Abstract
Aims: To analyze the bibliometric evolution of inert bioceramics in dentistry and compare the morphology and chemical composition of four ceramic-based restorative materials.
Materials and methods: Four groups of experimental samples were fabricated: Monolithic yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2), monolithic lithium disilicate (Li2Si2O5), ZrO2 veneered with feldspathic porcelain, and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) veneered with feldspathic porcelain. Each sample was processed using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), heat pressing, or conventional layering techniques and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for elemental composition, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for surface chemical analysis.
Results: Monolithic restorations showed homogeneous surfaces with stable composition, while Li2Si2O5 presented microcracks. Layered samples revealed a sharp ceramic-ceramic boundary and a chemically bonded oxide layer at the metal-ceramic interface.
Conclusion: Processing preserved chemical stability in all groups, with stronger adhesion observed in metal-ceramic systems.
Clinical significance: Material selection should balance esthetics with interfacial stability to ensure long-term restoration performance.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice (JCDP), is a peer-reviewed, open access MEDLINE indexed journal. The journal’s full text is available online at http://www.thejcdp.com. The journal allows free access (open access) to its contents. Articles with clinical relevance will be given preference for publication. The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles, rare and novel case reports, and clinical techniques. Manuscripts are invited from all specialties of dentistry i.e., conservative dentistry and endodontics, dentofacial orthopedics and orthodontics, oral medicine and radiology, oral pathology, oral surgery, orodental diseases, pediatric dentistry, implantology, periodontics, clinical aspects of public health dentistry, and prosthodontics.
