Abstract: (7192 Views)

Various analysis techniques were used to investigate the effects of P₂O₅ on the crystallization, mechanical features, and chemical resistance of canasite-based glass-ceramics. The results showed that canasite-type crystals were the primary crystalline phase in the examined glass-ceramics subjected to the two-step heat treatment, while fluorapatite was the secondary crystalline phase in some specimens. The microstructural observations by field emission electron microscope indicated that the randomly oriented interlocked blade-like canasite crystals decreased with an increase in the P₂O₅ content of the parent glasses. Among the examined glass-ceramics, the Base-P2 composition (containing 2 weight ratios of P₂O₅ in the glass) showed the most promising mechanical features (flexural strength of 176 MPa and fracture toughness of 2.9 MPa.m^1/2) and chemical resistance (solubility of 2568 µg/cm²). This glass-ceramic could be further considered as a core material for dental restorations.
