Article Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare marginal bone loss (MBL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and the incidence of complications between cement-retained and screw-retained (SR) single implant-supported zirconia crowns to provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians. A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, and Lilac databases was conducted by two independent reviewers for studies published between January 2000 and March 2024. Studies evaluating the success rates and complications of single zirconia implant crowns with either cement or screw retention were included. Data on complication frequency, types, and overall success rates were extracted and analyzed. A total of 168 cement-retained and 166 SR zirconia crowns from seven studies with follow-ups ranging from 3 to 10 years were included. Meta-analysis of three to six studies per outcome indicated that SR crowns had significantly lower MBL at six months (standardized mean difference (SMD): -0.63; p = 0.002), though no significant differences in MBL were found at one, three, and five years. BOP outcomes were similar between both retention types. Notably, SR restorations demonstrated a 46% reduced risk of complications compared to cement-retained ones (RR: 0.54; p = 0.02). In conclusion, SR implant-supported zirconia crowns are associated with fewer early MBL and complications. However, long-term bone loss and peri-implant mucosal health appear comparable between the two retention methods.

Introduction: This study investigated the effect of sandblasting time and primer type on the shear bond strength of composite attachments to full-contour zirconia crowns.
Methods: A total of 108 zirconia specimens were fabricated and divided into 9 groups (n = 12) according to sandblasting time (10, 30, and 60 seconds) and primer type (silane, 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate [MDP], universal). After sandblasting with 110-μm alumina particles, specimens were primed, and attachments were bonded using a packable composite.

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone) ultrasonic tip in the cleaning around implant-supported restorations and to evaluate the effect of different cement types on the amount of residual cement at the restoration margins.Materials and methods A master model with an implant analogue placed in the upper left first premolar region was used to create 72 cast models and zirconia crowns were fabricated for each model. A total of 72 zirconia crowns were divided into two main groups based on the cleaning method applied after cementation.

Background: Short clinical crowns/abutments (SCC) pose a challenge in achieving adequate retention. Auxiliary retentive features (ARF), such as grooves, are commonly employed to enhance retention. The marginal gap (MG) and internal fit (IF) of restorations are critical factors influencing clinical success.

Fixed prosthetic restorations, particularly those made entirely of zirconia, are widely used in clinical dental practice for the restoration of natural teeth. Their success largely depends on the design of the tooth preparation, especially the type of finish line, as well as the restoration's ability to withstand occlusal forces during mastication. Over 12 months, a total of 21 extracted teeth were initially collected, from which six were selected for this study.

Statement Of Problem: How different restorative materials designed for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) and substance loss affect the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars restored with 1-piece endodontic crowns is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the impact of various CAD-CAM restorative materials and residual tooth structure on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars restored with 1-piece endodontic crowns.
Material And Methods: Sixty-four maxillary first premolars were endodontically treated and divided into 4 main groups (n=16) according to the restorative material: ZP: Zirconia 1-piece endodontic crowns group (IPS e.
