[The influence of surface treatments on non-precious metal-ceramics alloys (author's transl)]. 1980

E Kawada

In this study, the author attempted to find out the suitable methods of surface treatments for non-precious metal-ceramics alloys. Three Ni-Cr system alloys in the market, (Gemini II, Euro-ceram and Wiron S) were used. The shear bond strength was measured under the various conditions, varying the heating temperatures of pre-oxidation treatment and finishing methods of the metal surface. A specially designed apparatus which had been improved by the author, was used to measure the shear bod strength of the metal-ceramics. The following results were obtained. 1. The testing method improved was found better as a means of measuring the bond strength. Because the shear bond strength which was obtained by this testing method was hardly affected by the compressive force originating from porcelain contraction or the strength of alloys. 2. In the case of Gemini II and Euro-ceram, the influence of the finishing treatment on the properties was great. The coarser the surface roughness, the greater the value of the shear bond strength. 3. In the case of Wiron S, the influence of the pre-oxidation treatment was great. The higher the temperature of treatment, the greater the value of shear bond strength. 4. The optimum surface treatment of metal was obtained among three alloys respectively. The shear bond strength of Gemini II was greater than the others under any condition. In the case of Euro-ceram, the highest bond strength was obtained under the coarser surface condition regardless of the temperature of pre-oxidation treatment. In the case of Wiron S, the highest bond strength was obtained by the surface which was finished by the #600 emerypaper and the higher temperature of pre-oxidation treatment.

D002857 Chromium A trace element that plays a role in glucose metabolism. It has the atomic symbol Cr, atomic number 24, and atomic weight 52. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP85-002,1985), chromium and some of its compounds have been listed as known carcinogens.
D003722 Dental Alloys A mixture of metallic elements or compounds with other metallic or metalloid elements in varying proportions for use in restorative or prosthetic dentistry. Alloy, Dental,Alloys, Dental,Dental Alloy
D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
