ArtGlass (Heraeus Kulzer)

DESCRIPTION: ArtGlass is a completely　new type of material. ArtGlass　is the only material using multifunctional　methacrylates for three-dimensional　highly cross-linked structures.　A high output strobe type light source　is needed to get the material to form　these cross-links. About 55% of　ArtGlass is Microglass filler, responsible　for its color matching and outstanding　shade adaptation. The total　filler content is only around 75%, but　when the matrix is cured, the amorphous,　highly cross linked organic　glass forms, together with the inorganic　glass and silica fillers, a homogenous,　glass like material, which we　call Polymer glass is created. ArtGlass　parameters exceed those of conventional　composites and with its tough　elastic properties, it outperforms porcelain　as well. ArtGlass has hardness　similar to enamel, flexible strength　over 50% higher than porcelain and　can be easily adjusted and repaired　intra-orally.

概述：ArtGlass是一种全新的材料。ArtGlass是唯一采用多功能甲基丙烯酸酯以获得高度三维交叉链接结构的材料。必须采用频闪高能光源才能形成材料的这种交叉网状的内部结构。ArtGlass含有55％的微玻璃填料，因此颜色匹配性能佳。尽管总填料含量仅75％左右，但是当基质固化后，玻璃聚合体形成，具体表现为无定形的、高度交叉链接的有机玻璃与无机玻璃和硅填料颗粒形成均质的类玻璃材料。ArtGlass各项参数均优于传统的树脂，并且由于其坚韧与弹性特性，甚至由于全瓷。ArtGlass优点很多，比如其硬度与釉质类似，挠曲强度比瓷要高50％，调整容易，可以口内修补。

INDICATION: Metal-free crowns,　veneers, inlays, onlays or metal supported　crowns, bridges, and implant　supra-structures.

适应症：非金属冠，贴面，嵌体，高嵌体或金属烤塑冠、桥、种植上部结构。

PREPARATION: Preparations are　similar to porcelain preparations with　bevel or marginal steps and at least　1.5 mm of interocclusal reduction.

牙体预备：斜面与边缘预备步骤等与全瓷预备类似，咬合面至少备1.5mm

CEMENTATION: Contemporary　bonding and resin luting techniques　are recommenced. Recommended cementation　material is 2-bond and 2-　luting cement. This material increases　the bond strength because of its flexibility　and is actually made of the same　material as ArtGlass.

粘接：推荐现代树脂粘接系统。推荐粘接材料是2－BOND与2-LUTING。这种材料由于化学结构与artglass相同，会增加粘接强度。

SHADE SELECTION: Shades are　matched to both the Vita Lumin and　Chromascop shade guides.

比色：采用VITA16色比色板或Chromascop比色板。
