Five?year results of a prospective randomised controlled clinical trial of posterior computer?aided design–computer?aided manufacturing ZrSiO4?ceramic crowns

Summary The aim of this prospective randomised controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical outcome of shrinkage?free ZrSiO4?ceramic full?coverage crowns on premolars and molars in comparison with conventional gold crowns over a 5?year period.
