Materials And Methods: A thorough search of Internet databases was conducted up to September 2023. The search retrieved studies that evaluated AM zirconia specimens and restorations regarding the physical-mechanical properties and mechanical behavior of zirconia.
Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the debonding resistance of three different endocrown designs on molar teeth, using three different zirconia surface pretreatments.
Material And Method: Ninety human mandibular first molars were divided into three main groups: endocrowns without ferrule, with 1 mm ferrule, and with 2 mm ferrule. The subgroups were defined by their surface pretreatment method used (n = 15): 50 μm alumina air-particle abrasion, silica coating using 30 μm Cojet™ particles, and Zircos-E® etching.
Failure and complication rates of different materials, designs, and bonding techniques of ceramic cantilever resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses for restoring missing anterior teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this review was to assess clinical trials that have examined the materials, design, and bonding of ceramic cantilevered resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) as a potential option for replacing missing anterior teeth. The evaluation primarily focuses on the rate of restoration failure and clinical complications.
Materials And Methods: A thorough search of databases including PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, was conducted.
Statement Of Problem: Evidence on the long-term clinical assessment and longevity of ceramic veneers bonded to different substrates is limited.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of various substrates, including enamel, dentin, or an existing composite resin restoration, on the clinical survival and complication rates of ceramic veneers.
Material And Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched, and related journals were hand searched without time or language restrictions to identify clinical trials that compared the survival rate and clinical complication rates when bonding ceramic veneers to different tooth substrates.
