Decayed Teeth, Endodontically Treated Teeth, Single Posterior Crowns

Brief summary

It has been demonstrated that a great amount of tooth structure is lost during the prosthetic preparations of abutments for full-coverage FDPs with tooth substance removal of 63% of 73%, this aggressive loss of tooth structure usually accompanied with pain and post-operative sensitivity. In comparison with the vertical preparation technique, there is less amount of tooth substance loss. this clinical study will provide benefits for practitioners and clinicians by guiding them to choose a more conservative treatment plan with the better marginal fit, clinical performance and satisfaction for the patients on the long term. rather than other benefits like less chair time, less risk for pulp injury, less time and cost

Detailed description

A healthy relationship between dental restorations and the periodontium is of prime importance for the clinical longevity and esthetic harmony of full coverage restorations . One of the Most Common complications, derived from fixed prostheses is gingival recession, which constitutes an important clinical concern. This problem is largely associated with iatrogenic effects produced during dental preparation or as a result of poor prosthetic fit which can cause chronic inflammation leading to gingival margin recession around the restoration .

Interventions

OTHERmonolithic zirconia single posterior crowns with deep chamfer finish line

deep chamfer of 1 mm average thickness for cervical finish line, a convergence angle of 6-12° on each side and up to 20° total, in some studies, is acceptable and occlusal reduction of 1,5-2 mm

OTHERmonolithic zirconia single posterior crowns with vertical finish line

using special round-ended 2 degrees tapered diamond burs a non-working tip (batt bur). It has coronal diameter of 1.2 mm, apical diameter of 0.7 mm, and non- cutting end of 1 mm, which reduces or avoids damage to the connective attachment and allows a tooth-guided preparation procedure

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Marginal adaptation1 yearAssessed using the modified usphs criteria by Discrete (scores) Alpha (A) No visible evidences of crevice along the margins; no catch or penetration of the explorer. Bravo (B) Visible evidence of crevice and/or catch of explorer; no penetration of the explorer. Charlie (C) Visible evidence of crevice and penetration of the explorer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Fracture of the restoration1 yearAssessed using the modified usphs criteria by Discrete (scores) Alpha (A) Smooth surface of the restoration (shiny after air drying) Bravo (B) Dull surface and/or chipping of porcelain that does not impair function Charlie (C) Chipping of veneering material impairing esthetics and function and/or exposing framework material
gingival inflammation1 yearAssessed using the modified usphs criteria by Discrete (scores) Alpha (A) Normal gingiva Bravo (B) Mild inflammation - slight change in color and slight edema but no bleeding on probing; Charlie (C) Moderate inflammation redness, edema, and glazing, bleeding on probing;
