Ion Exchange Strengthening of a Leucite-Reinforced Dental Ceramic

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA327466 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Demand for improved dental esthetics has led to an increased use of ceramics in dentistry, specifically all-ceramic restorations. Unfortunately, the brittle characteristics of dental ceramics remain an area of concern and limit their applications. Metal-ceramic restorations have proven successful, but problems associated with the use of metal substructures exist. Numerous all-ceramic systems have been introduced, however strengths equivalent to metal-ceramic restorations have not been obtained. As a result, strengthening techniques are being actively investigated.
