    The invention relates to a preform, to a porous support obtained by sintering such a preform, to a composite block obtained by impregnation of such a porous support by means of a resin, and a dental prosthesis made from such a composite block. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a preform, such a porous support and such a composite block, and to a method of manufacturing a dental prosthesis from such a composite block . State of the art
    Composite blocks comprising a support, generally made of ceramic material, and a resin filling, at least partially, the interstices of the support are known. Conventionally, the porous support, before infiltration of the resin, is obtained by sintering a preform.
    In order to manufacture the composite block, resin in the liquid state is infiltrated into the accessible or "open" pores of the support, generally by capillarity. After curing the resin, the composite block obtained is machined to the desired final shape, conventionally by "computer-aided design and machining" or CAD-CAM (Computer Aided Design - Computer Aided Machining).
    Methods of manufacturing composite blocks are described in particular in the following documents: US 5,869,548, US 5,843,348, US 5,250,352, EP 0 241 384, WO93 / 07846, EP 2 725 358, EP 0 240 643, FR 2 904 306, EP 0 701,808 or US 7,294,392. WO2010029515 still discloses a composite block for the manufacture of a dental prosthesis. US 13 / 063,365 discloses a method of infiltration, under high pressure, of a porous support by means of a resin.
    The composite blocks manufactured according to current methods do not make it possible to manufacture dental prostheses having optical and mechanical properties corresponding precisely to those of a natural tooth, which limits the commercial exploitation of these composite blocks.
    There is therefore a need for composite blocks for manufacturing prostheses having optical and mechanical properties corresponding precisely to those of a natural tooth.
    There is also a continuing need to extend the life of prostheses obtained from composite blocks.
    An object of the invention is to meet, at least partially, these needs. Summary of the invention
    According to the invention, this object is achieved by means of a preform comprising, preferably consisting of a set of agglomerated particles, preferably of ceramic material, glass-ceramic material or glass, such that, in percentages by volume - more than 40%, preferably more than 50%, preferably more than 60%, and less than 90% of the particles of said set have a size greater than 0.5 μm, preferably greater than 1.0 μm, preferably greater than at 1.5 μm, preferably greater than 2.0 μm, and less than 3.5 μm, preferably less than 3.0 μm, said particles being referred to hereinafter as "enamel particles", and - more than 10%, preferably more than 20%, preferably more than 30%, and less than 60% of the particles of said set have a size greater than 3.5 μm, preferably greater than 4.0 μm, and less than 5, 5 μm, preferably less than 5.0 μm, said particles being hereinafter referred to as "dentin particles", the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd), or "local density", evolving continuously along an axis X, called "axis of variation", Ve and Vd denoting the volume percentages by enamel particles and dentin particles, respectively.
    As will be seen in more detail in the following description, the continuous variation of the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) removes all trace of stratum, which makes it possible to manufacture a porous support having gradual variations of hues and / or mechanical properties. Advantageously, the dental prosthesis obtained from such a support is without interface line between different regions of the prosthesis.
    A preform according to the invention may also comprise one or more of the following optional features: the enamel particles have an average size D 50 greater than 1.5 μm and less than 3.0 μm, and / or the dentin particles exhibit an average size D50 greater than 4.0 μm and less than 5.0 μm; according to the axis of variation, the volume percentage of enamel particles varies oppositely, preferably in a complementary manner, to the volume percentage of dentin particles; - along the axis of variation, the concentration of enamel particles and dentin particles, ie the total volume of enamel particles and dentine particles per unit volume of the preform, present a variation of less than 20%, preferably less than 10%, with respect to its minimum value along said axis of variation, the volume unit being a volume of 1 mm 2; the preform has a first region, called the "enamel region", in which the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is greater than 0.6, preferably greater than 0.7, preferably greater than 0.8, preferably greater than 0.9, and a second region, called the "dentin region", in which the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is less than 0.5, preferably less than 0.4, preferably less than 0.3, preferably less than 0.2, preferably less than 0.05, the enamel and dentin regions preferably being in the form of layers and preferably extending from enamel faces and opposite dentine of the preform, considering the axis of variation; the enamel and dentine particles together represent more than 60%, preferably more than 70%, preferably more than 80%, preferably more than 90%, preferably substantially 100% of the volume of the mass of said set of particles. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a preform according to the invention, said method comprising the following steps: A) preparing a suspension comprising a set of particles, or "particulate filler", preferably made of ceramic material, ceramic glass or glass, said set comprising, in percentages by volume based on the volume of the mass of said set of particles: more than 30%, preferably more than 40%, and less than 70% of enamel particles, and more than 30%, preferably more than 40% and less than 70% of dentin particles, - a solvent; B) modification of the spatial distribution of the particles of the suspension, preferably by centrifugation of the suspension; C) consolidating the particles to form a preform.
