Dental Porcelain (Porcelain)

A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water. (From Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992)

1.	Fatigue 11/01/2011 - "This study assessed the fatigue resistance and failure mode of type III porcelain and composite resin veneers bonded to custom composite resin implant abutments. " 11/01/2007 - "Porcelain-veneered restorations often chip and fracture from repeated occlusal loading, making fatigue studies relevant. " 03/01/1997 - "The goal of this study was to determine if static chemical and cyclic mechanical fatigue are independent, or if they interact to produce greater than additive strength loss in a feldspathic porcelain. " 07/01/1995 - "This study was conducted to evaluate the fatigue parameters of a model porcelain based on the Weinstein patent using cyclic fatigue and to compare the parametric values obtained from cyclic fatigue tests with those from dynamic fatigue tests previously reported by Fairhurst et al. (1993). " 07/01/1993 - "The purpose of the study reported here was to evaluate the fatigue parameters of a model experimental porcelain using dynamic fatigue testing. "
2.	Tooth Wear 06/01/2009 - "In those cases in which clear aligner appliances may be appropriate, less damage may occur to existing porcelain restorations than might transpire from bonding of fixed appliances and their removal, as well as potentially reduced tooth wear during treatment. " 01/01/2012 - "In spite of this lack of evidence, often metal restorations are preferred instead of porcelain for patients in whom bruxism is presumed on the basis of tooth wear. " 09/01/2010 - "The degrees of wear of the antagonistic teeth were 0.119 ± 0.059 mm(3) in Group 1, 0.078 ± 0.063 mm(3) in Group 3, and 0.031 ± 0.033 mm(3) in Group 2. Statistical significance was found between Group 1 and Groups 2 and between Group 2 and 3, whereas no statistical significance was found between Group 1 and Group 3. Despite the limitations of this study on the evaluation of antagonistic teeth wear, the degree of antagonistic tooth wear was less in zirconia than feldspathic dental porcelain, representing that the zirconia may be more beneficial in terms of antagonistic tooth wear."
3.	Gallstones (Gallstone) 01/01/2006 - "Patients with PD should be followed carefully, because gallstones often accompany PD, and porcelain gallbladder may result, as in this patient." 04/01/2008 - "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the best treatment for children with non working gallbladder, "porcelain gallbladder" and in patients with haematologic disease and gallstones." 07/01/2004 - "All cases of gallstone ileus were atypical in that one patient had porcelain gallbladder, one had recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, and one was only 35 years of age. " 05/01/2014 - "Preventive cholecystectomy should be performed in high-risk patients (gallstones larger 3 cm; adenomatous polyps>1 cm; pancreatobiliary reflux, porcelain gallbladder, segmental adenomyomatosis, xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis). " 07/01/2010 - "However the risk of CaGb is increased in anomalous pancreaticobiliary duct junction (APBDJ), gall stones, xanthogranulomatus cholecystitis, calcified or porcelain gallbladder, cholelithiasis with typhoid carriers, gallbladder adenoma, red meat consumption and tobacco uses. "
4.	Shock 02/01/2015 - "The proteomic response of cheliped myofibril tissue in the eurythermal porcelain crab Petrolisthes cinctipes to heat shock following acclimation to daily temperature fluctuations." 05/01/2002 - "The present findings suggest that composite resin teeth and acrylic resin teeth have a higher shock absorbability than porcelain teeth." 03/01/1993 - "Resin teeth should be selected when the first requisite is high shock-absorbing ability, and porcelain teeth should be selected when the first requisite is high masticating efficiency." 03/01/1993 - "The resin teeth showed a lower elastic modulus, higher fracture toughness and shock-absorbing ability than the porcelain teeth. " 10/01/1983 - "Thermal shock testing of opaque porcelain-body porcelain discs and body porcelain discs was performed on three porcelain products. "
5.	Carcinoma (Carcinomatosis) 12/01/2014 - "Porcelain gallbladder is a very rare entity that consists of a calcification of the gallbladder wall, and is associated with carcinoma in 12.5-62% of patients, although recent studies suggest weaker association. " 01/01/2001 - "The surgical management of porcelain gallbladder is based on studies performed in 1931 and 1962, which indicated a correlation between porcelain gallbladder and carcinoma. " 06/01/2013 - "This report focuses on the rarity of occurence of Porcelain gallbladder, its differentiating histopathological features with respect to carcinoma, risk of malignancy and its treatment. " 06/01/2013 - "Here, we report a case which mimicked carcinoma during surgery and on histopathological examination was reported as Porcelain gallbladder. " 06/01/2013 - "Porcelain Gallbladder Mimicking Carcinoma Gallbladder-a Case Report and Review of Literature."
