Abstract: This study aimed to compare the effects of two surface-coating methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) of veneering ceramics (VC) to zirconia. Eighty pre-sintered zirconia cubes were randomly assigned into four study groups: E60S, E60P, N60S, and N60P. The zirconia surface was coated with a mixture of two types of glaze and alumina (