    As will be seen in more detail in the remainder of the description, the modification of the spatial distribution of the particles of the suspension makes it possible to locally adapt the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd), and thus to adapt the appearance, but also the local mechanical properties of the preform and consequently of the sintered porous support, the composite block and the prosthesis. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a porous support, said method comprising a manufacture of a preform according to the invention, then a step D) of sintering said preform, the intensity of the sintering being variable as a function of the area of the preform considered.
    Such a method may also comprise one or more of the following optional features: the intensity of the sintering of a region of the preform is variable as a function of its position in the preform, preferably as a function of its position along the axis of variation; - Step D) comprises a base sintering, preferably carried out for a duration greater than 1 h and less than 4 h, during which the entire outer surface of the preform receives substantially the same heat flow density (homogeneous sintering); and additional sintering, preferably carried out at a temperature above 30 ° C, more than 50 ° C or more than 100 ° C, more than 150 ° C or more than 200 ° C at the temperature basic sintering, for a duration of preferably greater than 15 min and preferably less than 4 h, during which the heat flux density is variable depending on the portion of the outer surface of the preform considered. - During additional sintering, the density of heat flow, that is to say the intensity of sintering, is even higher than the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is high; - During additional sintering, a face of the preform near which the enamel particle concentration is the highest, called "enamel face", rests on a hot plate.

    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the following detailed description and on examining the appended drawing, provided for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, in which: FIG. 1 illustrates a method of manufacturing a dental prosthesis according to the invention; FIGS. 2 and 3, and 4 very schematically illustrate steps B) and D), respectively, of a method of manufacturing a dental prosthesis according to the invention; FIG. 5 very schematically represents a composite block in a preferred embodiment of the invention. Definitions
    A "preform" is conventionally a solid mass with open porosity consisting of agglomerated particles, that is to say, joined to each other without sintering or melting of these particles. This agglomeration may result, in particular, from compaction of the particles, preferably without plastic deformation of the particles, or from a mixture of the particles with a binder or without a binder. - "Dental prosthesis" generally means any piece intended to be placed on the teeth of a patient for the purpose of restoring all or part of its natural form and function. Thus, the dental prostheses manufactured according to the invention can be, for example, peripheral screeds or crowns which are placed on the stump of a natural tooth, or prostheses generally referred to as "inlay" and "onlay" which are intended to reconstruct a partial alteration of a tooth by filling the cavity resulting from the loss of substance of the tooth by a piece of the same shape made by the prosthetist, or even bridges which are prostheses which simultaneously support the remaining portions of at least two teeth possibly compensating for one or more of the missing teeth, or dental crowns screwed on implants. Depending on the nature of the dental prosthesis manufactured, a composite block according to the invention can be made integral with other parts, for example a metal base.
    The "size" of a particle of a powder is conventionally given by a particle size distribution characterization. A laser granulometer allows the measurement of sizes less than or equal to 5 mm.
    The percentiles or "percentiles" (Dio), 50 (D50), 90 (D90) and 99.5 (D995) of a powder are the particle sizes corresponding to the percentages, by weight, of 10%, 50% , 90% and 99.5% respectively, on the cumulative particle size distribution curve of the particles of the powder, the particle sizes being ranked in ascending order. For example, 10%, by weight, of the particles of the powder have a size smaller than Dio and 90% of the particles by mass have a size greater than Dio. Percentiles can be determined using a particle size distribution using a laser granulometer.
    The "maximum size" is the 99.5 percentile (099 ^ 5) of said powder.
    The so-called "median size" is the percentile D50, that is to say the size dividing the particles into first and second populations equal in mass, these first and second populations comprising only particles having a larger size, or smaller respectively, at the median size.
    In a preform, the particles are no longer in the form of a powder, but are agglomerated, by compaction or by means of a binder, preferably a temporary binder. Their dimensions, however, are the same as they had in the starting load having been prepared to form the preform. The size of the particles within the preform can therefore be evaluated from the characteristics of the powders used to form the feedstock. The size of the particles in the preform can also be classically evaluated by preform sectional image analyzes. These images can be obtained in particular by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
    Sintering of the preform leads to a porous support. During sintering, sintering necks are formed and the particles are firmly attached to each other. Their dimensions, however, are not substantially modified. Image analyzes of media slices thus also make it possible to evaluate the particle size distribution of the particles of the preform.
    The average pore size can be conventionally measured with a mercury porosimeter.
    Unless otherwise indicated, "comprising a", "comprising a" or "presenting a" must be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner.
    The volume percentages relating to particles, for example the percentages of particles of enamel Ve and dentin particles Vd, are percentages on the basis of the mass of these particles, that is to say ignoring the interstices between the particles.
    detailed description
    preform
    As shown in FIG. 3, a preform 10 according to the invention consists of a set of agglomerated particles.
    The constituent material of the particles may be any material commonly used for the manufacture of dental prostheses.
    Preferably, more than 50%, more than 70%, more than 90%, preferably 100% by volume of the particles of said set are the same material, preferably ceramic.
