Features of fracture of prosthetic tooth-endocrown constructions by means of acoustic emission analysis

Prosthetic treatment of damaged teeth aims at restoring all their parameters, both esthetic and functional. Denture technologies are constantly developing and at present there are numerous means for an effective, complete or partial, restoration of lost tooth crowns. Pissis [1] proposed the endocrowns as an alternative crown for molars, depending on the availability of the remaining tooth structure. The term ‘endocrown’ was first defined by Bindl and Mörmann [2] as a monolithic ceramic bonded construction fixed to the tooth structure by adhesive material.
