Adhesive cementation of etchable ceramic esthetic restorations.

This article describes the different materials and techniques that are used for adhesive cementation. Particular attention is given to treatments suitable for dentin, as well as the selection of surface treatments for various restorative materials. Factors related to the durability and stability of the adhesive process, as well as the clinical and laboratory procedures required for cementation,...

Crown Considerations, Preparations, and Material Selection for Esthetic Metal-Ceramic Restorations

The Importance of the Lifelike Esthetic Appearance of All-Ceramic Restorations on Anterior Teeth

The success of rehabilitation will not depend on just clinical procedures. A proper dental technique (ceramist) is required as well as the respect for some biomimetic principles to obtain the desired final result. This study has the purpose of describing a prosthetic rehabilitation with laminate veneers and all-ceramic crowns of a patient unsatisfied with a previous esthetic treatment because o...

Marginal fit of leucite-glass pressable ceramic restorations and ceramic-pressed-to-metal restorations.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Fabricating a feldspathic porcelain margin on a metal-ceramic restoration with a clinically acceptable marginal fit has proven to be a technique-sensitive procedure. Pressable ceramics are advocated to solve this problem. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the marginal adaptation of a pressable ceramic system when used with both all-ceramic and meta...
