Lithium disilicate 1 article

Lithium disilicate is a glass-ceramic restorative material used for veneers, crowns and partial-coverage restorations produced by pressing or CAD/CAM milling. Its silica-containing ceramic matrix allows surface conditioning with hydrofluoric acid followed by silane in adhesive workflows when indicated, supporting bonded indirect restorations. Composition and processing place it apart from polycrystalline zirconia, while it also serves a more structural role than thin layered feldspathic porcelain in many restorative designs.
