Preparation and Characterization of LAS Glass Based Materials for Dental Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Glass ceramic materials are widely used in dental application because of their strong similarity with natural teeth. In this study LAS glass ceramic/glass materials were prepared by glazing processing and characterized in terms of mechanical flexural strength. The selected glass ceramic support derives from an industrial process. Different glasses were applied to the glass ceramic support in order to investigate firstly their effect on the glass ceramic/glass interface and secondly how these structural changes are correlated to the flexural strength property. Different thermal cycles were applied to the glass ceramic in order to promote the increasing of mechanical flexural strength. Preliminary results clearly points out that the application of a glass on the support leads to the decrease of the flexural strength if compared to the materials without any coating applied.
