Examples
-
In another clinical study, single crowns ground out of pre-crystallized lithium-disilicate blanks supported by one-piece zirconium dioxide implants showed a 100% survival after 3 years.
Academic text (2016) -
The chipping rate in the present study was very high in the first 5-year period, but within the expected low range typical for lithium-disilicate restorations in the second 5-year period of function.
Academic text (2016) -
The survival probability of all lithium-disilicate applications would be the same.
Academic text (2016) -

Etymology
Disilicate combines the prefix di- 'two' and silicate, from silica 'sand' or 'flint', so a disilicate is a compound made of two silicate groups joined together.