    Preferably, the material is in one or more metal oxides, in the form of glass-ceramic, glass, or crystalline ceramic such as quartz, alumina or mullite.
    Preferably, the maximum size of the set of particles is greater than 1 μm and / or less than 10 μm.
    Preferably, the minimum size of the set of particles is greater than 0.01 μm and / or less than 0.5 μm.
    Preferably, the median size of the set of particles is greater than 1 μm and / or less than 10 μm.
    According to the invention, the spatial distribution of the particles depends on their sizes. In particular, there are regions in which the volume percentages of the enamel particles Pe, i.e. very fine particles having a size greater than 1.5 μm and less than 3.5 μm, are different.
    There are also regions in which the volume percentages of the dentin Pd particles, i.e., fine particles having a size greater than 3.5 μm and less than 5.5 μm, are different.
    The volume percentage can be estimated by dividing the volume occupied by the particles considered by the volume of the region considered. The region may be for example a cubic region of 1 mm side.
    Preferably, along the axis of variation X, the volume percentage of enamel particles varies inversely, preferably inversely proportional to the percentage by volume of dentin particles, that is to say that a region comprises all the more enamel particles it has less dentin particles, as shown in Figure 3.
    Preferably, the enamel and dentine particles together represent more than 60%, more than 70%, or even more than 80% of the preform, as a percentage by volume.
    Preferably, the particle size distribution (number of particles as a function of the particle size) of the set of particles is bimodal, that is to say comprises first and second main modes, the first main mode being greater than 1 , 5 μm, preferably greater than 2.0 μm, and less than 3.5 μm, preferably less than 3.0 μm, the second mode being greater than 3.5 μm, preferably greater than 4.0 μm, and less than 5.5 μm, preferably less than 5.0 μm.
    The ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) evolves continuously along an axis X, called "axis of variation". The axis of variation can be rectilinear or not. Preferably, it is rectilinear.
    A "continuous" evolution corresponds to an evolution such that, along the axis of variation, there is no plateau for the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd), except possibly in the extreme regions of the preform.
    Preferably, within the preform, there is no step for the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd), which therefore evolves constantly along the axis of variation.
    Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, within the preform, the evolution of the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is monotonic, that is to say that this ratio is always increasing or decreasing, along of the heterogeneity axis.
    Preferably, within the preform, the preform has a first region, called "enamel region", in which the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is greater than 0.9, and a second region, called "region dentin ", wherein the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is less than 0.05.
    Preferably, within the preform, each of the enamel and dentin regions has a volume greater than 30 mm, preferably greater than 50 mm, preferably greater than 100 mm, preferably greater than 150 mm. .
    Preferably, the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) evolves identically along any line parallel to the axis of variation. Thus, in a slice of the preform perpendicular to the variation axis, of very small thickness, the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) is substantially constant.
    Preferably, the enamel and dentine regions are therefore in the form of layers, preferably extending from opposite enamel Fe and dentin Fd faces of the preform, preferably substantially perpendicular to the variation.
    Preferably, each of said layers has a thickness greater than 1 mm, preferably greater than 2 mm, preferably greater than 3 mm, preferably greater than 4 mm, preferably greater than 5 mm.
    Preferably, there is at least one enamel region and a dentin region together occupying more than 70%, more than 80%, more than 90%, preferably 100% of the volume of the preform.
    Process for manufacturing the preform
    A process comprising steps A) to C) is well suited to manufacture a preform according to the invention. In step A), a suspension is conventionally prepared by mixing in a container powders in a solvent 4.
    The solid fraction of the suspension preferably represents more than 50%, preferably more than 60%, by volume, and less than 75%, preferably less than 70% by volume of the suspension.
    Preferably, a first Pe particle powder having a median size greater than 1.5 μm, preferably greater than 2.0 μm, and less than 3.5 μm, preferably less than 3.0 μm, or "powder, is preferably mixed. of enamel ", and a second Pd particle powder having a median size greater than 3.5 μm, preferably greater than 4.0 μm, and less than 5.5 μm, preferably less than 5.0 μm or" dentin powder ". Preferably, the first and second powders together represent more than 90%, more than 95%, preferably 100% of the mass of the solid fraction.
    Preferably, the solid fraction consists of enamel and dentine powders.
    Preferably, the solid fraction consists, for more than 90%, of more than 95%, preferably 100% of its mass, of particles in one or more metal oxides, in the form of glass-ceramic, glass, or crystalline ceramics such as quartz, alumina or mullite.
    In one embodiment, the dentin particles contain colored pigments, in particular colored pigments conventionally used for the manufacture of dental prostheses.
    In one embodiment, the enamel particles do not contain colored pigments.
    The only variation of the spatial distribution of the particles indeed makes it possible to obtain variations of hues corresponding to the natural variations of the teeth.
