Sintering of dental porcelain enamels.
This study showed the effects of sintering temperature and atmospheric pressure on the density, tensile strength, and microstructure of porcelain enamels. Although the densities of the opaque porcelains were higher, they were weaker than the gingival porcelains. Gingival porcelains also glazed and sintered at lower temperatures than the opaque porcelains.
