Objective: This in vitro study aims to evaluate load-to-failure of ceramic veneers with butt joint (BJ) and feathered edge (FE) incisal preparation designs, and to correlate these results to the failure mode of the restorations.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and forty-eight typodont teeth (customized Nissin A25A-UL19B) were divided into two different preparation configurations BJ and FE and two different loading angulations, 0° and 20°. Lithium disilicate ceramic veneers (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) were milled using computer-aided-design-and-computer-aided-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques. Veneers were bonded to typodont teeth with resin cement (IPS Variolink Esthetic, Ivoclar Vivadent). Each group was loaded at the incisal edge using an Instron Universal Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 0.01 mm/s till failure.

Results: Pairwise comparison showed veneers from the BJ groups had a significantly higher load-to-failure value compared to the FE groups. Veneers with a FE preparation design loaded at 20° angulation had the lowest load-to-failure value.

Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study, both incisal preparation designs and loading angulations have significant effects on the load-to-failure values of ceramic veneers. BJ group exhibits a significantly higher load-to-failure value compared to the FE group.

Clinical Significance: BJ incisal preparation is preferred over FE preparation design.

Background: The success of a restoration largely depends on the quality of its fit. This study aimed to investigate the fit quality of monolithic zirconia veneers (MZVs) produced through traditional and digital workflows.

Methods: A typodont maxillary right central incisor was prepared.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cracked teeth and vertical root fracture observable on micro-CT images of extracted roots of mandibular incisors, after fiber post removal.

Materials And Methods: Thirty mandibular incisors were selected with any degree of slight incisal wear inspected with the aid of a stereomicroscope under 12x magnification, in order to have a group of young adult specimens according to the criteria of Hugoson et al. A sample of twelve mandibular incisors were selected, aged between 20 and 30 years old, with similar dentine volume and thickness.

Purpose: To evaluate the preclinical teaching effects of digital virtual simulation system applied in window-type veneer tooth preparation of undergraduate dental students.

Methods: In the early clinical exposure of five-year undergraduate students from School of Stomatology, Fudan University, Simodont virtual simulation system and conventional phantom-simulator system were alternatively used in the preclinical teaching of veneer tooth preparation. First, after theoretical training and tests of veneer tooth preparation, twenty-three students were randomly divided into two groups.

Aim: Composite restorations often have gingival margins near the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), where the microleakage of these margins can significantly contribute to the restoration failure, especially in the cervical lesions. It is important to determine the microleakage is crucial, as it typically occurs through the interfacial gap between the tooth and the restoration. Various resin composites and techniques have been developed to minimize this gap and reduce the risk of microleakage.
