Abstract

Statement of problem. Laser sintering has become a common manufacturing technique in the fabrication of metal-ceramic restorations. The layer thickness of the sintering process may affect the surface morphology and hence the porcelain bond strength. However, limited information is available on the effect of layer thickness on porcelain bond strength.
