To determine the Weibull modulus m, the characteristic strength σ0,the subcritical crack growth (SCG) parameters (n &A*) as well as the lifetime durability of three dental ceramic materials in water: a polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (Zenostar MT O, YSZ, Ivoclar Vivadent/Wieland, Germany), a lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max CAD, LD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein), and a zirconia-containing lithium silicate glass ceramic (Celtra Duo, ZLS, Dentsply Sirona Inc, USA). 30 specimens (Ø12 mm × 0.9 mm thickness) of each material were fabricated. The biaxial ring-on-ring bending tests at four stress rates σ˙ (100, 10, 1, 0.1 MPa/s) were performed in water for all three ceramics. The results were used to determine the Weibull and SCG parameters, and to plot the Strength-Probability-Time (SPT) diagram. YSZ showed the highest m (12.5) and highest σ0 (542 MPa), while the values for the glass ceramic materials were lower: for LD m = 4.7, σ0 = 407 MPa, and for ZLS m = 2.7, σ0 = 279 MPa. The n for YSZ, LD and ZLS in water were 31.1, 13.7 and 16.6, respectively. The strength of YSZ decreased by 50% within a simulated period of 10 years, and for the glass ceramic materials the decrease was up to 80%. Determining the Weibull and SCG parameters from the constant stress rate testing is an efficient methodology for ranking materials in terms of durability and longevity.

D002516 Ceramics Products made by baking or firing nonmetallic minerals (clay and similar materials). In making dental restorations or parts of restorations the material is fused porcelain. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed & Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed) Ceramic
D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
