Reinforcement of porcelain crowns with silicon carbide fibers.
A method to reinforce dental porcelain with silicon carbide fibers was presented. The results indicated that an increase in fracture strength is possible with dental porcelain containing silicon carbide fibers. However, further investigations are needed to create a practical method for strengthening porcelain jacket crowns.
