Schematic diagram of crack geometry for uni-axial cyclic contact loading with a WC spherical indenter (r = 3.18 mm) on monolithic Y-TZP ceramic bonded to dentin-like composite. (a) Formation of deep penetrating cone crack on load application site. (b) Formation of flexural radial crack on cementation surface site.
