Abstract: A dental liner and a manufacturing method therefor are disclosed. The dental liner is a dental liner for coupling feldspar porcelain and zirconia and includes: silicon dioxide; aluminum oxide; 1,4-butanediol for maintaining the moisture of the dental liner and preventing the generation of layers; and a zirconia powder for coupling the dental liner and zirconia by strengthening chemical bonding of the dental liner and zirconia.

Abstract: Powdered composition comprising: (a) 100 parts by weight of at least one polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) in the form of particles having an average diameter (d50) from 1 ?m to 100 ?m, preferably from 5 ?m to 60 ?m; (b) from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight, of at least one silicate or silica. The powdered composition, having a relatively low abrasivity index and high flowability, can be used in air-polishing without causing excessive abrasion of the enamel and of the root cementum and without causing sticking in the device. Furthermore, the presence of PHA, being a polymer characterized by high biodegradability, makes the powdered composition particularly suitable for use in the oral cavity.
