Description

기성형 세라믹 치아수복물의 제조방법 및 이에 의해 제조된 치과용-수의과용 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물Method for manufacturing ready-made ceramic dental restorations and dental-veterinary ready-made ceramic dental restorations produced thereby
본 발명은 치과 또는 기공소에서 세라믹 크라운(all ceramic crown) 또는 도재 라미네이트(porcelain laminate) 방식으로 제작하는 맞춤형 세라믹 치아수복물(custom-made ceramic restoration)을 알루미나 또는 지르코니아 소재의 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물로 대체하여 트라이-인(try-in) 및 즉시보철(immediate provisionalization)을 가능하게 하는 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물의 제조방법 및 이 방법으로 제조되는 치과용-수의과용 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물에 관한 것이다.The present invention is to replace a custom-made ceramic restoration made of an all ceramic crown or porcelain laminate method in a dentistry or laboratory with a ready-made ceramic dental restoration of alumina or zirconia A method of manufacturing a ready-made ceramic dental restoration that enables try-in and immediate provisionalization and a dental-veterinary ready-made ceramic dental restoration produced by the method.
일반적으로 충치와 같은 치아의 손상으로 인해 치아가 본래의 기능을 수행하지 못하는 경우, 치아의 손상부위를 제거하고 치아수복물로 치아의 손상부위를 둘러싸는 방식의 보철치료를 통하여 치아의 형태와 기능을 회복하게 된다.In general, when a tooth is unable to perform its original function due to tooth damage such as tooth decay, the shape and function of the tooth is removed through the prosthetic treatment method of removing the damaged part of the tooth and surrounding the damaged part with the tooth restoration. You will recover.
치아수복물로는 크라운(crown), 인레이(inlay), 온레이(onlay), 스텀프(stump), 비니어(veneer) 등이 있으며, 치아수복물 소재로서 지금까지 금(Au) 합금과 같은 귀금속 합금이 많이 사용되어 왔다.Dental restorations include crowns, inlays, onlays, stumps, veneers, and many other precious metal alloys such as gold alloys. Has been used.
그러나 금 합금과 같은 귀금속 합금은 값이 비싸고 원래의 치아와 색상이 다르기 때문에 비용과 심미적인 이유에서 그 사용이 점차 감소하고 있으며, 귀금속 합금 대신에 비용이 저렴한 금속 합금을 사용하려는 시도가 있으나 금속 합금은 인체유해성 논란이 있다.However, because precious metal alloys such as gold alloys are expensive and differ from original teeth, their use is gradually decreasing for both cost and aesthetic reasons, and there are attempts to use inexpensive metal alloys instead of precious metal alloys. Is detrimental to human health.
이에 따라 근래에는 가능한 한 자연 치아에 상응하는 심미성의 외관을 제작할 수 있는 세라믹으로 치아수복물을 제조하려는 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 치아수복물로서 올 세라믹 크라운 또는 도재 라미네이트를 이용한 크라운, 비니어 등의 세라믹 치아수복물 시술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다.Accordingly, in recent years, research has been conducted to manufacture dental restorations with ceramics that can produce aesthetic appearance corresponding to natural teeth as much as possible, and ceramic teeth such as crowns and veneers using all ceramic crowns or ceramic laminates as such dental restorations. There is a growing interest in restoration procedures.
치의료용 크라운/비니어 시술은 치아 보철시 우식된 부위를 삭제하고 치아를 크라운으로 덮어주거나, 매우 얇은 비니어를 치면(tooth surface)에 직접 적용시키는 술식(operation)으로서, 변색치, 치간이개(diastema), 왜소치, 파절된 치아 등의 손상된 치아에 대하여 전치부(anterior region)의 심미개선 또는 구치부(posterior region)의 수복을 목적으로 전부피개관 대신에 보존적으로 널리 사용되고 있으며, 최소한의 치질 삭제로 자연스러운 치아 형태의 재현이 가능하고 치은 자극이 적으며 치아의 태(態) 조절이 용이한 장점이 있다.Dental crowns / veneers are operations that remove caries and cover the teeth with crowns or apply very thin veneers directly to the tooth surface. It is widely used conservatively in place of whole skin for aesthetic improvement of anterior region or repair of posterior region for damaged teeth such as dwarf, fractured tooth, etc. It is possible to reproduce the natural tooth shape, less gingival irritation, and easy to control the appearance of teeth.
