Is CeraSys™ sufficiently strong for posterior bridges?
Posterior applications are possible for the first time with Zirconia frameworks because their strengths exceed the maximum load (600 N) several times. Internal and external investigations confirm that 3-unit bridges after artificial ageing (simulation of 5 years carrying time) in the mastication simulator (1.2 million cycles) with simultaneous thermal cycling (10.000 x 5°-55°C) have a strength of 1.450 N to 1.200 N for 3- or 4-unit bridges, respectively.
