  • Patent number: 11964916
    Abstract: A layered body, which has a change in texture derived from zirconia, particularly a change in translucency and is suitable as a dental prosthetic member, a precursor thereof, or a method for producing these. The layered body has a structure in which two or more layers containing zirconia containing a stabilizer are layered, the layered body including at least: a first layer containing zirconia having a stabilizer content of higher than or equal to 4 mol %; and a second layer containing zirconia having a stabilizer content different from that of the zirconia contained in the first layer. At least one layer contains one or more elements capable of coloring zirconia.

  • Publication number: 20240101483
    Abstract: To provide at least one of: a powder composition from which a calcined body with similar processability can be produced without requiring the application of different forming conditions and calcination conditions for each composition; a method for producing the powder composition; a calcined body produced from the powder composition; a method for producing the calcined body; and uses thereof. A powder composition including: two or more types of zirconia in which a lanthanoid rare-earth element is dissolved; a transition metal element other than zirconium and hafnium; and a remainder composed of zirconia stabilized only by one or more selected from the group consisting of yttrium, calcium and magnesium, wherein a different lanthanoid rare-earth element is dissolved in each zirconia in which the lanthanoid rare-earth element is dissolved, and a transition metal element content is 1500 ppm or less.

  • Patent number: 11548825
    Abstract: Provided is at least any of a layered body, which has a change in texture derived from zirconia, particularly a change in translucency and is suitable as a dental prosthetic member, a precursor thereof, or a method for producing these. There is provided a layered body having a structure in which two or more layers containing zirconia containing a stabilizer are layered, the layered body including at least: a first layer containing zirconia having a stabilizer content of higher than or equal to 4 mol %; and a second layer containing zirconia having a stabilizer content different from that of the zirconia contained in the first layer.

  • Patent number: 11542201
    Abstract: There is provided at least any of a layered body which has a change in color tone and in which it is unnecessary to select a colorant and the content of the colorant in consideration of a difference in the sintering behavior between layers, a precursor thereof, or a method for producing these. Provided is a layered body which has a structure, in which two or more layers containing stabilizer-containing zirconia and a colorant are layered, and in which types and contents of the colorants contained in the layers are equal to each other, the layered body including at least: a first layer containing a colorant and zirconia which has a stabilizer content of higher than or equal to 3.3 mol %; and a second layer containing a colorant and zirconia which has a stabilizer content different from that of the zirconia contained in the first layer.
