Influence of different zirconia coping designs on the fracture resistance of all-ceramic crowns: An in vitro study

Abstract

On the basis of the results obtained from this study, it can be concluded that, the more the height of the zirconia collar, the higher the fracture strength of the all-ceramic crowns. Thus ceramic-layered zirconia coping design with 1.5 mm marginal collar height is recommended for functional long life, at least in the posterior higher load-bearing areas with lesser esthetic demands.
