Purpose: To apply fracture mechanics methodology to determine the interfacial fracture toughness of the interfaces present in "CAD-on" crowns consisting of CAD/CAM milled lithium disilicate veneers glass-fused to CAD/CAM milled yttrium oxide stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal framework.
Materials And Methods: The notchless triangular prism specimen fracture toughness test was used to determine interfacial fracture toughness. Four groups, each consisting of (6 × 6 × 6 × 12) mm prisms (n = 22), were produced.
