Types of Dental Porcelain.
Composition of Dental Porcelain
3. Resistance to devitrification.
Devitrification
Koalin
Quartz feldspar
Quartz
Feldspar koalin
pigments
Main ingredient are mixtures of potassium alumino
silicate .(K2O.Al2O3.6SiO2)
Role:
- On heating it undergoes fusion forming
translucent glassy matrix that gives the porcelain its
translucency.
•Acts as matrix (holds other ingredients(a
skeleton)
- It prevent pyroplastic flow .
2. Quartz: SiO2: (11-18%)
Silica
a. Opaque porcelains:
Contains large amounts of metal oxides such as
zirconium and tin, added to mask the underlying
metal.
b. Color frits:
These are produced by fusing metallic oxides, ex iron
oxide crown, cobalt (Blue) to obtain various shades
needed to simulate natural teeth.
c. Stains:
Lower fusing glasses used as surface colorants.
d. Glaze:
1. Add on glaze. Low fusing ceramic powders painted on die
surface of the restoration fired at temperatures less than
the maturing temperatures of the restoration to produce a
glossy transparent layer on the surface.
BUT ,,,,
It is a brittle material .
Glasses are extremely
sensitive to the presence of
surface micro cracks .
The traditional P.J.C.is constructed using a platinum
foil, which is adapted on a die onto which porcelain is
built up in layers to the desired shape and contour
Firing
Purpose of condensation:
a) Excess water is removed to decrease firing
shrinkage.
b) The paste is adapted to the required form.
c) Closely packed particles increase strength
of porcelain
d) Porosity is decreased.
Methods of Condensation
Vibration
Spatulation
Gravitation
Cohesive object
Particulate mass
(strength limited by defects)

4-Firing stages
Low bisque stage: Porcelain begins to fuse,
continuity is only achieved at point of contact
between particles.
Medium bisque stage: More fusion takes place as
the molten glass flows between the particles.
(Large contraction occurs during this phase 20%).
High bisque stage: Maximum fusion with no
further shrinkage.
Porcelain
furnace
Foil is finally twisted and removed in one piece.
The process involves the flow of glass at the
surface of the ceramic.
It may be;
a) The flow of the ceramic on the final bake
(self-glaze or autoglaze technique)
b) The addition of a low fusing glass to the
surface (add on or overglaze).
Acrylic resin is used for temporary jacket crown
construction
Advantages:
1) Easy construction.
2) Inexpensive,
3) used for young age patients
Disadvantages:
1) Low wear resistance.
2) Low abrasion resistance.
3) Discoloration
It is the process of converting the wax pattern
to acrylic resin crown ready for cementation.
Flasking.
Wax elimination.
Curing
