Fracture modelling of zirconia crowns in dental implant systems using XFEM, phase-field methods, and Weibull statistics.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a continuum-scale computational workflow for assessing fracture behaviour of zirconia crowns in dental implant systems under ISO 14801 loading conditions. METHODS A three-dimensional finite element model of a Matrix multi-level implant system was developed. Global elastic analys...
