A zirconia ceramic restoration develops a surface crack under occlusal loading. Explain why crack propagation is self-limiting in this material compared to alumina.
Select the correct answer
A.
Zirconia has a higher elastic modulus than alumina, absorbing more energy before fracture propagation occurs
1
B.
The cubic crystal structure of zirconia at room temperature provides inherent resistance to crack tip stress concentration
2
C.
Tensile stress at the crack tip triggers a tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation, inducing compressive stresses that oppose further crack advance
3
D.
Zirconia undergoes plastic deformation at the crack tip, dissipating energy through dislocation movement analogous to metallic alloys
4
E.
Grain boundary silica phases in zirconia deflect cracks along low-energy pathways, reducing the effective stress intensity factor
