NCT01974362

Brief Summary

In patients that did a full mouth implant supported rehabilitation does Cad/Cam Monolithic Zirconia compared to Cad/Cam Zirconia Suprastructure (zirconium oxide (Yttrium - partially stabilized with tetragonal polycrystalline structure) veneered with feldspathic ceramic, has less post-insertion complications after at least 1-Year follow-up ?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Total Amount of Chipping

    measure the total number of ceramic fractures (chipping) visible at naked eye in both groups (monolithic and feldspathic) that happen from insertion (baseline) to last follow-up visit Primary outcomes are defined as survival and success rates of the final prosthesis. For evaluation of these outcomes, an analysis variable will be used (Mendez Caramês et al., 2016): if no alterations are present, the prosthesis will be recorded as "Alpha"

    at least 1-Year post-insertion

  • Number of Small Complications

    Measure the total amount of adverse events other than chipping, that made the patient come to the dental office, that happen from insertion (baseline) to last follow up visit It is determined that if the complication was solved in the dental chair is considered a Small complication/minor chipping - not requiring any intervention besides polishing or recontouring without the need for prosthesis retrieval-"Bravo" classification will be attributed

    at least 1-year post-insertion

  • Number of Big Complications

    Measure the total amount of adverse events other than chipping, that made the patient come to the dental office, that happen from insertion (baseline) to last follow up. It is determined that if the complication was solved in the dental laboratory is considered a big complication/major chipping - a "Charlie" classification will indicate the occurrence of major chipping, need for prosthesis retrieval and laboratory intervention;

    at least 1-Year post Insertion

  • Number of prosthesis failures

    a "Delta" classification will be attributed when fracture of the framework is present, defining a non-surviving prosthesis

    at least 1-year post insertion

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Biological complications

    at least 1-Year post insertion