    The solvent is preferably selected from the group consisting of water and water + ethanol mixtures. Conventionally, it may also contain a pH-modifying agent, for example hydrochloric acid and / or acetic acid, and / or a deflocculant, for example sodium polymethacrylate and / or sodium silicate, and / or sodium polycarboxylate, and / or a binder, for example polyvinyl alcohol. In step B), the container is preferably rotated, preferably around an axis of rotation Y, so as to centrifuge the suspension and thereby create segregation between the particles.
    During centrifugation, as shown in FIG. 2, the spatial distribution of the particles of the suspension varies according to the direction of the centrifugal force. When all the particles are in the same material and have similar shapes and densities, the concentration of large particles increases as one moves away from the center of rotation, along the axis of variation X corresponding to the direction of rotation. the centrifugal force and therefore perpendicular to the axis of rotation Y.
    The variation of the centrifugation conditions and the viscosity of the suspension makes it possible to adapt the spatial distribution of the particles.
    The centrifugation conditions are the rotational speed and the centrifugation time. In a well known manner, for the same suspension, the segregation of the particles increases with the intensity of the centrifugation, that is to say with the speed of rotation and the centrifugation time. The effect of the centrifugation depends, in known manner, the nature of the solvent, including its viscosity, but also the parameters of the particles, and in particular their composition and shape. Simple tests make it possible to determine suitable centrifugation conditions.
    The face of the suspension that is closest to the axis of rotation Y during centrifugation is called the "enamel face" Fe. When the particles of the suspension have substantially all the same density, it is close to this side that the concentration of particles of smaller sizes is the highest. In particular, it is near this face that the concentration of enamel particles is the highest.
    Centrifugation participates in the agglomeration of particles.
    Centrifugation produces an acceleration of preferably greater than 50 G, preferably greater than 80 G, preferably greater than 100 G, preferably greater than 130 G, or even greater than 150 G.
    The centrifugation time is preferably greater than 10 min, preferably greater than 20 min, or even greater than 30 min. In step C), the solvent is extracted from the suspension, which makes it possible to enhance the agglomeration of the particles.
    Preferably, after centrifugation, the supernatant is poured out of the suspension. It can also be removed by heating under vacuum.
    Then, drying is performed to remove the liquid between the agglomerated particles. At the end of step C), a preform according to the invention is obtained, as shown in FIG.
    Process for manufacturing a porous support from the preform The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a porous support comprising steps A) to C) so as to produce a preform according to the invention, then a step D sintering of said preform.
    In one embodiment, the preform is sintered base, preferably substantially homogeneous. The sintering temperature depends on the nature of the particles. The person skilled in the art knows how to adapt this temperature according to the nature of the particles. The duration of the basic sintering is preferably greater than 1 hour, preferably greater than 2 hours, preferably greater than 3 hours, and / or less than 5 hours, preferably less than 3 hours, preferably less than 2.5 hours. h, preferably less than 2.25 h.
    The base sintering is preferably substantially homogeneous, that is to say that the thermal flux densities (in W / m 2) are substantially the same regardless of the portion of the outer surface of the preform considered.
    The ramps of rise and fall in temperature can be, for example, between 25 ° C and 300 ° C / hour.
    The furnace 20 used for the basic sintering may be a conventional sintering furnace.
    In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sintering conditions are differential, that is to say they depend on the region of the preform considered. The variation of the sintering conditions makes it possible to locally adapt the density of the support. In the absence of differential sintering, the porous support makes it possible to manufacture a composite block which has a gradient of optical properties, but substantially without a gradient of mechanical properties, the email particles being the smallest. However, the mechanical properties of a natural tooth are different depending on the region considered. In particular enamel and dentine do not have the same mechanical properties.
    Differential sintering advantageously makes it possible to adapt the mechanical properties of different regions of the composite block to the corresponding regions of the natural tooth. In particular, preferably, sintering is reinforced in the enamel region to reduce open porosity and increase local density. After impregnation with the resin, the enamel region of the composite block advantageously has a higher hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance.
    The sintering conditions are the sintering temperature and the sintering time, or "sintering time", that is, the time during which the sintering temperature is maintained.
    As is well known, the density of a region of the support increases with the intensity of the sintering, that is to say with the sintering temperature and the sintering time.
    Preferably, the intensity of the sintering of a first region, called the "porous region", is greater than the intensity of the sintering of a second region, called the "highly porous region", as represented in FIG.
    The porous region preferably comprises a ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) greater than the ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) of the highly porous region.
    Preferably, the porous region undergoes, in addition to basic sintering, additional sintering, which does not undergo the highly porous region. The duration of the additional sintering is preferably greater than 15 min, preferably greater than 30 min, preferably greater than 1 h, and / or less than 2 h, preferably less than 3 h, preferably less than 2.5 h. preferably less than 2.25 h.
