CHEMICALLY BOUNDED BIOMATERIAL WITH TAILORED CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A chemically bonded biomaterial element composed of an inorganic cement, exhibiting minimal dimensional changes upon hardening and long-time use, improved mechanical properties and improved translucency. An algorithm to describe the micro-structure is expressed as maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="00001" math overflow="scroll" mrow milambda/mi mo=/mo mfrac mrow mid/mi mo*/mo mrow mo(/mo mrow mn1/mn mo-/mo msub miV/mi miF/mi /msub /mrow mo)/mo /mrow /mrow mrow mo(/mo msub miV/mi miF/mi /msub mo)/mo /mrow /mfrac /mrow /math /maths where lambda is the distance between filler particles of mean size d, and VF is the volume content of non-reacted cement and added filler, and where lambda=10 mum. The invention also relates to a device in connection with the preparation of a chemically bonded biomaterial element according to the invention.
