Title: On the in vitro fracture toughness of human dentin

Journal Article · · Journal of Biomedical Materials Research
OSTI ID:837725

The in vitro fracture toughness of human dention has been reported to be of the order of 3 MPa sqrt m. This result, however is based on a single study for a single orientation, and furthermore involves notched, rather than fatigue precracked, test samples.
