Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the fracture-behavior of monolithic crowns made of lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent; IniBal LiSi Block, GC Dental) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Celtra Duo, DeguDent; VITA Zahnfabrik) materials before and after cyclic fatigue aging.
Materials and methods: Four groups (n = 22/group) of CAD/CAM fabricated upper incisor crowns were produced. All crowns were luted on metal dies with an adhesive dual-cure resin cement (G-CEM LinkForce, GC Dental). Half of the crowns in each group (n = 11) were statically loaded until fracture, without aging. The remaining crowns were subjected to cyclic fatigue aging for 120,000 cycles (Fmax = 220 N) and then loaded statically until fracture. The fractured models were then visually examined. Scanning electron microsopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to evaluate the microstructure of CAD/CAM ceramic materials. The data were statistically analyzed with two-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD test (α = .05).
Results: Before cyclic aging, there was no statistically significant difference in load-bearing capacity among the four groups (P = .371). After cyclic aging, load-bearing capacity significantly decreased for all groups (P = .000). While the e.max CAD blocks had significantly higher load-bearing capacity (1061 ± 94 N) than both monolithic ceramic crowns (load-bearing capacities of the groups) (P < .05), no significant difference was obtained with the Initial LiSi Block group (920 ± 140 N) (P = .061).
Conclusions: The mechanical performance of monolithic ceramic crowns fabricated from lithium disilicate was befer than zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate after cyclic fatigue aging. Int J Prosthodont 2023;36:e29-e37.

Prosthodontics demands a clinical research emphasis on patient- and dentist-mediated concerns in the management of oral rehabilitation needs. It is about making and implementing the best clinical decisions to enhance patients'' quality of life via applied biologic architecture - a role that far exceeds that of traditional prosthetic dentistry, with its emphasis on materials and techniques. The International Journal of Prosthodontics is dedicated to exploring and developing this conceptual shift in the role of today''s prosthodontist, clinician, and educator alike. The editorial board is composed of a distinguished team of leading international scholars.
