Despite the increasing utilization of all-ceramic crown systems, their mechanical performance relative to that of metal ceramic restorations (MCR) has yet to be determined. This investigation tested the hypothesis that MCR ...

The development of all-ceramic systems following metalceramics restorations allowed simulation of natural dentition due to favorable esthetics and resistance. In-Ceram is an alternative when esthetics is primordial as well ...

The aim of this manuscript is to describe 2-year follow-up of a clinical experience with a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic for an anterior rehabilitation with single metal-free crowns. The maxillary-central ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of ceramic plates cemented to dentin as a function of the resin cement film thickness. Materials and Methods: Ceramic plates (1 and 2 mm thicknesses) ...

BACKGROUNG: The aim of this study was to evaluate fracture strength of lithium disilicate-based ceramic crowns submitted to neutralization of hydrofluoric acid (HF) precipitates associated with ultrasonic bath and to ...

Purpose: This in vitro study investigated the null hypothesis that metal-free crowns induce fracture loads and mechanical behavior similar to metal ceramic systems and to study the fracture pattern of ceramic crowns under ...

The demand for aesthetic restorations has increased during the last years. Dental ceramics are a successful alternative for some cases because of aesthetics and biocompatibility. Therefore, the aim of this literature review ...
