lithium disilicate glass ceramic

One of the significant benefits of lithium disilicate glass ceramic is its minimal thermal expansion, which closely matches that of natural tooth structure. This property helps to prevent stress and potential damage to both the restoration and the underlying tooth during temperature changes in the oral environment, such as consuming hot or cold foods and beverages.
