German term

verblendmetallkeramikkrone

German to English Medical Medical: Dentistry
It has something to do with making a dental crown; I want to know what the term equates to in English so I can ask my home dentist about the treatment I am getting in Germany from a non-Anglophone dentist.

A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown (PFM) could be considered to be a hybrid of the other types of crowns, in the sense that it is composed of two different types of materials. One is a metal alloy that is used to create that portion of the crown that fits directly on the tooth. The other is porcelain. The porcelain forms the tooth-shaped aspect of the crown and gives the crown a white tooth-like coloration.

Metallkeramikkrone (VMK-Krone = Metall-Keramik-Verbundsystem)
engl.: porcelain fused-to-metal
Auf einem im Gussverfahren hergestellten Metallgerüst wird, vor allem im sichtbaren Bereich, aus i.d.R. hochwertigen Aufbrennlegierung, Keramik aufgebrannt. Dadurch kommt es zu einer chemisch homogenen Verbindung von Metall zu Keramik. Auch die zur Mundhöhle liegenden Kronen- und die Kauflächen werden zahnfarben verblendet.
Man kann auch hier auf Nichtedelmetall aufbrennen.

Vollkeramikkronen und -brücken, engl.: complete or full ceramics
Sind wegen ausgezeichneter Ästhetik und Biokompatibilität sehr beliebt.
Das „Gerüst“ besteht entweder aus Presskeramik (wie Keramikinlays) oder auf industriellen CAD/CAM-Anlagen hergestelltem Zirkonoxid. Aus diesem können auch Brücken gefertigt werden. Diese Gerüste sind zahnfarben, lichtdurchlässig und werden mit einer Spezialkeramik verblendet.






Verblendschale/Veneer, engl.: veneer
Veneers sind Keramik-Verblendschalen für die sichtbaren Zahnflächen im Frontzahnbereich. Sie können sehr dünn hergestellt werden und bieten optimale Eigenschaften für Lichtbrechung und farbliche Individualisierung. Sie werden vom Zahnarzt adhäsiv befestigt. Bei den Veneers wird weniger Zahnsubstanz präpariert als bei Kronen.
Sie werden bei folgenden Therapielösungen vorgeschlagen:

· Verfärbungen des Zahnes
· Bei großen zahnfarbenen Füllungen, die verfärbt sind
· Korrektur schiefstehender Frontzähne
· Beseitigung von einem Diastema (Lücke)
· Bei abgebrochenem Zahnschmelz
· Beseitigung von Schmelzdefekten

thanks, but we have the simpler term "Metallkeramikkrone" in German, too. So, it seems only natural to me to use the more technical term here
agree Rolf Keiser : this is the term used in the US - PFM crown

agree Nicole Schnell : My dentist's invoice from last week says: Crown - porcelain fuse high noble metal

metal-ceramic crown

"The metal-ceramic crown system still is selected the most frequently because of its strength and versatility."

veneer(ed) ceramo-metal crown

There are two important parts of the original term:
Verblend- ... and Metalkeramik ... (and even a third one: Krone)

So we have the English terms (only to give an alternative to "porcelain-fused-to-metal" or "porcelain-fused-on-metal") -> "ceramo-metal", and "ceramo-metal crowns".

The Verblend- part should not be omitted (see Susanne's reference made on "veneer"), so my suggestion is:

-> veneered ceramo-metal crown, or
-> ceramo-metal crown restoration with (porcelain?) veneer
(for the second expression you should know the veneer material IMO)

To my understanding, Verbund (-> fused in the expression in question) is different to Verblend... (the source term dows include "Verblend!") but after some more research, I see that this is really not necessary, as veneer(ed) does not add anything relevant to "porcelain-fused-to-metal" (= somewhat "doppelt-gemoppelt).

Here an English description - confirming that you do not need to include “veneer”, porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is sufficient:

neutral Susanne Schiewe : sorry, but there are hardly any ghits for this version. "Verblendet" means that the porcelain is fused on the metal; so there is nothing missing in my version - for which there are 6 mio. ghits .... "veneers" in my ref are a completely different thing
