Abstract: Aesthetic glass-ceramics are widely employed dental materials, both in bulk form and as veneers. As they are highly brittle, the durability of these materials is limited by fracture and wear processes originated from contacts with opposing dentition and/or third-body particles during mastication and bruxism. This work investigates the resistance to fracture of commercial dental glass-ceramics under sliding contact, simulated by means of scratch tests. It finds that materials with relatively larger crystals (feldspathic and leucite) require a lower stress to fracture upon sliding than lithium silicates containing smaller (but more elongated) crystals, due to their larger defects and lower toughness. Results are analyzed as a function of material microstructure within the framework of Weibull theory and fracture mechanics. Implications for materials selection and development in prosthetic dentistry are briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
