Abstract

OBJECTIVE The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial was to test posterior zirconia-ceramic fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) veneered with a computer-aided design/computer- assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate veneering ceramic (CAD-on) and manually layered zirconia veneering ceramic with respect to survival of the FDPs, and technical and biologic outcomes. METHOD AND MATERIALS Sixty patients in need of one posterior three-unit FDP were included. The zirconia frameworks were produced with a CAD/CAM
