fast fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle polymers. generally, crack growth in these polymers may occur under combined tensile-shear loading. however, the fracture test data reported previously for some dental restorative resins can not be predicted by using the available fracture criteria.in this paper, a modified fracture criterion is used for estimating the fracture load for...

BACKGROUND In the mid of 1980s, the cariostatic effect of fluoride ions on enamel caries had been demonstrated in many studies. The use of fluoride releasing dental restorative materials has seen increasing from many years for the specific purpose of leaching of fluoride into the surrounding tissues to inhibit secondary dental caries as well as prevention of caries in the newly erupted tooth. I...
