(3)

A

Enhanced esthetics due to the absence of metal
and improved light transmission.
-Looks like a tooth!
-Most beneficial for teeth with normally colored

Q

Ceramics are brittle
Griffith flaws
-A.A. Griffith (1921) suggested that the low fracture strength of glass is
due to the presence of

A

microscopic flaws in the bulk material. Surface
flaws act as stress initiators and cause widening and propagation of
microcracks through the ceramic material.

Crack propagation

A

(why ceramics fail at lower than
expected stress)
-Crack will propagate through material, or until a particle
is met which stops the crack growth.

Q

Stress Corrosion

A

-Strength is reduced in moist environment.
-Stress-dependent chemical reaction between water
vapor and crack tip, causing crack growth and
fracture with comparatively little occlusal loading
(over long periods).

strength:
(2)

A

-The movement of the cement into the
