Technologies for Overcoming Fragility in Dental
Technology is advancing in the investigation of the ceramic materials used as part of majority in their composition and combined to reach the optimal goal of maintaining the positive qualities of ceramics such as aesthetics and resistance, and improve their weaknesses (abrasiveness and fragility).
The DRM (Diamond Crown) has in its composition to 80% linked by a ceramic matrix 20% PEX (Epoxine Phenolic Monomer). The fact nanoceramic use of different shapes and sizes PEX joined by an array of physical and biological characteristics comparable to natural tooth and the gold, makes us a material with the appearance of a ceramic. In fact it could be defined as a ceramic microelastica with the ability to work as a composite both laboratory and clinical (linear shrinkage of 0.2% versus the ceramic is 17%).
PolicerĂ¡mica name is used to differentiate the composites which are basically made of a resin-based matrix and Bis-GMA or UDMA and an inorganic filler such as silicon dioxide, which have nothing to do with the characteristics of PEX.
The technological superiority of PEX in relation to composites based on Bis-GMA or UDMA, both biologically and mechanically, is reflected in the soft tissue integration (it is absolutely biocompatible since it has a cytotoxicity level of zero and it is hypoallergenic ) and being able to use it with confidence in the repair of pottery and clothing without metal bridge with a pontic with guaranteed long-term success.
This material with the passage of time has the ability to mimic natural teeth, unlike the pottery remains unchanged over time. Based adhesive cementation of the material makes it act as a single block when chewing.
Their low water absorption ensures color stability and ensures excellent gingival health, less plaque retention and pigments. Material is a fluorescent and opalescent. Thanks to their biomechanical properties allows the performance of inlays, onlays and veneers aesthetic. The DRM is a material that we use in daily clinical practice to restore teeth in the most biocompatible and natural as possible.
