NCT04855084

Brief Summary

To analyze in vivo occlusal accuracy and occlusal adjustment requirement, a cross-over clinical trial was designed. Two 3-unit tooth-supported posterior FDPs were planned to be made for each patient's single missing tooth gap, one with complete analog workflow (control group) and the other complete digital workflow (test group). The analog workflow aims for a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) FDP whereas the digital workflow aims for 3-unit monolithic Zr FDP. PFor half of the restorations, digital impression was planned to be taken first and to be followed by analog impression. As for the occlusal adjustment, in half of the study sites monolithic Zr FDPs were planned to be tried-in first, followed by metal-ceramic FDP and vice versa. One investigator (DK) was assigned to prepare the restoration sites and deliver the FDPs. All monolithic Zr and all metal-ceramic FDPs were designed and fabricated by the same experienced dental technician. One investigator (HL), that was not involved in the treatment intervention was assigned to make the 3D analysis of the volumetric occlusal adjustment amount.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The evaluation of effectiveness of workflows by assesing the occlusal registration accuracy of 3-unit FDPs that were fabricated with two different work-flows

    The occlusal registration accuracy and effectiveness of both analog and digital workflows by means of comparing quantitatively the occlusal adjustment requirement of 3-unit tooth supported metal-ceramic and Zr FDPs produced by analog work-flow use of semi-adjustable articulators with face-bow transfer and complete digital workflow, respectively

    At the baseline, the same day of delivery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Operator and Patient reported outcomes

    Impression visit and baseline visit (restoration delivery)

Study Arms (2)

Complete Digital Fixed Dental Prosthesis

EXPERIMENTAL

Following the Digital Impression using 3 Shape Trios Intraoral scanner, digital design, and manufacturing of the Monolithic Zirconia FDPs. Monolithic FDPs: before adjustment Using Intraoral Scanner, occlusal relationship assessment of the Monolithic FDPs before the occlusal adjustment. Monolithic FDPs: after adjustment Using Intraoral Scanner, occlusal relationship assessment of the Monolithic FDPs after the occlusal adjustment.

Other: Monolithic FDPs: before adjustmentOther: Monolithic FDPs: after adjustmentOther: Metal fused porcelain FDPs: before adjustmentOther: Metal fused porcelain FDPs: after adjustment

Analog Fixed Dental Prosthesis

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Following the Conventional Impression, transfer to the articulator with Face bow. Manufacturing of the FDPs with lost wax technique and veneering. Metal fused porcelain FDPs: before adjustment Using Intraoral Scanner, occlusal relationship assessment of the metal fused to porcelain FDPs before the occlusal adjustment. Metal fused porcelain FDPs: after adjustment Using Intraoral Scanner, occlusal relationship assessment of the metal fused to porcelain FDPs after the occlusal adjustment.
