Influence of restoration thickness and dental bonding surface on the fracture resistance of full-coverage occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate ceramic

Nov 23, 2017 by in Dental Materials Comments Off on Influence of restoration thickness and dental bonding surface on the fracture resistance of full-coverage occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate ceramic

Highlights • Full-coverage occlusal veneers of different thicknesses were tested. • The lithium disilicate occlusal veneers were exposed to masticatory simulation. • Only specimens with the thickest dimension fully survived…