    Preferably, for the additional sintering, the preform is heated in a preferred direction, the so-called "heating direction", that is to say that the heat emitted by the heat source penetrates the preform in a privileged manner by following the heating direction. Preferably, the preform is arranged facing a heat source, preferably placed by a lower face, preferably the enamel face Fe, on a heating plate 22, for example disposed in the oven 20. The intensity of the sintering decreases as one moves away from the heat source, to the opposite face, or "dentin face" Fd.
    When the preform is heated in a heating direction, the variation of the duration of the additional sintering advantageously makes it possible to modify the depth of the region of the preform which is affected by the additional sintering, but also the intensity of the sintering as a function of the depth.
    More preferably, the additional sintering is carried out immediately after basic sintering without moving the preform in the oven between the two sinterings. Preferably, the preform is initially placed, by its enamel face, on the heating plate 22 disposed in the oven 20. For basic sintering, the interior of the oven is heated, the heating plate being extinguished. The heating is then substantially homogeneous. The hotplate is then ignited to provide additional sintering of the enamel region.
    Additional sintering can be performed without turning off the oven or after turning off the oven.
    Additional sintering may be performed, while basic sintering continues or after completion of said base sintering, for part of the preform.
    Preferably, the additional sintering is carried out while the basic sintering continues for part of the preform.
    When using a heating plate, as described above, preferably, the enamel face is heated by the heating plate, while the other faces remain at the sintering temperature of the base sintering. After ignition of the heating plate, the homogeneous sintering therefore continues only for part of the preform.
    The additional sintering thus reinforces locally the basic sintering. Preferably, the additional sintering then results in a local temperature increase of greater than 30 ° C., preferably greater than 50 ° C., or even greater than 100 ° C., greater than 150 ° C. or greater than 200 ° C. preferably for a time greater than 10 min, preferably greater than 15 min, greater than 30 min, greater than 60 min.
    As shown in FIG. 4, the heating direction is preferably substantially parallel to the x-axis of variation of the preform, preferably such that the region having, on average, the finest particles is the most heated. Preferably, this region corresponds to an enamel region of the preform.
    The second curve of FIG. 3 represents the variation of the sintering intensity If resulting from the additional sintering, as a function of the depth x, from the enamel face Fe of the preform placed on the heating plate 22, along of the heating direction. Preferably, the sintering intensity decreases to a depth p, then remains substantially constant.
    After the additional sintering, the porous region Rp thus has a higher density and hardness than those of the highly porous Rpp region (FIG. 4).
    Preferably, the porous region has an open porosity less than 1%, preferably less than 5%, preferably less than 10% to the highly porous region.
    Preferably, any region of the support has an open porosity greater than 10%, measured according to ISO 5017, which facilitates the infiltration of the resin.
    More preferably, any region of the support has an open porosity of between 25% and 50%. The largest diameter of the open pores is preferably between 0.1 μm and 1 μm.
    Porous support The invention also relates to a porous support obtained by sintering a preform according to the invention.
    The average pore size in the porous region is preferably greater than 0.1 μm and less than 0.3 μm.
    The average pore size in the highly porous region is preferably greater than the average pore size in the porous region. It is preferably greater than 0.2 μm and less than 0.3 μm.
    The porous and highly porous regions are preferably at two opposite ends of the support.
    The porous region may be included in an enamel region or vice versa. Preferably, the porous region is substantially merged with an enamel region.
    The highly porous region may be included in a dentine region or vice versa. Preferably, the highly porous region is substantially merged with a dentin region. The correspondence between the porous region and the enamel region is particularly possible when the preform is placed on a heating plate by a face corresponding to the inner face of the suspension during its centrifugation, that is to say on the face closest to the center of rotation during centrifugation.
    The correspondence between the highly porous region and the dentine region is also possible when the preform is placed on a heating plate by a face Fe corresponding to the inner face of the suspension during its centrifugation, that is to say on the face closest to the center of rotation during centrifugation. The invention is not limited by the chemical nature or the general shape of the support, provided that the support is sufficiently porous and has interconnected open pores, including its mass.
    More preferably, before any resin infiltration, the porous support has, on average, a density greater than 60% and / or less than 85%.
    In one embodiment, the preform and / or the support have the general shape of a tooth or a parallelepiped block of dimensions substantially equivalent to those of a tooth, for example the largest dimension of which is less than 2 cm. preferably less than 11.5 cm and / or the smallest dimension is greater than 5 mm.
    The preform and / or the support may also be in the form of a disk, for example 100 mm in diameter, preferably having a thickness greater than 10 mm and / or less than 25 mm, for example 12 mm, 14 mm or 20 mm. The preform and / or the support must then be cut to form blocks of dimensions substantially equivalent to those of a tooth.
    The porous support is preferably made of a sintered ceramic material, preferably chosen from one or more metal oxides, in the form of glass-ceramic, glass, or crystalline ceramic such as quartz, alumina or mullite.
    The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a composite block, comprising steps A) to D) so as to produce a porous support according to the invention, and then steps E) and F): E) infiltration of the porous support by means of a resin in the liquid state; F) curing the resin in the liquid state impregnating the support.
