“…In a bid to improve the fracture strength, studies on this issue have identified several factors that influence the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations, namely, type of ceramic material [2][3][4][5][6] , surface finish of all-ceramic restoration 2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] , cement thickness [17][18][19] , and type of luting agent 3,[20][21][22][23][24][25] . On the preferred surface treatment for ceramic restorations, glazing is generally advocated to improve their strength 2,12,13,26,27) and reduce their surface roughness 12,16,26,[28][29][30] .…”
