DENTAL BITE<\/h2>

Used in case of bruxism or dental malocclusion, the dental splint is a cushion that is positioned between the arches and serves to cushion the shocks and rubbing due to the occlusion of the jaw.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two types of bite: soft and rigid.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The soft bites are made of silicone and are used above all to attenuate the friction caused by bruxism, therefore by grinding of the teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The rigid bites are made of acrylic resin and can be used to help the arches to have a correct fit between the teeth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

    CRYSTALLIZATION COOKING<\/h2>

    The crystallization process of lithium disilicate occurs in two steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • In the first phase, the metasilicates precipitate and give the glass-ceramic characteristics such that it can be easily processed for extra and intraoral occlusal retouching.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • The second, definitive phase takes place after finishing at a temperature between 840-850 \u00b0 C. At these temperatures the metasilicate dissolves completely and the disilicate crystallizes ensuring the formation of a solid microstructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      DENTAL BONDING (COOKING)<\/h2>

      Firing by the union is used for dental veneers (veneering solutions) which involve the use of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic supported by zirconium oxide.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The milling of the two components takes place separately and then they are joined later using a fusion-glass ceramic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      TEMPLATES \/ SURGICAL GUIDES<\/h2>

      The surgical guides are clinical aids used to correctly perform the positioning of the final implant.<\/span><\/p>\n

      These are transparent resin masks that once placed in the oral cavity allow the exact insertion of the surgical screw, both in terms of location and depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      LITHIUM DISILICATE<\/h2>

      Lithium disilicate is a glass-ceramic with lithium crystals that combines good mechanical strength with an excellent level of aesthetics.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It consists of 70% by volume of needle-shaped crystals in a glassy matrix. It can be both milled and pressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It can reach a strength of 450 MPa if milled or 360 MPa if pressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is a very versatile material and can be used for anterior and posterior restorations, such as frontal veneers (veneers), minimally invasive inlays and onlays, partial and total crowns, superstructures on implants, three-unit bridges.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      STL FILE (STANDARD TRIANGULATION LANGUAGE)<\/h2>

      STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. STL has several backronyms such as “Standard Triangle Language” and “Standard Tessellation Language”.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      MONOCLINE FORM<\/h2>

      To this system belong all the crystals whose internal structure is based on the shape of the parallelogram.<\/span><\/p>\n

      ‘Monoclinic’ in this case means ‘with only one inclined angle’. Monoclinic crystals, therefore, have an oblique angle.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is the\u00a0 typical shape of Zirconia before sintering.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      TETRAGONAL SHAPE<\/h2>

      It includes all crystals with a rectangular internal structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The name Tetragonal comes from the Greek tetragon, and it means quadrangular. Tetragonal minerals are normally made up of rectangular-faced crystals, sometimes vaguely delimited, other times well defined.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is the final shape of the Zirconia after sintering.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      CAM MILLING<\/h2>

      Machining with the milling cutter in radial position in order to produce a highly precise cam shape<\/span><\/p>\n

      It can be made dry (zirconia) or wet (lithium disilicate).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      GLAZING<\/h2>

      The glaze can be in paste or powder, in the fluorescent or non-fluorescent variant.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The glaze is used to give the restoration shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The degree of gloss of the glazed surface is regulated by the consistency of the glaze and the amount of glaze applied, not by the firing temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      INLAY<\/h2>

      The inlay is an indirect filling, used when the healthy dental material is too little.<\/span><\/p>\n

      There are different types of inlay: inlay, onlay, overlay.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Inlays when applied within the dental surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Onlays when they partially cover the dental surface of the molars and premolars.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Overlay when fully covering the dental surface of the molars and premolars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      ZIRCONIUM OXIDE \/ ZIRCONIA<\/h2>

      Zirconium oxide (or zirconia) is the ceramic oxide of zirconium, characterized by the chemical formula ZrO2.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is a polymorphic substance that is it can modify its crystalline structure while maintaining the original chemical composition.<\/span><\/p>\n

      At room temperature up to 1170 \u00b0 C, the crystal structure is monoclinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

      From 1170 \u00b0 C to 2370 \u00b0 C, the crystalline structure transforms into TETRAGONAL with a contraction that can reach up to 25%.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The tetragonal structure is the one used for zirconia prostheses.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      <\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

      SINTERING<\/h2>

      Sintering is a heat treatment that generates changes in the chemical structure of the material.<\/span><\/p>\n

      It is the process through which zirconium oxide passes from the monoclinic to the tetragonal shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Thanks to sintering, the prototype acquires the mechanical, chemical, and optical characteristics of Zirconia.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
