    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

    2- Lithium Disilicate Based

    • Crystalline phase: lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5)
    • 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
