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

In last years the use of zirconia in dentistry has become very popular. Unfortunately, the
clinical indications for a dental use of zirconia are not completely clear yet, neither are their …

Objectives To provide background information and guidance as to how to use fractography
accurately, a powerful tool for failure analysis of dental ceramic structures. Methods An …

Objectives The first objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate zirconia-based
restorations (ZBR). The second was to correlate failures with clinical parameters and to …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to predict the fracture resistance of an
endodontically treated first maxillary molar with diverse access cavities using the extended …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the collective influence of material properties and
design parameters on the fracture behavior of monolithic dental crowns. Methods Three …

Objectives In this brief and selective overview, basic factors contributing to aqueous induced
dissolution, phase changes of zirconia and mechanical strength degradation of dental …

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 …

Fracture is one of the most common failure modes in brittle materials. It can drastically
decrease material integrity and structural strength. To address this issue, we propose a level …

Background and objective The fibula free flap (FFF) has been extensively used to repair
large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The reconstruction plate plays a …
