Clinical Evaluation of Resin Matrix Ceramic Posterior Crowns

The objectives of the present prospective randomized clinical study are to evaluate and to compare the survival and success rates, possible biological and technical complications, and the clinical performance of metal-ceramic, monolithic zirconia and resin-matrix posterior crowns.

The null hypothesis is that no differences would be found between the parameters studied for each type of restoration.

About this study

A total of 60 patients, in whom the placement of a crown in the posterior region of the maxilla or mandible was indicated, will be included in the study. The patients will be recruited from the Master of Buccofacial Prostheses and Occlusion (School of Dentistry; University Complutense of Madrid). Prior to treatment, patients will be informed regarding the aims of the study, the clinical procedure, the materials used, the risks and benefits of ceramic restorations and the alternatives to the proposed treatment. All the patients will be provided with a written informed consent for the inclusion in this study, Ninety posterior crowns will be produced and assigned in parallel and randomly to either resin-matrix ceramic, zirconia or metal-ceramic restorations. Three experienced prosthodontists will treat the patients. Abutment preparation will be performed in a standardized manner: circumferentially chamfer (1 mm in width), axial reduction of 1 mm, and an occlusal reduction of 1.5 to 2 mm. The tapering angle between the axial walls will be approximately 10- to 12- degrees. Full-arch digital impressions will be taken using an Intraoral Scanner. The restorations will be cemented with a resin cement. The restorations will be examined at one week (baseline), 1, 2, and 3 years, by two researchers who were not involved in the restorative treatment

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Primary outcomes

  1. Survival and success rates

    Time frame: 3 years

    Survival and success rates with Kaplan Meier method

Secondary outcomes

  1. Quality of restorations at baseline

    Time frame: Baseline

    The restorations will be assessed using the California Dental Association's assessment system, for the surface and color, anatomic form, and margin integrity.

  2. Quality of restorations at 1 year

    Time frame: 1 year

    The restorations will be assessed using the California Dental Association's assessment system, for the surface and color, anatomic form, and margin integrity.

  3. Quality of restorations at 2 years

    Time frame: 2 years

    The restorations will be assessed using the California Dental Association's assessment system, for the surface and color, anatomic form, and margin integrity.

  4. Quality of restorations at 3 years

    Time frame: 3 years

    The restorations will be assessed using the California Dental Association's assessment system, for the surface and color, anatomic form, and margin integrity.

  5. Plaque Index (PI) at baseline

    Time frame: Baseline

    Plaque Index (PI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  6. Plaque Index (PI) at 1 year

    Time frame: 1 year

    Plaque Index (PI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  7. Plaque Index (PI) at 2 years

    Time frame: 2 years

    Plaque Index (PI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  8. Plaque Index (PI) at 3 years

    Time frame: 3 years

    Plaque Index (PI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  9. Gingival Index (GI) at baseline

    Time frame: Baseline

    Gingival Index (GI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  10. Gingival Index (GI) at 1 year

    Time frame: 1 year

    Gingival Index (GI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  11. Gingival Index (GI) at 2 years

    Time frame: 2 years

    Gingival Index (GI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  12. Gingival Index (GI) at 3 years

    Time frame: 3 years

    Gingival Index (GI) of the abutment and control tooth will be assessed. A score of 0 to 3 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  13. Probing depth at baseline

    Time frame: Baseline

    Probing depth of the abutment and control tooth. A score of 0 to 4 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  14. Probing depth at 1 year

    Time frame: 1 year

    Probing depth of the abutment and control tooth. A score of 0 to 4 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  15. Probing depth at 2 years

    Time frame: 2 years

    Probing depth of the abutment and control tooth. A score of 0 to 4 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  16. Probing depth at 3 years

    Time frame: 3 years

    Probing depth of the abutment and control tooth. A score of 0 to 4 will be assigned. Higher score will mean a worse outcome

  17. Margin stability at baseline

    Time frame: Baseline

    To assess the gingival margin stability of the abutment and control tooth throughout the evaluation period (subgingival, isogingival or supragingival)

  18. Margin stability at 1 year

    Time frame: 1 year

    To assess the gingival margin stability of the abutment and control tooth throughout the evaluation period (subgingival, isogingival or supragingival)

  19. Margin stability at 2 years

    Time frame: 2 years

    To assess the gingival margin stability of the abutment and control tooth throughout the evaluation period (subgingival, isogingival or supragingival)

  20. Margin stability at 3 years
