This work investigated the variation in fracture strength and toughness of stoichiometric
lithium disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramics as a function of crystal size (d) and crystallized …

Chemical and mechanical fatigue degradation in ceramic materials is generally
inconspicuous yet ubiquitous, to the effect that clinical fractures still consist of the main …

Ceramic dental restorative materials have growing popularity, albeit their brittle and
stochastic nature are acknowledged shortcomings that impact the prosthesis lifespan. The …

Abstract The Single-Edge-Precracked-Beam (SEPB) method for the testing of fracture
toughness (K Ic) of ceramic materials is a variation of the Single-Edge-Cracked-Beam …

Among the several methods available for the measurement of the fracture toughness (KIc),
the surface‐crack‐in‐flexure (SCF) has the advantages of being based on an easy‐to …

This study investigates a novel non-stoichiometric lithia-silica glass-ceramic (Bioactive LD)
designed for bone tissue engineering applications. Incorporating SiO 2–Li 2 O–CaO–P 2 O …

The realization that the use of strength tests as a means to probe the bonding performance
of adhesive systems to dental restorative materials suffers from inherent drawbacks has …

Os vidros 5BaO. 8SiO2 (B5S8) e Li2O. 2SiO2 (LS2) são um dos poucos vidros este-
quiométricos que nucleiam homogeneamente no volume. O (B5S8) é um sistema pouco …
