The proportion of mode 4 failure—characterized by longitudinal restoration and tooth fracture involving the root—showed an increasing trend in the following order: ST and OV < VL < FC ( p = 0.001).

Our data also indicated that the overlay design achieved higher fracture resistance than the veneerlay, although the difference did not reach statistical significance.
