Introduction
▪ Strength concerns compromised some of the beauty of
porcelain crowns.
▪ Because of the relatively low tensile strength and
brittleness of the porcelain, it has been generally fused to a
metal substrate to increase resistance to fracture.
▪ However, this metal base can affect the aesthetics of the
porcelain by decreasing the light transmission through the
porcelain.
Introduction
▪ In addition, some patients have allergic reactions or
sensitivity to various metals.
▪ These drawbacks have-prompted the development of new
metal-free ceramic systems that do not require metal, yet
have the high strength and precision fit of ceramo-metal
systems.
Introduction
▪ The word “ceramics” is derived from keramikos, which is the
ancient Greek word for "earthen", and most commonly
used for inorganic materials consisting of one or more
metals combined with a non-metallic element, usually
oxygen.
▪ Dental ceramic technology is one of the fastest growing
areas of dental materials research and development.
Historical
Background
Historical Background
▪ Approximately 1774, a Parisian apothecary Alexis
Duchateau, with assistance of a Parisian dentist Nicholas
Dubois de Chemant, made the first successful porcelain
dentures.
▪ Land (1889) describes a method of improving the fit of
“porcelain fillings” by burnishing platinum foil directly into
the preparation.
▪ With the industrial revolution, the manufacture of porcelain
denture teeth increased.
Historical Background
▪ In 1950s , with development of acrylic resins in dentistry ,
the use of porcelain declined .
▪ The development of and successful use of porcelain fused
to metal in 1960s restored the use of porcelain in fixed
prosthodontics.
▪ The first comercial porcelain was developed by Vita
Zahnfabrik in about 1963.
▪ In 1965 , Mc lean and Hughes developed dental aluminous
core ceramic consisting of glass matrix containing between
40 and 50 % Al2O3
Historical Background
▪ In 1968 , MacCulloch first proposed the use of glass ceramic
in dentistry.
▪ He used a continuous glass-molding process to produce
denture teeth.
▪ He also suggested that it should be possible to fabricate
crowns and inlays by centrifugal casting of molten glass.
Historical Background
▪ In 1970s and 1980s , the porcelain fused to metal
restorations became the primary restoration of choice for
many clinicians .
▪ In the 1980s and early 1990s , patient demands for
improved esthetics results have led to the development of
many ceramic systems .
Historical Background
▪ Glass infiltrated ceramics (INCERAM ) were introduced in
1988. The strength of these ceramics is about 3 to 4 times
greater than earlier alumina core material.
▪ In 1990s , pressable glass-ceramics ( IPS Empress )
containing approximately 34 vol % leucite was introduced
that provided a strength and marginal adaptation .
Historical Background
▪ CAD/CAM has been introduced into dentistry as early as
1970 which has now revolutionized the designing and
processing of all ceramic crowns and bridges by cutting
down the time for impression making and processing of the
ceramic crowns and bridges.
▪ First chair side-produced ceramic inlay based on CAD-CAM
unit (Cerec, Siemens) was introduced in 1985.
▪ Procera system was introduced in 1993.
Historical Background
▪ Second generation Cerec system i.e. Cerec-2, was
introduced in 1994.
▪ Third generation Cerec system i.e. Cerec-3, was introduced
in 2000.

Application of CAD/ CAM techniques was actively
pursued by three groups of researches
Group supported by Henson International of France.
Combined group effort between the University of Zurich
and Brains, Brandestini Instruments of Switzerland.
University of Minnesota, supported by the U.S. National
Institute of Dental Research.

Data processing – By Shape recognition software
It has a library (memory) describing theoretical teeth.
The system uses:
3-D probe system based on electro-optical method
Surface modelling and screen display
Automatic milling by a numerically controlled 4-axis machine
Swiss system
Optical impression - Optical topographic scanning using a 3-D
oral camera
Data processing - By an interactive CAD unit

being acquired
Electronically controlled 3-axis N/ C milling machine

Conclusion
▪ Research and developments were carried out to improve
strength comparable to metal ceramic restorations
▪ The highest-strength materials may be suitable for high-
stress applications, including FDPs. However, they are
relatively new and still lack the support of long-term clinical
experience and research.
