All-porcelain restorative and cosmetic dentistry is now popular in hospitals and clinics, as well as various cosmetic institutions. Some people objectively look at its advantages and disadvantages, some people like to hold it up as a miracle weapon, the most we can learn in the doctor’s mouth is what it is, how much it costs, how long it can be used, and few patients know how a full porcelain teeth are actually made and worn into your mouth. This article takes you on an easy-to-understand journey through the process of all-porcelain dentistry. These are not the secrets of the dental industry, but as patients less attention and relative lack of expertise so that doctors rarely mentioned in the conversation, and probably every patient who wants to make or have all-porcelain teeth would like the doctor to be able to show them the process, simple and direct. Patients who have had porcelain or all-porcelain teeth may know that when the doctor grinds your teeth in the dental chair, he or she makes an impression of your teeth (commonly known as a bite impression). The process of making an all-porcelain dental impression begins the moment the impression leaves your mouth. 1, from the dental impression to the plaster model, to accurately replicate the shape and position of your teeth. Why do you need to bite a dental impression? It is because your all-porcelain teeth must be made by dental technicians outside the mouth to complete the production, so the technicians want to play their superb skills, your teeth do that precision and beauty, the first can not be separated from a pair of 99.9% accurate impressions. The reason why impressions cannot be 100% accurate, excluding all human factors, is that the physical and chemical properties of the impression material itself may allow for minor errors during the transfer, placement and infusion process. (At present, the more accurate impression material is silicone rubber impression, the cost is relatively high) The infusion of fine super hard plaster to turn the dental impression, so that your oral form will jump in front of your eyes, the production of all-ceramic teeth is thus begun. 2, what is CAM/CAD (a bit of high-tech fashion)? The Chinese translation is Computer Aided Design and Fabrication (CAD) technology. Basically, all of our common imported all-porcelain brands use this processing technology. Similar to the working principle of computer numerical control lathe. Imported to the computer dental model data, computer-controlled mini-lathe for precise cutting, to say a little earthy, similar to the principle of computer key 3, plaster model of the process journey (trimming, scanning) after the plaster model infusion, technicians to process it, the location of the need to make all-porcelain teeth are separated and placed in the model scanner for model scanning. The principle is to use a scanning camera to scan the tooth in 360° and then synthesize a 3D image on a computer. (PS: often some dental crown name XX digital dental center, in fact, any need to use the computer to transfer information can be called digital, even if it is a simple dental film on the computer, bullying us do not know high-tech – -|) 4, zirconia porcelain block computer-aided cutting the so-called Zirconia material prototype is zirconia porcelain block (PS: the highest strength of all-porcelain materials). When the computer design is completed, the porcelain block is placed in the CNC lathe, and automatic and precise cutting can be performed. 5, the completed prototype of the zirconia base crown After the cutting is completed, the basic prototype of the zirconia crown can be placed on the plaster model to try it on, to check the fit between the zirconia crown and the model, the thickness profile, etc. is appropriate. 6, the surface decorative porcelain aesthetic shaping (form, color, translucency will be perfectly presented) Zirconia porcelain block itself both a variety of colors to choose from, its good color-covering properties can completely cover the tooth itself defects, after this, the technician will play their strong aesthetic skills on the base crown layered shaping, with different colors of porcelain powder for color mixing, comparison, in order to create a different tooth simulation effect. 7, high-temperature sintering molding, model trial wear After the completion of the art sculpture, is the automatic high-temperature sintering so that the tooth final shape, fresh all-porcelain teeth so out of the oven. Of course, before returning to the doctor to undergo strict factory inspection to ensure that its quality qualified 8, the doctor will wear all-porcelain teeth into your mouth, restore your perfect smile When you see the doctor again, hope is in his hands, and your satisfaction with the smile actually condensed the efforts of many people and pay, let us pay tribute to the heroes behind the scenes.
