Brief summary
This study evaluates retrospectively the survival rate of all-ceramic restorations, cemented using AWB technique (test) compared to those cemented with conventional technique (control)
Detailed description
A retrospective study on ceramic restorations, placed in the period 2003-2014, will be performed to assess the survival rate of all-ceramic restorations cemented adhesively. The effectiveness of cementation largely depend on the method used. The Air-Water-blasting performed prior to conventional acid-etch of dental tissues offers an increase in bond strength compared to the conventional etching technique.
Interventions
partial or complete ceramic restorations bonded to dental tissues after WAB and total etching or after total etching
