degradation (LTD) of second-generation monolithic prostheses made of 3% molar yttrium …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sandblasting, grinding and plasma
treatment on the adhesive bond strength between framework ceramic (Y-TZP) and …

Objectives Mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between core and veneering ceramic
(Δα= α core− α veneer, ppm/° C) is reported as a crucial parameter influencing veneer …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of laser surface structuring on the
bond strength of feldspar-based porcelain to zirconia, as compared to conventional …

The interfacial interaction of veneering ceramic with zirconia is still not fully understood. This
study aimed to characterize morphologically and chemically the zirconia–veneering ceramic …
