Impact of glazing on wear, fracture load, and optical properties of a new fully crystallized lithium disilicate ceramic material

CONCLUSIONS: The glazed fully crystallized LDS was superior to the partially crystallized one with regard to wear resistance but showed more color changes than the polished fully crystallized one. Furthermore, polishing of fully crystallized LDS could still be considered a better option than glazing when aesthetics is a primary prerequisite.PMID:37660448 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106102
