Sintering flaws in Flexoceram inlay porcelain.
The development of processing flaws within Flexoceram inlay porcelain prior to fracture strength testing was assessed qualitatively. The firing procedure recommended by the manufacturer was used except for the end-firing temperature which was varied. Sintering for 10 minutes produced less porous samples which were better than the manufacturer's recommended time of 9 minutes.
