ABSTRACT

Additionally, the interaction between different powders must also be considered in materials submitted to this technique, since temperatures high enough for densification to occur are required [9].

The strengthening of feldspathic porcelain with zirconia micro-particles has high potential for improvement of its mechanical strength and toughness properties, as well as its wear resistance [10-12]. It is expected that the use of zirconiareinforced porcelain also produces improvements in the properties of the zirconia-porcelain dental restoration interface.
