Clinical and Microbiologic Outcomes of Ceramic Laminate Veneers Bonded to Teeth Without a Finish Line: 1-year Results of a Prospective Study.

To evaluate changes in the periodontium of teeth restored with ultrathin (0.2 to 0.39 mm) ceramic laminate veneers (CLVs) placed subgingivally without a finish line compared to the same teeth before restorative treatment and to nonrestored antagonist teeth in healthy periodontium patients.

Efficacy of two polishing systems in reestablishing the surface smoothness of posterior monolithic lithium disilicate restorations: One-year results of a split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial.

Statement Of Problem: Selecting the optimal polishing procedure to reestablish surface smoothness after occlusal adjustment is essential for the long-term success of glass-ceramic restorations. While in vitro studies have shown different effective polishing protocols, clinical trials are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this split-mouth controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 polishing systems in reestablishing the surface smoothness of posterior monolithic lithium disilicate ceramic restorations.
