Statement Of Problem: Completely veneered zirconia ceramic (ZC) fixed partial dentures (FPDs) have been reported to have a higher incidence of ceramic chipping than the standard metal-ceramic FPDs. However, data from comparative long-term studies are sparse.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term survival, chipping-free survival, and success of ceramic-veneered high noble metal alloy (HN), base metal alloy (cobalt-chromium alloy) (CC), and ZC FPDs and to isolate risk factors for the incidence of failure, veneer chipping, and overall complications.
Background: Reliable and suitable bruxism assessment would be desirable, but available studies presented heterogeneous results.
Objective: To determine the agreement of patient self-reports and clinical signs of sleep bruxism (SB) with electromyographic/electrocardiographic data.
Methods: Two hundred individuals from a German dental clinic population (120 women and 80 men) participated in the study.
Purpose: To prospectively compare the clinical performance of posterior inlay-retained and wing-retained monolithic zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
Materials And Methods: After simple randomization, 30 participants received either one inlay-retained (n = 15; mean age: 56.38 ± 12.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 10-year clinical performance of zirconia-based inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (IRFDP).
Methods: For replacement of a molar in 27 patients, 30 IRFDP were luted by use of different cements, Panavia F (Kuraray Europe GmbH) or Multilink Automix (Ivoclar Vivadent GmbH), with use of inlay/inlay, inlay/full-crown, or inlay/partial-crown retainers for anchorage. Frameworks were milled from yttria-stabilized zirconia (IPS e.
