Fracture resistance of all-ceramic crowns placed on a preparation with a slice-formed finishing line Akesson J et al. - The fracture resistance determined was equal or superior to reported values for bite forces and all-ceramic crowns. Thus, it seems likely that the type of restorations evaluated have the potential for successful use on a slice-formed preparation. However, long-term studies are essential in order to assess the performance of this ceramic system in a clinical context. [more...]
