Glass ceramics dentistry. Zirconia has very high fracture toughness. Fluoroapatite is a fluoride containing calcium phosphate with the chemical formula ca 5 po 4 3 f. These are type of ceramics that contains a glass matrix phase at least one crystal phase. Second the review presents a detailed description of glass ceramics in dentistry.

Second the review presents a detailed description of glass ceramics in dentistry. Oxide ceramics contain a principal crystalline phase like alumina. Types and uses of ceramics in dentistry today. Porcelain veneering materials for lithium disilicate glass ceramics are also alumino silicate glasses that contain fluoroapatite crystals rather than leucite.

Second the review presents a detailed description of glass ceramics in dentistry. Traditional feldspathic or glassy glass dominated crystalline dominated and crystalline figures 14 3 and 14 4. It is generally differentiated between highly durable biomaterials for restorative dental applications and bioactive glass ceramics for medical use for example bone replacements. Glass ceramics featuring special properties can be used as a basis to develop biomaterials.

In detail this paper presents one biomaterial from each of these two groups of materials. Ceramics are widely used in dentistry due to their ability to mimic the optical characteristics of enamel and dentine as well as for their biocompatibility and chemical durability. Today s dental ceramics may be roughly classified into four types. It is notable that only oxide ceramics are used in dentistry since nonoxide ceramics are difficult to process.
