ISO/TC 106/SC 2/WG 16 - Polymer veneering and die materials

This document classifies polymer-based crown and veneering materials used in dentistry and specifies their requirements. It also specifies the test methods to be used to determine conformity to these requirements. This document is applicable to polymer-based crown and veneering materials for laboratory-fabricated permanent veneers or crowns. It also applies to polymer-based dental crown and veneering materials for which the manufacturer claims adhesion to the substructure without macro-mechanical retention such as beads or wires.

ISO 14233:2003 gives compositional, performance, user-information, packaging and marking, and testing requirements for polymer-based die materials used in dentistry. It is applicable to die materials having a polymeric matrix as their principal constituent. Polymer-based die materials are used in the dental laboratory mainly to produce casts from dental impressions for the manufacture of fixed or removable restorations)

ISO 10477:2004 classifies polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials and specifies their requirements. It also specifies the test methods to be used to determine compliance with these requirements. ISO 10477:2004 is applicable to polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials for laboratory-fabricated permanent facings or anterior crowns that may or may not be attached to a metal substructure. It also applies to polymer-based dental crown and bridge materials for which the manufacturer claims adhesion to the metal substructure without macromechanical retention such as beads or wires. ISO 10477:2004 is not applicable to polymer-based materials that are used to make crowns, veneers or repairs in the operatory, nor does it cover the application of those materials to stress-bearing areas of posterior teeth.

Covers the materials for laboratory-fabricated permanent facings or anterior crowns which may or may not be attached to a metal substructure. Classifies the materials and specifies the requirements and associated test methods.
