Description
Summary:•Fracture resistance of PICN VE was positively associated with specimen thicknesses.•0.8 mm PICN VE on stiff substrate could withstand static heavy force 800 N loading.•2.0 mm PICN VE on stiff substrate could withstand 800 N sliding motion.•PICN VE on soft substrate was not recommended for clinical use in bruxism. To determine the minimum thickness required for a monolithic hybrid ceramic crown on different substrates (soft vs stiff) used in posterior dentition for bruxism. 80 polymer-infiltrated ceramic networks Vita Enamic (PICN VE) disc specimens with four different occlusal thicknesses (0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 mm), were produced using a computer-aided design/manufacturing system, and cemented on a stiff (zirconia) or soft (polyamide) substrate of 4-mm thickness. The ten specimens, in soft or stiff groups, were subjected to compressive loading by a MTS machine until fracture or maximum load (4500 N) was reached. The unbroken specimens were examined using optical coherence tomography. Eight axisymmetric finite element models and eight 3D models comprising the four different occlusal thicknesses and two substrates under different vertical loads and sliding movements were constructed. The maximum principal stress was selected to evaluate the stress distribution in this study. The fracture resistance of the specimens was significantly different between the two substrates (P
