Sliding Contact Fatigue Damage in Layered Ceramic Structures
Journal of Dental Research , 10/30/07
Kim, J-W, et al. - Porcelain-veneered restorations often chip and fracture from repeated occlusal loading, making fatigue studies relevant. Most fatigue studies are limited to uni-axial loading without sliding motion. We hypothesized that bi-axial loading (contact-load-slide-liftoff, simulating a masticatory cycle), as compared with uni-axial loading, accelerates the fatigue of layered ceramics
