Purpose: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare the outcome of feldspathic porcelain (group 1) and glass-infiltrated alumina all-ceramic (group 2) crowns.

Materials And Methods: Patients were recruited based on inclusion/exclusion criteria, and 33 eligible subjects were assigned randomly to one of the two treatment groups. One hundred one crowns were placed predominantly in the anterior portion of the mouth and were cemented using resin cement. A baseline California Dental Association quality evaluation was completed, and Plaque and Gingival Index scores were recorded. Prosthetic and soft tissue scores were recorded for up to 3 years.

Results: Five restorations experienced mechanical failure. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 3-year survival probabilities for group 1 (0.94) and group 2 (0.95) restorations were comparable (P = .484). Plaque and Gingival Index scores for both groups were similar at the 3-year recall (P > .999). Marginal integrity, anatomical form, and color and surface scores were also similar for both groups (P > .05).

Conclusion: Feldspathic and glass-infiltrated alumina all-ceramic crowns placed predominantly in the anterior portion have comparable biologic and prosthetic outcomes, as well as survival probabilities.

This study evaluated the effect of different occlusal surface finishes (glaze and silica glass infiltration) on surface characteristics and fatigue behavior of partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) plates adhesively bonded onto epoxy resin discs. PSZ disc specimens (n = 15; Katana blocks STML, Kuraray Noritake Dental) were produced (Ø = 10 mm; thickness = 1.2 mm) and allocated into 3 groups: As sintered (S), silica glass infiltration (SGI), and glaze application (G).

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.

A huge concern on global climate/energy crises has triggered intense development of radiative coolers (RCs), which are promising green-cooling technologies. The continuous efforts on RCs have fast-tracked notable energy-savings by minimizing solar absorption and maximizing thermal emission. Recently, in addition to spectral optimization, ceramic-based thermally insulative RCs are reported to improve thermoregulation by suppressing heat gain from the surroundings.
