Impact of Preparation Design, Substrate Elasticity, and Prolonged Aqueous Ageing on the Mechanical Integrity of Monolithic Zirconia Restorations Read Article (PDF)
Introduction: The paradigm of minimally invasive dentistry has driven the demand for conservative tooth preparations. While monolithic zirconia is advocated for reduced-thickness restorations, the interactive effects of crown thickness, abutment stiffness, luting agent, and long-term aqueous aging on its mechanical sta...
