Light dynamic properties of a synthetic, low-fusing, quartz glass-ceramic material

Significant material advancements have resulted in the increased application of porcelain materials as an ideal restorative substitute for tooth enamel and dentin. This discussion introduces a synthetic, low-fusing, quartz glass-ceramic system for the fabrication of fixed dental prostheses. This article evaluates and compares the properties of this ceramic system with regard to its applicability for use in contemporary dental practices. The theoretical aspects are supplemented by clinical case studies that highlight examples of the authentic results achievable using the low-fusing restorative material.
