Survivability of Lithium Disilicate CAD/CAM Restorations Delivered by Predoctoral Students.

Objectives: With the increasing incorporation of digital workflows into the daily procedures of dental schools, it becomes essential to assess the competence of new generations of dentists to provide the best care when using these technologies. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the survivability of monolithic lithium disilicate (LiDi) restorations prepared and delivered by predoctoral dental students. The primary variable investigated was the service time of the restorations, that is, the time the restorations were in clinical function, encompassing the time from the moment they were placed until failure and/or the last follow-up evaluation.