이러한 치의료용 크라운/비니어는 일반적으로 맞춤형 크라운 및 전통방식의 도재 라미네이트 방식으로 제작되어 사용되고 있으나, 강도와 심미성을 동시에 만족시키지 못하고 강도 저하로 인하여 변색과 파절이 발생하며, 맞춤형으로 제작되어 시술이 잘못됐을 경우 수정이 어렵고 재작업해야 하는 단점을 갖고 있다.These dental crowns / veneers are generally manufactured and used with custom crowns and traditional ceramic laminates, but they do not satisfy strength and aesthetics at the same time, resulting in discoloration and fracture due to reduced strength, and are custom-made to have incorrect procedures. This has the disadvantage of being difficult to modify and reworking.
또한, 일반적인 맞춤형 크라운 및 도재 라미네이트 방식은 기공소 또는 치과에서 포세린 빌드업(porcelain build-up) 또는 캐드캠(CAD/CAM) 가공을 통하여 제조되는데, 빌드업 제조시 미세 기공으로 인한 결함이 발생할 경우 재작업이 필요하므로 가공비용 및 시술시간이 과다하게 발생하는 단점이 있으며, 캐드캠 가공은 0.2~0.5 ㎜의 얇은 치아수복물 가공이 어려워 가공 후 추가 수작업을 해야 하는 단점이 있다.In addition, typical custom crown and porcelain laminates are manufactured through porcelain build-up or CAD / CAM processing in laboratories or dental clinics, and rework if defects due to micropores occur during build-up manufacturing. There is a disadvantage in that the processing cost and the procedure time is excessively generated because of the need, CAD cam processing is difficult to process the thin tooth restoration of 0.2 ~ 0.5 ㎜ has the disadvantage that additional manual work after processing.
따라서 치료기간을 단축하고 치료비용에 대한 환자의 부담을 덜어줄 수 있는 세라믹 치아수복물의 시술을 위하여는 일반적인 맞춤형 크라운 또는 도재 라미네이트 방식보다 강도가 높고 투광성이 좋은 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물의 개발이 필요하나, 이러한 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물 및 기성형 트라이-인 치아수복물의 제품개발은 아직까지 미진한 수준에 머물고 있다.Therefore, it is necessary to develop ready-made ceramic dental restorations that are stronger and more translucent than conventional custom crowns or ceramic laminates to shorten the treatment period and reduce the burden on the patient. The development of these ready-made ceramic dental restorations and ready-made tri-in dental restorations is still at a marginal level.
종래의 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물의 경우, 보철작업시 바로 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물을 시적하게 되어 개별환자의 치아 크기 선택 및 시멘팅 위치 확보에 따른 트라이-인 과정에서 타액(saliva) 및 혈(blood)에 의한 오염으로 접착유지력이 저하되어 재사용할 수 없으며, 지르코니아의 경우 오염 제거를 위한 고압증기멸균시 저온열화에 따른 강도저하 현상이 발생하므로, 이를 방지하기 위한 기성형 트라인-인 치아수복물이 필요하다.In the case of the conventional ready-made ceramic dental restorations, the ready-made ceramic dental restorations are immediately tried during prosthetic work, and saliva and blood in the tri-in process according to the tooth size selection and cementing position of individual patients. Due to the contamination caused by the adhesion, the adhesive holding force is lowered and cannot be reused.In the case of zirconia, the strength decrease due to the low temperature deterioration occurs during autoclave sterilization to remove the contamination.

또한, 일반적인 세라믹은 분말 가압 성형공정을 통하여 제조되는데, 성형시 압력 불균형이 발생하고 이에 따라 결함이 발생하며 추가적인 정밀가공 단계가 필요하므로 가공 비용이 과다하게 발생하는 단점이 있다.In addition, general ceramics are manufactured through a powder press molding process, and there is a disadvantage that excessive processing costs occur because pressure imbalance occurs during molding and defects occur and additional precision processing steps are required.