    The composite block results from the hardening of the infiltrated resin.
    Known infiltration techniques can be used.
    The resin may be a monomer or a mixture of monomers. Preferably, the resin in the liquid state comprises only a mixture of monomers and a catalyst.
    Preferably, the resin is chemopolymerizable, thermopolymerizable, or thermoplastic.
    In a preferred embodiment, the resin in the liquid state has substantially no particles.
    In one embodiment, the resin in the liquid state does not contain any pigment (particle of nanometric size), or even no solid particle.
    To facilitate the penetration of the resin in the liquid state, it is indeed preferable that it has a low viscosity. In particular, it should not present a pasty nature. If necessary, the viscosity can be reduced by moderate heating.
    The nature of the resin is not limiting.
    The resin may in particular be selected from the polymerizable resins described in US 5,869,548, US 5,843,348 and EP 0 701 808.
    Preferably, the resin is chosen from the following list: a monomer resin that is chemopolymerizable or thermopolymerizable, preferably a vinylester or acrylic resin. The resin may in particular be chosen from the group formed by 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, CAS 868-77-9 (HEMA), Tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate CAS 109-17-1 (TEGDMA), 2,2-bis- ( 4- (2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropoxy) phenyl) propane, CAS 1565-94-2 (BIS-GMA), urethane dimethacrylate 1,6-bis (2-methacryloxyethoxycarbonylamino) 2,4,4- trimethylhexane, (UDMA) CAS 72869-86-4, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA), bisphenol A-dimethacrylate, CAS 109-17-1 (BADMA); a thermoplastic resin, in particular chosen from saturated polyesters, and in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and poly (1,4-butylene terephthalate), CAS 24968-12-5 (PBT), Polycarbonates Poly (bisphenol A carbonate) , CAS 25037-45-0 (PC), bisphenol A-carbonate, and polyamides. To catalyze the chemopolymerizable impregnating materials, it is possible to use peroxides, and in particular Dibenzoylperoxyd, CAS 94-36-0, Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxides, CAS 1338-23-4, Di-tert-amyl peroxide, CAS 10508-09-5, Di-tert.-butylperoxide, CAS 110-05-4, or Cumene Hydroperoxide, CAS 80-15-9.
    To accelerate hardening with Dibenzoylperoxyd, CAS 94-36-0, it is possible to use dimethylaniline (DMA), diethylaniline (DEA) or dimethyl-para-toluidine (DMPT). To accelerate the hardening with Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxides, CAS 1338-23-4, it is possible to use, in particular, cobalt (Π) 2-ethylhexanoate.
    Preferably, a vacuum is created in the support before the beginning of the infiltration of the resin in the liquid state. This vacuum preferably corresponds to a pressure of less than 100 mbar, preferably less than 20 mbar. Advantageously, the vacuum promotes the penetration of the resin in the liquid state.
    The total open pore volume of the porous support is called Vp (1), before any resin infiltration, measured at a temperature of 20 ° C and a pressure of 1 bar (ambient pressure).
    VI (1) is the volume of resin in the liquid state infiltrated into the support, measured at a temperature of 20 ° C and a pressure of 1 bar.
    In a first embodiment, the resin in the liquid state comes to fill the open pore volume Vp (1) by capillarity, at low pressure, typically at ambient pressure. The volume of resin in the liquid state infiltrated into the support, VI (1), is therefore substantially equal to the open pore volume Vp (1). The infiltration of the resin in the liquid state can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. An infiltration at atmospheric pressure is advantageously simple to implement, but requires the use of a resin in the liquid state of low viscosity. Infiltration under higher pressure is also possible, and may even be necessary if the resin in the liquid state has too high a viscosity.
    However, by curing the resin shrinks so that the volume occupied by the solid state resin Vm (1) is smaller than the open pore volume Vp (1). For example, the retraction resulting from a polymerization at ambient temperature can conventionally lead to a decrease in the volume occupied by the resin of between 6% and 15% of its initial volume.
    This results in high tensile stresses at the interface between the resin and the surface of the support defining the pores, which can lead to detachment of the resin, and therefore to a reduction in the life of the dental prosthesis, making it unfit for marketing.
    Preferably, in a second preferred embodiment, the resin impregnating the support is cured in the liquid state, while the resin is subjected to a high pressure, greater than 300 bar.
    Preferably, a volume of resin in the liquid state VI is penetrated and hardened in the support at least 2%, preferably at least 5%, preferably at least 10%, or even more at least 15%, at the volume Vp of the open pores of the support, the volumes V1 and Vp being measured at a temperature of 20 ° C. and under a pressure of 1 bar. In other words, to measure the volume Vl, the resin, in the liquid state, which has been infiltrated into the pores of the support under high pressure (the volume of which, at the time of this infiltration, corresponds substantially to the volume Vp of the pores) is considered. of the support), but considering the volume occupied by this resin, in the liquid state, at a temperature of 20 ° C and at a pressure of 1 bar, that is to say before it is put under pressure.
