“…The survival rate of 96.6% at 35.9 ± 9.2 months in the present study was similar to those reported in previous studies (95.4 and 97.8%) [17,18] . A possible explanation for the high survival rates in the present study was the location of crowns, as 89.7% of all LD crowns were on anterior teeth.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes and predictors of satisfaction in patients with lithium disilicate (LD) ceramic crowns. Subjects and Methods: Clinical outcomes were assessed in 47 patients with 88 LD crowns using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) evaluation criteria and survival rates. The questionnaire for predictors included 3 aspects: (a) sociodemographic characteristics, (b) oral health habits (tooth brushing frequency, flossing frequency, and dental visits), and (c) satisfaction of the restorations (aesthetics, function, fit, cleansability, and chewing ability of the crowns, and overall satisfaction). Frequency distributions were computed using univariate and multivariate analysis. The Student t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare means across variables. Correlation analysis was done to assess the association between continuous variables. Results: The age of crowns was 34.7 ± 9.7 months. The survival rate was 96.6% at 35.9 ± 9.2 months. There was a significant association between successful crown function and oral hygiene measures: tooth brushing (p˂ 0.001), dental visits (p = 0.006), and flossing (p = 0.009). A strong negative correlation was observed between aesthetic satisfaction (r = -0.717, p˂ 0.001) and chewing ability (r = -0.639, p˂ 0.001) with crown age. The linear regression model was significant for all predictors (p < 0.05) except overall satisfaction (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The LD crowns had long survival rates of 96.6% up to 35.9 ± 9.2 months and provided satisfactory clinical performance (low risk of failure). Oral hygiene habits such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits influenced patient satisfaction with LD crowns.

“…As to SCs, after 2 years of simulated or real service, 100% survival rates were noticed in both laboratory [25] and clinical investigations [26]; in in vitro studies 100% survival rate was reported after 5 years of simulated function as well [20, 27] while the percentage changed to 97.8% in in vivo clinical investigations [26]. Differently, as regards FDPs, the cumulative survival rates at 5 years ranged from 75% to 100% in vitro [28, 29] while the equivalent clinical rate was 78.1% [26]; long-term laboratory investigations simulating more than 10 years of service showed 70% survival rate [30], comparable to the in vivo cumulative survival rate of 70.9% after 10 years of function [26]. The sound level of agreement between in vitro and in vivo data confirmed that laboratory investigations could represent a good simulation of the clinical scenario; nonetheless, this conclusion has to be considered only indicative, since the amount of data is not large enough to indicate consolidated clinical guidelines [24].…”

The present paper was aimed at reporting the state of the art about lithium disilicate ceramics. The physical, mechanical, and optical properties of this material were reviewed as well as the manufacturing processes, the results of in vitro and in vivo investigations related to survival and success rates over time, and hints for the clinical indications in the light of the latest literature data. Due to excellent optical properties, high mechanical resistance, restorative versatility, and different manufacturing techniques, lithium disilicate can be considered to date one of the most promising dental materials in Digital Dentistry.

“…22,23 Because the etching procedure can be easily performed either in the dental laboratory or chairside, etchable glass ceramics are popular in clinical practice. [24][25][26] A variety of millable ceramics are available. 27,28 IPS e.max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent AG) is a lithium disilicate, Li 2 Si 2 O 5 containing 35 to 45 vol% of evenly dispersed 1 to 5 mm leucite crystals.…”
