The use of ceramic materials and the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology for the fabrication of complete-coverage restorations has significantly increased in the last decade. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of anterior and posterior monolithic and bilayered lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDGC) CAD/CAM crowns, and to identify the types of complications associated with the main clinical outcomes reported in clinical trials. MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched by 2 independent reviewers for clinical studies published between 2006 and 2019, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The electronic search was supplemented by a hand search. Quality assessment for the included studies was performed. Qualitative and quantitative data was extracted from each study. Out of 219 studies, 6 studies that evaluated LDGC CAD/CAM crowns were identified and used for data extraction. The included studies had 154 participants, who received 204 crowns. The shortto medium-term survival and success rates were high. Biological complications occurred more frequently than technical complications. No esthetic complications were reported. This review indicated that the medium-term survival rate of LDGC CAD/CAM crowns was high. Further multicenter studies with longer follow-ups and larger sample sizes are needed in order to augment the data already in existence.

D002516 Ceramics Products made by baking or firing nonmetallic minerals (clay and similar materials). In making dental restorations or parts of restorations the material is fused porcelain. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed & Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed) Ceramic
D003442 Crowns A prosthetic restoration that reproduces the entire surface anatomy of the visible natural crown of a tooth. It may be partial (covering three or more surfaces of a tooth) or complete (covering all surfaces). It is made of gold or other metal, porcelain, or resin. Dental Crowns,Crown, Dental,Crowns, Dental,Dental Crown,Crown
D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
