Q

how is dental porcelain customised to match dental alloys?

A

expansion/ contraction customised to match range of dental alloys - aims to have slightly higher expansion/ contraction that the underlying alloy to put porcelain in slight tangential compression

22
Q

list properties of porcelain

A

hard
resistant to chemical attack
good thermal isulator

23
Q

how may you modify porcelain to prevent, to an extent, degree of crack propagation?

A

add glaze surface

24
Q

how can you maximise clinical durability of ceramics?

A

use max occlusal thickness
use highest elastic modulus substrate possible for core
bond the restoration
develop broad occlusal contacts

25
Q

in what case would you use conventional acid base cements?

A

zirconium oxide based ceramics

26
Q

generally, why are acid based cements not used?

A

risks etching effect that can exacerbate flaws

27
Q

how are feldspathic ceramics etched?