이러한 세라믹 치아수복물 제조의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 본 출원인은 한국등록특허공보 제10-1071554호를 통하여 지르코니아 또는 알루미나를 원재료로 하여 소아보철용 유치관으로 널리 활용될 수 있는 세라믹 유치관의 제조방법을 제안한 바 있다.In order to solve the problem of the manufacture of ceramic dental restorations, the applicant of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a ceramic primary tube that can be widely used as a pediatric prosthetic primary tube using zirconia or alumina through Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1071554 Has been proposed.

그런데 상기의 방법을 이용하여 제조되는 치아수복물은 그 내부의 미세 기공을 완전히 제어하지 못하여 유치관과 같은 단기간 치료를 목적으로 하는 임시 치아수복물의 소재로서는 사용에 문제가 없으나, 장기간 사용해야 하는 3차원적 입체구조의 크라운 또는 얇은 판형의 비니어와 같은 치아수복물을 제조할 경우 미세 기공에 의해 단부의 파절과 표면 마모가 발생하기 쉬워서 시술된 치아수복물의 내구성이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다.By the way, the dental restoration manufactured using the above method does not have complete control of the micropores therein, and thus it is not a problem to be used as a temporary dental restoration material for the purpose of short-term treatment such as a primary tube, but it is a three-dimensional material that should be used for a long time. When manufacturing dental restorations such as three-dimensional crowns or thin plate veneers, fractures and surface abrasion of the ends are liable to occur due to micropores, and thus the durability of the treated dental restorations is lowered.

상기 적색 산화철 또는 황색 산화철은 알루미나 또는 지르코니아와 함께 혼합되어 소결이 이루어지면 자연치의 색상과 유사한 연한 노란색을 띠게 되고 산화티탄은 백색을 띠어 자연치의 색상과 매우 유사한 색상을 부여하며, 산화어븀은 분홍색을 띠어 자연치와 매우 다른 색상을 나타내어 트라이-인 치아수복물로 적용할 수 있다.When the red iron oxide or yellow iron oxide is mixed with alumina or zirconia and sintered, it becomes light yellow similar to the color of natural teeth. Titanium oxide has a white color to give a color very similar to that of natural teeth. It is very different from natural teeth and can be applied as a tri-in dental restoration.
상기 트라이-인 치아수복물은 시술시 본 작업인 기성형 치아수복물 작업 전에 실시하는 예비시험작업 용도로 이용되는데, 핑크, 블루, 블랙 등 다양한 색상을 구현할 수 있어서 자연치와 뚜렷이 구분되는 색상을 나타낼 수 있으므로, 각 환자별 치아에 대한 치아수복물의 크기, 형태, 색상, 치합 등의 적합성 여부를 즉시 판별할 수 있도록 해주고 정확한 시멘팅 위치를 미리 가늠할 수 있도록 함으로써, 시술시 즉시 수정작업 또는 재작업을 통해 치료기간을 단축하고 치료비용에 대한 환자의 부담을 덜어준다.The tri-in tooth restoration is used for the preliminary test work performed before the pre-molded dental restoration work, which can be implemented in various colors such as pink, blue, and black, so that the color can be clearly distinguished from natural teeth. In addition, it is possible to immediately determine the suitability of the size, shape, color, and dentition of the tooth restoration for each patient's teeth, and to determine the exact cementing position in advance. Shorten the duration and relieve the patient of the cost of treatment.
또한, 트라이-인 치아수복물의 시술과정에서 타액과 혈에 의한 오염이 트라이-인 치아수복물에 의해 일부 제거되므로 본 작업인 기성형 치아수복물 작업시 오염이 줄게 되어 기성형 치아수복물의 접착력이 향상되는 효과가 있다.In addition, since the contamination by saliva and blood is partially removed by the tri-in dental restoration during the treatment process of the tri-in dental restoration, the contamination is reduced during the work of the ready-made dental restoration, which improves the adhesion of the preformed dental restoration. It works.
상기 혼합공정 후, 원재료 입자들의 크기 균일성을 확보하고 미세화하기 위하여 분쇄공정을 추가할 수 있으며, 상기 분쇄는 습식 볼 밀링(ball milling) 공정을 이용할 수 있다.After the mixing process, a grinding process may be added to secure and refine the size uniformity of the raw material particles, and the grinding may use a wet ball milling process.
