CUBIC STABILIZED ZIRCONIA COMPOSITIONS PRODUCED BY A MELTING PROCESS FOR USE IN DENTAL APPLICATIONS AND DENTAL ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME CUBIC STABILIZED ZIRCONIA COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to cubic stabilized zirconia compositions produced by a melting process for use in dental applications. The dental application may be a chair- side medical treatment. The invention also relates to novel dental articles comprising said cubic stabilized zirconia compositions. Preferred dental articles are crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, facings, crown frameworks, bridged frameworks, implants, abutments, copings or orthodontic appliances. Further, the invention relates to a process for the production of a dental article comprising cubic stabilized zirconia compositions produced by a melting process.
