Abstract :
Dental ceramics are widely used in dentistry. Despite all the advantages they provide for dental treatments, their sintering process is time and energy consuming. Microwave sintering may represent an alternative not only to reduce processing times for practitioners and patients but also improve mechanical properties of the material.
