Evaluation of Color Tone and Exfoliation Resistance of Porcelain-Firing Ti with White Oxide Coating as an Opaque Layer

Abstract:

One of the applications of titanium in the dental field is a porcelain-fired-metal crown. It is made by firing porcelain multiple times with different composition of ceramics on a metallic abutment tooth. Regarding firing process to metallic abutment, a primer is generally required to be applied in advance of a porcelain firing and the opaque porcelain is applied to cover the metallic color of the abutment. By the way, our recent research shows that white oxide films formed on the Ti substrate have a color tone similar to opaque porcelain. Therefore, porcelain-fired-Ti samples replacing primer and opaque porcelain firing with the TiO2 oxide layer were fabricated and evaluated in this study. Color tone and peel strength were evaluated, and cross-sectional observation was observed by SEM and EPMA.
