Q

how is porcelain different than glass

A

Glass with a refractory internal structure

19
Q

do all porcelains have the same composition

A

No, have different ratios

20
Q

what are the types of dental porcelains for an MCC

A

Opaque porcelain
Body/dental porcelain
Incisal/enamel porcelain

21
Q

what does the opaque porcealin contain

A

Opacifying oxides

22
Q

can you see through body porcelain

A

Yes, it is translucent

23
Q

what is found in body porcelain

A

metalic oxides that give shade or base color selected

24
Q

how see through is the incisal/enamel porcelain

A

More translucent than body

25
Q

what are the dental porcelains mixed with

A

Water based glycerin continaing liqued

26
Q

how should enamel porcelain be added

A

over build it

27
Q

how should grind porcelain

A

Use stones or diamond burs only used to grind porcelain on a low speed

28
Q

how should shimstock feel when contact is good

A

Should drag when crown is seated, but if it holds it is too tight

29
Q

what wheels are used to adjust contact

A

Blue: course
Pink: medium
Gray: fine

30
Q

how to prep porcelain for a second bake

A

Clean in DI for 10 min

add porcelain to areas that are deficient

31
Q

advantage of Porcelain labial margin

A

Improve esthetics

Less plaque retention

32
Q

disadvantages of porcelain labial margin

A
  • Generally inferior margin adaptation compared to cast metal
  • decreased strength compared to metal
  • more time consuming
  • slight more expesnive than conventional MCC
33
Q

what are the techniques for porcelain labial margin fab

A

Platinum foil matrix tech
Porcelain wax technique
Direct lift technique

34
Q

what is the direct lift technique

A

Apply shoulder porcelain on margin and dry with tissue paper and brush excess with large brush

35
Q

advantage of direct lift technique

A

LEast time consuming

36
Q

disadvantage of direct lift technique

A

Shoulder porcelain needed

Slightly rough margins

37
Q

when were porcelain crowns first used

A

1903 ( over 100 yeras ago)

38
Q

what is the problem with cooling porcelain

A

causes the metal to distort ( low temp is desired)

39
Q

what chem is the major component of porcelain

A

SiO2

40
Q

why should you overbuild porcelain

A

account for voids

Shrinks 45-30%

Q

what color should shoulder porcelain be

A

should be opaque

42
Q

what holds more plaque, ceramic or metal retainers

A

metal

43
Q
