Load-bearing capacity of pressable lithium disilicates applied as ultra-thin occlusal veneers on molars.

Purpose: The aim was to investigate the load bearing capacity of different pressable lithium disilicates cemented as occlusal veneers on molars.

Materials And Methods: One control group and six test groups were formed consisting of 20 specimens each (n = 20). The six test groups differed in the utilizing pressable lithium disilicate to fabricate occlusal veneers.

The Effect of SnCl/AmF Pretreatment on Short- and Long-Term Bond Strength to Eroded Dentin.

This study investigated the effect of SnCl/AmF pretreatment on short- and long-term bond strength of resin composite to eroded dentin mediated by two self-etch, MDP-containing adhesive systems. 184 dentin specimens were produced from extracted human molars. Half the specimens ( = 92) were artificially eroded, and half were left untreated.
