CERAMIC NANOCOMPOSITE FOR DENTAL RESTORATION AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING THE SAME.

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a ceramic compound that mainly comprises powders of zirconium-alumina reinforced by alumina nanofibres. The mixture is subjected to a pressing process and sintered under specific conditions for obtaining solid preformed ceramics useful in a dental restorative system, which are made in cylindrical shapes of different sizes. Said material will modulate the hardness upon modifying the ratio of the components in order to obtain better mechanical properties which are suitable to be used in dental prosthesis.
