Dental Ceramic Technique

The background for basic techniques for building porcelain layers is explained with photographs in this chapter.

Dental ceramic technique.

The dental ceramic techniques certificate is comprised of four courses that focus on the physical properties of metals and ceramic and the fabrication of metal ceramic and all ceramic crowns and bridges. Ceramics have also been used to restore carious enamel and dentin or missing teeth. For classical dental porcelain quartz kaolin and feldspar were the raw materials used for preparing the porcelain. Ceramics is a material that is opaque and porous thus relatively weak.

Shade with depth in a metal ceramics system can be obtained only with a sufficient thickness of translucent porcelain. Dental porcelain mainly differs from traditional ceramics in terms of firing techniques which make it more suitable for dental restoration. Patient specific shade adjustment with heraceram zirkonia 750. In dental ceramic sub structures sintered refractory materials have little or no glass between the refractory particles dental ceramic substructuresare made of aluminaor zirconia fused at very high temperatures and need no glass to make them hard.

Over the last decade it has been observed that there is an increasing interest in the ceramic materials in dentistry. Dental porcelain has been used as artificial porcelain teeth in complete or partial denture porcelain crown or inlay and dental cement. For certain dental prostheses such as three unit molars porcelain. Dental ceramics are usually composed of nonmetallic inorganic structures primarily containing compounds of oxygen with one or.

A dental substructure is a framework covered with porcelain that forms the. Esthetically these materials are preferred alternatives to the traditional materials in order to meet the patients demands for improved esthetics. Heraceram is a flexible veneer system for all indications and aesthetic requirements. Introduction ceramic is defined as product made from non metallic material by firing at a high temperature.

Dental porcelain has very stable chemical properties and outstanding esthetics which are unlikely to be influenced by time.
