In situ synthesis of leucite‐based feldspathic dental porcelain with minor kalsilite and Fe₂O₃ impurities

Abstract

K-Feldspar was used as a raw material for in situ synthesis of leucite particles by solid-state reaction method. Prior to synthesis of leucite, K-Feldspar was treated by oxalic acid (C 2 H 2 O 4 ) to eliminate Fe content. The parameters affecting the structure and amount of Fe in K-Feldspar was investigated to reach an optimal leaching condition. Next, kasilite removal was studied by introducing CaF 2 to the composition of dental porcelain. To synthesis leucite, the prepared materials were heated up to 1450°C for 3 hours until fusion phenomena occurred, then cooled down to 865°C to permit the leucite crystals nucleate and grow. To find out the chemical composition of powder, XRF, EDX, and Atomic absorption spectroscopy were used. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy were employed to study the structure of mineral. Spectrophotometry was chosen to analyze whiteness index of powder after acid treatment. Differential Thermal Analysis was employed to determine the crystallization temperature. Results indicated a dramatic decrease in Fe content (0.018%wt) by employing C 2 H 2 O 4 as a leachant at 50°C. In addition, whiteness index of 91% was achieved through this procedure for raw feldspar. Finally, 1% wt of CaF 2 prevented formation of kalsilite.

Advances of plant and biomass extracted zirconium nanoparticles in dental implant application

“…To satisfy patients' expectations for aesthetic restorations that seem natural, several different types of metal-free ceramics have been produced [ 97 ]. Zirconia has been utilized effectively as a dental biomaterial due to its biocompatibility and high mechanical qualities [ 98 ].…”

Selected Spectroscopic Techniques for Surface Analysis of Dental Materials: A Narrative Review

“…The XRF is used to test the composition of materials, the coating thickness, and to identify elements in dental materials: implant alloy [ 142 ] and ceramics [ 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 , 152 ]. XRD is used to obtain information of crystalline structure of solids such as dental ceramics [ 143 , 144 , 145 , 146 , 147 , 148 , 149 , 150 ].…”

Effect of PMMA sealing treatment on the corrosion behavior of plasma electrolytic oxidized titanium dental implants in fluoride-containing saliva solution

“…The replacement of a lost tooth has been exasperated by biomaterials. A variety of metallic, ceramic and polymeric biomaterials have been used in the dental transplant [1][2][3]. Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are suitable materials for manufacturing orthopedic and dental implants, due to their high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, which are the reasons for their popularity [4,5].…”
