title: [Research on the matching between alumina-glass composite and Vita alpha veneering ceramic].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the matching between self-made alumina-glass composite and Vita alpha veneering ceramic.
  
  
  METHODS
  By using thermal shock test and SEM.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The crazing resistance of alumina glass composite via Vita alpha ceramic expressed as the mean delta T was 170 degrees C. SEM micrograph indicate that Vita alpha ceramic fused to alumina glass composite, and no crack between the combination interface.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Alumina-glass composite can match to the Vita alpha ceramic fairly.
