title: [The preliminary study on WCMM machinable glass-ceramics].
abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate machinable glass-ceramics used as oral restoration material in K2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-F glass system. By using of DTA, XRD and SEM investigation, the crystalline structure and characteristics were tested. The chemical composition of WCMM machinable glass-ceramics was defined by the following general formula: (K,Na)Mg3-3x Al2x (AlSi3) O10F2(0.5 < or = x < 0.7). The experimental results show that WCMM is an excellent oral restoration materials in the fabrication of crowns, inlayers and veneers.
