Metal-ceramics (MC) are one of the oldest dental restorative systems, which are considered to be the gold standard for full crown restoration. Porcelain-veneered lithium disilicate (PVLD), on the other hand, are newer material systems that have shown high survival rate in clinical follow-ups but needs to be studied more. This study compares the stresses developed in the single crowns made from newer PVLD system against those with MC configuration. For this comparison, influence of the layer thickness and cooling rates is also taken into consideration. An experimentally validated viscoelastic finite element model (VFEM) has been developed to predict the stress profile in these systems. Three-dimensional rotationally symmetric crowns were analyzed using this validated model for both material systems, three veneer to core thickness ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2), and two cooling rates: slow cooling at 1.74E-5 W/mm 2(∼30 K/min) and fast cooling at 1.74E-4 W/mm 2(∼300 K/min). PVLD showed lower values of transient and residual stresses than MC. The maximum tensile residual stresses in MC systems were observed in the cusp area, whereas those in PVLD were located in the central fossa. With the reduction in veneer layer, there was reduction in residual stress in MC; however, the veneer thickness had little to no effect in PVLD. The effect of cooling rate was also evident as slow cooling resulted in lower residual and tensile stresses for both material systems.
