Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Partial laminate veneers is a type of dental restoration made of a glass-matrix ceramic used to restore small teeth fractures, or to correct morphology defects of teeth (i.e.: diastema, conoid teeth or small misalignment). As tooth surface reduction, or tooth preparation is not needed for this type of restoration, it can be considered as a non-tooth preparation minimally invasive procedure.

As non-preparation is required for the restoration with ceramic partial laminate veneers, bonding relies on adhesion between the intaglio surface of the ceramic restoration and the tooth surface, which in most of the cases is enamel. For this purpose, many light-curing resin cement materials are available for bonding procedures. Nowadays, pre-heated resin composites are available as a resin luting material which has been indicated for laminate veneers and partial indirect posterior restorations.

As pre-heated resin composite has not been yet studied for partial laminate veneers, the objective of this randomized split mouth clinical trial, is to evaluate the survival of ceramic partial laminate veneers when bonded with two different resin composite luting agents.

Detailed Description

Patients will be recruited starting the 4th of January 2021. Patients willing to enroll in this study must be over 18 years old, capable to read and sign an informed consent, willing to come back to checkups, with periodontal and pulpal health, having anterior teeth with the need of minimal morphology corrections like diastema, conoid teeth or misaligned teeth, and small fractures. Non vital teeth were not excluded. Patients will poor oral hygiene, active caries lesions are excluded.

Pre Operative Procedures. Informed consent will be given first and ask for every patient to sign it. Face and intraoral photographs will be taken. Initial polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) impressions will be performed and sent to the dental laboratory for wax-up from a digital planning analysis. Prophylaxis, new restorations, endodontic treatment and gingival surgery will be performed based on a mock-up made from bis-acrylic material.

Tooth preparation Most cases won't have tooth surface reduction or preparation. Some cases will need smoothening of the sharp angles or enamel irregularities to prevent fractures during restoration try-in. New impression will be performed with PVS impression material to obtain working models for the elaboration of ceramic partial laminate veneers (PLV) One dental technician will elaborate all the PLV according to the manufacturer instructions.

Adhesive luting procedures. Seating, adaptation and form will be checked firt. Try-in pastes will be used to control shade match of the restorations that will be adhesively luted with Variolink Esthetic (conventional light-curing resin cement), while polarized photography of a small amount of polymerized resin composite will be taken for color selection of the preheated resin composite luting agent (Enamel Plus HFO).

Intaglio surfaces of the ceramic restorations protocol:
    • Application of 9,5% hydrofluoric acid for 120 seconds.
    • 1 minute of water rinsing. 5 minutes of ultrasonic bath cleaning with distilled water.
    • Silane application (Monobond N, Ivoclar Vivadent)
    • Bonding Application (without light-curing):
  • Optibond Fl adhesive for ceramics that will be bonded with Enamel Plus HFO.

  • Tetric N bond Universal for ceramics that will be bonded with Variolink Esthetic.

    • Charge of resin cement (without light-curing)
  • Variolink esthetic according to color try-in.

  • Enamel Plus HFO will be pre heated in an hoven at 59ºC.

    • Store the restorations of light exposure.
Surface treatment of enamel and dentin (if dentin is exposed):
    • Apply 35% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds in enamel and 3-5seconds in dentin.
    • rinse profusely with water for 30 seconds.
    • air-dry
    • apply adhesive on tooth surface:
  • Dentin (if exposed): with Optibond FL primer (for restorations that will be bonded with Enamel Plus HFO), and with Tetric N Bond Universal (for restorations that will be bonded with Variolink Esthetic).

  • Enamel: continue with Optibond Adhesive for Enamel Plus HFO, and continue with Tetric N Bond Universal for Variolink Esthetic.

    • No light-curing

Restorations will be seated with small finger pressure, excesses of resin cement will be eliminated using brushes. Light-curing will be then performed using soft mode of approximately 650mw/cm2 during 3-5 seconds. A final light-curing in high mode will be performed after 3-5 minutes of waiting at approximately 1200 mw/cm2.

Polishing procedure All restorations will be polished with 2-step diamond spiral wheels (Diacomp Twist Plus, EVE) under water irrigation.

Evaluation 2 blind observers to the luting procedure performed will evaluate clinically the restorations using the modified USPHS criteria and the FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria for the evaluation of direct and indirect restorations. Also an Impact in Oral Health questionary will be applied to determine the esthetic perception of the applied treatment.

modified USPHS criteria and FDI criteria will be applied at baseline after luting the restorations and every 6 months until a completion of minimum of 24 months.

Impact in Oral Health questionary will be applied at baseline and 6 months after the treatment.

Scanning Electron Microscopy evaluation Every case will receive final impressions immediately after the treatment, and after 24 months to evaluate marginal adaptation under Scanning electron microscopy. Fractography Analysis will be performed of every failure or fracture of the restoration.

Statistical analysis Survival will be measure in percentages. Differences will be measure between baseline and final control.

Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to measure cumulative survival, and log rank (Mantel-Cox) to determine differences between the two groups (bonded with conventional resin cement vs pre heated resin composite)

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
30 participants
Allocation:
N/A
Intervention Model:
Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
In this study, two different luting resin cements will be used to bond ceramic partial laminate veneers. This is a randomized split mouth clinical trial, in which only maxillary anterior teeth will be treated with partial veneers (maximum 6 teeth, upper incisors and canines. This zone is called sector 2). For this purpose, sector 2 will be divided in two sides (right and left), and randomization will be performed to select a conventional resin cement or a preheated resin composite luting agent as the material of choice for the right or left side of the mouth to bond ceramic partial laminate veneers for every recruited patient. Number of participants is related to the number of restorations.In this study, two different luting resin cements will be used to bond ceramic partial laminate veneers.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Patients with PLV

All patients will receive ceramic partial laminate veneers as treatment. As this is a split mouth design, one side of the mouth will receive partial laminate veneers bonded with a conventional light-curing resin cement and the other side of the mouth with a pre-heated resin composite.

Procedure: Conventional Resin Cement vs Preheated Resin Composite
For this study, variolink esthetic resin cement will be used to bond ceramic partial laminate veneers in one side of the maxillary anterior teeth (left or right upper incisors and canines), while, the other side will receive ceramic partial laminate veneers bonded with a preheated resin composite

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Survival Data of Partial Laminate Veneers bonded with Conventional Resin Cement and Preheated Resin Composite [after 36 months]

      Survival data will be measured in percentages (0-100%) over the years. Kaplan - Meier curves are used to determine the moment of failure (date, months) Mantel - Cox test will be used to determine differences between the two groups

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Success Data of Partial Laminate Veneers bonded with Conventional Resin Cement and Preheated Resin Composite [after 36 months]

      Success will be clinically evaluated using the modified USPHS criteria and the FDI criteria. This criteria are used to evaluate the need of refurbishment, repair or replacement of a restoration using different categories. Scores in FDI criteria range from 1-5 with 1-3 acceptable, 4 un-acceptable but repairable and 5 need for repair.

    2. Assessment of Oral Health Impact Profile [after 12 months]

      Final outcome with Partial veneers will be measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile.
