Abstract:Low fusion fluorophlogopite-leucite containing porcelain was prepared for use in dental restorations without metal substrates. Simultaneous crystallisation of fluorophlogopite and leucite phases with uniform evenly dispersed grains was achieved. Platy mica crystals and tetragonal leucite colonies crystallised in the porcelain to add strength through reinforcement of the glassy matrix. Further, chemical composition and the crystallisation process were regulated to avoid the formation of a parasitic forsterite p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
