  4. Contributes to the formation of the bonding agent
31

32
Q

What is the melting range of 1 star in comparison to v delta SF alloy

A

1 star: 840-875 degrees

V delta SF alloy: 1180-1300 degrees

33
Q

How do porcelain based metal alloys work

A

Coping distributes stresses and provides rigid support (this inhibits propagation of cracks from small faults at the metal ceramic interface)

34
Q

How is a good bond achieved between the metal and the porcelain in a metal ceramic allow?

A
  1. Mechanical retention (roughness)
  2. A direct chemical bond can be made using ion diffusion
  3. Mis match of the co efficient of thermal expansion can be used
35
Q

What is the disadvantage of bonding metal to porcelain by using Mis matching of the co efficient of thermal expansion

A

The mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion creates tangential compressive stresses in the ceramic.

36
Q

What are some of the disadvantages of metal ceramic alloys

A
  1. Absence of light transmission especially in cervical and proximal areas
  2. Reduced depth of translucency
  3. Presence of fret line at gingival margin
  4. Some patients may have a sensitivity or be allergic to alloys
37
Q

What can a nickel sensitivity result in?

A

Acute inflammation adjacent to the restoration

38
Q

Why are we moving away from metal in the mouth and choosing ceramic based materials instead

A

Metals react very differently to natural teeth when exposed to light
Metals do not let light through where as ceramic crowns do

39
Q

Out of all the different material we can use to make indirect restorations which is the most aesthetic?

A

All ceramic materials

40
Q

List some different types of ceramic materials

A
  1. Conventional porcelain
  2. Glass ceramic
  3. Glass infiltrated alumina
  4. High tech ceramic
41
Q

Which type of ceramic dental material has the highest toughness and bend strength? Which has the least?

A

Highest: High tech ceramic
Lowest: Conventional porcelain

42
Q

What is a key disadvantage of ceramic dental materials

A
  1. They are quite brittle so they don’t bend they break

2. They are governed by flaws and can chip and fracture

43
Q

State the Griffith equation

A

Failure stress= fracture toughness/ constant*(square root of critical flaw size)

44
Q

How can we remove flaws from glass rods and ceramics

A
  1. Acid etch and lacquered

2. drawn silica fibres

45
Q

What are ceramic materials regarded as

A

Flawed materials

46
Q

What governs the properties of ceramic dental materials

A

Flaws disproportionally govern the properties or ceramic dental materials

47
Q

Which is better ceramics or glasses?

A

Ceramic

48
Q

What are ceramic materials usually made of?

A

Usually ceramic materials consists fo a crystalline material in a glass matrix.

49
Q

why is ceramic better than glass

A

As if a crack forms in the glassy matrix of a ceramic material the crystalline domains deviate the crack hindering its progress and hopefully stopping it before complete failure

50
Q

What is aluminous porcelain?

A

It is a high strength core porcelain containing unto 50% fused alumina crystals which a matched expansion veneer is baked

51
Q

What does alum act as when it is added to porcelain

A

Acts as a crack stopper preventing cracks from propagating through the material thus increasing strength

52
Q

Describe glass ceramic materials

A

They are fine grained polycrystalline materials which are obtained from an initially glassy phase following a heat treatment cycle

53
Q

What are the benefits of glass ceramic materials

A

Thanks to the large number of fine crystals propagation of flaws through the glass ceramic can be limited

54
Q

Which is better base glass or glass ceramic materials? WHY

A

Glass ceramic materials as they have far superior mechanical properties

55
Q

Name a type of glass ceramic used in practice

A

IPS Emax

56
Q

What are IPS Emac used fro?

A

Designed for crowns and bridgeworks

57
Q

What is IPS Emax made up of

A

60% Lithium disilicate (main phase)
Lithium orthophosphate (secondary)
Layered with Fluoroapatite

58
Q

Gives some indications for the use for glass ceramics

A
  1. Veneers
  2. Inlay
  3. Only
  4. Posterior, anterior crowns
  5. 3 unit anterior bridge
59
Q

Talk though the CAD/CAM process

A
  1. CCD picture or video is processed
  2. A computer designs the restoration
  3. Computer mills the restoration ready to be used
60
Q

Give examples of some core ceramics

A
  1. Alumina

2. Zirconia: Lava, Cercon, IPS eMAX

61
Q

Give examples of zirconia materials

A

Lava,
Cercon,
IPS eMAX

62
Q

What are the benefits of using zirconia

A

They are very strong and have good aesthetics

63
Q

How is zirconia so strong?

A

It is made through a process of transformation toughening

64
Q

What shape do we want the zirconia to be?

A

Tetragonal but when we reduce the temperature the zirconia wants to become monoclinic but we stop it from changing

65
Q

What is the benefit of containing zirconia in a tetragonal shape

A

If a crack forms the constrains of the zirconia are released

  1. This means it changes its shape back to begin monoclinic
  2. Monoclinic zirconia occupies a greater volume in the bulk material
  3. This creates a compressive force that contacts the tensile forces causing the crack and therefore suppressing crack propagation
66
Q

Name the 2 ceramic materials you are most likely to come across

A
  1. Lithium disilicate (glass ceramic)

2. Zirconium oxide core with a porcelain veneer
