Brief Summary

This investigation will be a longitudinal clinical trial to study the association of preparation design on the internal and marginal adaptation of the resulting restorations and the long-term clinical performance of chairside CAD/CAM endocrown restorations. Advanced lithium disilicate chairside CAD/CAM endocrowns (CEREC Tessera/Dentsply Sirona) will be adhesively bonded using a selective enamel etch technique with a universal adhesive (Prime and Bond Elect/Dentsply Sirona) and a dual cure resin adhesive cement (Calibra Ceram/Dentsply Sirona). All restorations will be followed over five years of clinical service.

Conditions

Endodontically Treated Teeth

Keywords

Ceramic; Crown; Endocrown

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Restoration Failure

  Restoration failure is scored by visual loss of the crown from the tooth requiring replacement of the study crown with a new crown at any time between delivery and three years.

  from delivery of the crown up to 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Restoration Loss of Retention

  from delivery of crown up to 3 years

• Margin Staining

  from delivery of crown up to 3 years

Study Arms (2)

Endocrown Onlay Restoration

EXPERIMENTAL

Endocrown onlay preparation = Buccal and lingual walls are intact with an occlusal-gingival height at least equal to half the original crown height of the tooth. Remaining buccal and lingual walls maintain a thickness ≥ 2.0 mm.

Device: CEREC Tessera

Endocrown Shoulder Restorations

EXPERIMENTAL

Endocrown shoulder preparation = Buccal and/or lingual walls are less than half the original occlusal-gingival height of the tooth or the buccal or lingual surfaces were previously prepared axially due to a prior restoration.

Device: CEREC Tessera

Interventions

CEREC Tessera DEVICE

Full ceramic endocrown restorations will be made from the high strength ceramic, CEREC Tessera

Endocrown Onlay Restoration; Endocrown Shoulder Restorations
