It has been demonstrated that a Cs(2)O-stabilized leucite porcelain was susceptible to a stress-induced phase transformation, but toughening was not observed.1 It was hypothesized that if Cs(2)O-stabi...
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of using an X-ray diffractometer for the determination of leucite in Finesse, Ceramco II, and IPS Empress porcelains. METHODS: An internal standa...
Leucite is a major crystalline component of dental porcelains. The presence of tetragonal leucite in dental porcelains increases their coefficients of thermal expansion due to its high coefficient of ...
The dentine materials of the metal ceramic systems VMK 68 and Biodent as well as the ceramics of all ceramic systems Duceram, Cosmotech, Optec, IPS-Empress and Corum were tested for their leucite cont...
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop an adequate process-, proof- and calculation technique for the chemical strengthening of dental ceramic materials in order to evaluate the efficiency o...
High-sensitivity radioluminescence (RL) and thermoluminescence (TL) measurements were carried out on samples of natural leucite (with 2.95% of Na2O) from Campania Vessa (Italy). Samples were annealed ...
Porcelains with leucite crystals dispersed into various glass matrices were prepared for investigating the effects of the leucite crystals on the mechanical strength of glassy porcelain. The strength ...
