abstract = "30 GHz microwaves, generated by a gyrotron, were used to crystallize a commercial lithium disilicate (LS2) based dental glass composition. The investigated commercial glass was related to the SiO2c-Li 2O-P2cO5-ZnO-Al2O3-K2O glass system. The chemical analysis of the glass was confirmed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technique. A one stage heat-treatment crystallization regime was used to crystallize the studied LS2 glass into glass-ceramic material using 30 GHz microwave processing. Characterization of the micro-wave crystallized glassceramic samples was performed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Microwave processing was successfully used to crystallize the LS2 commercial dental glass without hybrid heating.",
