Ceramics
Classification
-
-
Resin-matrix ceramics
Polymer-matrices containing predominantly inorganic refractory compounds that may include porcelain, glass, ceramics and glass-ceramics
-
Polycrystalline Ceramics
-
Alumina
-
E.g. Procera AllCeram, In-Ceram AL
Stabilized Zirconia
-
-
-
-
E.g. Lava Plus, Katana Zirconia ML, IPS e.max ZirCAD, Zirkon
The more mole % yttria, the weaker but the more aesthetic
-
GLASS-MATRIX CERAMICS
1) Feldspathic
Traditional ceramics used as VENEERING materials on metal alloy and ceramic substrates or as veneers
E.g. Vita VMK 68, Vitablocs, CEREC blocks
2) Synthetic
Leucite based
Ind: veneers, partial to full coverage SINGLE restorations
e.g. IPS empress CAD/PRess, Noritake EX-3
-
Fluorapetite based
-
E.g. IPS emax ceram, IPS emax zirpress
3) Glass infiltrated
-
-
-
** note as widely used bc of popularity of other materials, indicated for framework material for crowns and bridges
Resin-Matrix Ceramics
What is it?
-
50% by weight- refractory inorganic compounds
-
Used as veneers, partial to full coverage SINGLE restorations
