metal by heating them to a suitable temperature
below the solidus of the substrate metals &
applying a filler metal having liquidus not
exceeding 450 degree centigrade that melts and
flows by capillary attraction between the parts
with out appreciably affecting the dimension of
joined structure.
• In dentistry,many metals are joined by
brazing,although,the term soldering is used.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. • BRAZING:The process of joining metals above
450 degree centigrade.
• WELDING:-The joining of two or more metal
pieces by applying heat, pressure,or both with or
without filler material, to produce localized union
across the interface through fusion or diffusion.
• SOLDERING FLUX: A material used to prevent
the formation of,or to dissolve & facilitate
removal of,oxides & other undesirable substances
that may reduce the quality or strength of the
soldered metal structure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS OF
SOLDER MATERIALS

• Fusion temperature 90-180 degree Fahrenheit
below the parts to be joined.
• Free flowing when melted.
• Resistance to pitting.
• At least as strong as the parts to be joined.
• Color compatible with the parts to be joined.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. SOLDERING FLUXES
• Flux is Latin word means flow.Dental do not
flow or wet the metallic surfaces that have an
oxide layer.The flux aid in the removal of the
oxide layer so as to increase the flow of the
molten solder.
• In addition the flux also dissolves the
impurities,prevents the oxidation of the metals.
• Fluxes used commonly are:
• Borax glass– 55%.
• Boric acid --35%
• Silica-- 10%.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. • ANTI FLUX
• Anti flux is a material that is used to confine the
flow of the molten solder over the metals being
joined.
• The commonly used anti fluxes are pencil
markings, graphite lines, iron rouge.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. Fundamental considerations
• Position accurately the uncontaminated parts to
be joined.
• Determine the solder gaps and configuration.
• Place the flux and solder within the joint space.
• Heat the parent metal and solder until the solder
flows, filling the joint space.
• Remove the heat as soon as possible.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. MECHANISM OF PORCELAIN
–METAL ATTACHMENT
• Four theories have been proposed to
explain the processes that lead to
porcelain-to-metal bonding:
• 1. Van der waals forces.
• 2. Mechanical retention.
• 3. Compression bonding.
• 4. Direct chemical bonding.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
85. VAN DER WAALS FORCES.
1. The attraction between charged atoms that are in
intimate contact yet do not actually exchange
electrons is derived from van der waals forces.
2. These secondary forces are generated more by a
physical attraction between charged particles than by
an actual sharing or exchange of electrons in
primary(chemical) bonding.
3. Van der waals forces are generally weak, because
nearly all the positive and negative charges present in
these atoms are satisfied in a single molecule.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86. 4. It is also believed that bonding entails some
measure of true adhesion based on the extent
to which the metal substructure is wetted by
the softened dental porcelain.
5. The better the wetting of the metal surface,
greater the vanderwaal’s forces.
6. Furthermore, porcelain’s adhesion to metal
can be diminished or enhanced by alterations
in the surface characters(texture) of the
porcelain-bearing surface on the substructure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. 7. A rough, contaminated metal surface will
inhibit wetting and reduce the vanderwaals
bond strength. On the other hand, a slightly
textured surface, created by finishing with
uncontaminated aluminum oxide abrasives
and followed by air abrasion(blasting) with 50
microns aluminium oxide, reportedly will
promote wetting by the liquid porcelain.
8. Improved wetting is then accompanied by an
increase in adhesion through vanderwaals
forces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
88. MECHANICAL RETENTION:
• 1. The porcelain-bearing area of a metal
casting contains many microscopic
irregularities into which opaque porcelain may
flow when fired.
• 2. Air abrading the metal with aluminum
oxide is believed to enhance mechanical
retention further by eliminating surface
irregularities ( stress concentrations) while
increasing the overall surface area available
for bonding.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
89. 3. Despite it’s presence, mechanical retention’s
contribution to bonding may be relatively
limited.
4. Dental porcelain does not require a
roughened area to bond to metal. In fact
porcelain will fuse to a well polished surface,
but some surface roughness is effective in
increasing bonding forces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
90. COMPRESSION BONDING
• Dental porcelain is strongest under
compression and weakest under tension.
• Hence , if the coefficient of thermal
expansion of the metal substructure is greater
than that of the porcelain placed over it, the
porcelain should be placed under
compression on cooling.
• 1. When cooling a restoration with a full-
porcelain veneer, the metal contracts faster
than the porcelain but is resisted by the
porcelain’s lower coefficient of thermal
expansion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
91. • 2. This difference in contraction rates
creates tensile forces on the metal and
corresponding compressive forces on the
porcelain. Without the wraparound effect
created in a full porcelain restoration, there
is less likelihood this compression bonding
will develop fully.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
92. THERMAL EXPANSION
• Generally substances increase in the length
and volume when they are heated. This
phenomenon is called as thermal expansion.
