Objectives The present narrative review was focused on the optical properties, surface
treatment, adhesion, and clinical indications of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics …

Statement of problem A consensus on whether to use an adhesive layer on glass-ceramics
after etching with hydrofluoric acid and applying a silane-coupling agent is lacking. Purpose …

Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) of LDC and
resin composite in combination with phototherapy and different ceramic surface treatments …

Purpose To evaluate the tightening torque maintenance with zirconia, lithium disilicate, and
polyetheretherketone (PEEK) hybrid-abutment-crowns after thermal aging, in addition to …

Objective: Evaluation of wear behavior of computer-aided design/computer-aided
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns from various restorative materials and natural …

Statement of problem The influence of surface treatments on the bond durability of zirconia-
reinforced lithium silicate ceramics (ZLS) is unclear. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro …

Objective To evaluate the influence of surface treatment on roughness (SA), topography,
and shear bond strength (SBS) of computer‐aided designer and manufacture (CAD/CAM) …

ABSTRACT Statement of Problem Intraoral repair techniques prevent unnecessary
replacement of ceramic restorations, thereby increasing the survival rate. However …

Purpose: This study systematically reviewed the literature to compare the bond strength of
resin composites with that of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) and lithium disilicate …

The surfaces of four lithium disilicate glass ceramics (LDGC) were characterized at the
nanolevel. The goal was to detect the chemical alteration of the surface on etching with …
