Improved material strength, enhanced esthethic and high biocompatibility give Zirconia
ceramic a great possibility to be used for a wide range of promising clinical applications …

Cast metal post-core systems have a long history of successful use because of their superior
physical properties. However, their high elastic modulus can cause stress concentrations …

OBJECTIVES: With this in vitro study the fracture strength of zirconia-based crown copings
being veneered with a CAD/CAM generated high-strength ceramic cap by sintering is …

OBJECTIVES: This retrospective study investigated the clinical effectiveness over up to 8
years of parallel-sided and of tapered glass-fiber posts, in combination with either hybrid …

Due to an increasing interest in esthetics and concerns about toxic and allergic reactions to
certain alloys, zirconia was proposed as a new ceramic material in the later part of 20 th …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The bond strength of composite resin cores to the smooth
surface of prefabricated zirconia-based ceramic posts is problematic because it might not be …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture strength of zirconium
implant abutments and the torque required to unfasten the retaining screw before and after …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: One-piece milled zirconia posts and cores present an esthetic
option as foundation restorations for ceramic crowns. To date, dimensional fit and load …

PURPOSE: The objective was to compare absolute translucency with a frequently used
surrogate measure of relative translucency (contrast ratio) from 14 all-ceramic materials …

Finite element analysis was performed to evaluate stress distribution in maxillary central
incisors treated endodontically and restored with a post and an all-ceramic crown. Tensile …
