Background Tooth-colored onlays and partial crowns for posterior teeth have been used
increasingly in clinics. However, whether onlays/partial crowns could perform as well as full …

The use of ceramic materials and the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing
(CAD/CAM) technology for the fabrication of complete-coverage restorations has …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and fatigue mechanical
behavior of an advanced lithium disilicate ceramic in comparison to lithium disilicate and …

Background Chairside systems are becoming more popular for fabricating full-ceramic
single restorations, but there is very little knowledge about the effect of the entire workflow …

Objectives To analyze retrospectively the clinical performance and survival of lithium
disilicate inlays, partial crowns and crowns placed by undergraduate students. Methods 250 …

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the surface roughness, translucency, fatigue
failure load (FFL), and number of cycles for fatigue failure (CFF) of a recently released lithia …

Purpose: This study systematically reviewed the literature to compare the bond strength of
resin composites with that of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) and lithium disilicate …

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of glazing, two
zirconia, and two lithium disilicate polishing systems on surface roughness of a CAD/CAM …

Statement of problem Current in vitro and short-term clinical studies suggest that deep
margin elevation (DME) is a suitable approach to relocate subgingival margins to a …

Background and objectives: Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) prostheses are considered the
gold standard for the replacement of missing teeth, however, these have several drawbacks …
