Abstract
In the present study, the leucite content of two different veneering porcel ains and one pressable ceramic have been determined by X-ray diffraction af ter establishing a standard, using artificial leucite. The results are dire ctly linked to the microstructure and mechanical properties of the material s. The most homogeneous glass-ceramic exhibits the highest relative leucite content and the highest fracture strength. (C) 2000 Kluwer Academic Publis hers.
