About

This study evaluates the survival and success rates of dental restorations fabricated exclusively using CAD/CAM technology over a period of 5 years. The study will involve placing CAD/CAM restorations using a digital workflow that includes intraoral scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). The restorations will be monitored for factors such as marginal adaptation, wear resistance, and patient-reported outcomes. The goal is to determine the long-term clinical effectiveness of CAD/CAM restorations compared to traditional methods. The findings aim to improve the understanding and application of digital dental technology in clinical practice.

CAD/CAM Restoration Arm

Experimental group

Description:

This arm involves the placement of dental restorations using CAD/CAM technology. Participants receive restorations fabricated through a digital workflow, which includes intraoral scanning, CAD software design, and milling of the restorations using CAM equipment. The restorations are made from high-quality ceramic or composite materials, chosen based on their suitability for long-term intraoral use. The process eliminates the need for conventional impression techniques, ensuring a precise fit. Participants are monitored over a 5-year period to evaluate the survival rate and success of the restorations, focusing on factors such as marginal integrity, wear resistance, and patient-reported outcomes.
