enamic Flashcards
what is enamic
% what by volume?
what is it not
INTERCONNECTED NETWORK
- CERAMIC 75%
- POLYMER 25%(BY VOLUME)
- interconnected network of polymer and ceramic
NOT a composite resin
NOT a conventional ceramic
think of what when see inter-connected network?
ENAMIC
- this will be a test question
occlusal reduction needed for enamic
1
70 - translucency
inlay/onlay / crown / implant restoration
*penetrating phase materials like enamic will resist crack propagation due to?
THE INTERCONNECTED CERAMIC AND POLYMER PHASES
occlusal reduction needed for e. max
1.5
downfall to zirconia
easy to make so might not all be as good
implication of temperature on structure for zirconia
different phases / crystal structure at different temperatures
Monolithic - largest at room temp.
Tetragonal - intermediate at 1170 degrees celcius
Cubic - smallest at 2370 degrees celcius
*pure zirconia with no added stabilizers is useful in?
for paint pigments and polishing materials
not really good at pure – sand at pure
zirconium? vs zirconia?
zirconia is the oxidized version of zirconium (zirconium is metal and now it is not)
when is zironia partially stable at room temp? what form? how?
adding yttris by 3-5%
- tetragonal –PARTIALLY STABLE AT ROOM TEMP
when is zirconia fully stable?
cubic zirconia
describe transformation toughening with zirconia
basically though stress application
- go from tetragonal (yttria partially stable zirconia )– to monolithic
3% volume increase
warping is a result of?
non-uniform density in the zirconia blocks
Zirconia FDA standard?
USA ADA?
only FDA 510 K
usa ADA - #131 - machinable zirconia blanks
zirconia must meet which standards?
- density is equal throughout
- shrinkage factor can be accurately measured
- furnace – sintering schedule
