Key Points

This research aims to characterize the microstructure and assess the mechanical performance of pressed lithium disilicate glass ceramics.
Used biaxial flexural strength (BFS) tests to evaluate material strength.
Employed finite element analysis (FEA) to supplement BFS findings and interpret material behavior.
Conducted in vitro and in silico analyses to analyze performance metrics.
Vintage Prime exhibited higher fracture toughness compared to other tested materials.
BFS and FEA results aligned, validating FEA as a useful analysis tool for material behavior.

Implication

Demonstrates enhanced fracture toughness in pressed lithium disilicate ceramics, suggesting improved material performance for dental applications.

Abstract

Vintage Prime exhibited higher fracture toughness and m compared to the other materials. The BFS and FEA results were consistent, reinforcing the FEA value as a complementary analytical tool for interpreting material behavior under controlled conditions.
