    • Feldspar converted to crystalline phase after firing
    • Flexural strength: 60-70 MPa
    • Fabrication methods: • Free hand layering: used for veneering metal or ceramic substructure • Machined: examples include VITABLOCS and Vident

    A- Feldspathic Porcelain

    • Traditional group of ceramics composed of clay, quartz, and feldspar

    III- Resin-Matrix Ceramics

    • Developed to simulate dentin's modulus of elasticity
    • Easier to mill and adjust than glass-matrix or polycrystalline ceramics
    • Facilitates repair or modification with composite resin
    • Examples: • Resin nano-ceramic: Lava Ultimate, 3M ESPE • Glass ceramic in a resin matrix • Zirconia-silica ceramic in a resin matrix
