Effect of Thermomechanical and Static Loading on the Load to Fracture of Metal‐Ceramic, Monolithic, and Veneered Zirconia Posterior Fixed Partial Dentures

Abstract

Monolithic zirconia restorations provided the highest load to fracture values among the zirconia groups tested; however, the results indicate that they must be used in the oral environment with caution, because their load to fracture was influenced by the aging simulation.
