5-Year Clinical Outcomes of Three-Unit Posterior Zirconia- Ceramic Fixed Dental Prostheses: A Randomized Trial Comparing Manually and CAD/CAM Layered Veneering.

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.
