TiNi Fixed Dentures with a Ceramic Coating

Abstract

The work presents the study of a ceramic material that would provide a satisfactory bond of the commercially available ceramics to Titanid alloy. Polished sections of Titanid alloy and ceramics supplied by various manufacturers were examined.  The desired intermediate opaquer layer was fabricated from the following raw ingredients: potassium feldspar originating from Krasnoyarsk deposit and chemically pure barium oxide BaO, sodium carbonate Na2CO3, zinc oxide ZnO, hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3(OH), and titanium oxide TiO2. The adhesion strength of Triceram dental ceramic to Titanid alloy with the use of the transitional ceramic opaquer appeared to be fairly high and ranged from 35 to 45 MPa.
