Key Points

To evaluate and compare the 5-year clinical outcomes of zirconia fixed dental prostheses veneered with different materials.
Randomized trial comparing two types of veneering: CAD/CAM lithium disilicate and manually layered feldspathic ceramic.
Assessment of survival and complication rates over a 5-year period.
Both types of veneering showed comparable 5-year survival rates.
Complication rates were similar for both CAD/CAM and manually layered ceramic options.
