Brief Summary
CAD-CAM crowns made of experimental lithium disilicate (shades A1, A2 and A3) are placed in patients by using either a dual-curing adhesive or a self-adhesive luting material in combination with total etch/universal bonding agent.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Crowns With Short-term Post-operative Sensitivity
assessed by patient's weekly feedback for 4 weeks after the treatment rating sensitivity from 1 "no sensitivity" to 4 "severe discomfort noted routinely with cold or pressure stimulation"
4 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Quality Criteria (Modified FDI Criteria)
4 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Crowns self-adhesively cemented
EXPERIMENTALGroup 1 receives crowns with an occlusal thickness of 1.5 mm and luted with a self-adhesive, self-curing resin cement (SpeedCem Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent AG).
Crowns adhesively luted
EXPERIMENTALGroup 2 receives crowns with an occlusal thickness of 1.2 mm delivered with a dual-curing resin cement (Variolink Esthetic (DC),Ivoclar Vivadent AG).
Interventions
The study population is separated in two groups. The teeth will be etched in total etch mode with 37% phosphoric acid (Total Etch, Ivoclar Vivadent AG). After the application of Adhese Universal-adhesive (Ivoclar Vivadent AG), MultiCore Flow (Ivoclar Vivadent AG) will be applied. The crowns will be polished, then etched with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel (Ivoclar Vivadent AG) and conditioned with Monobond Plus (Ivoclar Vivadent AG). The crowns will be luted as described for group 1 or 2. A final intraoral polishing step will be done with OptraGloss (Ivoclar Vivadent AG). All required light-curing steps are conducted with Bluephase G4 (Ivoclar Vivadent AG).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients will be at least 18 years of age, of either gender, and of any ethnic background.
- Each patient should have at least one carious lesion or defective restoration to be restored on a maxillary or mandibular premolar or molar tooth.
- Each lesion or defective restoration should exhibit sufficient size or loss of tooth structure requiring a full crown restoration.
- The tooth should have at least one opposing tooth in occlusion and one adjacent tooth with an intact proximal contact.
- All teeth will test vital and be asymptomatic at the beginning of treatment. No more than two restorations will be placed per patient.
You may not qualify if:
- Devital or sensitive teeth
- Teeth with prior endodontic treatment of any kind
- Teeth with a history of direct or indirect pulp capping procedures
- Patients with significant untreated dental disease to include periodontitis and/or rampant caries
- Women who self-report that they are possibly pregnant, pregnant, or lactating, as elective dental treatment is not indicated at these times
- Patients with a self-reported past history of allergies to the materials to be used in the study including composite resin cements or ceramic restorative materials
- Patients unable to return for the recall appointments
