%X the appeal of ceramics as structural dental materials is based on their light weight, high hardness values, chemical inertness, and anticipated unique tribological characteristics. a major goal of current ceramic research and development is to produce tough, strong ceramics that can provide reliable performance in dental applications. quantifying microstructural parameters is important to develop structure/property relationships. quantitative microstructural analysis provides an association among the constitution, physical properties, and structural characteristics of materials. structural reliability of dental ceramics is a major factor in the clinical success of ceramic restorations. complex stress distributions are present in most practical conditions and strength data alone cannot be directly extrapolated to predict structural performance.
