WHY DO WE NEED ADVANCED
PRODUCTS ???
One of the most serious drawbacks with the early dental
porcelains were their lack of strength and toughness, which
seriously limited their use. In order to overcome these
problems, there are two possible solution.
1. One solution is to provide the dental porcelain with
support from a stronger substructure.
2. The other option is to produce ceramics, which are stronger
and tougher.
Metal free ceramic systems
All ceramic systems can provide better esthetics.
Wide range of tranlucency opacities are available
Soft tissue health
No over contouring
Glass infiltrated alumina
In-ceram alumina
Supplied as one of the three core ceramics.
1)in-ceram spinell
2)in-ceram alumina
3)in-ceram zirconia
In - ceram
A slurry of material is slip cast on porous
refractory die and heated in a furnace to produce
a partially sineterd coping.
This coping is infiltrated with glass at
temp1100*c -4hrs
In-ceram alumina
Indication-anterior and posterior crowns and
anterior 3-unit FPDs.
Flexuarl strength-500mPa
The final ICA core consists of 70wt% alumina
and 30wt%sodiumlnathanum glass.
Advantages
Moderately high flexural strength and fracture
resistance.
A metal free structure
An ability to be used succesfully with
conventional luting cements
Drawbacks
Marginal seal is not as good as procera-all ceram
or IPS Empress.
High degree of opacity
Inability to be etched
Technique sensitive
In ceram spinnel
Indications-anterior single unit
creowna,inlays,onlays & veneers.
It is the most translucent among the three .
It was introduced as an aletrnative to ICA
Improved translucency.....better esthetics.
single anterior single posterior Inlays onlays veneers
anterior bridges posterio bridges

In ceram zirconia
Indication-posterior crowns
Not recommended in anteriors due to the high
degree of opacity
But has good modulous of elasticity and fracture
toghness.
Though it has better strength its use is limited to
posteriors due to its greater opacity.
Castable and machinable
ceramics
Fracture resistance
Low translucensy
Lava zirconia
They are zirconia based products.
First the milled prosthesis is removed from the
milling unit.
The zirconia frame work is placed in the cercon
furnace and fire at 1350*C for 6 hours.
The purest tetragonal zirconia has got the greatest
fracture toughness and flexural strength.
Contra indicated in patients with bruxism.
Only minimal occlusal reduction of 2mm needed.
Finesse all ceramic

Metamerism &
Flouresence
Conclusion
Advances in the field of ceramics gives hand
full of newer products for the dentist.
Which will surely enhance the esthetic and
strength characters.
A carefull selection of these products are
essential for successful outcome.
