Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.

Background: Lithium disilicate occlusal veneers are popular for minimally invasive posterior teeth restoration. The aim of this study was to compare the fatigue resistance and crack pattern of lithium disilicate occlusal veneers fabricated using pressing and milling techniques with varying thicknesses.

Methods: Sixty lithium disilicate discs, representing occlusal veneers, were divided into four groups (n = 15) based on processing technique (IPS e.

Purpose: This study is designed to explore the effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser tooth etching versus that of conventional tooth surface treatment on the shear bond strength of ceramic laminate veneers.

Methods: Seventy-six maxillary premolars were assigned to two groups (n = 38) according to the type of enamel surface treatment approach. Group 1: samples treated with the conventional acid-etch protocol.

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.

Objectives: This case report describes the clinical protocols for the removal of crowns, tooth extraction, immediate implant placement, and cementation of new crowns, all performed under total or partial isolation with a dental dam.

Clinical Considerations: The patient's chief complaint was dissatisfaction with her smile. Radiographic and clinical evaluations led to the recommendation to replace the porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns on the maxillary central and lateral incisors with all-ceramic crowns.
