Abstract

To study the strengthening of fluorophlogopite-based dental machinable ceramic through developing a new type of calcium-mica-based ceramic. Based on the analysis of the crystal structure of the fluorophlogopite ceramic of Dicor MGC, the structure of a new type of calcium-mica-based ceramic was designed and the corresponding composition of the new material was experimented. And the new glass-ceramic was obtained through the treatment of glass preparation and nucleation. Then crystal content of the glass ceramic was analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and the 3-point bending strength of the new ceramic was recorded. A new type of calcium-mica-based glass ceramic was developed and had the 3-point bending strength of (210.2 +/- 14.7) MPa. Compared with the strength of fluorophlogopite-based dental machinable ceramic, such as Dicor MGC, which was reported in the range of 150 approximately 180 MPa within inclusive studies, the higher strength of the new ceramic was recorded. The fluorophlogopite-based dental machinable ceramic could be reinforced through internal strengthening.
