Dental Ceramics: Fracture Mechanics and Engineering Design

An authoritative overview of dental ceramics, focusing on the intersection of materials science, fracture mechanics, and engineering design. The authors emphasize a reverse engineering approach, where clinical failures are analyzed to improve the structural integrity and longevity of dental restorations. Key sections detail the chemical composition and crystallization kinetics of modern materials, specifically comparing lithium-based glass-ceramics and zirconium dioxide. By bridging laboratory research with forensic fractography, the text guides professionals in selecting materials that balance biocompatibility, aesthetics, and mechanical resistance. Ultimately, it serves as a comprehensive resource for optimizing the design of crowns, bridges, and implants to withstand the unique stresses of the intraoral environment.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Dental-Ceramics-Fracture-Mechanics-Engineering/dp/303094686X?&linkCode=ll2&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=05ae0683674ec8dc1916b55e30c80388&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
