ISO/TC 106/SC 2/WG 1 - Dental ceramics

This document specifies requirements for tooth-like colour representations made of ceramic materials used to determine the tooth colour in the patient's mouth or to check the colour of dental prosthesis, which are referred to as colour tabs in this document. The colour coordinates of colour tabs are left to the manufacturers' discretion. Resources for visualizing the colours of ceramic and other masses, e.g. mass shade guides and colour patterns for certain ceramic and other masses, do not fall into the scope of this document. They can be manufactured from any materials and serve solely to illustrate the colour effect; they do not serve to determine colour inside the mouth.

This document specifies requirements and test methods to assess the thermomechanical compatibility between a veneering ceramic and a metallic or ceramic substructure material used for dental restorations. This document applies only to the materials used in combination. Conformity cannot be claimed for a single material. For requirements for ceramic materials, see ISO 6872. For requirements for metallic materials see ISO 22674.

ISO 13078-2:2016 determines a degree of firing to be implemented by the user. It represents a test method for adapting the firing program of a dental furnace by determining the degree of firing of fired test specimens for a dental ceramic. The test method is suitable for powdered dental ceramics according to ISO 6872, Type I. The test method enables monitoring of the temperature control in the dental furnace by evaluating the firing degree of a dental ceramic. The test method is also suitable for evaluating the reproducibility of the firings in a dental furnace or for comparing several dental furnaces.

ISO 6872:2015 specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for dental ceramic materials for fixed all-ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations and prostheses.

ISO 9693-2:2016 specifies requirements and test methods to assess the compatibility of ceramic-ceramic materials used for dental restorations by testing composite structures. The requirements of this part of ISO 9693 apply when different ceramic components are used in combination. Compliance cannot be claimed for either ceramic alone. For requirements of ceramic materials, see ISO 6872.

ISO 9693-1:2012 specifies test methods for determining the compatibility of metallic and ceramic materials used for dental restorations by testing the composite structure. The requirements given in ISO 9693-1:2012 are applicable to metallic materials and ceramics when used in combination, and are not applicable to either metallic materials or ceramics when used alone.

ISO 6872:2008 specifies the requirements and the corresponding test methods for dental ceramic materials for fixed all-ceramic and metal-ceramic restorations and prostheses.

Specifies the requirements and test methods for dental ceramics for all fixed ceramic inlays. Cancels and replaces the first edition, which has been technically revised.
