The shear bond strength of composite resin to porcelain was investigated to optimize variables for bonding porcelain laminate veneers. Scanning electron microscopy was initially used to examine the surface configuration of porcelain prepared under various conditions. A factorial experiment was undertaken to determine the effects of three different bonding methods on both etched and non-etched p...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Porcelain fused to zirconia prostheses are widely used. However, porcelain chipping, spalling, fracture, and delamination are common clinical problems. Residual stresses of thermal origin have received attention, but clear data and firing guidelines remain absent. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to measure the influence of heating and cooling protocols on the streng...

plucking his lute, or the gallant tossing a kiss to his lady, though less dramatic and more tranquil, seem also to have been transfixed in the midst of activity. We are today so familiar with porcelain, particularly in its utilitarian forms, that we can hardly conceive the thrill with which it was regarded when it was first produced in Europe. For a long time oriental porcelain had been enormou...

The accumulated knowledge about the structure of a substance makes it possible to control its properties, including purposeful selection raw materials and for creation, vice versa, based on natural or artificial material composition, predict physical chemical properties. This approach allows choosing replacement rare even scarce types mineral produce particular product. analysis literature data...
