Abstract
Thirty-three crowns of similar size and shape were constructed to fit a standard brass die. Eleven crowns were manufactured from each of the following groups of materials: metal-ceramic, aluminous porcelain and a new all-ceramic system based on a glass infiltrated alumina coping. The overall fitting accuracy of each crown was determined using a low viscosity silicone paste, prior to cementation onto brass dies with zinc phosphate cement. The average film thickness was 95,154 and 123 pin respectively. Each cemented crown was loaded to fracture. The mean load to failure of the glass infiltrated alumina crowns was significantly greater than that of the aluminous porcelain jacket crowns ( P < 0.0001), but not significantly different from the metal-ceramic crowns.
