An Experimental study on The Porcelain Shade Stability after Repeated Firing

도재의 반복성이 Shade에 미치는 영향

This study was performed to examine the effect of repeated firing on porcelain color stability. Sixty sepcimens of generally uniform size and shape(9.7 12mm)were prepared using the manufactorer's specifications and among them 50 specimens that showed no defect after firing procedure were selected. All samples, abraded with sandpaper disc, ultrasonically cleaned, and air fired to amedium glaze were devided into 10 groups according to the number of repeated firing and, upon completion, mounted on a 13 by 16cm board. 30 persons(five dentists, ten dental techanicians, and fiftheen students) were asked to compare the samples for variations, in hue, chroma and value under natural and artificial light. The results were as follows:(1) There were no color change detected in the first four firings.(2) Slight color change were noticed in subsequent firings(ie: greater decreases in value with slight increases In chroam)(3) However, the hue remained constant in all 10 groups after repeated firings.
