Mechanical Behavior of Ceramic Monolithic Systems With Different Thicknesses.

Objectives: This study assessed the fully stabilized zirconia (FSZ) Prettau Anterior, the partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) Prettau, and the lithium disilicate IPS e.max CAD (LD) through microstructural and mechanical characterization and effect of thickness on fracture load of the ceramics.

Methods And Materials: Disk-shaped specimens (12 mm diameter and 1.
