PFM Crown Steps Mexico ā Manufacturing And TimeFrames
The material presents as powder to be mixed with liquid forming a slurry that is used to build the restoration up
Ceramic ingot is fused and cast in a refractory (investment) mold made by the lost wax technique
Base Metal Alloys ā most popular for PFMās. ļµ Contain NO noble metals ā āNon-Preciousā
Metal is relatively stable when in a solid state, the metal mold it must be heated beyond its melting range. When cooled, metal forms a crystalline solid.
Bonding of porcelain to the metal Copings. Certain metal system (electro-forming) requires the application of specific bonding paste before building-up the porcelain.
PFM Crown Parts , Porcelain And Metal Content And Composition
These restorations are composed of; Metal substructure (Coping) supporting a ceramic veneer those are chemically and mechanically-bonded together.
PARTS OF PFM ( PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL)
These restorations are composed of; Metal substructure (Coping) supporting a ceramic veneer those are chemically and mechanically-bonded together
Core: cast metallic framework. Also known as coping.
Opaque porcelain : first layer consisting of porcelain modified with opacifying oxides
Mask the darkness of the oxidized metal framework
Metal-ceramic bond
Final buildup of dentine and enamel porcelain.
Bonding of porcelain to the metal copings
Mechanical bonding:
ā Infiltration (flow) of the fused ceramic into the surface irregularities of the metal coping.
ā Sandblasting of the metal surface or using plastic beads during waxing are important for this issue.
Chemical bonding:
ā Ionic bond between the metal oxide layer and the opaque porcelain.
ā Metal degassing is important for oxide formation, removing the surface contaminants and greases.
ā Thin oxide layer (in case of noble alloys) provides stronger bond than the thick one (in case of base metal alloys).
Coeff. of thermal expansion mismatch:
As a result of higher metal contraction on cooling.
ā The fused porcelain will be sucked (attracted) more strongly into the metal surface irregularities.
ā Residual compressive stresses will developed in and strengthen the porcelain.
Application of a special bonding agent:
Certain metal system (electro-forming) requires the application of specific bonding paste before building-up the porcelain.
PFM Vs Zirconia,Porcelain Or Ceramic Crowns
Advantages
Porcelain or ceramic crowns provide the best and most natural look. They match your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and color
Disadvantages
They are not as strong as metal crowns. Porcelain crowns can last a long time, but they have to be well taken care of.
All-porcelain crowns can range between $800-$3,000
Advantages
Theyāve been around for over 50 years. We know they work well.
Disadvantages
The metal in these crowns may cause a grey line at the gumline.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can cost $500-$1,500
Advantages
They are strong and long-lasting (less possibilities of chipping or breaking).
Disadvantages
Their strength can make the teeth they bite against wear down easily.
Zirconia Crowns and E-max crowns cost approximately the same as all- porcelain crowns
PFM Crown Radiograph (Check The Fit)
Is necessary check with X Ray / 3D Scan, the space between the teeth and mandible, for made a prototype of the teeths in the CAD/CAM for better results of the porcelain fused metal crown.
