“…For LSFCO materials, there was no slow crack growth study reported in the literature. As a reference, our n value is substantially lower than those of reported high‐purity dense alumina ( n ∼60) 24–26 . It is reasonable to suspect that surface defects and pores of the LSFCO are responsible for the low n value as cracks initiated from the surface and propagated preferentially along the weakest interfaces that are influenced by the residual stresses.…”

“…23 This fluoride-related alumina damage could be more pronounced and exaggerated with the utilization of APF, acidic fluoride agent, for 8 hours. [31][32][33][34] In the present study the fracture site was located either in the sliding ligature cap or at the ears of the brackets. The results of FL were in harmony with those of Ra.…”

“…This could be explained by immersion of brackets in acidic environment (APF) for long period (8hours) could lead to dramatic surface flaws and significant increase in alumina crack growth. 31,34 Crack or imperfections allow for local concentration of the stresses and ceramic bracket fracture. [22][23][24] However, as with any in vitro investigation, the protocol can not exactly simulate clinical situations.…”

“…Because acidic environments cause increased alumina crack growth as compared with crack growth in water, 32 it was expected that there might be more fluoride-related alumina damage with an acidic fluoride agent. However, the monocrystalline bracket exhibited similar decreases in fracture strength with both the neutral and APF agents.…”
