Effect of Material, Cement and Design Type on Retention and Failure of Endocrowns: An In vitro Comparative Study
Zirconia-RMGIC combinations provide superior retention but exhibit more catastrophic failure modes. Metal endocrowns demonstrate favorable, reparable failure patterns and represent a cost-effective alternative. Clinical protocols should emphasize adequate preparation height (≥2 mm) and material-specific cement selection.
