Abstract
Abstract A method of forming a clinically unbreakable composite structure between a noble based metal and a ceramic comprising depositing a thin layer of a bonding material including finely divided particles of a noble metal halide alone or in combination with particles of a noble metal; sintering the layer at a predetermined temperature between 1775° F. and 1975° F. and firing a ceramic over the sintered coating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A method for forming a clinically unbreakable composite structure between a noble based metal and a ceramic comprising the steps of depositing a thin layer of a bonding material upon the surface of said noble based metal, said bonding material comprising a composition of from about one to 100% by weight of finely divided particles of a noble metal halide and from zero to 99% by weight of finely divided substantially gold based metal particles, sintering said layer of bonding material at a predetermined temperature within a temperature range between 1775° F. to 1975° F. and firing a ceramic material over said sintered coating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
104 words
A method for forming a clinically unbreakable composite structure between a noble based metal and a ceramic comprising the steps of depositing a thin layer of a bonding material upon the surface of said noble based metal, said bonding material comprising a composition of from about one to 100% by weight of finely divided particles of a noble metal halide and from zero to 99% by weight of finely divided substantially gold based metal particles, sintering said layer of bonding material at a predetermined temperature within a temperature range between 1775° F. to 1975° F. and firing a ceramic material over said sintered coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A method as defined in claim 1 wherein said halide is a chloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as defined in claim 2 wherein said noble metal halide comprises a chloride of a noble metal selected from the group of noble metals consisting of platinum, palladium, gold and silver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as defined in claim 2 wherein said sintering temperature is between about 1850° F. to 1900° F.

A method as defined in claim 4 wherein said unbreakable structure is a metal porcelain tooth restoration.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
91 words
A composite structure composed of a layer of a noble based metal, a layer of ceramic material and an intermediate layer of a material having a composition of from one to 100% by weight of finely divided particles of a noble metal halide and from zero to 99% by weight of finely divided substantially gold based metal particles formed by the method of sintering said intermediate layer at a predetermined temperature range of between 1700° F. to 1975° F. with said layer of ceramic material fired at between 1600° to 1820°.

Dependent Claim
91 words
A composite structure composed of a layer of a noble based metal, a layer of ceramic material and an intermediate layer of a material having a composition of from one to 100% by weight of finely divided particles of a noble metal halide and from zero to 99% by weight of finely divided substantially gold based metal particles formed by the method of sintering said intermediate layer at a predetermined temperature range of between 1700° F. to 1975° F. with said layer of ceramic material fired at between 1600° to 1820°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composite structure as defined in claim 6 wherein said noble metal halide comprises a chloride of a noble metal selected from the group of noble metals consisting of platinum, palladium, gold and silver.
