What all-ceramic porcelain system is strongest (in terms of flexural strength)?
a. Traditional powder slurry ceramics
b. Infiltrated ceramics /slip-cast (In-Ceram)
c. Heat pressed ceramics (Empress)
d. Castable glass ceramics (Dicor)

Approximate flexural strength ranges for different
ceramic systems (these vary according to tooth type position):
Porcelain fused to metal 300-500+ MPa (for
comparison purposes)
Traditional slurry 80-140 MPa Infiltrated (slip cast) 450-600
MPa
Heat pressed 140-180 MPa Castable 120 MPa Machinable
120-230 MPa
