Both CHX and propolis were the most effective against E. faecalis, whereas only CHX had the highest antifungal activity on C. albicans in dentine of extracted teeth.

Under the conditions of this study, the marginal and internal fit of zirconia crowns fabricated over inverse-tapered preparations is within clinically accepted values.

Both 1% CET and TRIA significantly reduced the viability of E. faecalis in dentine of extracted teeth in comparison with 2% CHX gel and calcium hydroxide paste. Further laboratory and clinical investigations should be carried out to validate findings of the beneficial use of 1% CET as an intracanal medicament against E. faecalis.

The fracture resistance of anterior glass-ceramic crowns fabricated over reverse-tapered preparations was similar to that of crowns made on abutments with 0- or 12-degree tapers.
