... Specimens were then assembled with a self-curing acrylic resin (Ortho resin™; Dentsply, USA) in a short length of polyvinyl chloride mold. To increase root retention in the acrylic resin block, each root was previously scratched on the buccal and lingual surfaces with a tungsten carbide bur [32][33][34][35].The dental inspector apparatus (Ney surveyor, Germany) was used to align the post space with the long axis of the tooth. ...

... Renewing a restoration can damage the tooth structure, creating the potential for trauma to the tooth, and can be time-consuming and costly for both clinicians and patients. Therefore, direct intraoral repair of fractured restorations is clinically important as a less costly and rapid solution [12,13]. ...

... Surface modification techniques such as airborne-particle abrasion 10,11) , tribochemical silica coating 12,13) , oxygen plasma treatment 14) , and application of primers containing 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) [15][16][17] have been reported to improve the bonding of resin-based materials to zirconia frameworks. Coating zirconia frameworks with feldspathic porcelain and subsequent treatment with hydrofluoric acid (HF) and/or silane can significantly improve the bonding between the resin composite layering materials and zirconia [18][19][20] . Simple and effective methods that do not require a special apparatus and that can be applied using only the equipment available in most dental laboratories are desirable in clinical practices. ...

... The fracture of the tooth-supported and implant-supported crowns was either complete mode or crack mode 33 . The failure location of the tooth-tooth-supported prosthesis belongs to two types of three areas: the pontic, the connector, and the abutment 34 . The abutment influence between resin and metal in LA-1 and LB-1 was small, similar to that between metal and ceramic 35 . ...

... In this study, the bond strength of the control group specimens (no application of a universal adhesive) was not stable over time, with all specimens debonding spontaneously before 6 months of water storage, similar to the results of other studies. 32,60,65 Water sorption and hydrolytic degradation of the adhesive interface seem to be the main reasons for this failure, 3,4,14,49 although the composite cement employed contained 10-MDP . The permeability of the composite cement/zirconia interface induces the hydrolysis of the bond between 10-MDP and zirconia, which is responsible for the degradation of the bonded interface. ...

... The literature also mentions that the Y-Al-garnet laser is one of the most useful types of lasers for dental hard tissues; it emits a wavelength that effectively treats the dentin surface, similarly to acid-etching. Cavities with a high surface quality are sharp and well defined, whereas the results show no significant differences regarding the microhardness of the self-etching composites and the laser-etching samples [47]. Another potential treatment is achieved through ultrasonics. ...

... The hydrophilic/hydrophobic features of the monomers were modified to the fillers to ensure optimal wetting of the fillers. (28) This While in contradiction to what was found in our study low shear bond strength value were reported by Secilmis in 2015 (34) and Oztruk in 2016 (35) . Panavia F2.0 with lithium disilicate ceramic were 7.50 MPa and 3.62 MPa respectively. ...

... Duran and Güler 30 used 12 different colors and three different thicknesses of zirconium samples, and they reported that when the color increased, the light transmission decreased. Palta et al. 31 showed that, for all the monolithic zirconia specimens, the light transmission values decreased in the order of 0.5>1.0>2.0 mm in all the color groups and in the order of A1>A2>A3>A4 in all the thickness groups. The researchers, therefore, noted that the light transmission was affected by the color and the thickness of the monolithic zirconia. ...

... To demonstrate whether fiber reinforced composite post system is more effective and favorable in clinical applications, further well-designed in vitro and in vivo investigations are required. 29 Primary purpose of every single post is to provide retention for the core. 30 Following factors affect posts' retention. ...

... The Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er: YAG) laser is an effective tool that can be used not only for the cavity preparation [44,45], but also for composite filling removal due to its selectivity and effectivity [46,47]-the effect of the Er: YAG laser. ...
