EXPLORING LASER GLAZING INTERACTION WITH DENTAL CERAMICS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
Abstract
This comprehensive study investigates the interaction of laser glazing with dental ceramics, a critical process in dental restoration and prosthesis fabrication. Laser glazing is a surface treatment method used to enhance the aesthetics and mechanical properties of dental ceramics. The research explores the effects of laser parameters, ceramic composition, and glazing techniques on the surface morphology, microstructure, and mechanical behavior of dental ceramics. Through experimental investigations and advanced analytical techniques, the study aims to provide valuable insights into optimizing laser glazing processes for dental applications. The findings contribute to the advancement of dental materials and technologies, enhancing the quality and longevity of dental restorations.