볼 밀링 공정을 구체적으로 설명하면, 원재료인 세라믹(알루미나 또는 지르코니아), 중합체 및 조색제를 볼 밀링기(ball milling machine)에 장입하고 물 또는 알코올과 같은 용매를 혼합한 다음, 볼 밀링기를 일정속도로 회전시켜 원재료 입자들을 기계적으로 분쇄하고 균일하게 혼합한다.Specifically, the ball milling process is performed by charging raw material ceramic (alumina or zirconia), polymer and colorant into a ball milling machine, mixing a solvent such as water or alcohol, and then rotating the ball mill at a constant speed. Raw material particles are mechanically ground and uniformly mixed.
볼 밀링에 사용되는 볼은 지르코니아나 알루미나와 같은 세라믹으로 이루어진 볼을 사용할 수 있으며, 볼은 모두 같은 크기의 것일 수도 있고 2 가지 이상의 크기를 갖는 볼을 함께 사용할 수도 있다.The balls used for ball milling may use balls made of ceramics such as zirconia or alumina, and the balls may be all the same size or may be used with balls having two or more sizes.
볼의 크기, 볼 밀링기의 분당 회전속도, 밀링시간 등을 조절하여 목표하는 입자의 크기로 분쇄하는데, 예를 들어, 볼의 크기 1~30 ㎜, 볼 밀링기의 회전속도 50~500 rpm, 밀링시간 1~48 시간의 범위로 설정할 수 있다.Grinding to the size of the target particles by adjusting the size of the ball, the rotational speed of the ball mill, the milling time, for example, the size of the ball 1 ~ 30 mm, the rotational speed of the ball mill 50 ~ 500 rpm, milling time It can be set in the range of 1 to 48 hours.
이와 같은 볼 밀링 작업에 의해 원재료는 미세한 크기의 입자로 분쇄되고 구형의 균일한 입자크기 분포를 갖게 된다.By this ball milling operation, the raw material is pulverized into fine-sized particles and has a spherical uniform particle size distribution.
다음은 상기 혼합된 원재료를 40~180 ℃의 온도로 1~12 시간 가열하며, 가열에 의해 원재료에 함유된 수분(습식 볼 밀링 공정에서 용매로 사용된 물 또는 알코올 성분)이 제거되고 중합체는 점도가 낮아져 연성을 갖게 되어 사출성형 공정을 용이하게 한다.Next, the mixed raw material is heated to a temperature of 40 to 180 ° C. for 1 to 12 hours, and the water contained in the raw material (water or alcohol component used as a solvent in the wet ball milling process) is removed by heating, and the polymer Is lowered to be softer to facilitate the injection molding process.
상기 가열이 완료되면 원재료를 사출성형기에 투입하여 사출성형하는데, 사출성형시 사출온도는 130~200 ℃가 바람직하며, 사출성형 공정은 일반적으로 잘 알려져 있는 공정이므로 이에 대한 자세한 설명은 생략한다.When the heating is completed, the raw material is injected into the injection molding machine, and the injection molding, the injection temperature is preferably 130 ~ 200 ℃, the injection molding process is a well known process, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
이와 같은 사출성형 공정에서 사출된 사출물은 취성이 강하여 작업시 매우 주의를 요하게 되며, 이에 따라 원활한 가공 및 제품의 품질을 향상시키기 위해서는 사출성형된 사출물에 대하여 취성을 낮추고 연성이 생기도록 하는 공정이 요구된다.The injection molded product in such an injection molding process is very brittle and requires great care during operation. Accordingly, in order to smoothly process and improve the quality of the product, a process for reducing the brittleness and ductility of the injection molded injection molded product is required. do.
이를 위하여 상기 사출물에 함유되어 있는 중합체의 추출공정을 실시할 필요가 있으며, 40~90 ℃의 추출액에서 1~24 시간, 바람직하게는 6~12 시간 교반하여 중합체에 포함된 에틸렌비닐아세테이트, 파라핀왁스, 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 및 스테아린산의 일부를 추출액 중으로 용출시켜 제거한다.To this end, it is necessary to carry out the extraction process of the polymer contained in the injection molding, ethylene vinyl acetate, paraffin wax contained in the polymer by stirring for 1 to 24 hours, preferably 6 to 12 hours in an extract of 40 ~ 90 ℃ Part of the low density polyethylene and stearic acid is eluted into the extract and removed.
