Funded Activity Summary

Failure of Worn Tooth Structures. Layer structures are replete in biological systems, both natural and artificial. Issues concerning the lifetime of such systems are paramount to the quality of life and economic well being of our aging society. Our project will analyse damage in brittle layer systems that simulate natural teeth and dental crown structures that have been subject to wear. The project is connected to the dental community and international crown material manufacturers through a broader National Institutes of Health project in the USA. The improved understanding of damage mechanisms in natural teeth and crown designs resulting from this project will have impact worldwide, including Australia.
