All-ceramic dental restorations have been widely applied in prosthodontics because of their aesthetic, biocompatible and inert properties. 1 Among the major shortcomings of brittle ceramics is ...

It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can cause serious ...
