Reliability Estimation for Single-unit Ceramic Crown Restorations

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

Cements and adhesives for all-ceramic restorations.

Dental cements are designed to retain restorations, prefabricated or cast posts and cores, and appliances in a stable, and long-lasting position in the oral environment. Resin-based cements were developed to overcome drawbacks of nonresinous materials, including low strength, high solubility, and opacity. Successful cementation of esthetic restorations depends on appropriate treatment to the to...

Reliability and properties of core materials for all-ceramic dental restorations

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...
