The use of CAD/CAM technology has allowed the fabrication of ceramic restorations efficiently and with predictable results. Lithium disilicate is a type of glass ceramic material that can be used for the elaboration of laminate veneers, being monolithic restorations which require characterization through a covering ceramic in order to achieve acceptable esthetic results. The next case report sh...

Restorative treatment of the severely worn dentition is typically indicated to replace deficient tooth structure, limit the advancement of tooth destruction, improve oral function, and enhance the appearance of the teeth. Minimizing removal of additional tooth structure while also fulfilling the desire of patients to have highly esthetic restorations can present a prosthetic challenge when the ...

Because of their predictable results and conservation of tooth structure, ceramic veneers are indicated for the esthetic treatment of anterior teeth with anomalous positions or appearance. The objective of this case report is to highlight the steps in dental rehabilitation using ceramic veneers reinforced by lithium disilicate. In this case the patient had diastemas between the mandibular incis...

Background: Our research aimed to compare the biaxial flexural strength of glass ceramic and two different monolithic zirconias after aging, examine fracture surfaces with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) perform elemental analysis energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Methods: Two types CAD/CAM materials (Katana UTML Prettau Anterior) a lithium disilicate material (IPS emax Press) were selec...

The most widely used glass-ceramic is lithium disilicate (LD) because of its remarkable optical qualities, high strength, and simplicity manufacture. Greater marginal reduced porosity, net-shaped manufacturing by pressing are further benefits LD. development yttrium stabilized trigonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) ceramics the result pursuit for a material with both mechanical capabilities,...
