Article Synopsis
- All-ceramic dental restorations offer great aesthetic properties and abrasion resistance similar to enamel, but their brittle structure makes them more susceptible to fractures.
- This in vitro study aimed to compare the fracture resistance and microhardness of four types of ceramics: two hot-pressed and two milled variations, using static loading tests and Vicker’s hardness testing, while applying hydrothermal aging to assess durability.
- Results showed that microhardness decreased with aging, and feldspathic hot-pressed glass-ceramics fractured at lower forces compared to milled zirconia-reinforced glass-ceramics, which managed higher fracture resistance.
