Aesthetic and functional excellence in dental prosthetic rehabilitation has been achieved with the increase of advanced ceramics in dentistry. Processing techniques such as heat press injection moulding and CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer aided manufacturing) impart decreased porosity to the microstructure, as well as simplicity and automation of the process. In order to examine the machining surface finish of a leucite glass-ceramic produced using Brazilian raw materials, heat-pressed performs were obtained. These preforms had dimensions close to those of the final crown infrastructure in order to allow fast and easy final matching and finish-milling by using a Brazilian milling machine (MTC Robotica), supported by DentMILL (SEACAM) CAM software. As a control and reference manufacturing process, four crown infrastructures were milled by using CEREC®-3 machine. Aimed at achieving a machinable microstruture, two different heating schedule were tested for ceramizing the feldsphatic glass ingots. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), nanoindentation test and fracture toughness measurement by indentation method were used as characterization methods. Comparison of the properties of the experimental material with those published by other investigator on similar commercial materials conducted to the conclusion that it is a machinable glass-ceramic with acceptable features for application in dental prosthetic rehabilitation. Preforms milling simulation using MTC Robotica machine conducted to the prediction of very long milling time (18h), even considering preforms possessing dimensions similar to those of the desired milling end product, a manufacturing time much greater than those found in commercial CAD/CAM dental milling machines.
