About
This randomized clinical study aims to compare success and survival of two different ceramic tooth restoration materials. The hypothesis for the study is that fluoride treated zirconia will retain as good as lithium disilicate reinforced glass ceramic when cemented by the same resin cement.
One group of patients will receive a restoration in fluoride treated zirconia, the other group will receive a restoration in reinforced glass ceramic. All restorations will be cemented in the same manner. At 3, 6, 12 and 24 months the participants will be examined.
Full description
A randomized controlled clinical study that aims to compare success and survival of potassium hydrogen difluoride (KHF2) etched zirconium dioxide and lithium disilicate reinforced glass ceramic cemented to molars/premolares using dual cure resin cement.
The null hypothesis for the study is that zirconium dioxide and lithium disilicate reinforced glass ceramic will retain equally good tooth substance when cemented with resin cement.
Participants are recruited from the student clinic at Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria 1) age above 18, 2) require restoration on premolar/molar and 3) are able to come to treatment and recall, are informed about the study and invited to participate. Consent to participation are signed by the patient. At any time and for any reason participants can withdraw from the study.
Personal information will be registered in Service for Sensitive Data, which is a platform to collect, store, analyze and share sensitive data. An encoded research file will be kept separate from the patient journal.The content of this file will be patient journal number and classification of the restoration on a four level scale (Californian Dental Association - CDA) for each recall.
A randomizing tool will be used to decide which ceramic restoration each participant will receive. Treatment will be performed by one clinician. The tooth preparation will be with little retention, and preferably supragingival. For cementing the restorations a standardized protocol for a dual cure resin cement will be used.
Participants only have to pay for the dental technician expenses and will be the same amount regardless of type of ceramic.
Each participant will be examined at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months by a clinician different from the one who performed the treatment. The 4 level CDA classification will be used to characterise each restoration.
Each of the two treatment groups will consist of 20 participants. Significant results will be achieved with the approximate distribution across categories: Category 1: 19,9 %, category 2: 79,4 %, category 3: 4,6 %, category 4: 2,5 %
