A restorative material should have wear properties similar to those of enamel, have adequate wear resistance, and minimize the wear of the antagonist teeth. Enamel wear has been reported to depend on the surface roughness, microhardness, frictional resistance, strength, texture, microstructural characteristics (porosity and grain size), and surface treatment (glazed or polished) of the antagonist. 3,5,10,[12][13][14]26,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34] An understanding of the wear mechanism and its controlling factors is critical for predicting long-term success. 3,35 Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials are increasingly used because of their favorable properties, 2,36-38 and monolithic restorations have become popular. [38][39][40][41][42] The absence of a veneer material may reduce the wear of the material and that of the antagonist. 3,30,43 Additionally, the ceramic type may affect wear. 3,[43][44][45][46][47] Presented at Turkish Dental Association (TDB) 24th International Dental Congress. 28 September, Ankara, Turkey, as oral presentation (In vitro wear resistance and surface properties of CAD-CAM materials).
