title: A review of all-ceramic restorations.
abstract: To select the most appropriate type of all-ceramic system for clinical use, the clinician must be familiar with the differences between systems. This article discusses five categories of all-ceramic restorative systems relative to their processing techniques, strength and wear characteristics. The authors present and compare results of published in vitro studies and short-term clinical studies.
