“…Good results were observed in terms of incidence of typical prosthetic adverse events such as chippings, fractures, and debonding of the definitive restoration. In their retrospective study, Sulaiman et al reported a failure rate of 4.55% for monolithic lithium disilicate FDPs after 45 months of load. In our study 2/65 prostheses fractured, resulting in a failure percentage of 3.07% after 3 years of function.…”

“…Failure of lithium disilicate FDPs has been associated with short connector heights and high occlusal forces . Lithium disilicate FDPs have also been associated with a high frequency of fracture by crack propagation . A recent review concluded that the heterogeneity in the setting of the in vitro testing variables, especially the magnitude of load and number of cycles applied, makes it impractical to determine the precise range of FDP fatigue resistance .…”

“…They are milled wet in a precrystallized phase (purple block), then crystallized in a sintering furnace, followed by polishing, stain, and glaze application. Multiple clinical trials and laboratory surveys report favorable clinical outcomes for lithium disilicate single crown restorations . However, unfavorable results have been reported for lithium disilicate ceramics as fixed dental prosthesis, mostly fracturing at the connector site …”

Objective To review materials available in computer‐aided design/computer‐aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), their various properties and accuracy are compared to conventional materials/methods when available. Overview CAD/CAM in dentistry is constantly growing and becoming a user‐ and patient‐friendly technology and service using intraoral scanners and laboratory/chairside milling units to manufacture dental restorations and appliances from multiple materials including wax, metals, composite resins, and ceramics. Properties of these materials may vary when compared to restorations prepared from conventional and additive manufacturing methods. Understanding the differences in these properties is important for material and fabrication method selection. Additive manufacturing is becoming an alternative to subtractive manufacturing in many applications. However, chemical composition, mechanical and physical properties of these materials are still lacking. 3D printed materials require a considerable amount of research and time to prove their clinical efficacy. Conclusion The current developments in, and possibilities of, CAD/CAM technology is exciting and is transforming restorative dentistry. With all this excitement, it is crucially important to ensure that proper testing and evaluation of the various materials are warranted before making definite claims and decisions to replace conventionally prepared materials. Clinical Significance CAD/CAM materials are versatile and emerging as the material of choice for many restorations and appliances. For recently introduced CAD/CAM materials, it is important to ensure that proper clinical‐ and research‐based evidence confirming the success and durability of these materials are available before recommending them in patient care.

“…Recently, Sulaiman et al [82] have analyzed the clinical outcomes of different IPS e.max lithium disilicate prostheses (SCs, FDPs, veneers, inlays, and onlays), both in the bilayered and monolithic forms, in a 4-year retrospective study on a total of 21.340 restorations. In that research, low fracture rates were reported: 0.91% for monolithic and 1.83% for bilayered single crowns (twice the rate of the monolithic); 4.55% for monolithic FDPs; 1.3% for monolithic and 1.53% for bilayered veneers; and 1.01% for monolithic inlays/onlays.…”

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.
