About opaque porcelain
Opaque porcelain is usually applied as the first ceramic layer on a metal framework. It plays an important role in the shade and the aesthetic outcome of a porcelain-fused-to-metal restoration. Opaque is offered for several application techniques, including paste, spray and powder-liquid.
The FDA describes porcelain powder as a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz or other substances that is heated to a high temperature to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish, and lists it as a Class II device (21 CFR 872.6660). Body porcelain is the porcelain blend used for the bulk of a ceramic restoration.
ISO 6872 sets the requirements and test methods for dental ceramic materials for fixed all-ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations.
What to look at when choosing
Opaque thickness: in one study grey alloys under a 0.10 mm opaque layer gave the closest colour match. The samples with the thickest opaque layer, 0.25 mm, gave the poorest colour match.
The number of porcelain firings and the condensation technique can affect the final shade of the porcelain.
Shade and form: opaque is listed by shade and by form, such as paste in a syringe.
