Title:
MACHINABLE LEUCITE-CONTAINING PORCELAIN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999018911
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for producing a machinable feldspathic porcelain comprising leucite is presented. Machinability is imparted to feldspathic porcelains by achieving homogeneous distribution of fine crystalline constituent comprised of at least one of the following leucite phases: potassium tetragonal leucite, rubidium leucite, cesium stabilized cubic leucite, rubidium stabilized cubic leucite, and pollucite. The porcelains produced in accordance with the present invention are readily machinable by using available diamond tooling techniques. Furthermore, the porcelains are especially useful for the fabrication of dental restorations using CAD/CAM technology.
