Wear Characteristics of Dental Ceramic CAD/CAM Materials Opposing Various Dental Composite Resins.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the wear properties of opposed dental ceramic restorative CAD/CAM materials and several posterior direct restorative composite resins. Three kinds of dental ceramics CAD/CAM materials (monolithic zirconia, lithium disilicate, leucite) and four dental composite resins-that is, MI Gracefil, Gradia Direct P, Estelite Σ Quick, and Filtek Supreme Ultra-were used in this study. For each of the 12 groups (three ceramics × four composite resins), five each of a canine-shaped ceramic specimen and a cuboidal shape opposing composite resin were prepared.
