About

This study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of metal ceramic fixed dental prostheses veneered with two porcelain systems; Vintage Pro and IPS style ceram and cemented with Beautilink SA cement.

Enrollment: 28 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 21 to 80 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

6. Ability to attend all follow-up appointments
7. Adequate oral hygiene as determined by the investigator

And the following exclusion criteria:

1. Patients with active periodontal disease (probing depth > 4mm, bleeding on probing)
2. Patients with parafunctional habits (e.g., bruxism confirmed by clinical examination)
3. Poor oral hygiene (plaque index > 30%)
4. Pregnancy or nursing
5. Systemic diseases affecting treatment outcomes (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppression)
6. Known allergies to study materials (alloy, ceramic, or resin cement components)
7. Inability to comply with study requirements
