dioxide
potassium oxide
sodium oxide
alumnium oxide
combined with apetite crystals or leucite
leucite ***
crystals REINFORCES the glass by defecting and arresting the propagation of cracks,
the residual glass with CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) slighlty lower than the leucite crystals are put in compression, which further enhances the strength of glass ceramic
makes stronger
limit crack propagation
why do leucite glass ceramics present with good esthetic
because high and adjustable translucency and the possibility of coloring the glass in natural tooth shades through addition of metal oxide pigments
major example of polycrystalline ceramic we need to know
STABALIZED ZIRCONIA
glass matrix ceramics glass infiltrated
not used as much
alumina
alumina and magnesiu and alumina and zirconia
describe polycrystalline ceramics
major off the all ceramics (like own category)
aluminum oxide, stablized zirconia, zirconia toughened alumina and Alumina toughened zirconia ZTA and ATZ
fine grain crystalline structure, provides strength and fracture toughness
limited translucency due
to the absence of glass phase
difficult to etc with hydrophloric acid
why major failings with zirconia
didnt understand the cooling properties
and CTE properties
gets hot and then dos not cool at the same rate
MISMATCH OF THE CTE
patient bruxer give? why
zirconia – because fine grain crystalline structure - provides strength and fracture toughness
but this also the reason why it is more opaque – if fine crystalline structure - no room for light to come through
example of resin matrix ceramic
enamic
organic matrix highly filled with ceramic particles
greater crystalline content results in
higher flexural strength but also can decrease translucency
general rule for relationship between strength and esthetics
inverse
what happens when light passes through a translucent material
***reduced by the scattering of small sized particles, such as filler particles and porosity voids
the portion of incident light that emerges as diffuse transmission is essential for coloour perception and appearance of dental ceramics
loose matrix - more optical properties
vs zirconia - dense matrix – cant pass through
example of feldspathic porcelain
vita mark II Feldspar ceramic
flexural strength of vita mark II Feldspar ceramic
125 +- 10 mpa
most esthetic porcelain
vita mark II Feldspar ceramic
presented with more translucency than IPS emax CAD at both .5 and 1.0 mm thickness
if lower translucency - may be due to
the alumina content
vita enamic is what type?
flexural strength?
resin matrix
170+-mpa
has lower translucency than other resin cermic hybrid materials might be related to the aluminum content
emax comes from
- breakdown
all ceramic
glass matrix ceramics
synthetic
it is a synthetic type
emax strneght
360 mpa +_ 40 mpa