상기 추출액으로는 중합체 성분을 용해시킬 수 있는 아세톤(acetone), N-메틸피롤리돈(N-methylpyrollidone) 또는 이들의 혼합물과 같은 용제를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.As the extract, it is preferable to use a solvent such as acetone, N-methylpyrollidone or a mixture thereof, which can dissolve the polymer component.
다음은 상기 중합체 추출공정에 의해 중합체 중 일부가 추출된 사출물로부터 중합체 성분을 완전히 제거하기 위하여 탈지공정을 수행하며, 탈지공정은 500~1200 ℃, 바람직하게는 600~1000 ℃에서 6~48 시간 동안 열처리하는 과정으로 이루어진다.Next, a degreasing process is performed to completely remove the polymer component from the injection product in which a part of the polymer is extracted by the polymer extraction process, and the degreasing process is performed at 500 to 1200 ° C., preferably at 600 to 1000 ° C. for 6 to 48 hours. It consists of a process of heat treatment.
탈지공정을 거치지 않게 되면 사출물에 잔류하는 중합체 성분이 후술하는 소결공정 과정에서 기포를 형성하여 소결체의 기계적 특성을 나쁘게 하는 요인으로 작용할 수 있으며, 소결체에 기공(void) 또는 미세 크랙(crack)을 발생시킬 수 있다.If it is not subjected to the degreasing process, the polymer component remaining in the injection molding may form bubbles in the sintering process described below, which may act as a factor of deteriorating the mechanical properties of the sintered body, and may generate voids or fine cracks in the sintered body. You can.
그런데 상기 중합체 추출공정 및 탈지공정에 의해 중합체가 제거된 사출물은 사출성형 직후의 사출물과 비교하여 취성이 낮아지는 반면에 연성이 커져서 보철 시술작업 중 제품을 변형시킬 우려가 있다.By the way, the injection product from which the polymer is removed by the polymer extraction and degreasing process has a low brittleness as compared with the injection molding immediately after injection molding, while the ductility increases, which may deform the product during the prosthetic operation.
이를 방지하기 위하여 상기 탈지공정의 중합체가 제거된 탈지체를 상압 소결하는데, 상압 소결공정은 탈지체의 기계적 물성을 향상시키기 위하여 수행하는 공정으로서, 중합체가 제거된 탈지체를 1200~1650 ℃에서 6~48 시간 동안 열처리하는 공정으로 이루어진다.In order to prevent this, the degreased body from which the polymer of the degreasing process is removed is subjected to atmospheric pressure sintering. The atmospheric pressure sintering process is performed to improve the mechanical properties of the degreased body. Heat treatment for ˜48 hours.
상기 탈지공정과 상압 소결공정은 이하에서 설명하는 바와 같이 하나의 퍼니스(furnace, 로(爐))에서 연속적으로 이루어져야 공정 효율성을 확보할 수 있다.The degreasing process and atmospheric pressure sintering process should be performed continuously in one furnace (furnace, as described below) to ensure the process efficiency.
도 2는 탈지공정과 소결공정이 하나의 퍼니스 내에서 인-시츄(in-situ)하게 이루어지는 공정을 설명하기 위하여 도시한 도면이다.FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a process in which a degreasing process and a sintering process are performed in-situ in one furnace.
도 2를 참조하여 설명하면, 중합체 중 일부가 추출된 사출물을 퍼니스에 장입한 다음, 퍼니스에 구비된 가열수단을 이용하여 퍼니스의 온도를 중합체가 타는 온도보다 높고 소결온도보다 낮은 온도인 500~1200 ℃의 온도로 상승시킨다(도 2의 t1 구간).Referring to Figure 2, after the injection of the injection part of the polymer extracted in the furnace, using the heating means provided in the furnace temperature of the furnace is higher than the temperature of the polymer burning, the temperature lower than the sintering temperature 500 ~ 1200 It is raised to the temperature of ℃ (t1 section of Figure 2).
이때, 승온속도는 1~50 ℃/분인 것이 바람직하며, 승온속도가 50 ℃/분을 초과하는 경우에는 급격한 온도변화에 의해 사출물에 열적 스트레스가 작용할 수 있고 1 ℃/분 미만인 경우에는 시간이 오래 걸려 생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다.At this time, the temperature increase rate is preferably 1 ~ 50 ℃ / min, when the temperature increase rate exceeds 50 ℃ / min thermal stress may act on the injection molding by a sudden temperature change, if the time is less than 1 ℃ / minute long There is a disadvantage in that productivity is low.
