This study focuses on the characterization of the roughness of the fracture surfaces of spheroidal graphite irons of different matrix microstructures, generated under impact, bending and fatigue loading conditions. The ...

Statement of problem. The outcomes from load-to-failure tests may not be applicable to clinical situations. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the efficacy of load-to-failure tests in the ...

Purpose: This in vitro study investigated the null hypothesis that metal-free crowns induce fracture loads and mechanical behavior similar to metal ceramic systems and to study the fracture pattern of ceramic crowns under ...

Purpose: Double and multiple mandibular fractures are associated to high morbidity and functional damage. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of double unilateral, bilateral, and multiple mandibular ...

There are few informations about the influence of cusp inclination on the fracture strength of implant-supported crowns. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of cusp inclination and retention type on fracture load in ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of different rigid fixation methods in mandible angle fractures. Three different plates were tested: one 4-hole grid miniplate, one 8-hole curved grid miniplate, ...

Despite its high success rate, therapy with osseointegrated dental implants is not free of complications. Among the problems that may occur is fracture of implants, which, albeit a rare phenomenon, may lead to unpleasant ...
