| Abstract |
| Glass-ceramics are used in dentistry for various applications such as dental inlays, onlays, crowns, veneers,
bridges, etc. Especially lithium disilicate glass-ceramics, because of their excellent aesthetics, supreme mechanical
properties and ease of shaping into final restoration, are becoming a compelling material in dental prosthetics.
The present work is aimed at synthesizing lithium disilicate glass-ceramics for their application as a dental restorative
material. In this, effects of composition and heat treatment schedule on microstructure and phase content are
investigated.
