(42 cards)
why do you add metal oxides to porcelain?
mimic natural tooth shades
Ir/Ni
brown
Cu
green
titanium
yellow brown
cobalt
blue
manganese
lavender
low fusing porcelain has – glass modifiers
a lot
low fusing porcelain: a lot of glass modifiers reduce –
crosslink with silicate
what is the melting temp of low fusing porcelain
low (850-1100C)
compare low fusing and high fusing porcelain strength
low fusing is weaker and less stable
which fusing type is more soluble in oral environment
low fusing
what is the thermal expansion for low fusing porcelain?
higher than high fusing
when would you use a low fusing porcelain?
veneer for a metal in PFM restorations
– is through porcelain layer which is a metal oxide
chemical bonding
chemical bonding is ionic bond bond between ceramic and –
oxide layer on metal
chemical bonding: – before you add porcelain
heat metal in furnace
thermally induced stress for –
compression fit
describe thermal expansion for compression fit
thermal expansion of ceramic < metal
metal –more during cooling
contracts
ceramic more attracted to metal –
irregularities
metal ceramic combination: coefficient of – of ceramic slightly lower than metal
expansion
development of residual compressive stresses reduces – and – by neutralizing developing tensile stress
ceramic crack potential
tensile stresses
mismatch of coefficient of expansion –>
crazing, ceramic fracture, debond from metal
requirements of porcelain in PFM
- lower firing temp than melting temp of metal coping
- slightly lower thermal expansion coefficient than metal