• The specific rate of change in length of a
particular substance per unit change in
temperature is called coefficient of linear
expansion.
• The rate of change in volume is called
coefficient of cubical expansion.
• These may generally be called coefficient of
thermal expansion or simply thermal
expansion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. RELATION BETWEEN METAL AND
PORCELAIN
• When porcelain is fused to metal, three
possible relations can exist in thermal
expansion:
• 1. Thermal expansion (or contraction) is
greater in porcelain than in metal.
• 2. Thermal expansion (or contraction) is
equal between metal and porcelain.
• 3. Thermal expansion (or contraction) is
greater in metal than in porcelain.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
94. THERMAL EXPANSION IS GREATER IN
PORCELAIN THAN IN METAL.
• Greater thermal expansion in porcelain means
that during the time after porcelain has lost
thermoplastic fluidity in the course of cooling,
but after melting of porcelain at high
temperature, porcelain is apt to contract to be
smaller and shorter than metal until it reaches
room temperature.
• Therefore, assuming that they are separated,
there will be a difference in length between
them.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95. • Hence porcelain becomes shorter after cooling
although they had the same length before
heating.
• In the ceramo-metallic system, porcelain side
is subjected to tensile stress while the metal
side is subjected to compressive stress as they
are fused together. As a result, the porcelain,
which is very weak against tensile stress, will
crack immediately.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
96. THERMAL EXPANSION IS EQUAL
BETWEEN METAL AND PORCELAIN
• As metal and porcelain expand or contract at
the same rate, there will be no difference in
dimensions between them at all.
• As a result, porcelain receives no stress from
metal and thus cracking does not occur in the
stable porcelain unless undue external force is
applied.
• It is very difficult, however, to obtain the
identical curves for coefficient of thermal
expansion between porcelain and metal, and
under ordinary conditions there is a
discrepancy to some extent.www.indiandentalacademy.com
97. THERMAL EXPANSION IS GREATER
IN METAL THAN IN PORCELAIN.
• In general, this thermal expansion
relationship exists between metal and
porcelain in the dental metal-ceramic system.
• The objective of such a relationship is to
obtain the most stable assembly after firing.
• Fractures do not usually occur since porcelain
has very high compression strength, although
the porcelain side is subjected to compressive
stress as the metal contracts more than
porcelain during cooling to ambient
temperature after firing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
98. • However, this does not mean that cracking
will never occur.
• If there is a significant difference in thermal
expansion between metal and porcelain, a
shearing force acts on their interface, and if
stress is sufficiently great, cracking, or
fracture may occur.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. CHEMICAL BONDING
• The single most significant mechanism of
porcelain-metal attachment is a chemical bond
between dental porcelain and the oxides on
the surface of the metal substructure.
• There are those who believe that two
mechanisms might exist within the chemical
(or molecular) bonding theory.
• According to one hypothesis,the oxide layer
is permanently bonded to the metal
substructure on one side while the dental
porcelain remains on the other.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. • The oxide layer itself is sandwiched in
between the metal substructure and the
opaque porcelain.
• This sandwich theory is undesirable in that a
thick oxide layer might exist that would
weaken the attachment of metal to porcelain.
• The second, and more likely, theory suggests
that the surface oxides dissolve, or are
dissolved by the opaque porcelain layer.
• The porcelain is then brought into atomic
contact with the metal surface for enhanced
wetting and direct chemical bonding so metal
and porcelain share electrons.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. • From a chemical standpoint, both covalent
and ionic bonds are thought to form but
only a monomolecular( single) layer of
oxides is believed to be required for
chemical bonding to occur.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
102. PORCELAIN METAL BOND FAILURES
• Metal ceramic alloys, whether noble or base
metals, all oxidize differently because of
variations in their composition.
• If the oxidation process is not performed
properly,the subsequent porcelain-metal bond
may be weak. The consequences of bond
failure,be the failure immediate or
delayed,obviously costly.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103. PORCELAIN DELAMINATION
• With base metal alloys, the separation of
porcelain veneer from the metal sub structure
can be more a loss of the attachment of the
oxide layer that is either too thick or is poorly
adherent to the metal sub structure.
• The porcelain and oxide film retain their bond
yet become detached or delaminated at the
porcelain-metal junction.
• Over oxidation is the particular problem with
heavily oxidizing base metals
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. • In some instance bond failure may not be due to
chemical bond failure.in contrarary,it may be due
to too thick of the oxide layer or poor adherence
of the oxide layer to the metal structure.
• Excessive absorption of the oxides by porcelains
can lower the coefficient of thermal expansion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
105. INCOMPITENT MATERIALS
• Bond failure may occur due to physical
incompatibility between porcelain and metal.
