Subcritical Crack Growth Velocities (v-K Curves) of Dental Bioceramics
Abstract:
In this study the subcritical crack growth (SCG) behaviors of five dental bioceramics were evaluated in order to plot the crack growth velocity versus stress intensity factor (v-K) curves. Disc-shaped samples of two sintered porcelains, two glass-ceramics, and a glass-infiltrated ceramic composite were prepared and tested in artificial saliva using a biaxial flexure jig. The SCG parameters were evaluated by the dynamic fatigue test using five constant stress-rates and in an inert condition. Among the tested materials, the lithium disilicate glass-ceramic showed the highest susceptibility to strength degradation by SCG, whereas the glass infiltrated alumina composite showed the lowest susceptibility. The v-K curves showed that the SCG susceptibility significantly affects the crack growth velocity of the different bioceramics.
