[Research on the matching between alumina-glass composite and Vita alpha veneering ceramic]
1Department of Prosthodontics, College of Stomatology, West China University of Medical Science, Chengdu 610041, China.
Objective:
To investigate the matching between self-made alumina-glass composite and Vita alpha veneering ceramic.
Methods:
By using thermal shock test and SEM.
Results:
The crazing resistance of alumina glass composite via Vita alpha ceramic expressed as the mean delta T was 170 degrees C. SEM micrograph indicate that Vita alpha ceramic fused to alumina glass composite, and no crack between the combination interface.
Conclusion:
Alumina-glass composite can match to the Vita alpha ceramic fairly.
