The enamel of human teeth is generally regarded as a brittle material with low fracture toughness. Consequently, the contributions of this tissue in resisting tooth fracture and the importance of its complex microstructure have been largely overlooked. The primary objective of this dissertation is to characterize the role of enamel's microstructure and degree of decussation on the fracture behavior of human enamel. The importance of the protein content and aging on the fracture toughness of enamel were also explored. Incremental crack growth in sections of human enamel was achieved using a special inset Compact Tension (CT) specimen configuration. Crack extension was achieved in two orthogonal directions, i.e. longitudinal and transverse to the prism axes. Fracture surfaces and the path of crack growth path were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the fundamental mechanisms of crack growth extension. Furthermore, a hybrid approach was adopted to quantify the contribution of toughening mechanisms to the overall toughness.

520 $a The enamel of human teeth is generally regarded as a brittle material with low fracture toughness. Consequently, the contributions of this tissue in resisting tooth fracture and the importance of its complex microstructure have been largely overlooked. The primary objective of this dissertation is to characterize the role of enamel's microstructure and degree of decussation on the fracture behavior of human enamel. The importance of the protein content and aging on the fracture toughness of enamel were also explored. Incremental crack growth in sections of human enamel was achieved using a special inset Compact Tension (CT) specimen configuration. Crack extension was achieved in two orthogonal directions, i.e. longitudinal and transverse to the prism axes. Fracture surfaces and the path of crack growth path were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the fundamental mechanisms of crack growth extension. Furthermore, a hybrid approach was adopted to quantify the contribution of toughening mechanisms to the overall toughness.
520 $a Results of this investigations showed that human enamel exhibits rising R-curve for both directions of crack extension. Cracks extending transverse to the rods in the outer enamel achieved lower rise in toughness with crack extension, and significantly lower toughness (1.23 +/- 0.20 MPa·m 0.5) than in the inner enamel (1.96 +/- 0.28 MPa· 0.5) and in the longitudinal direction (2.01 +/- 0.21 MPa· 0.5). The crack growth resistance exhibited both anisotropy and inhomogeneity, which arise from the complex hierarchical microstructure and the decussated prism structure. Decussation causes deflection of cracks extending from the enamel surface inwards, and facilitates a continuation of transverse crack extension within the outer enamel. This process dissipates fracture energy and averts cracks from extending toward the dentin and vital pulp.
520 $a This study is the first to investigate the importance of proteins and the effect of aging on the fracture resistance of this highly mineralized tissue. Results showed that although the organic content is small, it plays an important role in the toughness of enamel. The deproteinized enamel underwent a significant reduction in the crack growth resistance with respect to proteinized control, with fracture toughness in the longitudinal (1.24 +/- 0.24 MPa· 0.5) and transverse directions (0.95 +/- 0.20 MPa· 0.5) approximately 40% lower than the control. Removal of the proteins also resulted in a loss of anisotropy, which reduces enamel's unique ability to invoke crack deflection. Additionally, results showed that aging results in a significant reduction in the fracture toughness. In the longitudinal direction the fracture toughness of old enamel was 1.38 +/- 0.35 MPa· 0.5, which is more than 30% lower than that of the control.
520 $a Microscopic observation of crack extension in the enamel specimens showed that crack growth toughening occurred by a combination of extrinsic toughening mechanism including crack bridging, crack deflection and crack bifurcation. The cohesive zone analysis confirmed that enamel is primarily extrinsically toughened, with intrinsic and extrinsic toughening contributing approximately 5% and 30% of the total energy to fracture in the decussated enamel, respectively. However, the contribution of the extrinsic toughening in the outer enamel was negligible. For the deproteinized and old enamel, the degree of extrinsic toughening was 75%, and 30% lower, respectively, in comparison to the young proteinized enamel. The degradation in extrinsic toughening was attributed to embrittlement of the bridging ligaments. The organic substance at the rod boundaries was found to be essential in the crack growth toughening of enamel through the formation of unbroken ligaments and crack bridging, microcracking along the rod boundaries and in the process of crack bifurcation. The effectiveness of these mechanisms is most dominant in the decussated enamel due to the higher organic content. Through these findings the present investigation provides new understanding on the fracture resistance of enamel, which is essential to advancements in the field of restorative dentistry, as well as in the design of new restorative and bio-inspired materials.
