Abstract

The performance of dental restorations has been a concern of dentists and engineers. One of the topics that have concentrated most effort has been the study of the properties of the interface between the veneering porcelain to metallic or ceramic substrates, namely on the improvement of the adhesion between the two materials and its behaviour under oral conditions. This paper discusses the benefits of placing a composite interlayer (50% metal + 50% ceramic, vol.%) at interface between metal and ceramic in a dental restoration. The discussion covers the following aspects: performance of this system under thermomechanical fatigue conditions, thermal and mechanical properties of the composite interlayer, thermal residual stresses arising after porcelain sintering and technical feasibility on a prosthetic laboratory.
