TL;DR: This study investigated the influence of restoration thickness to the fracture resistance of adhesively bonded Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM, a Resin Nano Ceramic (RNC), and IPS e.max CAD ceramic to show a compressive permanent damage in all groups.

TL;DR: The nanofilled composite resin and polymer‐infiltrated ceramic were more antagonist‐friendly (whether enamel or CAD‐CAM material) than glass‐ceramics and zirconia, and care should be taken when selecting the material that will contact mainly with glass‐cersamics.

TL;DR: After three consecutive applications of a 35% H(2)O( 2) bleaching agent, the diffusion of the gel components through enamel and dentine caused severe toxic effects to cultured pulp cells.

TL;DR: After 5 consecutive applications of a 35% H2O2 bleaching agent, either catalyzed or not by halogen light, products of gel degradation were capable to diffuse through enamel and dentin causing toxic effects to the cells.

TL;DR: The elastic properties of ceramic materials were influenced by composition and processing methods, and these differences influenced the stress concentration at the bonding interface between tooth and restoration.
