The word Ceramics is derived
from Greek word keramos
which means pottery or burnt
stuff.
Porcelain in English means
china.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Ceramics
Compounds of one or more metals
with a non metallic element,
usually oxygen. They are formed
of chemical and biochemical
stable substances that are strong,
hard , brittle, and inert non
conductors of thermal and
electrical energy(GPT-7).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Porcelain is defined as
A ceramic material formed of
infusible elements joined by lower
fusing materials. Most dental
porcelain are glasses and are
used in the fabrication of teeth for
dentures, pontics and facings,
metal ceramic restorations,
crowns, inlays, onlays, and other
restorations.

Other designations of metal
ceramics
Porcelain-fused to metal.
Ceramo-metal crown.
Porcelain veneer crown.
Porcelain bonded to metal
crown.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Structure of ceramics
Their atomic structure and resultant
properties depend, not only on
composition, but also on thermal history.
Dental porcelain are glassy materials
Glasses may be regarded as a super cooled
liquids or as non crystalline solids

PORCELAIN DENTURE TEETH
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1850 Samuel Stockton was the first to
mass produce these teeth first in
America
Claudius Ash created a artificial tooth
that could be placed over a post on
either a complete denture of FPD. It
was known as tube tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1889 Dr Charles H. Land gave the
idea of fusing porcelain to a thin
platinum foil. he developed low
fusing porcelain in 1898. 1903 he
introduced the porcelain jacket crown
to dentistry
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1907 Stockton developed dental
porcelain.
1962 M. Weinstein, S.Katz, and
A.B.Weinstein patented a method to
fabricate the first metal ceramic
crown.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Two of the most important breakthroughs
responsible for the long-standing superb
aesthetic performance and clinical
survivability of metal-ceramic restorations
are the patents of Weinstein and
Weinstein (1962) and Weinstein et al
(1962).
One of these patents described the
formulations of feldspathic porcelain that
allowed systematic control of the sintering
temperature and thermal expansion
coefficient.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The other patent described the
components that could be
used to produce alloys that
bonded chemically to and
were thermally compatible with
feldspathic porcelains
www.indiandentalacademy.com
What are ceramics?
Dental ceramics may consist
primarily of glasses ,porcelains,
glass-ceramics.
The properties of ceramics are
customized for dental application
by precise control of the type &
amount of the components used
in their production.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Ceramics are more resistant to
corrosion. Ceramics generally do
not react with most liquids, gases,
alkalies & acids. And they remain
stable over long time.
Dental ceramics exhibit far to
excellent flexure strength & fracture
toughness.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Although ceramics are strong,
temperature-resistant & resilient
these materials are brittle and may
fracture when quickly heated and
cooled.
Dental ceramics are non-metallic
inorganic structures,primarily
containing components of oxygen
with one or more metallic or semi
metallic elements.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Most ceramics are
characterized by their refractory
nature, high hardness,
(relatively low tensile strength
and essentially zero percent
elongation), and chemical
inertness.
Properties of ceramics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
For dental applications a
hardness of a ceramic less than
that of enamel and an easily
polishable surface are desirable
to minimize the wear damage that
can be produced on enamel by
the ceramic surface.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1) Strength.
Porcelain is a material having good
strength. However, it is brittle and
tends to fracture.
The strength of porcelain is usually
measured in terms of its flexure
strength or modulus of rupture.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
a) Flexure strength:
It is a combination of compressive,
tensile, as well as shear strength.
Glazed porcelain is stronger than
ground porcelain.
Ground-75.8 Mpa (11,000 psi)
Glazed-141.1 Mpa (20,465 psi)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
b) Compressive strength:
Porcelains have good compressive
strength.
331 Mpa (48,000psi)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
c) Tensile strength:
Is low
34 MPa (5000psi).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
d) Shear strength:
It is low and is due to the ductility
caused by the complex structure of
dental porcelain.
110 Mpa (16000psi).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Factors affecting strength.
1) Composition.
2) Surface integrity: Surface imperfections
like microscopic cracks and porosities
reduce the strength.
3) Firing procedure: Inadequate firing
weakens the structure as vitrification is not
complete. Overfiring also decrease
strength as more of the core gets
dissolved in the fluxes, thereby weakening
the core network. www.indiandentalacademy.com
2) Modulus of elasticity:
Porcelain as high modulus of
elasticity.
69 GPa .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
3) Surface hardness:
Porcelain is much harder than natural
teeth.
460 KHN
www.indiandentalacademy.com
4) Wear resistance:
Porcelain is more resistant to wear
than natural teeth. Thus, it should not
be placed opposite to natural teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5) Specific gravity:
Is 2.242.