• The difference in the coefficient of thermal
expansion of porcelain and the metal may
contribute to the failure of the bonding.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106. OVER OXIDATION/UNDER
OXIDATION
• The oxidation procedure varies for alloys of
different compositions.so the process it self
should not be taken for granted.
• No one technique can be used for every type of
metal ceramic alloy.
• Careful processing followed by an assessment of
post oxidation appearance of each casting will
ensure that the procedure was accomplished
correctly.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
107. • Over oxidation or under oxidation should be
reprocessed accordingly until uniform oxide of
desired color and thickness recommended for the
alloy involved.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
108. CONTAMINATION
• That that are demonstrated some form of
contamination may not have to be remade.
• Simple finishing, a substructure’s porcelain
bearing area may be all that is necessary when
surface de bonding becomes evident.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
110. PORCELAIN FURNACE
• Three types of the furnaces are available:
• Manual.
• Automatic.
• Programmable.
• There certain futures common to all types of the
furnaces.
• For example all low fusing porcelain are fired under
vacuum rather than in atmospheric pressure.so, all
furnaces are equipped so the firing chamber or muffle
can be sealed and, with the aid of a pump,establish &
maintain a vacuum during firing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111. • In the event the vacuum does not reach an
adequate level, or if the firing chamber does not
properly seal, resulting in a loss of vacuum
during the firing cycle, the quality of the fired
porcelain will be compromised.
• There will be significant loss of the translucency,
And vitality in the fired porcelain.
A porcelain furnace should have an adjustable rate
of climb from the low entry temperature up to
high firing temperature.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
112. • Most furnaces can also be set to hold the work at
a temperature for a a specified length of time as
determined by case by case.
• There two basic categories depending on the
manner of entry into the muffle.
• Form front to back
• Front loading furnaces.
• The front loading furnaces hotter near back of the
muffle and cooler near door.
• Those sub structures oxidized in the rear most
portion of the muffle will have a significantly
heavier oxide layer
www.indiandentalacademy.com
113. • Furnaces in the second category have a vertical
entry in to the muffle. With the vertical loading
design,the muffle flat form with the restoration in
the center is raised up to furnace muffle.
• The vertical loading design reportedly provides a
more uniform temperature distribution
throughout the muffle and allows the work to be
completely surrounded by the heating elements.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
115. CAPILLARY ACTION
• The technique of bottling a wet build up with
absorbent paper uses surface tension to with draw
liquid and packs the porcelains particle together.
• Capillary action or surface tension alone does not
remove all available liquid.
• The cyclic action of vibration,or whipping
followed by bottling is repeated until free liquid
can no longer be forced to the surface of
porcelain.
• Usually delicate touch require to initiate this
mechanism.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
116. • An overly aggressive technique could dislodge
the porcelain buildup form underlying metal sub
structure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
117. VIBRATION
• The easiest and simplest form of vibration created
by passing serrated instrument over the neck of
the hemostat.
• If the restoration is left on the cast,the entire cast
can be tapped or vibrated.
• Whether the restoration is vibrated on hemostat
or on cast the end result of vibration will be to
force the excess water to the porcelain surface.
• At this point, with the help of tissue paper the
surface liquid is removed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
118. • There several devices to provide mechanical
vibration such as, vibrating brushes, spatulas,and
ultrasonic condensers.
• Surface tension is the force that causes all
liquids to contract to their smallest possible
surface area.
• This property accounts for the transformation of
the water droplets in to the spherical mass.
• In a wet bulk of porcelain, this force helps to
pack the porcelain more tightly when vibrating
& bottling.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
119. SPATULATION
• With this form of condensation,a spatula or
porcelain carver is used to apply,rub the
porcelain buildup to force the liquid to the
surface.
• This technique brings with it a greater likelihood
of porcelain dislodgement, particularly if too
much pressure is used especially with initial
build up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
120. WHIPPING
• This method actually be nothing more than
variation of vibration technique.
• As the porcelain built up, a no. 10 sable brush is
rapidly moved over the porcelain surface with a
whipping motion.the whipping action brings the
liquid to the out side surface of the bottling.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
121. DRY POWDWER ADDITION:
• This method is less widely used.
• This technique also referred as brush application
method.
• Dry porcelain powder sprayed over the wet
porcelain surface.
• This uses the existing liquid to moisten the
powder addition.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
124. GLASS ROD TECHNIQUE
• First, lightly wet the
oxidized metal metal substructure to
be veneered with distilled water and gently
vibrate the casting for thorough wetting.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
125. • Use point end of glass
rod to apply the
opaque
porcelain.begin the
opaquing most convex
portion of the metal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
126. • Move the opaque
towards the porcelain
metal junction from
one inter proximal
area to to other &
cover the incisal area.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
127. • Lightly tap the
hemostat with metal
instrument to
condense the opaque
porcelain and excess
opaquing liquid will
raise to the surface.

