Novel glass-ceramics for dental restorations.

چکیده

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 review article is to discuss the types of novel glass-ceramic currently be investigated including composition, microstructure and properties. CONCLUSION Current research in glass-ceramics focuses on the quest for a highly esthetic material along with sufficient strength to enable crowns and bridgework to be reliably placed in these areas. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE There is a gap in the market for a machinable resin bonded glass-ceramic with sufficient strength as well as excellent esthetics.

Sintered feldspathic and leucite reinforced ceramic are used for the fabrication of metal-free restorations

New ceramic materials, like hot-pressed glass ceramics can be used to achieve monolithic full anatomic all-ceramic dental restorations even in the molar areas. Due to the fact that these materials are brittle and susceptible to fracture, the aim of the study was to reveal the fracture behaviour of hot-pressed glass ceramic molar crowns under different loading methods. For the experimental analy...

Fracture Rates and Lifetime Estimations of CAD/CAM All-ceramic Restorations.

The gathering of clinical data on fractures of dental restorations through prospective clinical trials is a labor- and time-consuming enterprise. Here, we propose an unconventional approach for collecting large datasets, from which clinical information on indirect restorations can be retrospectively analyzed. The authors accessed the database of an industry-scale machining center in Germany and...

Selected Properties of a Synthetic Quartz Glass-Ceramic

QDT 2005 1 he restoration of missing or compromised tooth structure requires dental materials that offer toothlike esthetics, functionality, biocompatibility, and longevity. Silica-based ceramics (eg, feldspathic porcelain) offer all of these necessities and are the materials of choice for esthetic all-ceramic restorations (eg, laminate veneers, ceramic inlays and onlays, and full-coverage jack...
