Abstract
Due to their tendency to fracture, current composite for mulations are unsuitalbe for use in large stress-bearing direct posterior restorations that involve cusps. This study investigated the use of single-crystalline ceramic whiskers for the reinforcement of composite resins. The whisker-reinforced composite materials exhibited physical characteristics (ie, flexural strength, work-of-fracture, and elasticmodulus) that were significantly greater (PCitation
