Effect of TiO and CaO Addition on the Crystallization and Flexural Strength of Novel Leucite Glass-Ceramics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TiO/CaO addition on the crystallization and flexural strength of leucite glass-ceramics (GC). Synthesis of translucent and high strength GCs is important for the development of aesthetic and durable dental restorations. To achieve this, experimental aluminosilicate glasses (1-3 mol% TiO and CaO (B1, B2, B3)) were melted in a furnace to produce glasses.
