Study Notes

I- Glass-Matrix Ceramics

  • Composed of clay, quartz, and feldspar (K2O or Na2O)
  • Feldspar converted to crystalline phase after firing
  • Flexural strength: 60-70 MPa
  • Fabrication methods: • Free hand layering: used for veneering metal or ceramic substructure • Machined: examples include VITABLOCS and Vident

A- Feldspathic Porcelain

  • Traditional group of ceramics composed of clay, quartz, and feldspar
  • Fabrication methods: • Free hand layering: IPS Classic, Ivoclar Vivadent; Vita VMK68 • Machined: VITABLOCS, Vident

B- Synthetic Ceramics

  • Leucite reinforced ceramic • Flexural strength: 120-160 MPa • Contains 50% glass by volume • Fabrication methods: • Free hand layering: IPS d.Sign, Ivoclar Vivadent; Vita VM7, VM9, VM13, Vident • Pressing: IPS Empress, Ivoclar Vivadent • Machined: Advanced Ceramics

Classification of Dental Ceramics

  • According to microstructure
  • According to processing technique

A- Microstructure

  • Gracis et al. (2015) classification system
  • Examples: IPS Empress CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent; IPS Empress CAD Multi, Ivoclar Vivadent

1- Leucite Reinforced Ceramic

  • Flexural strength: 120-160 MPa
  • Fabrication methods: • Free hand layering: IPS d.Sign, Ivoclar Vivadent; Vita VM7, VM9, VM13, Vident • Pressing: IPS Empress, Ivoclar Vivadent

2- Lithium Disilicate Based

  • Flexural strength: 360-400 MPa
  • Fabrication methods: • Pressable forms: IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent • Multi and impulse ingots

II- Polycrystalline Ceramics

  • Non-metallic inorganic ceramic materials without glass phase
  • Examples: Alumina, Stabilized Zirconia, Zirconia-Toughened Alumina, Alumina-Toughened Zirconia

1- Stabilized Zirconia

  • Flexural strength: up to 1120 MPa
  • Transformation toughening: tetragonal to monoclinic transformation
  • Fabrication: Cold isostatic pressing, Non-sintered (Green State), Sintering

Fabrication of Zirconia

  • Examples: Ceramill Zolid FX Multilayer, Dental Direkt Cube X

III- Resin-Matrix Ceramics

  • Developed to simulate dentin's modulus of elasticity
  • Easier to mill and adjust than glass-matrix or polycrystalline ceramics
  • Facilitates repair or modification with composite resin
  • Examples: • Resin nano-ceramic: Lava Ultimate, 3M ESPE • Glass ceramic in a resin matrix • Zirconia-silica ceramic in a resin matrix
