Wear of the Natural Enamel
Conditions
Brief summary
evaluation of wear behavior and patient satisfaction of monolithic zirconia and zirconia reinforced glass crowns after follow-up periods 0,3,6,12 months.
Detailed description
two groups of patients will be selected according to special inclusion criteria n=13 in each group total of 26. each group will receive one of the crowns used in this study either ( monolithic zirconia or zirconia reinforced lithium silicate glass) after crown delivery wear and patient satisfaction will be recorded at 0,3,6,12 moths follow-up periods.
Interventions
It represent a new generation of glass ceramic material. Using an innovative manufacturing process the glass ceramic is enriched with zirconia (10% by weight) for dental CAD/CAM applications for the fabrication of inlays, onlays, crowns and anterior and posterior single tooth restorations on implant abutments.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| patient satisfaction | from baseline till one year | visual analogue scale (VAS): scale range from 0-10 for describing the intensity of pain the patient suffering. 0: no pain, 5: moderate pain, 10: unbearable pain. |
