Lec 1/5 ACC restorations and ceramic materials I Flashcards
Indications for full coverage resto:
extensive coronal damage, max R/R form needed, short crown, axially tilted teeth, restore endo treated teeth, parafunctional habits
Adv of ACC:
esthetic, excellent translucency (sim to tooth), good tissue response (biocompatible), lack of reinforcement by a metal substructure permits more conservative reduction of facial surface
Disadv of ACC:
proper prep design is critical to get mechanical success
Contraindications, ACC:
more conservative restoration can be used, not possible to provide adequate support or an even shoulder width of at least 1mm circumferentially
Slope of ACC should be:
NONE! 90’ modified shoulder
Reductions for CI ACC:
1.5mm incisal, 1mm modified shoulder all around, 1.5mm axial reduction
Benefit of proper marginal design:
good stress distribution
What does occ reduction for ACC depend on?
type of ceramic, monolithic, layered, location of resto
General occ reduction for ACC:
1.5mm - 2mm
Type of margin for ACC:
butt joint
All ceramics have a glass and a crystalline phase except:
polycrystalline
What is the glass phase of ceramics?
Silica, mostly
Crystalline phase ceramics:
Leucite, LIDi, Alumina, Magnesia, Zirconia
2 polycrystalline ceramics:
Alumina, Zirconia
What are ceramic metals based on?
Amt of crystalline phase, fabrication technique
As this inc, flexural strength inc:
amt of crystalline
Type of Leucite that is between Feldspathic and LiDi in terms of flexural strength:
pressed
TF? Translucency inc, as flexural strength inc.
F.
TF? Translucency inc, as crystalline inc.
F.
Ceramics based on crystalline phase:
pred glass, particle-filled, polycrystalline
5 fabrication techniques for ceramics:
Conventional Powder/ Slurry Castable, Pressable, Slip-Casting, Machinable
Conventional Powder/ Slurry Ceramics are used mainly as:
Veneers, porcelain jacket crown
Material for PJC:
Feldspathic or w aluminous core
Disad v of PJC:
brittle, easily fractured, poor marginal adaptation,
PJC developed to improve strength of earlier PJCs:
PJC w alumina reinforced core
How did the 50% inc in alumina crystals in the feldspathic core strengthen the PJC?
interruption of crack propogation
Steps to hand fabricate PJC:
platinum foil matrix, apply alumina reinforced ceramic, sinter, condense feldspathic porcelain, sinter
How are castable glass ceramics different than conventional Powder/ Slurry:
Props closer to glass, very different construction, “ceramming” process is unique
Tech to make castable glass ceramic
centrifugal casting, only porcelain crown made this way
Steps to making a castable ceramic crown:
invest and burn out wax up, heat ceramic ingot to 1350C, cast using centrifuge, recover glass casting by sandblasting, cut sprues away, ceram, surface stained or layered w layered porcelain
What is ceramming?
heat tx process, strengthens glass, microscopic crystals of mica are formed that strengthen glass and red transparency, more opaque, less glass like
Castable glass ceramics and conventional Powder/ Slurry can be used for these restoration types:
none
Pressable ceramics:
Leucite or LiDi based
TF? Leucite based pressable ceramics can be monolith or layered, whereas LiDi based pressable ceramic can only be monolithic.
F both can be either
TF? All ACC’s have superior esthetics than MCCs.
F. some don’t, Zirconia doesn’t have good translucency
zirconia is categorized as ceramic but is actually:
metal alloy
TF? Zirconia has reduced strength compared to MCC.
F. metal alloy
TF? MCC has higher fracture strength that zirconia.
F
Lingual red (not finishline) for a lingual metal crown:
1mm
TF? ACC has less flexural strength than CCC.
T
Which is more forgivable under forces, LiDi or MCC?
MCC bc of metal substructure
Margin width needed for LiDi:
1mm
Margin width needed for zirconia;
0.5mm -1mm
Core of Alumina or zirconia is coated w:
feldspathic
