20
Q
part of PFM
- Cast metallic framework
- Must be 0.3mm THICK, at least in areas of the appearance zone, so it looks natural

A
core “coping”
21

mixed failure
28
type of failure in metal ceramic bonding

REQS OF CERAMICS FOR METAL-CERAMIC RESTO:
1. mimic natural teeth
2. fuse at low temp
3. have thermal expansion coefficient compatible with alloys
4. compatible in oral environment
5. have low abrasiveness
31
COMPOSITION OF CERAMICS FOR METAL-CERAMIC RESTORATIONS
* they are opacifiers
1. silica
2. alumina
3. sodium oxide
4. potassium oxide
32
advantage of gold with alloy
- non-corrosive
- ductile
- cheap but hars to make
33
advantage of porcelain
insulator so it would protect the pulp from harmful stimulus
34
PROCESSING OF PORCELAIN OVER METAL CORE
1. condensation -- to remove excess water
2.build-up
3. firing / sintering -- to fuse porcelain particles
4. glazing - to smooth surface
35
types of porcelain
1. opaque porcelain -- initial part that mask color of cement
2. body / demtin porcelain -- for COLOR or SHADE
3. enamel porcelain -- translucent; for INCISAL PORTION
36
stages of firing/sintering (3)
- LOW BISQUE STAGE
- MEDIUM BISQUE STAGE
- HIGH BISQUE STAGE
37
stages of firing
- Particles lack complete adhesion, low amount of shrinkage occur, and very porous.
- Ito yung initial firing when you put the porcelain restoration in the oven
low bisque stage
38
stages of firing
- Water evaporates with better cohesion to the powder particles and some porosity. Most of the firing shrinkage occurs in this stage.
medium bisque stage
39
stages of firing
- Fusion of particles to form a continuous mass, complete cohesion and no more shrinkage
high bisque stage
40
glazing types
- AUTO-GLAZING -- rapid heating up to the fusion temperature for 1-2 minutes to melt the surface particles.
- ADD ON GLAZING -- applying a glaze to the surface and re-firing
41
types of all-ceramic restoration
-alumina-based ceramic
- leucite-reinforced ceramic
42
type of all-ceramic restoration
- developed by McLean in 1965
- aluminous core ceramic used in the aluminous porcelain crown
- high modulus of elasticity and relatively HIGH FRACTURE TOUGHNESS, compared to feldspathic porcelains ⭐️
- All-porcelain crown

- 45% by volume tetragonal leucite
- higher flexural strength (104 MPa) and compressive strength ⭐️
- increased resistance to crack propagation ⭐️
- Silica-based
- Looks natural, may be translucent
leucite-reinforced ceramic
44

45
MACHINABLE ALL-CERAMIC MATERIALS types
- soft machining
- hard machining
46
type of machinable all-ceramic materials
- Requires milling of an enlarged restoration to compensate for sintering shrinkage ⭐️
- Some all-ceramic materials can also be machined in a partially sintered state and later fully sintered ⭐️
- Ceramics that are difficult to machine in the fully sintered state, such as alumina and zirconia
soft machining
47
hard machining types
- COMPUTER AIDED DESIGNING/ COMPUTER AIDED MILLING (CAD/CAM)
- CEREC AC, SIRONA DENTAL SYSTEM
48
cerec meaning
Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramic
49
hard machining type
- The preparation is optically scanned and the image is computerized
- Restoration is designed with the aid of a computer
- Restoration is then machined from ceramic blocks by a computer-controlled milling machine
