The fracture resistance of dental materials.
A novel test procedure was developed that provides the basis for a standard plain strain fracture toughness test to evaluate fracture resistance of resin-based materials. This procedure utilizes a notched disc specimen. Using this technique, a new concept of Torque to initiate fracture (T)' was suggested. Also, fracture resistance can be assessed by means of critical stress intensity factor (K[IC]). Using this method, the fracture resistance of direct restorative materials, resin-based inlay/onlays and luting cements can be evaluated.
