Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility on recycling of IPS-Empress ceramic for the wide use of IPS-Empress ceramic in prosthodontic treatment. The frexure strength of first pressed, second pressed, and third pressed IPS-Empress ceramic were measured and compared. There was no ststistical difference among three groups, and the result of this study implied the recycled IPS-Empress ceramic has enough frexure strength for clinical use.
