Since lithium disilicate is considered one of the most reliable glass-ceramic materials for dental
prostheses, it is very crucial to study the effect of the chemical composition on the crystallization
behavior and therefore the microstructure and mechanical properties. Four different compositions in
the lithium silicate binary system with varied SiO2 content of hypo-stoichiometric ~ 60, 63
