December 2024
Objective: To investigate the nature and availability of evidence on the clinical performance of posterior partial coverage restorations (PCR) fabricated from different ceramic materials, outcome definitions, measurement methods, study drop-outs and follow ups.
Overview: A systematic literature search (inception-February 2024) was performed through MEDLINE, Scopus, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform to identify clinical studies with a focus on posterior PCRs (onlays, occlusal veneers and partial crowns) with a minimum follow-up of 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- - A 20-year-old woman with type I hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta experienced aesthetic issues and sensitivity, prompting a complete mouth rehabilitation using a fully digital workflow.
- - An interdisciplinary approach included a multigene panel analysis and digital scans to guide minimally invasive dental preparations, resulting in interim restorations made of high-performance polycarbonate and final restorations in translucent zirconia.
- - This efficient treatment plan not only addressed her dental concerns but also enhanced her understanding of her genetic condition, highlighting the importance of genetics in her treatment, with a strong follow-up plan to ensure long-term success.
Objective: To determine the clinical performance of partial coverage restorations (PCR) (onlays, occlusal veneers, and partial crowns) composed of different ceramic and ceramic-based materials to treat extended posterior defects.
Materials And Methods: MEDLINE, Scopus, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched (inception-February 2024) for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing posterior PCRs composed of different ceramic and ceramic-based materials with a minimum follow-up of 1 year.
This retrospective study evaluated the clinical long-term survival of 1405 double-crown retained removable partial dentures (DRPDs) over 30 years of follow-up. Kaplan Meier survival rate for DRPDs was 96.6% after 5 years, 88.

Objective: To provide a guide for conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses in dentistry, with emphasis on translating research findings into clinical practice.
Overview: Systematic reviews are essential tools for synthesizing research findings and translating evidence into clinical practice. These reviews help to identify the most effective treatment options and to determine areas requiring further research.
