STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Zirconia-based restorations have the common technical complication of delamination, or porcelain chipping, from the zirconia core. Thus the shear bond strength between the zirconia core and the veneering porcelain requires investigation in order to facilitate the material's clinical use. PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding strength of the porcelain veneer to the zirconia core and to other various metal alloys (high noble metal alloy and base metal alloy). MATERIAL AND METHODS. 15 rectangular ($4\times4\times9mm$) specimens each of zirconia (Cercon), base metal alloy (Tillite), high noble metal alloy (Degudent H) were fabricated for the shear bond strength test. The veneering porcelain recommended by the manufacturer for each type of material was fired to the core in thickness of 3mm. After firing, the specimens were embedded in the PTFE mold, placed on a mounting jig, and subjected to shear force in a universal testing machine. Load was applied at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min until fracture. The average shear strength (MPa) was analyzed with the oneway ANOVA and the Tukey's test ($\alpha$= .05). The fractured specimens were examined using SEM and EDX to determine the failure pattern. RESULTS. The mean shear strength ($\pm\;SD$) in MPa was 25.43 ($\pm\;3.12$) in the zirconia group, 35.87 ($\pm\;4.23$) in the base metal group, 38.00 ($\pm\;5.23$) in the high noble metal group. The ANOVA showed a significant difference among groups, and the Tukey' s test presented a significant difference between the zirconia group and the metal group. Microscopic examination showed that the failure primarily occurred near the interface with the residual veneering porcelain remaining on the core. CONCLUSION. There was a significant difference between the metal ceramic and zirconia ceramic group in shear bond strength. There was no significant difference between the base metal alloy and the high noble metal alloy.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal ions of alloys and use the results as the dental health data. These were performed by examining the corrosion levels of Co-Cr alloys for the full and removable partial denture metal frameworks and porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, among the dental casting nonprecious alloys. Methods: The alloy specimens (N = 10) were manufactured in $15mm{\times}10mm{\times}1.2mm$ and stored in two types of corrosive solutions at $37^{\circ}C$ for seven days. The metal ions were quantitatively analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Results: Of the three Co-Cr alloys, the Co ion concentration of the porcelain-fused-to-metal alloy was 1.512 ${\mu}g/cm^2$, which indicated the highest metal ion dissolution. The metal corrosion was higher in the more acidic pH 2.2 solution compared with the pH 4.4 solution. In all three Co-Cr alloys, Co ion dissolution was predominant in the two corrosive solutions. Conclusion: The corrosion resistance of the three Co-Cr alloys was high, indicating a good biocompatibility.

A variety of the porcelain fused to gold(PFG) have been developed to which porcelain can be fused. PFG alloys developed for this purposed have a high melting point and do not discolor when combined with porcelain. The design of the compositions of PFG is very important to esthetic restorative materials applying to porcelain. The purpose of this study is on the change of physical and mechanical characteristics in PFG 18K alloy by the small additional elements. Principal results are as follows. The high Au alloy containing 18Karat gold contents is respectively Au(75%), Pd(10%), Pt(4%), Ag(4%), In(2%), Sn(2%), Cu(2%), Ti(1%). These alloys are composed mainly of gold, platinum, silver and palladium with a few percent of the additional elements. By the addition of small amounts of elements such as In, Sn, Ti, the fine grain castings are produced in gold alloy and the small addition of platinum is very effective in increasing of hardness and strength. These gold alloys are representative of the changes to be expected as a result of heat treatment. These changes in strength and hardness values are sufficient to demonstrate a significant difference in performance between a as-casted and a heat-treated. These alloys have mechanical properties characteristics of Type and Type gold alloys. These alloys are useful to porcelain-metal restorations and dental laboratory. Also the porcelain fused to metal(PFM) alloys containing gold are commonly use for dental purposes in dental laboratory.

Dental porcelains are widely used for restorative material because of its excellent esthetic property. But according to contact with natural teeth or metal in oral cavity, the porcelain may be worn and may effect on masticatory physiology and prosthetic function. The purpose of this experiment was to study on wear of porcelain surface which treated in different method. Using the abrasion device which was designed and constructed by myself, the different porcelain surface were abraded by gold alloy, nickel-chrome alloy and natural teeth in order to compare roughness. Results were as follows. 1. The group of porcelain abraded by gold alloy showed less surface roughness change (t=2.92, p<0.05), and the group of porcelain abraded by natural teeth had high surface roughness. change (t=6.84, p<0.05). 2.
