Machinable mica based glass ceramic materials with fluorophlogopite as the main crystalline phase in the system [K.sub.2]O-[B.sub.2][O.sub.3]-[Al.sub.2][O.sub.3]-Si[O.sub.2]-MgO-F becomes the candidate material for the CAD-CAM dental restoration purpose. In our study, critical heat treatment experiments on this system in the varying temperature range of 1000[degrees]-1120[degrees]C with 40[degrees]C temperature interval for 4 hrs constant soaking time were carried out. Additionally...
