Fracture strength of all-ceramic posterior inlay-retained fixed partial dentures
Wolfart, S., et al. - The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the quasi-static (QSFS) and fatigue fracture strength of all-ceramic resin-bonded three unit inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPDs) made from a heat-pressed lithium-disilicate based glass-ceramic (LDGC) and a CAD/CAM-manufactured yttrium-oxide partially stabilized zirconia framework (YPSZ)...Considering the maximum chewing forces in the molar region it seems clinically possible, to use YPSZ as a core material for IRFPDs with a connector size between 9 and 16 mm2 [more...]
