Alumina is a well-known dental ceramic material that has made waves within the dental industry for its good aesthetics and strength when compared to older materials for fixed prostheses, such as crown and bridgework. To be able to confidently use this material, a clinician should understand the physical and optical properties so as to know why and how this material might work in various clinical settings. This part of the ceramic series aims to explore the various alumina-based ceramic systems available on the market and discuss their properties, applications and indications. We also intend to briefly describe the preparation design requirements and cementation protocol for this type of ceramic.
氧化铝是一种众所周知的牙科陶瓷材料，相较于用于固定义齿的旧材料（如牙冠和桥体），它具有良好的美观性和强度，在牙科行业引起了轰动。为了能够自信地使用这种材料，临床医生应该了解其物理和光学特性，以便了解为什么以及如何在各种临床环境中使用这种材料。本陶瓷系列的这一部分旨在探讨市场上可用的各种基于氧化铝的陶瓷系统，并讨论它们的特性、应用和适应证。我们还打算简要描述这种陶瓷的预备设计要求和粘结协议。
