Talk:Dental porcelain

Dental porcelain to Dental ceramics title
I feel that dental porcelain is an incorrect term when talking about the material. Porcelain is a term used to describe materials which contain high amounts of kaolin, however this is hardly used in dental ceramics as it gives opaque properties influencing the aesthetics. Is there a way to change the title around? S.hallang (talk) 16:25, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Uranium in dental porcelain
It seems that they used to put uranium in dental porcelain.

Does this still hold true? 76.67.97.228 (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I simply asked a legitimate question, and you feel free to comment on my character? As you say I did to Kwami? Follow your own rules you cite to me above.

As to whether uranium was ever used in dental porcelain, it was. Here are the sites you asked for. Not Cecil's. But he was right that uranium was used.

And despite your rude answer, I did find the answer to my question, which was no. Uranium is no longer used in dental porcelain. 76.67.97.228 (talk) 05:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Image needs replacement
Hello all...

An image used in the article, specifically Image:DSCN0126.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

You have your mission, take your camera and start clicking.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 01:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
