Statement of problem With a number of zirconia ceramic materials currently available for
clinical use, an overview of the scientific literature on the adhesion methods and their …

Objectives Despite a huge number of published laboratory bonding studies on dental oxide
ceramics clinical long-term studies on resin bonded oxide ceramic restorations are rare. The …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The ceramic composition and microstructure surface of all-
ceramic restorations are important components of an effective bonding substrate. Both …

Controversy persists regarding the treatment planning criteria for esthetic restorations. This
article reviews the literature regarding the biocompatibility, marginal adaptation, color …

Background The zirconia polycrystalline nature avoids forming a permanent bond with the
tooth structure. Thus, creating a solid bond between zirconia and tooth is challenging. The …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Durable bonding to fixed prosthodontic restorations is
desirable; however, little information is available on the strength of the bond between …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: In contrast to gold crowns, in vitro determination of the retentive
strength of all-ceramic crowns is more difficult because components allowing connection to …

Objectives The aim of this present study was to investigate the effect of two surface
treatments, fatigue and thermocycling, on the microtensile bond strength of a newly …

The clinical longevity of indirect restorations made of ceramics or indirect composite resins
depends on their successful treatment and cementation. The cementation technique is …

OBJECTIVES: To compare and evaluate effects of CO2 laser and conventional surface
treatments on surface roughness and shear bond strengths of glass-infiltrated alumina …
