-Incisofacial Porcelain
-Intermediate Strength
Describe Facial Veneer Procelain?
-Most contacts in metal
-Incisofacial procelain
-Weakest PFM design due to junction near contact
Describe Facial Window Porcelain?
-All contact in metals
-Incisofacial Metal band
-Strongest PFM design
Describe the Partial facial Window Design?
-Metal should ONLY be present where functional occlusal contact are.
Functional occlusal movements generally occur w/in ___mm of MI
3 mm
Porcelain/metal junction should generally be at __ angle for strength, and to minimize opaque exposure
90 degree
Describe the Outline Steps of crown prep?
1. Occlusal reduction
2. Inital Axial reduction
3. Second plane reduction
4. Gingival retraction
5. Final margination
6. Smoothing/Finishing
What if PFM frame work design?
-Metal substructure
-Oxide layer
-Opaque porcelain
-Dentin and enamel veneers
-Surface glaze
What is the range of the frame work
-Cement: <25 micron
-Metal substructure: 0.3 mm
-Opaque porcelain: 0.3-0.5 mm
-Body/Incisal porcelain: > 1.0 mm
Requirement for successful metal-ceramic restoration?
1.Accurate abutment castings and ease of casting
2. Accurate soldering and ease of soldering
3. Rigidity of the metal frame
4. Ability of the porcelain to fuse to metal
5. Adequate strength of the final restoration
6. Esthetic appearance
7. Tissue tolerance ease of repair
What is the Secondary functions of metal ceramic substructure?
1. Metal occlusion: requires more conservative prep.
2. Metal axial wall support components of removable and fixed partial dentures
Principles of substructure design questions?
-Occlusal contacts in porcelain or metal
-Occlusal contacts 1.5- 2.00 mm
-Proximal contact in porcelain or metal
-No more than 2mm of unsupported porcelain
-Substructure thick enough to provide rigid foundation for porcelain veneer
What are the areas of concern?
-Marginal ridges: support w/ interproximal struts of metal that extend just inferior to proximal contact areas
-Pontic tips- often under supported
What is Iwanson wax guage?
-Measuring thickness of casting
Describe the Framework of PFM systems?
-Working model
-Full contour wax-up
-Wave pattern cutback
-Wax pattern thickness measurement, Spruing, Investing, Casting.
-Despruing and metal shaping
-Porcelain application and Glazed
