Fatigue and wear of dental materials.
Fatigue and wear are two of the many basic physical processes which contribute to the degradation of restorative materials. The mechanisms of these are discussed in the context of general engineering and the dental environment. More work is required to define the processes involved in intraoral degradation of materials.
