ADVANCES IN STRENGTH AND SUSTAINABILITY OF DENTAL CERAMIC RESTORATIONS

Abstract

Everyone including dentists, dental scientists, technicians, and patients need to have some knowledge of physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of dental materials to be able to understand their behavior to effectively utilize and properly maintain them. Residual stresses developed in dental ceramics restorations during firing and cooling, coupled with functional loads of biting forces and other loads can result in development of microcracks in these dental restorations and can cause premature failure. This study will focus on advances in biomechanical and materials engineering in the field of dental materials and dental biomechanics specifically thermal stresses in ceramics-based dental restorations and methods of fabrications of dental restorations using CAD and 3D printers, milling machines, and CAD and strengthening of these associated materials. Also, the results of strengthening of dental ceramic materials as well as experimental and analytical methods performed to determine the strength of various samples made at the engineering laboratory at Valdosta State University will be presented.
