what are modern high strength ceramics? • lithium disilicate (e.Max) • zirconia “A factor critical to the strength and abrasiveness of ceramic materials is how the clinician adjusts, grinds, and polishes the ceramic restoration on delivery and cementation.” – John A. Sorensen, DMD, PhD, FACP
modernceramics • “…there is no correlation between the hardness of a ceramic and the potential abrasion of natural tooth structure.” – Sorensen • microscopic surface roughness of the ceramic = abrasion • finer the grain structure = lower the wear • finer the grain structure = the more polishable • zr/ld = Finest Grain Structure
zirconia~1200MPa lithium disilicate ~400MPa • pressed or milled • strongest • opaque • substructure or monolithic • pressed, milled or layered • second strongest • translucent • can be pressed within 2/10ths mm for anterior restorations (veneers)
zirconia~1200MPa lithium disilicate ~400MPa • BruxZir(Glidewell) • Lava Zirconia (3M ESPE) • Cercon(Dentsply) • In-Ceram (Vita) • Zirlux (Zahn) e.Max (IvoclarVivadent)
solutions • occlusal • low RPM, low pressure • 100K RPM • anatomy • low RPM, low Pressure • 100K RPM
solutions heat = micro fractures heatless grinder for adjustment (Max 240°F)
solutions • LD Grinders • pink medium recommended for Lithium Disilicate • Green Coarse recommended for Zirconia • DialiteDiamonds • adjust/removal • removal, provided copious amounts of water, 100K rpm and light, steady touch
