“…Clinically, an appropriate strength characteristics is an important aspect of dental restoration. According to previous studies, the long-term strength properties of all-ceramic restorations depend upon several factors, such as fabrication type [14][15][16][17] , laboratory procedures [18][19][20][21] , core or veneer thickness 4,7,22) , fatique resistance 23) , luting procedure 24,25) , and aging 11,14,[26][27][28] . Thus, it is important to determine the mechanical behavior of this category of dental materials in vitro.…”
