Purpose The aim of this study was to measure the mechanical properties and fatigue
behavior of three contemporary used dental ceramics, zirconia Cercon®(ZC), lithium …

The availability of zirconium dioxide (zirconia) ceramics in dentistry has expanded the range
of designs and applications for all-ceramic restorations and increased its popularity. This …

Purpose The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fracture resistance (FR), flexural
strength (FS), and shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia framework material veneered with …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the specimen design on the flexural strength (σf) and
failure mode of ceramic structures, testing the hypothesis that the ceramic material under …

Diamond grinding used in dental adjustment of high-strength zirconia-reinforced lithium
silicate glass ceramic (ZLS) and lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LDGC) is challenging in …

Shear bond strength (SBS) testing is a commonly used method for evaluating different
dental adhesive systems. Failure mode analysis provides valuable information for better …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of the convergence angle of tooth preparation on
the fracture load of Y-TZP-based ceramic (YZ–Vita YZ) substructure (SB) veneered with a …

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of various surface
treatments (ST) on the shear bond strength of resin composite to three bilayer dental …

Statement of problem Titanium implants have been successfully used to support fixed dental
prostheses. Zirconia implants have been suggested as support for crowns, but information …

Introduction: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has low surface energy and high resistance to
chemical surface treatments. Therefore, different surface treatments such as laser …