The specific gravity of fired porcelain
is usually less, because of the
presence of air voids. It varies from
2.2 to 2.3.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6) Dimensional stability:
Porcelain is dimensionally stable after
firing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7) Chemical stability:
It is insoluble and impermeable to oral
fluids. Also it is resistant to most
solvents. However, contact with
hydrofluoric acid causes etching of
the porcelain surface.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8) Esthetic properties:
Are excellent. It is able to match
adjacent tooth structure in
translucence, color and intensity.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9) Biocompatibility.
It is compatible with the oral tissue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Refers to the ability of a metal
and its veneering porcelain to
contract at similar rates.
The coefficient of thermal
expansion by definition is the
change in length per unit of
original length of a material when
its temperature is raised by 1o K
.
10) Thermal compatibility
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Thermal compatibility (contd.)
When the co efficient of thermal
expansion of metal and porcelain
are compatible the tensile stress
that develop during cooling are
insufficient to cause immediate
cracking of porcelain or delayed
cracking after cooling at room
temperature.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Porcelains have coefficient of thermal
expansion between 13.0 and 14.0 X
10-6 and metal between 13.5 and
14.5 X 10-6.
The difference of 0.5 X10-6 in thermal
expansion between metal and
porcelain causes the metal to contract
slightly more than does the ceramic
during cooling after firing the
porcelain.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
This puts the ceramic under
slight residual compression
which makes it less sensitive
to applied tensile forces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Methods of strengthening ceramics
Strengthening occurs through two
mechanism,
1) development of residual
compressive stresses.
2) interruption of crack propagation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Development of residual compressive
stresses.
1) Ion exchange: (chemical
tempering)
exchange of potassium ions (which is
35% larger) for sodium ions. thus
there is squeezing of the potassium
ion into smaller spaces. This creates
a residual compressive stresses on
the surface of the glass.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Thermal tempering.
By rapidly cooling the surface of the
object while it is hot and in the molten
state. This rapid cooling produces a
layer of rigid glass surrounding a soft
core. As the molten core solidifies ,it
tends to shrink, creates a residual
tensile stress in the core thus leaving
the outer layer in residual
compressive stress.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
THERMAL EXPANSION COEFFICIENT
MISMATCH:
Ceramic in combination with metal are
heated together .The metal which is
veneered with ceramic has a higher
coefficient of thermal expansion than the
ceramic. Hence on cooling, the metal
contracts more than the ceramics thus
leaving the outer layer, of ceramic in
residual compressive stress.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Interruption of crack propagation.
Two different types of dispersions used to
interrupt crack propagation are:
1) By absorption of energy by the
dispersed tough particle from the crack
and thus depleting its driving force for
propagation.
2) By change of crystal structure under
stress to absorb energy from the crack.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1) Dispersion of a crystalline
phase.
A tough crystalline material like alumina is
added in particulate form. The glass is
toughened and strengthened because the
crack cannot penetrate the alumina
particles as easily as it can propagate in
the glass. Thus the aluminous porcelains
were developed for Porcelain Jacket
Crown. (PJC)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Transformation toughening.
A crystalline material is incorporated that
is capable of undergoing a change in
crystal structure when placed under
stress. The crystalline material used is
termed as partially stabilized zirconia
(PSZ).The refractive index of PSZ is
higher than glass matrix. Thus the PSZ
scatters the light producing an opacifying
effect.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Terminology.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): a
popular alternative designation
for the metal ceramic restoration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Porcelain bonding: a term used to
explain the mechanisms by which
dental porcelain fuses or adheres to a
metal substructure
Coping: the word coping can be used to
identify the metal substructure of single-
unit crowns designed for bonding to
dental porcelain. Copings are made on
a single tooth preparation, which may
be a single unit or attached to pontics
for a fixed partial denture.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Framework: this term is often applied
to fixed partial dentures and identifies
a one-piece substructure composed
on either several copings attached to
a pontic or multiple single units that
are joined together as a single
structure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Degassing: the process of heat-treating
a cast metal substructure in a porcelain
furnace as one of the preparatory steps
to applying an opaque porcelain.
Subjecting the finished metal to
elevated temperatures (980 to
1,050C) in a reduced atmosphere
(vacuum) or in air reportedly burns off
organic surface impurities and
eliminates entrapped gaseous
contaminants. A newer and perhaps
more appropriate termoxidizinghas
emerged in the literature to describe this
procedure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Oxidation (or oxidizing): the
process by which a metal
substructure is heated in a
porcelain furnace to produce an
oxide layer for porcelain bonding
as well as to cleanse the
porcelain-bearing surfaces of
contaminants
