2. Dental porcelain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_porcelain

   Dental porcelain (also known as dental ceramic) is a dental material used by dental technicians to create biocompatible lifelike dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. Evidence suggests they are an effective material as they are biocompatible , aesthetic , insoluble and have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale .

3. Veneer (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneer_(dentistry)

   There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer: composite and dental porcelain. A composite veneer may be directly placed (built-up in the mouth), or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental lab, and later bonded to the tooth, typically using a resin cement. They are commonly used for treatment of adolescent ...

4. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

   All-ceramic Dental Onlay for a molar tooth. Full-porcelain dental materials include dental porcelain (porcelain meaning a high-firing-temperature ceramic), other ceramics, sintered-glass materials, and glass-ceramics as indirect fillings and crowns or metal-free "jacket crowns".

5. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

   Because bond strength of layered porcelain fused to zirconia is not strong; chipping of the conventional veneering ceramic frequently occurs, [16] crowns and bridges are nowadays increasingly made with monolithic zirconia crowns produced from a color and structure graded zirconia block, and coated with a thin layer of glaze stains. Esthetic ...

6. Dental material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_material

   Nano-ceramic particles embedded in a resin matrix are less brittle and therefore less likely to crack, or chip, than all-ceramic indirect fillings. They absorb the shock of chewing more like natural teeth, and more like resin or gold fillings, than do ceramic fillings; at the same time they are more resistant to wear than all-resin indirect ...

7. Inlays and onlays - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlays_and_onlays

   Metal-ceramic inlays were developed to see if the aesthetic advantages of an all-ceramic inlay restoration could be replicated, whilst improving the strength and stability of the restoration. A study showed that the fracture resistance of all-ceramic inlays was greater than that of these metal-ceramic inlays. It went on further to find that it ...
