Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to preparing an improved lithium silicate glass ceramic for the manufacture of blocks for dental appliance fabrication using a CAD/CAM process and hot pressing system. The lithium silicate material has a chemical composition that is different from those reported in the prior art with 1 to 10% of germanium dioxide in final composition. The softening points are close to the crystallization final temperature of 830° C. indicating that the samples will support the temperature process without shape deformation.
