Spheroidized powder enables the fabrication of highly translucent dental lithium disilicate glass-ceramics via 3D printing and controlled thermal processing.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat treatment on the morphology of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) powder, as well as the influence of sintering conditions on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and translucency of LDGCs produced via 3D printing. Furthermore, the in vitro cytoc...