퍼니스의 온도가 500~1200 ℃의 온도에 도달하면 6~48 시간 동안 유지하여(도 2의 t2 구간) 중합체를 태워서 제거하는데, 사출물에 잔류하는 중합체 성분인 에틸렌비닐아세테이트, 파라핀왁스, 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 및 스테아린산은 500~1200 ℃의 온도에서 타거나 증발되어 완전히 제거되며, 상기와 같이 사출물에 존재하는 중합체 성분을 탈지공정을 통해 사출물로부터 쉽게 제거할 수 있다.When the temperature of the furnace reaches a temperature of 500 ~ 1200 ℃ is maintained for 6 to 48 hours (t2 section of Figure 2) to remove the polymer by burning, the polymer components remaining in the injection molding ethylene vinyl acetate, paraffin wax, low density polyethylene and Stearic acid is completely removed by burning or evaporating at a temperature of 500 ~ 1200 ℃, it is possible to easily remove the polymer component present in the injection molding from the injection molding as described above.
탈지공정이 완료된 후, 퍼니스의 온도를 목표하는 상압 소결온도인 1200~1650 ℃로 상승시키고(도 2의 t3 구간) 이때의 승온속도는 5~50 ℃/분인 것이 바람직하며, 승온속도가 50 ℃/분을 초과하는 경우에는 급격한 온도변화에 의해 탈지체에 열적 스트레스가 작용할 수 있고 5 ℃/분 미만인 경우에는 시간이 오래 걸려 생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다.After the degreasing process is completed, the temperature of the furnace is raised to a target atmospheric pressure sintering temperature of 1200 ~ 1650 ℃ (t3 section of Figure 2) and the temperature increase rate at this time is preferably 5 ~ 50 ℃ / min, the temperature increase rate is 50 ℃ In case of exceeding / min, thermal stress may act on the degreasing body due to a sudden temperature change, and in the case of less than 5 ° C / min, it takes a long time to have a disadvantage in decreasing productivity.
퍼니스의 상압 소결온도인 1200~1650 ℃에 도달하면 6~48 시간 동안 유지하여 소결하며(도 2의 t4 구간), 소결온도는 입자의 확산, 입자들 사이의 네킹(necking) 등을 고려하여 상기 온도가 바람직한데, 소결온도가 너무 높은 경우에는 과도한 입자의 성장으로 인해 기계적 물성이 저하될 수 있고 소결온도가 너무 낮은 경우에는 불완전한 소결로 인해 소결체의 특성이 나빠지는 문제가 있다.When reaching the atmospheric pressure sintering temperature of 1200 ~ 1650 ℃ of the furnace is maintained for 6 to 48 hours (t4 section of Figure 2), the sintering temperature is considered in consideration of the diffusion of particles, necking (necking) between the particles If the sintering temperature is too high, the mechanical properties may be degraded due to excessive growth of the particles, and if the sintering temperature is too low, the characteristics of the sintered body may be deteriorated due to incomplete sintering.
이와 같이, 소결온도에 따라 소결체의 미세구조, 입경 등에서 차이를 나타내며, 이는 소결온도가 낮은 경우 표면 확산이 지배적인 반면에 소결온도가 높은 경우에는 격자 확산 및 입계 확산까지 진행되기 때문이다.As described above, the microstructure, particle size, and the like of the sintered body are different depending on the sintering temperature. This is because surface diffusion is dominant when the sintering temperature is low, while lattice diffusion and grain boundary diffusion are performed when the sintering temperature is high.
또한, 소결시간이 48 시간을 초과하면 에너지의 소모가 많으므로 비경제적일 뿐만 아니라 더 이상의 소결효과를 기대하기 어렵고, 소결시간이 6 시간 미만이면 불완전한 소결로 인해 소결체의 특성이 좋지 않을 수 있다. In addition, when the sintering time is more than 48 hours, it is not only economically difficult to expect more sintering effects because energy consumption is high, and when the sintering time is less than 6 hours, the characteristics of the sintered body may be poor due to incomplete sintering.
