“…Excessive wear of the opposing teeth can be prevented by the use of hybrid ceramics with lower hardness values instead of conventional feldspathic ceramics, particularly in adolescent patients [22]. Furthermore, hybrid ceramics are claimed to exhibit indentation creep responses similar to those of human enamel and superior stress redistribution [35].…”

“…Other components of enamel include remnants of the organic matrix and loosely bound water molecules. Interestingly, from the mechanical point of view, dental enamel was found to be a ''metalliclike'' deformable biocomposite, because enamel was found to have a similar stress-strain response to that of cast alloy and gold alloy, all of which showed work-hardening effect (He and Swain 2007). The crystals of biological apatite of enamel are much larger as evidenced by higher crystallinity (reflecting greater crystal size and perfection) demonstrated in their X-ray diffraction patterns than those of bone and dentine.…”

“…At the micro-scale, prisms are assembled into prism bands, which present different arrangements across the thickness of the enamel layer. These compositional and structural characteristics endow enamel special properties such as anisotropic elastic modulus, effective viscoelastic properties, much higher fracture toughness and stress-strain relationships more similar to metals than ceramics [228].…”
