The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate over a 5-year period, the clinical outcome of shrinkage-free ZrSiO(4)-ceramic (KaVo Everest HPC) full coverage crowns on posterior teeth in comparison with conventional gold crowns that served as the
The aim of this study was to characterize the surface of Y-TZP after abrasion with various airborne particles. The Y-TZP blanks were cut into 44 discs and sintered according to the manufacturer's instructions. The specimens were treated as follows: (a)
