I would love to know where you got the studies on five year in-vitro flexural strength degredation on these new class 5 zirconia materials. Or lack there of from what you are saying.I would say 5-6 years. The 1100 MPa zirconia materials we are all using are all subject to about a 50% degradation in strength over five years leaving us with a much weaker restoration. This occurs slowly year after year until year five where the degradation bottoms out.
A little off subject, the new 600MPa Anterior materials have no degradation over time. Interestingly, both the Anterior and the older 1100 material after five years has similar strength.
That's impressive if true. Most have only been on the market for testing or limited release for 6-18 months.
Please share for all of us to read.
