Scope note: Tipo de porcelana que se utiliza en restauraciones dentales, bien en coronas completas, incrustaciones dentales, dientes artificiales o coronas de metal y cerámica. Básicamente consiste en una mezcla de partículas de feldespato y cuarzo; el feldespato se funde primero y aporta una matriz cristalina para el cuarzo. La porcelana dental se produce al mezclar polvo de cerámica (una mezcla de cuarzo, caolín, pigmentos, opacificadores, un fundente adecuado y otras sustancias) con agua destilada.

Scope note: A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water. (From Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992)
