Characterisation of nanovoiding in dental porcelain using small angle neutron scattering and transmission electron microscopy

Recent decades have seen significant advances in ceramic processing which have facilitated the manufacture of more efficient and practical ceramic dental prostheses [1]. The appealing appearance of these systems compared to traditional metallic based implants has meant that despite questions regarding their mechanical reliability, ceramic prostheses have become popular with patients and dental technicians [2].
