Fatigue failure load and finite element analysis of multilayer ceramic restorations

Ceramic materials have been widely used in restorative treatments due to excellent qualities as such superior aesthetics, biocompatibility, chemical stability, wear resistance, low biofilm adhesion and color stability [1]. In addition, the constant optimization of its microstructure and physical properties has allowed its use in areas of great masticatory effort such as posterior regions [2]. Regardless of the type of ceramic material used, clinical researches point to an estimated survival rate of around 90% after 5years [3 –7].
