The material possesses remarkable beauty and strength and is composed of an acicular crystalline material (70%) embedded in a glassy matrix. The translucency, esthetics and successful clinical performance have made LDGC one of the most popular all-ceramic materials. With the increased demand for metal-free restorations, LDGC meets the requirement for a material possessing strong mechanical properties combined with the optical properties of natural teeth. Mechanical strength is one of the main factors that determines the clinical success of all-ceramic restorations. In vitro studies report flexural strength of 360-440 MPa and fracture toughness of 2.25-2.75 MPa. These numbers are low when compared to zirconia or even alumina; however, the performance of glass-ceramic should increase after etching, silanization and bonding to prepared dentin using an adhesive resin cement. The mechanical and physical properties of the material allow it to be used in various applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramesh Raja,Aarti Rajambigai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 620780970X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786207809707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Ramesh Raja","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153918931199,"sku":"9786207809707","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_357a5cee-7a06-442c-8375-a2134ba3c577.jpg?v=1770786716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flexural-strength-vs-lithium-di-silicate-ramesh-raja-9786207809707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
