A glass comprises silicon dioxide (60-65 wt.%) potassium oxide (K 2O) (15-19 wt.%) aluminum oxide (6-10.5 wt.%) lithium oxide (Li 2O) (1.8-2.2 wt.%) divalent oxide(s) (2.5-8.5 wt.%) from oxides of calcium, magnesium, strontium or zinc and further oxides (1.5-7 wt.%) which are oxide(s) from boron, zirconium, cerium or yttrium. A glass comprises silicon dioxide (SiO 2) (60-65 wt.%) potassium oxide (K 2O) (15-19 wt.%) aluminum oxide (Al 2O 3) (6-10.5 wt.%) lithium oxide (Li 2O) (1.8-2.2 wt.%) Me 2>O (2.5-8.5 wt.%) and further oxides (1.5-7 wt.%). Me 2>O : divalent oxide(s) from oxides of Ca, Mg, Sr or Zn and further oxides : oxide(s) from B, Zr, Ce or Y. Independent claims are included for: (1) a glazing material for dental restorations, comprising the glass (2) a combination of the glazing material and a dental restoration, where the dental restoration is a bridge, a crown, an inlay, an onlay, a veneer, a cap, and their part and (3) a method of applying a glaze onto the dental restoration, comprising applying the glass onto the dental restoration and thermally treating the dental restoration and the applied glass in a manner which transforms the glass into the glaze that adheres firmly to the restoration.
