Coronal Restorations Using Castable Ceramics

Castability of a commercial castable glass ceramics.

This study was carried out to determine the design and thickness of the cervical margin of a castable ceramic restoration from the point of view of its castability. Castability of castable ceramics was lower compared to Ag-Pd-Au and Co-Cr alloy with the use of the mesh pattern and rod pattern test (p < 0.05). It was more dependent on the pattern thickness than alloys (p < 0.05), and perfect rep...

Novel glass-ceramics for dental restorations.

BACKGROUND There are many different ceramic systems available on the market for dental restorations. Glass-ceramics are a popular choice due to their excellent esthetics and ability to bond to tooth structure allowing a more conservative approach. However, at present, these materials have insufficient strength to be used reliably in posterior regions of the mouth. PURPOSE The aim of this revi...

Moldable and Castable Polygons

This paper introduces the concepts of Moldability and Castability of simple polygons and relates Moldability to Monotonicity. We detail a (n) algorithm for determining all n forward maximal monotone chains of a simple polygon and apply this algorithm to the problems of determining 2-Moldability, 2-Castability and the minimum monotone decomposition of a simple polygon 9]. Our results include a s...
