  STRENGTHENING CERAMIC   Ceramic brittle matter and have low tensile strength - this makes it chip of at certain clinical condition. Therefore necessary to strengthen ceramic to increase longevity.  TECHNIQUE : 1)MINIMISING THE EFFECT OF STRESS CONCENTRATION: A)DESIGN OF PROSTHESIS: Select stronger and tougher ceramic  Grinding of surface of ceramic restoration should be minimised Avoid sharp line angle in tooth preparation  2)DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDUAL COMPRESSIVE STRESS: In post metal ceramic restoration : Metal should have more thermal coefficient of expansion than ceramic  Induce compressive stress this can withstand fracture  In all -ceramic : core ceramic have more thermal coefficient of expansion  3)MINIMISING NUMBER OF FIRING CYCLES: Repeated firing will result in : weaker and fragile ceramic If we reduce the number the number of firing we can strengthen ceramic  4)THERMAL TEMPERING : Ceramic is heated to a higher temperature ,once...

  DENTAL IMPLANT  A dental implant is a material /device in and or on oral tissue to support an oral prosthesis PARTS OF AN IMPLANT  : ABUTMENT- Support crown,provide retention IMPLANT BODY-Placed in bone HEALING SCREW-Prevent growth of tissue at edge of implant HEALING CAP-Maintenance of tissue  CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPLANT : 1)Sterile 2)Highly biocompatible 3)Should have primary stability 4)Should have adequate loading at time of healing 5)It should have surface configuration 6)It should consist of 2 parts :  a)Favour bioadhesion b)Non-adhesion  CLASSIFICATION: A)MATERIAL USED : 1)METAL AND ALLOY :Titanium and its alloy ,stainless steel 2)CERAMIC:Made of carbon with stainless steel 3)POLYMER AND COMPOSITE:Polymethylmethacrylate,polytetrafluorethylene B)BIOLOGICAL RESPONSE: 1)BIOTOLERANT : Gold Cobalt-chromium Not easily rejected when implanted in living tissue 2)BIOINERT: Titanium Allow close opposition of bone 3)BIOACTIVE: Bioglass Material that allow form...

 DENTAL CASTING ALLOY - Dental material  Dental casting alloy was introduced in the year 1907 by taggart ,he described method of making gold inlay using lost wax technique. AIM OF THIS POST : Will learn few historical significance,classification  of dental casting alloy,ideal requirement ,mechanical properties,heat  treatment,soldering,brazing,welding and finally about the  difference between soldering and brazing . In 1932 : national institute of standard and technology classified dental material by vicker hardness number  VHN TYPE 1 - SOFT TYPE 2- MEDIUM TYPE 3- HARD TYPE 4- EXTRA HARD  CLASSIFICATION  1)BASED ON NOBLE METAL CONTENT: HIGH NOBLE: Noble content more than or equal to 60% noble- noble content more than or equal to 25% by weight . predominantly base-  less than 25% by weight of noble metal 2)BASED ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: TYPE 1  - LOW (INLAY) TYPE 2 - MEDIUM (INLAY,ONLAY) TYPE 3 -  HARD (ONLAY,FULL CRO...
