Study Notes
Requirements of Metal Component
- Alloys for dental prostheses are designed to be veneered with low-fusing and ultralow-fusing porcelains; their composition affects castability, bonding, and stress development during cooling.
- Metal must have a higher melting range, with a solidus temperature exceeding the sintering temperature of the ceramic to avoid deformation during sintering and glazing.
- Gold alloys often include approximately 1% of base metals like iron or indium, which help create a surface oxide layer for better bonding to porcelain.
- Key alloy properties include elastic modulus and proof strength, ensuring sufficient resistance to deformation, with coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) closely matching ceramics.
Bonding Porcelain to Metal
- Durable bonding of ceramic to metal is essential for metal-ceramic (MC) restorations, achieved by the liquid ceramic wetting metal surfaces during sintering.
- Mechanical interlocking, chemical bonding, and thermal compatibility are the three critical factors affecting MC bonding durability.
- Surface roughness enhances mechanical interlocking; previous studies show Pd-Ag alloy can develop metal nodules contributing to bond strength.
- Metal oxides act as coupling agents, where adherent oxides lead to strong porcelain bonding; the quality of the oxide and its adhesion to the substrate are vital.
Thermal Compatibility
- CTE differences between metal and ceramics should be minimal to prevent bond failure upon cooling, as the metal must stretch while the ceramic compresses.
- Stresses from thermal contraction can produce significant shear stress, risking bond failure if the shear resistance is lower than thermal stress.
- An average contraction coefficient difference of 0.5 × 10⁻⁶/K or less generally results in durable MC systems, while typical bite forces in human molars range from 400 to 800 N.
Mechanical Properties
- High yield strength and elastic modulus in metal coping reduce stress distribution to ceramic.
- Residual shear stresses in porcelain should be minimized post-cooling to avoid fractures during service.
- Strong interfacial bonds and thermal compatibility are prerequisites for long-term MC restoration success.
Fabrication of Metal-Ceramic Prostheses
- MC prosthesis creation involves two main steps: metal substructure fabrication and ceramic veneer application.
- Techniques for constructing metal substructures include lost wax, CAD-CAM, or 3-D printing, followed by finishing and oxidation to create the oxide layer.
- Ceramic veneering involves manual condensation of fine powder to achieve dense packing, minimizing firing shrinkage and porosity.
Firing and Sintering
- The firing process sinters ceramic particles at specific temperatures and durations, with a goal of achieving at least 95% theoretical density.
- Vacuum firing can help reduce porosity; multiple firings may be necessary for aesthetic adjustments.
- Leucite crystals form during firing and influence the CTE of porcelain; increased CTE can lead to stresses and potential cracking.
Cooling Process
- Slow cooling from firing temperatures is crucial to avoid thermal shock and fracture in dental porcelain.
- Rapid cooling can exacerbate tensile stresses, increasing the risk of cracking due to unequal thermal contraction between porous and metallic components.
- Proper design ensures that the porcelain is reinforced, mitigating brittle fracture risks, particularly during multiple firings of MC restorations.
Innovations in Fabrication
- Emerging non-cast methods, including electrodeposition and milling, have been developed for creating metal cores; however, their fracture resistance is generally less reliable than traditional casting methods.