상압 소결작업이 완료되면 퍼니스를 냉각시키며, 퍼니스의 냉각은 가열수단의 전원을 차단하여 자연냉각되도록 하거나 인위적으로 온도 하강률(예를 들어 10 ℃/분)을 설정하여 냉각시킬 수도 있다.When the atmospheric pressure sintering operation is completed, the furnace is cooled, and the cooling of the furnace may be naturally cooled by cutting off the power of the heating means, or may be cooled by artificially setting a temperature drop rate (for example, 10 ° C./minute).
그런데 상기 상압 소결물에는 원재료의 혼합 중에 혼입된 공기가 사출성형 과정에서 사출물의 내부에 미세 기공을 형성하고 이러한 미세 기공은 탈지 및 소결과정에서도 그대로 잔존하여, 본 발명에 따라 제조되는 치아수복물의 파절과 표면 마모를 유발하는 문제가 있다.By the way, in the atmospheric sintered product, air mixed during mixing of raw materials forms fine pores inside the injection molding during the injection molding process, and these fine pores remain intact even during degreasing and sintering, fracture of the dental restoration manufactured according to the present invention. And surface wear.
따라서 상기 상압 소결물에 잔류하는 미세 기공을 제거할 필요가 있으며, 이를 위하여 본 발명에서는 상기 상압 소결된 소결체를 가압상태에서 다시 소결하여 소결체의 기계적 물성 및 투광성을 향상시킨다.Therefore, it is necessary to remove the fine pores remaining in the atmospheric sintered product, and for this purpose, in the present invention, the atmospheric pressure sintered sintered body is sintered again in a pressurized state to improve the mechanical properties and light transmittance of the sintered body.
상기 가압 소결은 열간 정수압 소결법(hot isostatic pressing, HIP)을 응용하여 수행되며, 500~1500 bar의 압력하에서 1200~1650 ℃, 바람직하게는 1200~1500 ℃에서 6~24 시간 동안 열처리하는 공정으로 이루어진다.The pressure sintering is carried out by applying hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and heat treatment at 1200 ~ 1650 ℃, preferably 1200 ~ 1500 ℃ under a pressure of 500 ~ 1500 bar for 6 to 24 hours .
도 3에는 가압 소결 공정을 설명하기 위한 도면이 도시되어 있으며, 이를 참조하여 상세히 설명하면, 먼저 상압 소결된 소결체를 퍼니스에 장입한 다음 퍼니스에 구비된 가열수단과 압력장치를 이용하여 퍼니스의 온도를 목표하는 가압 소결 온도인 1200~1650 ℃로 상승시킨다(도 3의 t1 구간).Figure 3 is a view for explaining the pressure sintering process, it will be described in detail with reference to this, first charging the pressure-sintered sintered body into the furnace and then using the heating means and pressure apparatus provided in the furnace temperature of the furnace It raises to 1200-1650 degreeC which is target pressure sintering temperature (t1 section of FIG. 3).
이때의 압력은 500~1500 bar가 바람직하고 승온속도는 5~50 ℃/분인 것이 바람직하며, 승온속도가 50 ℃/분을 초과하는 경우에는 급격한 온도변화에 의해 소결체에 열적 스트레스가 작용할 수 있고, 5 ℃/분 미만인 경우에는 시간이 오래 걸려 생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다.At this time, the pressure is preferably 500 to 1500 bar, and the temperature increase rate is preferably 5 to 50 ° C./min. When the temperature increase rate exceeds 50 ° C./min, thermal stress may act on the sintered body by a sudden temperature change. In the case of less than 5 ℃ / min has a disadvantage that takes a long time productivity is lowered.
퍼니스의 가압 소결 온도인 1200~1650℃에 도달하면 6~24 시간 동안 유지하여 소결하며(도 3의 t2 구간), 상기 소결온도는 입자성장을 억제하면서 고밀도의 소결체를 제조할 수 있는 가장 적절한 온도범위이다.When the furnace reaches the pressure sintering temperature of 1200 ~ 1650 ℃ 6 to 24 hours to maintain the sintering (t2 section of Figure 3), the sintering temperature is the most suitable temperature to produce a high-density sintered body while suppressing grain growth Range.
