“…Assessment of satisfaction outcomes allows for a direct appraisal of patients' opinions and feelings towards different aspects of the prosthodontic rehabilitation. Patient satisfaction with LD ceramic treatments is effected by the improvement in their oral health and aspects of their quality of life (such as function, comfort, and aesthetics) [13] . Previous studies [13,14] have assessed and reported patient satisfaction for all-ceramic restorations with respect to oral hygiene and satisfaction of treatment.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and predictors of satisfaction in patients with lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic crowns. Subjects and Methods: Clinical outcomes were assessed in 47 patients with 88 LD crowns using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) evaluation criteria and survival rates. The questionnaire for predictors included 3 aspects: (a) sociodemographic characteristics, (b) oral health habits (tooth brushing frequency, flossing frequency, and dental visits), and (c) satisfaction of the restorations (aesthetics, function, fit, cleansability, and chewing ability of the crowns, and overall satisfaction). Frequency distributions were computed using univariate and multivariate analysis. The Student t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare means across variables. Correlation analysis was done to assess the association between continuous variables. Results: The age of crowns was 34.7 ± 9.7 months. The survival rate was 96.6% at 35.9 ± 9.2 months. There was a significant association between successful crown function and oral hygiene measures: tooth brushing (p˂ 0.001), dental visits (p = 0.006), and flossing (p = 0.009). A strong negative correlation was observed between aesthetic satisfaction (r = -0.717, p˂ 0.001) and chewing ability (r = -0.639, p˂ 0.001) with crown age. The linear regression model was significant for all predictors (p < 0.05) except overall satisfaction (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The LD crowns had long survival rates of 96.6% up to 35.9 ± 9.2 months and provided satisfactory clinical performance (low risk of failure). Oral hygiene habits such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits influenced patient satisfaction with LD crowns.

This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties, composition and surface preparation for adhesive bonding of the recently introduced zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) glass-ceramic. One single block of ZLS was used to prepare the specimens (n=14). The fracture toughness (Ft) and the Vickers hardness (HV) were measured on specimens partially crystallized (PCs) (n=4) and fully crystallized (FCs) at 840°C for 8 min (n=4). The surface treatment was done using hydrofluoric-acid gel (HF) at different concentrations and times of action on FCs specimens (n=4). SEM-EDX was used to test elemental composition and crystalline phases (n=2). The new ZLS glass-ceramic showed significantly higher values of HV and Ft for FCs, PCs showed a brittle behavior. The surface etching should be made using HF at 4.9% for 20 s.

“…Although several studies are proposing very conservative metal-free restorations with ultrathin (i.e. up to 0.5 mm) occlusal thickness, scientific data regarding their clinical predictability are lacking, prevalently referring to case reports, mainly in posterior areas [8].…”

“…Moreover, metal-free restorations offer a more natural tooth-like appearance, resulting in astounding esthetics and optimal translucency [6,7]. On the basis of minimal intervention dentistry, the preservation of tooth structures is crucial and produced a significant change in preparation designs that have become more and more conservative particularly in posterior regions, taking advantage of adhesive cementation techniques [2,8,9]. Nonetheless, besides manufacturers' guidelines, there is no consensus about a minimum recommended thickness for metal-free posterior restorations [1,10,11].…”