    The resin in the infiltrated liquid state may in particular be subjected to a pressure greater than 400 bar, preferably greater than 500 bar, greater than 1000 bar, greater than 2000 bar, greater than 3000 bar, greater than 4000 bar, and even greater at 5000 bar. These high pressures increase the densities of the resin in the liquid state and the material constituting the support. However, the compressibility of the resin in the liquid state is greater than that of the material constituting the support. The quantity of resin in the liquid state that can be infiltrated, per unit of volume of the open pores, is therefore greater than that which could be infiltrated by applying only lower pressures, and in particular the atmospheric pressure.
    Putting under high pressure leads to a reduction in the volume of the resin, which makes it possible to obtain a volume of resin in the liquid state Vl that is at least 2%, preferably at least 5%, preferably by at least 10%, or even at least 15%, at the volume Vp of the open pores of the support.
    By curing the resin under pressure in the liquid state, it thus becomes possible, after returning to atmospheric pressure, to create prestresses tending to compress the resin. This results in considerably improved mechanical strength.
    The high pressure must be exerted on the resin infiltrated into the support while it is still in the liquid state and until it has, at least partially hardened. Preferably, all of the resin in the liquid state impregnating the support is cured before returning to atmospheric pressure. Preferably, the pressure is kept substantially constant until all of the infiltrated resin has hardened.
    The high pressure can also be exerted during all or part of the infiltration phase, which advantageously facilitates the penetration of the resin in the liquid state, and thus allows the use of more viscous resins.
    Preferably, the high pressure is exerted isostatically, or "uniaxial". All known methods of pressurization can be used.
    Advantageously, in the second preferred embodiment, the composite block obtained then has no mechanical stresses tending to take off the resin support (tensile stresses on the resin). On the contrary, preferably, the "overflowing" of infiltrated and cured resin is determined, depending on the resin and the support, to create a prestressing, that is to say a permanent pressure between resin in the solid state and the support.
    In other words, preferably, the resin in the solid state is compressed by the sintered support. The mechanical strength of the composite block is considerably increased. As an alternative to the high-pressure operation described above or, preferably, in addition to this setting under high pressure, the infiltration of resin in the liquid state, if necessary under pressure, is continued during the curing of the resin. already infiltrated and, more preferably, this hardening is controlled so that it is performed from inside the support to its periphery. Advantageously, the cured resin does not therefore oppose the penetration of resin in the additional liquid state within the support. It is thus possible to compensate for the decrease in the volume occupied by the infiltrated resin due to its hardening, and beyond that, to compress the resin in the solid state.
    In order to control the hardening, it is in particular possible to act on one or more of the following parameters: the concentration of accelerator and / or catalyst in the resin in the liquid state; the temperature and the holding time at this temperature; the chemical nature of the resin.
    Preferably, the optimum conditions, and in particular the high pressure possibly used in step F) and optionally in step E), are determined, depending on the resin and the support, by measurements of the homogeneity of microhardness, mechanical strength and optical properties.
    The resin may in particular be a chemopolymerizable resin, conventionally mixed with a catalyst and an accelerator, infiltrated for example with a pressure of 500 bar and at a temperature of between 80 ° C. and 100 ° C.
    The resin may also be a thermoplastic resin infiltrated for example under an isostatic pressure of 2500 bar, at 250 ° C, in a support previously evacuated and heated to 250 ° C. The thermoplastic resin can also be infiltrated, for example, at a pressure of 3500 bar, at a temperature of 300 ° C, in a support previously evacuated and heated to a temperature of 300 ° C.
    For example, when the resin is chemo-polymerizable, it is possible to add a variable amount of accelerator. At the beginning of the infiltration, for example, one can infiltrate a resin having a high amount of accelerator, and then, as the infiltration, reduce the accelerator concentration in the infiltrated resin.
    The nature of the resin can also be variable. For example, it is possible, at the beginning of infiltration, to infiltrate a first thermopolymerizable resin at a first temperature, then to infiltrate a second thermopolymerizable resin at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. For example, the infiltration can begin with benzoyl peroxide, polymerizable at 80 ° C, then continue with di-t-butyl-1,2,1-peroxide or di-t-amyl-1,4 2-peroxide or comyl-1,8,8-peroxide, polymerizable at 120 ° C. To control the hardening, it is then sufficient to heat the support at a temperature between 80 ° C and 120 ° C, for example 90 ° C, in order to harden only the first resin in the heart of the support, then heat the support at above 120 ° C to cure the second resin at the periphery. Infiltration under a pressure of about 2000 bar is advantageous.
    Alternatively, it is possible to first infiltrate into the core of the support a chemopolymerisable resin, for example a first resin mixed with a catalyst and an accelerator, then, at its periphery, a thermopolymerizable resin, for example a second mixed resin to a catalyst. The hardening of the peripheral resin can then be carried out by heating, for example, between 80 ° C. and 100 ° C., after hardening of the resin placed in the core of the support. Infiltration under a pressure of about 1500 bar is advantageous.
