Morphologic Characterization of Ceramic-Ceramic Dental Systems Failure

Abstract:

Sintered ceramics and ceramic glasses are frequently used as biomaterials for dental restorations, usually for inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns or bridges. In this study we analyzed several types of ceramic-ceramic type prosthetic restorations in order to assess the types of defects that can lead to their failure. The research aim is to morphologically identify by scanning electron microscopy the main types of defects that lead to failure over time of ceramic-ceramic prostheses type. The type of failure registered were fracture of plating material (feldspatic porcelain) and fracture of entire structure (zirconia and feldspatic porcelain).
