Magnesia ceramic jacket crowns.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

A high-extension core material based upon magnesia has been developed. This material may be used in the construction of all ceramic jacket crowns with the same body and enamel porcelains used for porcelain fused to metal crowns. Jacket crowns may be constructed using a modified platinum foil technique with greater accuracy and higher strength. The main advantage is a stronger jacket crown with exceptional esthetics without the need for special equipment or long processes.

Metal-ceramic bridges from commercial dental laboratories: alloy composition, cost and quality of fit.

The quality of construction of fixed bridge prostheses directly affects their long-term survival. The cost, alloy composition and marginal fit of bridges made by 30 commercial dental laboratories is assessed. Duplicate models of a three unit bridge preparation were sent to 30 different laboratories, as if required for a patient receiving treatment under the General Dental Service. Material was sent via general dental practitioners, requesting metal-ceramic bridges made from 45% Au alloy, precious metal or non-precious metal. Proximal contacts were overbuilt at 65% of sites and pontic tissue contacts were excessive in all but one bridge. Eight laboratories did not use alloys corresponding to the request made. The mean marginal gaps of non-precious metal bridges (145 microns) were significantly greater than those for 45% gold alloy (106 microns). Marginal fit was poor and a number of factors have been observed, with other postulated, which may have contributed to this problem.
