The mica-based glass-ceramics were prepared in the SiO-AlO-MgO-MgF-SrCO-CaCO-CaF-PO glass system. There were four mica-based glass-ceramics produced in this study according to the pigment added (CeO or Pr-ZrSiO/Fe-ZrSiO) and crystallization time (5-35 min). Four dental glass-ceramics, which were leucite-based, lithium disilicate-based and two zirconia reinforced lithium silicate ceramics, were also tested. The phase identification of mica-based glass-ceramics was performed using an X-ray diffractometer. The fracture toughness (K) was determined using the fractographic analysis approach. The one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the significant differences among the obtained K values at a=0.05. The results from the phase analysis showed that the mica glassceramics consisted of calcium-mica, fluorapatite and strontiumapatite. The K of mica-based glass-ceramics ranged between 1.36 to 1.53 MPa•m which were superior to only that of a leucite-based glass-ceramic. The shade and translucency of mica-based glassceramics appeared to be acceptable for dental application when compared with other dental glass-ceramics.

Previous work has shown that heat pressing of mica-based glass-ceramics can lead to crystal alignment along the direction of pressing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of heat pressing on the fracture toughness of mica-based glass-ceramics. Glass rods (12 x 60 mm) were prepared by melting the glass composition at 1400 degrees C for 2 h.

The phase constitution, microstructure and properties of a new type of machinable glass-ceramics containing fluorophlogopite-type (FPT) Ca-mica for used in restorative dentistry were investigated. According to the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectrometry(EDS), its main crystalline phases were FPT Ca-mica and t-ZrO2, together with few KxCa(1-x)/2Mg2Si4O10F2, m-ZrO2. The flexible strength was 235 MPa, which was nearly two times larger than that of the present mica-based dental materials, and the highest fracture toughness was 2.

Effect of processing variables on texture development in a mica-based glass-ceramic.

The purpose of this study was primarily to determine the feasibility of heat-pressing a mica-based glass-ceramic with the use of commercially available dental equipment, and secondly to evaluate the effect of various processing variables on the degree of crystal alignment in the pressed glass-ceramic. The hypotheses were that the mica-based glass-ceramic could be successfully heat-pressed and that some degree of crystal orientation would be obtained, depending on the processing variables. The glass composition was melted at 1400 degrees C for 2 h and cast into 12 x 60-mm rods.