128. • Place the edge of
tissue,against the an
edge of the moist
opaque porcelain.hold
the tissue in place until
the liquid is absorbed
and takes on a dull
appearance.

129. • Blend the opaque at
the porcelain metal
junction to establish a
gradual transition from
opaque to external
surface.

130. BRUSH TECHNIQUE
• Opaque can also be
applied with the
brush.load the brush
tip with opaque
porcelain and carry it
to the coping.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
131. • Application of the
opaque twice is also
recommended.initially
thin layer of the
opaque and complete
masking is followed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
133. • Carefully return the
cleaned,opaqued
coping to the master
cast.place folded
tissue or bottling paper
on the lingual side of
the restoration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
134. • To minimize the
potential for entrapping
air in the porcelain,
move the tip of the
pointed brush through
the mixed dentin
porcelain.remove the
brush with dentin
porcelain captured on
the brush tip.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
135. • Apply the porcelain to
the most convex area
on the restoration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
136. • Gently push the
porcelain to the
intrproximal,incisal
areas.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137. • Move the porcelain
down to the incisal
edge and lightly blot
the build up to
condense the porcelain
on the substructure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
138. • To create the mesial-
facial line angle,wipe
the brush to dry it
slightly and reduce the
pointing then lightly
move from the mesial
gingival area to
mesial-incisal area.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
139. • Point the brush and
add additional dentin
porcelain to lingual
aspect of the incisal
edge.smooth and
condense the incisal
edge from the lingual
and facial aspects.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
142. • Use a razor knife to
cut back the incisal
edge from between
1.0to1.5mm
www.indiandentalacademy.com
143. • Remove dentin
porcelain at the mesial
inter proximal line
angle.extend the cut to
the junction of the
middle and gingival
1/3rd
for younger
patients.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
144. • At the distal
intrproximal line
angle,make a cut form
the incisal edge
towards the gingival
1/3rd
as far as required
for the esthetics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
145. • Examine the
restoration from an
incisal view for
symmetry and
adequacy of the cut
back.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
148. • Add more enamel
porcelain and move it
across the facial
surface in the incisal
one third.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
149. • Blend the enamel
porcelain at the
junction of middle and
gingival 1/3rd
&begin
to establish the incisal
edge & condense the
porcelain by blotting
periodically.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
150. • Blend the enamel
porcelain into gingival
1/3rd
on the facial
surface.Recreate the
interproximal contours
and line angles.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
151. • Shape the mesial-
incisal corner as
required for each
case.examine the
build up form incisal
view&evaluate the
overall shape .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
156. • Invert the cast & place
translucent porcelain
in the two
developmental
groove.apply enamel
porcelain to the inter
proximal areas.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
157. • Continue this process
until the entire crown
is built to full contour.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
158. • Finally, use the
whipping brush to
gently smooth the
entire porcelain build
up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
159. • Once the porcelain has
been fired,you should
be able to observe
demonstrable
mamelons in the
restoration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
161. • Apply and condense
opaque
porcelain.Cover any
gray areas,and fire the
prosthesis.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
162. • Return the opaqued
FPD to the master cast
with a piece of tissue
paper cut to cover the
entire pontic area.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
163. • Add a small portion of
dentin porcelain to the
under side of the
pontic on the FPD
frame work.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
164. • Return the frame work to
the master cast and gently
rock it back and forth
until it seats
completely.Remove the
frame work and inspect
the tissue side of the
pontic.this area should
cover completely with
porcelain and well
condensed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
165. • Place the frame work
back on the master
cast and apply dentin
porcelain or add and
condense opacous
dentin to the cervical
areas of the three
components.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
166. • Complete the dentin
build up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
167. • Create the
developmental
lobes.Use thin razor
knife to cut through
inter proximal areas
and individualize the
teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
170. • Measure the mesial-
distal width of each
tooth with a Boley
gauge.compare that
measurement with
porcelain build up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
171. • Use a knife or other
instrument to make
any necessary
adjustments in the
mesial-distal width.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
172. • Facial view of the
build up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
173. • Lingual view of the
build up.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
174. • Three unit FPD after
firing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
175. FIRING PROCEDURES.
• The large bulk of the build up will require more
time to dry and pre heat than the opaque
porcelain.
• Put the restoration on saggar tray place it on the
muffle stand of the furnace.
• Properly matured porcelain have a slightly
orange peel appearance when fired correctly.
• Do not under fire the porcelain.porcelain that has
not matured properly has no shine to the surface
& internally has cloudy appearance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
176. • Restorations that are under fired porcelain often
have to be stripped form metal and rebuilt.
• Over fired porcelains appears to be glazed and
the surface has little or none of the pebbly
appearance.
• The firing temperature is usually lowered 10
degrees with each correction firing, so that initial
build up does not get affected.
