Abstract
Statement of problem. Laser sintering devices have been increasingly used to fabricate the metal frameworks of metal-ceramic restorations. In the fabrication process, the sintering layer thickness is an important parameter; however, information on how it may affect the flexural strength of metal frameworks remains limited.
