  • Patent number: 5714244
    Abstract: A material is impregnated with an aqueous solution containing precursors of a glass-containing phosphate base modified at least by the presence of zinc oxide, then dried and heat treated to form an internal oxidation protection constituted by the modified phosphate glass-containing base. The precursors are introduced into the aqueous solution so as to form a glass-containing base in which the molar ratio between the glass modifying oxides, comprising zinc oxide, and the glass forming oxides, principally comprising or consisting of phosphoric anhydride, is sufficiently high, in particular at least 0.6, preferably 0.9, to confer a resistance to corrosion by moisture on the glass-containing phosphate base.

  • Patent number: 4626514
    Abstract: Dental materials using calcium phosphate glass-ceramics and having the color tone with high approximation to that of natural teeth. In those dental materials, calcium phosphate composite, nickel oxide and one or more other type of compounds selected from oxides of iron, manganese, cerium, titanium and tungsten, are contained as coloring component. Also, if necessary, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and/or SiO.sub.2 is contained as a color assisting agent in that composite. The calcium phosphate glass-ceramic according to this invention consists of the same components as that of natural teeth. Besides, it is possible to adjust the color tone delicately to match with the color tone of each individual`s teeth. Moreover, the coloring components are incorporated in crystals of calcium phosphate. Consequently, they cause no elution during use and are therefore ideal as dental material.
