Objectives Zirconia-based dental restorations and implants are gaining attention due to their
bioactivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. Further, surface modification of …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been widely applied in fixed dental prostheses,
comprising crowns, fixed partial dentures, and post-and-core. PEEK's excellent mechanical …

Purpose To evaluate the clinical behavior and survival of full coverage monolithic zirconia
crowns on posterior teeth over a 5-year follow-up. Methods Fifty patients were recruited and …

Statement of problem Although recent studies have reported the success of implant-
supported monolithic restorations, consensus on the use of monolithic ceramic restorations …

Purpose To evaluate the substrate masking ability of different ceramic systems used for
complete crowns and assess the influence of their association with an opaque resin-based …

The aim of this study was to investigate the load to fracture and fracture pattern of prosthetic
frameworks for tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs) fabricated with different …

Statement of problem Strength-gradient zirconia combining 3 zirconia formulations with
different flexural strengths has been reported to have outstanding mechanical properties …

This study aims to evaluate the flexural fatigue strength and survival estimates of an Y-TZP
monolithic ceramic after grinding and aging. Ceramic discs (1.2 mm thickness× 15.0 mm …

(1) Background: Due to advantages such as avoidance of chipping, pulp-friendly tooth
preparation and cost reduction, zirconia is increasingly being used monolithically without …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical analysis of different three-
unit metal-free fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) produced by computer-aided design …
