Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this invitro study was to evaluate wear resistance and surface roughness of two hybrid ceramics in comparison to lithium disilicate glass ceramic before and after mechanical abrasion.Materials and methods: Thirty samples were divided according to material of construction into three groups, group (1): Lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max, n=10), group (2): Resin nanoceramic (Lava Ultimate, n=10), group (3): Polymer infiltrated ceramic (Vita Enamic, n=10). All samples were fabricated out of CAD CAM ceramic blocks, weighed and evaluated for surface roughness before and after mechanical wear.Results: Resin nanoceramic (Lava ultimate), showed significantly low weight loss and surface roughness change after mechanical wear than IPS e.max. The polymer infiltrated ceramic (Vita Enamic) showed significantly high surface roughness than Resin nanoceramic (Lava ultimate), while IPS e.max showed the highest weight loss and surface roughness change. Conclusions: Resin nanoceramics revealed highest mechanical wear resistance contributed by terms of weight loss and surface roughness change, while Lithium disilicate glass ceramic showed the least wear resistance.
