DENTMAT PORCELAIN
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a strengthener. | Quartz |
| uses alumina instead of quartz as a strengthener. This porcelain is considerably stronger than conventional porcelains. | Aluminous Porcelain |
| a clay and sticky material that binds the particles together when the porcelain is "green" or unfired | Kaolin |
| it forms a glassy material, which gives porcelain its translucency acts as a matrix , which then forms a refractory skeleton for the other materials to fuse around. | FELDSPAR |
| high, medium, low used to manufacture DENTURE TEETH. | High-fusing porcelains |
| high, medium, low used for all-ceramic and porcelain jacket crowns. | Medium-fusing porcelains - |
| high, medium, low used for metal-ceramic (PFM) crowns. | Low-fusing porcelains |
| increase low-fusing porcelain resistance to "slumping down" during firing. | Aluminum oxide |
| also added to low-fusing porcelains. | Calcium oxide |
| modifiers that help reduce cross linkages between oxygen and silicone to lower the porcelain's fusing temperature. However, this also decreases the viscosity of the porcelain that may "slump down" during firing. | Oxides of potassium, sodium, and chromium |
| necessary for all gold-porcelain systems. the process by which a casting is heated in a porcelain furnace to a temperature of 980°C to burn off any remaining impurities prior to adding porcelain. | Degassing |
| used for conventional porcelain-jacket crowns. | Feldspathic porcelain |
| found in Vitadur, Hyceram, Cerestore, & Inceram systems. | Aluminous porcelain |
| is used to reinforce glass. Porcelain strength is determined by the amount of this reinforcement. | Alumina |
| found in Dicor & Cerapearl systems . | Mica glass |
| used with Optec, Cerestore & Empress systems. This is a glass in which a crystalline substance like leucite is dispersed to impart strength to the ceramic | Crystalline-reinforced glass |
| Fabrication Method: • used with Optec, Hyceram, & Inceram systems. | Refractory die technique |
| Fabrication Method: • used with Dicor systems. | Casting |
| Fabrication Method: • used with Cerestore & Empress systems | Press technique |
| STAGES INVOLVED IN FIRING DENTAL PORCELAIN Particles lack complete adhesion, low amount of shrinkage occur and very porous. | Low bisque firing |
| STAGES INVOLVED IN FIRING DENTAL PORCELAIN Water evaporates with better cohesion to powder particles and some porosity. | Medium bisque firing |
| STAGES INVOLVED IN FIRING DENTAL PORCELAIN Fusion of particles to form a continuous mass, complete cohesion and no more shrinkage | High bisque firing |
| It is non-porous, resists abrasion, possesses esthetic ability, and is well tolerated by the gingiva. | Glazed Porcelain |
| the LEAST IRRITATING to the gingival tissues compared to polished cast gold, polished direct filling gold, and polished acrylic resin. | Glazed porcelain |
| It is a ceramic powders that may be added to a porcelain restoration after it has been fired. | Over glazes |
| The absolute minimum required thickness of the porcelain is ___mm | O.7mm |
| The necessary thickness of metal substructure is ___mm | 0.5mm |
| PFM ALLOYS: used to fabricate metal-ceramic restorations (PFMs). | High-gold noble alloys |
| PFM ALLOYS: oxidizes on casting | Palladium-Silver alloys |
| PFM ALLOYS: These base metal alloys readily oxidize and can create porcelain-to-metal interface problems. | Nickel-Chromium alloys |
| When porcelain is fired too many times it can ______ (appearing as a "milky" state and makes glazing very difficult). | devitrify |
| In metal-ceramic restorations, failure or fracture usually occurs in the _______ | Porcelain |
| Porcelain baked onto a high-fusing gold alloy may exhibit a green discoloration most likely due to metal contamination by ____ traces. | Copper |
