Objective: This study examines the impact of re-pressing four different glass ceramic materials on the fracture resistance (FR) of single crowns. Material and Methods: Fifty-six heat-pressed crowns were fabricated from four glass ceramic materials. Crowns were divided into 4 groups (n=14): lithium disilicate IPS Emax press LDS1, lithium disilicate LiSi press LDS2, zirconia reinforced lithium silicate Celtra press ZLS, and zirconia reinforced lithium disilicate Vita Ambria ZLDS. Two subgroups (n=7) were created for each group. Group (P) crowns were made from fresh ingots. Group (R) crowns were made from re-pressed buttons. Samples were then subjected to fracture resistance (FR). Failure load was indicated by an audible crack and verified by a dramatic decline in the load-deflection curve, as recorded using computer software. The load under which crowns fractured was ultimately recorded in Newtons (N). The properties of the glass ceramic crowns were characterized before and after re-pressing by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX). Results: Numerical data were tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk statistical tests. The results indicated that ceramic type had a significant effect on FR (p-value < 0.001). The thermal technique used also had a significant effect on FR (p-value = 0.036). Group LDS1 showed the highest FR (1765.8N), while Group ZLDS showed the lowest FR (1247N). When comparing (P) to (R) groups, XRD revealed no variation in the primary crystalline structure. EDAX revealed no difference in chemical makeup between groups. Conclusion: Re-pressing improves the studied glass ceramics crowns’ resistance to fracture.
