[QUOTE="BobCDT, post: 248922, member: 3119"] Just about all the HT materials (1100 MPh) loose 50% of their flexural strength over 5 years. That said the new Anterior materials (about 600 MPh) made form Zepex Smile, Tosoh powder loose virtually no strength over time. This is one of the only ceramic materials in our industry that has no degradation or loss of strength over time. lithium disilicate, feldspathic, lucite ceramics all loose strength. Most are in the 30% + range. John, you are correct, five years form now all the full arch screw retained zirconia cases will have a decreased flexural strength of about 500-600 MPa. We will get to do many all over again. [/QUOTE]
