The titanium opaque porcelain was synthesized through sol-gel using borate-silicate system. The porcelain was characterized by DSC-TG, X-ray diffraction, N adsorption-desorption isotherms and scanning electron microscope tests. The results of DSC showed that the nitrates could be decomposed completely when the bioglass xerogel precursor was heat-treated at 760 ℃. The XRD results showed that the NaCaSiO was the major phase of the opaque porcelain. The synthesized opaque porcelain powders had an average particle size of about 5-25 µm with nanopores of around 50-70 nm on the surface. The BET average surface area of the porcelain was 12.67 m/g, while the average pore diameters for adsorption and desorption were 9.73 and 10.16 nm, respectively. The flexure strength significantly increased from 47.4 MPa to 116.2 MPa with the sintering temperature increasing from 575 ℃ to 600 ℃. The XRD, FTIR and EDS results proved that hydroxyapatite had formed on the porcelain surface after incubation in simulated body fluid.

Objectives:  Fabrication processes affect accuracy of restoration. This study compared marginal accuracy of ceramic veneer metal upon different metal substructure fabrication techniques, ceramic veneering methods, stages, and sites of restoration.

Material And Methods:  A prepared premolar metal abutment was used to fabricate 96 metal substructures from 4 techniques: cast metal with traditionally impressed tooth (CmTt), cast metal with digitally milled wax (CmDw), sintered metal with digitally impressed tooth (SmDt), and sintered metal with digitally impressed stone model (SmDm).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the thickness of porcelain veneers and the type of luting resin affect the opalescence of veneers used for discolored teeth.
  • Ninety porcelain veneer specimens were created and grouped based on the type of porcelain and whether resin cement was applied, with varying thicknesses analyzed using statistical methods.
  • Results showed that thicker veneer layers and the inclusion of opaque materials significantly enhanced the opalescence of the restorations, indicating a positive correlation between thickness and aesthetic performance.

Article Synopsis
  • The research investigates how oxidation heat treatment (OHT) and dual opaquing techniques affect the bond strength between metal and ceramic in dental materials.
  • Eighty samples were created, divided into two main groups based on oxidation treatment, and further categorized by single or double layers of opaque porcelain, followed by flexural strength testing.
  • Results showed that the combination of OHT and double layering (group A2) resulted in the highest bond strength, highlighting the significance of these techniques in enhancing ceramo-metal restorations.
