Abstract :

Glass-ceramics with special properties are suitable for application in dental implants. In this study, we synthesized glassceramics based on miserite or wollastonite system. The composition and heat treatment were studied for their effect on the formation of the crystalline phases and on the resulting mechanical properties, such as hardness, fracture toughness, and bending strength. Various colors in Vita shades were achieved by the addition of various metal oxides such as Er2O3, Fe2O3, and Mn2O3.

Biography :
