PFM Crown Steps Mexico – Manufacturing And TimeFrames
1- The material presents as powder to be mixed with liquid forming a slurry that is used to build the restoration up
2- The ceramic ingot is fused and cast in a refractory (investment) mold made by the lost wax technique
3- Base Metal Alloys – most popular for PFM’s. Contain NO noble metals – “Non-Precious
4- Metal is relatively stable when is solid, the metal mold it must be heated beyond its melting range. When cooled, metal forms a crystalline solid.
Bonding of porcelain to the metal Copings. Certain metal system (electro-forming) requires the application of specific bonding paste before building-up the porcelain.

These restorations are composed of; Metal substructure (Coping) supporting a ceramic veneer those are chemically and mechanically-bonded together.
PARTS OF PFM
( PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL)
These restorations are composed of; Metal substructure (Coping) supporting a ceramic veneer those are chemically and mechanically-bonded together
Core: cast metallic framework. Also known as coping.
Opaque porcelain : first layer consisting of porcelain modified with opacifying oxides
Mask the darkness of the oxidized metal framework
Metal-ceramic bond
Final buildup of dentine and enamel porcelain.
Bonding of porcelain to the metal copings
– Infiltration (flow) of the fused ceramic into the surface irregularities of the metal coping.
– Sandblasting of the metal surface or using plastic beads during waxing are important for this issue.
– Ionic bond between the metal oxide layer and the opaque porcelain.
– Metal degassing is important for oxide formation, removing the surface contaminants and greases.
– Thin oxide layer (in case of noble alloys) provides stronger bond than the thick one (in case of base metal alloys).
Coeff. of thermal expansion mismatch:
As a result of higher metal contraction on cooling,
– The fused porcelain will be sucked (attracted) more strongly into the metal surface irregularities.
– Residual compressive stresses will developed in and strengthen the porcelain.
Application of a special bonding agent:
Certain metal system (electro-forming) requires the application of specific bonding paste before building-up the porcelain.
