The aim of this in vitro study is to compare the shear bond and bi-axial flexural strengths of samples veneered with, CAD/CAM-fabricated zirconia core, and Press-on technique, with the definition its mode of failure. Twenty zirconia core discs were made using IPs e.max ZirCAD and CAD/CAM technology. These were divided equally in to two groups. Group one was veneered by CAD-on technique using IPs e.max CAD, and group two was veneered by Press-on technique using IPs e.max ZirPress, then all the discs are thermocycled. The specimens were exposed to shear bond and biaxial flexural strength testing. Mode of failure was evaluated by SEM. All data were collected and analyzed statistically by SPSS, with significance level 5%, where P≤ 0.05. The t- test analysis of shear strength test showed statistically significant difference at (p < 0.05) for CAD-on group. While there were no statistically significant difference at (p < 0.05) for the biaxial flexural strength test between the two groups. CAD-on group showed adhesive/cohesive failure, while press-on group showed cohesive failure within the veneering ceramic. This study concluded that, the bond strength between zirconia core and veneer was affected by the veneering technique. CAD-on technique showed statistically significant high bond strength over Press-on technique arabic 20 English 98

All -ceramic restorations are nowadays widely accepted in the anterior and posterior regions. The geometry of tooth preparation has been the subject of many debates without clear evidence that one type of finish line provides consistently superior marginal fit. Therefore, the main interest of the present research was directed toward the influence of margin configuration on marginal adaptation of all ceramic crowns. Articles were selected on the basis of they had sufficient information related to types of the finish line and related factors effect on marginal adaptation of all ceramic crowns. The results of this study revealed that the best finish line chose for all ceramic restorations still remains a difficult goal to be achieved. arabic 14 English 84

This book was designed to provide dental students an overview about the instruments which used in fixed Prosthodontics. It is useful as a revision and reference tool. It is also prepared to be easy to read for dental students and general dental practitioner. The book aimed to enhance the knowledge and understanding the application of the instruments and equipment used to make crowns and bridges from the beginning of the diagnosis stage till the delivery of final restoration. Dental practitioner must have a thorough background about the knowledge and function of each instrument to be used in fabrication of a fixed partial denture as a first step in the patient treatment.
