POWDERED MATERIAL AND CERAMIC MATERIAL MANUFACTURED THEREFROM

摘要

Powdered material, the binder phase of which mainly consists of a cement-based system, which powdered material has the capacity following saturation with a liquid reacting with the binder phase to hydrate to a chemically bonded ceramic material, preferably for dental purposes. According to the invention the powdered material has a composition and/or structure suitable for giving the ceramic material translucence in the hydrated state. The invention also relates to the ceramic material produced by hydration of the powdered material.
