“…The lowest flexural strength was found at 700 °C, owing to the porous structure of glass-ceramics with main phase of LM. However, it is also an advantage for dental materials using Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Machining (CAD/ CAM) milling, because the low strength glass-ceramics is more processable and can still achieve excellent properties by phase transition from LM to LD after secondary heat treatment (Xiang et al, 2020;Daguano et al, 2021). When the temperature reached to 840 °C, the strength was greatly increased due to phase transformation from LM to LD.…”

Lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5, referred as LD) glass ceramics with unique aesthetic properties are ideal dental restorative materials. However, their applications are limited due to the lower flexural strength than polycrystalline ceramics. Herein, micro-nano-LD whiskers were utilized to facilitate the formation of crystallization sites and further growth of crystals in SiO2-Li2O glasses during the heat treatment process. Meanwhile, an orthogonal experiment with four-factor three-level was designed, and the optimum heat treatment conditions for preparing LD glass-ceramics with excellent flexural strength were found. The order of influencing extent of heat treatment conditions is crystallization temperature > crystallization time > nucleation temperature > nucleation time. In addition, the crystallization behavior, phase formation, microstructure and flexural strength of glass were measured at different heat treatment temperatures. Remarkably, the optimal LD glass-ceramics sample has a strong flexural strength at 342 MPa, in which plentiful crystal grains with uniform and dense distribution are observed. These results indicate that micro-nano-LD whisker-reinforced glass-ceramics obtained by optimized heat treatment program offer a potential candidate for dental applications.
