Clinical Investigation on Zirconia-ceramic Three-unit Bridges With CAD-on Veneering

February 11, 2020 updated by: Ivoclar Vivadent AG

A Randomized Clinical Trial of 3-unit Posterior Zirconia-ceramic Fixed Dental Prosthesis (FDPs) Veneered With Layered and Milled (CAD-on) Veneering Ceramics

60 bridge frameworks are CAD/CAM manufactured from zirconia-ceramic; 30 bridges are veneered with CAD/CAM fabricated lithium disilicate ceramic, 30 bridges are manually layered. The goal is to compare clinical survival , biological or technical behaviour of the restorations.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Randomized prospective controlled clinical study with three-unit posterior bridges made of zirconia-ceramic to compare veneering with manually layering or CAD/CAM fabricated lithium disilicate ceramic veneers. The hypothesis is that there is no difference in clinical survival of the restorations and no difference in biological or technical behaviour.
