Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This investigation will be a longitudinal clinical trial to study the long-term clinical performance of a resin cement for chairside CAD/CAM restorations. Lithium disilicate chairside CAD/CAM onlays will be adhesively bonded using a selective enamel etch technique with an adhesive.

Full contour zirconia crowns will be cemented using a self-adhesive resin cement.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Lithium disilicate onlays (IPS emaxCAD/Ivoclar)
  • Device: Chairside zirconia crowns (3M)

Detailed Description

A wide variety of restorative materials are available for dental restorations. The most popular current materials include glass ceramics and full contour zirconia. Glass ceramic materials are generally preferred for their high translucency mimicking enamel-like esthetics of natural teeth and zirconia is preferred for high strength applications. Both of these materials are available for clinical treatment using chairside CAD/CAM technology.

The introduction of an induction sintering oven (SpeedFire oven/Dentsply Sirona) opened the opportunity for chairside full contour zirconia crowns by decreasing sintering times for zirconia to under 30 minutes. 3M Chairside Zirconia (3M) was marketed in 2019 and offers improved esthetics and high strength for monolithic zirconia restorations with an efficient processing time.

This investigation will be a longitudinal clinical trial to study the long-term clinical performance of CAD/CAM restorations. Lithium disilicate chairside CAD/CAM onlays (IPS emaxCAD/Ivoclar) will be adhesively bonded using a selective enamel etch technique with a universal adhesive (3M) and a resin cement (3M). Full contour zirconia crowns (3M Chairside Zirconia/3M) will be cemented using a self-adhesive technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Functional long-term properties clinical performance of restorations (onlays and crowns) [Change from baseline] [3 years]

    Evaluations according to FDI criteria (Hickel et al., 2010) [1: Clinically excellent, 2: Clinically good, 3: Clinically sufficient, 4: Clinically unsatisfactory, 5: Clinically poor] Functional properties (anatomical form, material fracture, retention, margin adaptation, occlusal contour and wear, proximal contact and contour); visual and/or tactile assessment by two independent examiners, patient interview]

  2. Esthetic properties of restorations (onlays and crowns) [Change from baseline] [3 years]

    Evaluations according to FDI criteria (Hickel et al., 2010) [1: Clinically excellent, 2: Clinically good, 3: Clinically sufficient, 4: Clinically unsatisfactory, 5: Clinically poor] Esthetic properties (surface luster, surface staining, margin staining, color match, translucency)

  3. Biologic properties of restorations (onlays and crowns) [Change from baseline] [3 years]

    Evaluations according to FDI criteria (Hickel et al., 2010) [1: Clinically excellent, 2: Clinically good, 3: Clinically sufficient, 4: Clinically unsatisfactory, 5: Clinically poor] Biological properties (post-operative sensitivity, recurrence of caries, erosion, abfraction); visual and/or tactile assessment by two independent examiners, patient interview]

  4. Short-term post-operative sensitivity [Change from baseline] [up to 4 weeks after baseline]

    Rating scale [1: No sensitivity, 2: Slight sensitivity, 3: Moderate sensitivity, 4: Severe discomfort]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Gingival index [3 years]

    Loe & Silness Index, 1963 [0: normal gingiva, 1: mild inflammation and no bleeding, 2: moderate inflammation and bleeding, 3: severe inflammation]

  2. Plaque index [3 years]

    Silness & Loe Index, 1964 [0: plaque detectable in the gingival area, 1: plaque recognized only by running tip of probe across tooth surface at gingival crest, 2: moderate accumulation of plaque visible along gingival margin and adjacent tooth, 3: abundance of plaque visible along gingival margin and adjacent tooth]
