Numerous researches on development and evaluation for adhesion, metal, ceramics, composite materials, and denture materials have been carried out in recent dental materials researches. Of these researches, a remarkable progress has been in adhesive technologies related to dental ceramic materials. Dental ceramics, currently, classified in two categories: silicate ceramics and oxide ceramics. As compared with Zirconia ceramics (oxide ceramics) which exhibit notable mechanical and physical properties, lithium disilicate ceramics (silicate ceramics) show the clinically acceptable properties, dimensional accuracy and esthetical advantages in transparency and natural appearance.