    If necessary, the composite block is subjected to a heat treatment adapted to perfect the polymerization, for example 100 ° C for one hour.
    Composite block made from the porous support The invention also relates to a composite block comprising a support according to the invention, impregnated with a resin in the solid state (FIG. 5), preferably manufactured according to a manufacturing process according to the invention. invention, and in particular with a curing, at least a portion of the resin, under high pressure (second preferred embodiment).
    Preferably, the support is shaped so that the composite block can be machined by a CAD-CAM device, in particular by a machining device such as the CELAY® system from Mikrona or CEREC 3 from SIRONA.

    Steps 4) and 5) correspond to steps E) and F) of a method of manufacturing a composite block according to the invention, as described above.
    Examples The following example is provided for illustrative and non-limiting purposes.
    The following powders were mixed: - 30% by volume a powder of alumina particles having 0.5 dioleils Dio of 0.5 pm, D50 of 3 pm and D90 of 6 pm, bringing in particular particles of enamel; and - 70% by volume of a powder of alumina particles having D percentiles of 2 μm, D50 of 5.5 μm and D90 of 8 μm, notably providing dentin particles; The set of particles thus formed was mixed with water so as to constitute a suspension. Dry matter (alumina particles) accounted for 50% of the suspension volume. 0.05% citric acid (binder), as a percentage of the mass of said suspension, was added. The assembly was mixed by means of a planetary mixer and then centrifuged so as to apply a 150 G acceleration for 30 minutes. The centrifuged mass had the following dimensions: L: 40 mm; 1: 20 mm; e: 16 mm.
    The supernatant was discarded.
    The ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) near the face of the centrifugal mass near the axis of rotation (enamel face) was 0.9.
    The region of the preform extending from the enamel face to a plane parallel to the enamel face and defined so that said region represents 25% of the volume of the support, constituted an "enamel region".
    The ratio Ve / (Ve + Vd) near the opposite face (dentine face), away from the axis of rotation was 0.1.
    The region of the preform extending from the dentine face to a plane parallel to the dentine face and defined so that said region represents 25% of the volume of the support, constituted a "dentine region".
    The centrifuged mass was then dried at 20 ° C for 24 hours, which resulted in a preform.
    The preform was demolded and then introduced into an oven, the enamel face being placed on a hot plate previously arranged in the oven.
    The furnace was heated to 1100 ° C for 4 hours to ensure substantially homogeneous basic sintering of the preform.
    The heating plate on which the enamel face is then lit, keeping the oven at 1100 ° C, so that the enamel face is heated to a temperature of 1300 ° C for 1.5 hours, and thus undergoes additional sintering.
    The heat treatment resulted in a porous support having an average open porosity of 40%.
    The region of the porous support extending from the enamel face to a plane parallel to the enamel face and defined so that said region represents 25% of the support volume, had an average pore size, measured with a mercury porosimeter, 0.2 μm. It constituted a "porous region".
    The region of the porous support extending from the dentin face to a plane parallel to the dentine face and defined so that said region represents 25% of the support volume, had an average pore size of 0.3 μm. It constituted a "very porous region".
    The porous support was successively subjected to a silanation treatment with a solution having the following composition, in percentages by weight: methoxypropanol: 93.8% water: 5% acetic acid: 0.2% silane: 1% - drying at 150 ° C. C for 4 hours; - a vacuum; an infiltration of a resin at a temperature of 60 ° C. under a pressure of 80 bar for 4 hours, the mass composition of this resin being as follows: UDMA: 99% DI-TERT-AMYL-PEROXIDE: 1% heating at 150 ° C. under a pressure of 2000 bar for 1 hour in order to polymerize the resin.
    In practice, it is possible, after the silanation operation, to dispose the porous support in a latex mold, to evacuate it, for example to a pressure of about 100 mbar, and then to introduce the resin in the liquid state under vacuum and close the mold. After infiltration, the mold thus closed can then be introduced into a pot or into an autoclave where it is progressively subjected to the pressure of 2000 bar and the consolidation heating of the resin, before cooling and return to atmospheric pressure.
    The porous region of the support corresponded to a "very hard region" having a hardness of 380 Vickers and a Young's elastic modulus of 55 GPa.
    The highly porous region of the support corresponded to a "hard region" having a hardness of 160 Vickers and a Young's elastic modulus of 25 GPa.
    As now clearly apparent, the invention makes it possible to obtain a continuous and progressive variation of the optical and / or mechanical properties of a composite block intended for the manufacture of a dental prosthesis. It therefore makes it possible to manufacture a dental prosthesis whose appearance and mechanical properties are substantially identical to those of a natural tooth.
    Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described, nor to the examples. In particular, the infiltration of resin in the liquid state can be limited to a limited region of the support, and in particular be limited to its peripheral region.