가압 소결작업이 완료되면 퍼니스를 냉각시키며(도 3의 t3 구간), 퍼니스의 냉각은 가열수단의 전원을 차단하여 자연냉각되도록 하거나 인위적으로 온도 하강률(예를 들어 10 ℃/분)을 설정하여 냉각시킬 수도 있다.When pressure sintering is completed, the furnace is cooled (t3 section in FIG. 3), and the cooling of the furnace is to naturally cool by cutting off the power of the heating means or artificially set a temperature drop rate (for example, 10 ° C / min). It can also cool.
가압 소결은 고압하에서 수행되어 소결물의 온도 상승이 억제되므로 횡단면, 길이, 넓이 방향으로 균일한 품질을 얻을 수 있고 100 % 밀도로 평활한 표면의 가압 소결물이 얻어지므로, 기계적 물성이 향상되면서 자연스럽게 매끈하고 기복이 없는 판상의 비니어와 같은 치아수복물을 얻을 수 있다.Pressurized sintering is performed under high pressure to suppress the temperature rise of the sintered product, so that uniform quality can be obtained in the cross-sectional, length, and width directions, and a pressurized sintered product having a smooth surface at a density of 100% is obtained. It is possible to obtain a dental restoration, such as a veneer with a flat plate with no relief.
다음은 상기 가압 소결된 가압 소결체의 탈탄 및 투광성 재현을 위하여 가압 소결체를 500~1500 ℃에서 열처리하는데, 가열시 소결체의 표면에서 탈탄이 발생하여 심부의 경도는 유지되면서 표면의 인성은 높아지며, 이는 탄소함유량에 따른 세라믹의 성질 변화가 탄소의 함유량이 많을수록 세라믹의 경도가 높아지고 탄소의 함유량이 적을수록 세라믹의 인장강도가 증가하는 데서 기인한다.Next, the pressure sintered body is heat-treated at 500 to 1500 ° C. for the decarburization and light transmission reproduction of the pressure-sintered pressure sintered body. When heating, decarburization occurs at the surface of the sintered body, and the hardness of the core is maintained while the toughness of the surface is increased. The change in the properties of the ceramic depending on the content is caused by the higher hardness of the ceramic and the higher tensile strength of the ceramic.
탈탄 열처리 과정에서 외부공기의 침투에 의해 산소의 비율이 높아지면 소결체의 표면 탈탄이 원활하게 이루어지지 않으므로 열처리시 외부공기와 차단된 상태에서 탈탄 열처리를 수행하는 것이 바람직하다.When the ratio of oxygen is increased by the penetration of external air during the decarburization heat treatment, the surface decarburization of the sintered body is not performed smoothly, so it is preferable to perform the decarburization heat treatment in a state in which the external air is blocked.
탈탄 열처리가 완료되면, 소결체의 외면을 연마하여 광택성을 부여하고 미세 버를 제거하기 위하여 12~72 시간 동안 바렐가공을 수행하며, 바렐가공은 처리대상부품을 회전용기에 넣고 연마제와 함께 회전시켜서 연마 다듬질하는 가공법으로서, 일반적으로 버 제거, 각의 모서리 다듬기, 표면 다듬질 또는 광택 다듬질에 이용되고 이러한 바렐가공은 당 업계에서 공지된 기술이므로 이에 대한 설명은 생략한다.After the decarburization heat treatment is completed, the outer surface of the sintered body is polished to give glossiness and barrel processing is carried out for 12 to 72 hours to remove fine burrs. The barrel processing is to put the object to be treated in a rotating container and rotate with the abrasive. As a finishing method for polishing, it is generally used for burr removal, corner trimming, surface finishing, or gloss finishing, and this barrel processing is well known in the art, and thus description thereof is omitted.
상기와 같이 제조되는 본 발명의 기성형 세라믹 치아수복물은 특히 크라운 또는 비니어의 제조에 적합하며, 사출성형, 가압소결 과정을 통하여 별도의 제작과정을 거치지 않아도 3차원적 입체구조의 크라운 또는 얇은 판형의 비니어 형태를 구현할 수 있으므로, 제조과정이 단축되어 그만큼 제조시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있다.The ready-made ceramic dental restoration of the present invention prepared as described above is particularly suitable for the manufacture of crowns or veneers, and has a three-dimensional three-dimensional conformational crown or thin plate shape without a separate manufacturing process through injection molding and pressure sintering. Since the veneer shape can be implemented, the manufacturing process can be shortened, thereby reducing manufacturing time and cost.
