Zirconia-based dental materials are extensively used in clinical practice due to their tooth-
like appearance, biofunctionality, biocompatibility, and affordability. However, premature …

Objectives A systematic review of in vitro studies was conducted to assess the effect of
thermal treatments on flexural strength or critical load to failure of porcelain-veneered …

Objectives In-vivo experimental techniques to understand the biomechanical behavior of a
restored tooth, under varying oral conditions, is very limited because of the invasive nature …

The main problem of porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) dental restorations is chipping and
delamination of veneering porcelain owing to the development of deleterious residual …

Objective To understand the stress development in porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) and
porcelain-veneered lithium disilicate (PVLD) crowns with different veneer/core thickness …

Porcelain-veneered zirconia (PVZ) are one of the popular choice for crown restorations.
Veneer layer of these dental restorations, however, is susceptible to chipping and …

The influence of the interface morphology of the SiC transition layer, including the shape,
roughness and curvature, on the residual stresses of plasma sprayed ZrC-based coatings …

Objectives Restored teeth undergo more damage than intact teeth. Therefore, the scientific
investigation of their mechanical and physical behaviour under varying oral conditions is …

Objective Porcelain fused to zirconia (PFZ) restorations are widely used in prosthetic
dentistry. However, their tendency to delaminate along the P/Z interface remains a practical …

Objective This study evaluated the effect of dwell time (conventional or extended) and
cooling protocol (fast or slow) of self-glaze firings on the mechanical (flexural strength and …
