Abstract
Hertzian indentation testing isproposed asa protocol forevaluating theroleofmicrostructure inthe mechanical response ofdental ceramics. A majoradvantage ofHertzian indentation overmoretraditional fracture- testing methodologies isthat itemulates theloading condi- tions experienced bydental restorations: Clinical variables (masticatory force andcuspal curvature) identify closely withHertzian variables (contact loadandsphere radius). In this...
