Book cover Dental Ceramics

Abstract

Orthodontic appliances and dental ceramics are installed within the oral cavity and this environment presents a series of external factors that can influence the mechanical and physical properties of these devices. The environment of the oral cavity aggravates the low tensile strength of dental ceramics.
