Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess if the presence of an
endodontic post may increase the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated maxillary …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the embedment material and
periodontal ligament simulation on fracture resistance of bovine teeth. Eighty bovine incisor …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Various machinable materials are currently used with
computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies for the …

Purpose: Adhesively luted partial ceramic crowns have been documented to be clinically
more durable than direct composite restorations when minimally invasively restoring large …

Polymerization shrinkage of composites is one of the main causes of leakage around dental
restorations. Despite the large numbers of studies there is no consensus, what kind of teeth …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.: Previous studies on strength of teeth reconstructed with
ceramic or composite resin inlays have not resolved which restoration material provides the …

Clinical Relevance To restore endodontically-treated molars, the use of indirect hybrid inlay
restorations may be recommended due to their more favorable fracture failure modes …

Objectives This study investigated the influence of proximal box elevation (PBE) with
composite resin when applied to deep proximal defects in root-filled molars with mesio …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.: When cuspal coverage is required, there is no evidence that
indirect composite resin restorations are superior to direct restorations in terms of …

The objectives of this in-vitro study were to investigate the influence of Deep Margin
Elevation (DME) and the preparation design (cusp coverage) on the fracture strength and …
