Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized, controlled clinical trial is designed to analyze the wear of enamel by opposing polished monolithic zirconia crowns and by the polished veneer surfaces of metal-ceramic crowns. This single-blind pilot study will involve a total of 30 teeth that require full coverage crowns that oppose natural antagonist teeth. The objectives of this research are to test the following hypotheses: (1) differences between mean wear of antagonist enamel by polished monolithic zirconia crowns and by the polished veneer surface of metal-ceramic crowns are statistically significant; (2) differences between mean wear of antagonist enamel by opposing polished monolithic zirconia crowns and enamel by opposing enamel are statistically significant; and (3) differences between mean antagonist wear of enamel by opposing polished veneer surfaces of metal-ceramic crowns and enamel by opposing enamel are statistically significant.


Clinical Trial Description

To participate in this study a crown will need to be place on one of the back teeth. This generally occurs when the back tooth has a big filling and there is a risk for fracture of the tooth or a root canal has been performed on the tooth. An initial x-ray of the tooth and the surrounding teeth will be done to make sure that there is enough bone supporting the tooth that will be crowned. A receive local anesthesia will be used in the area where the crown will be made. The tooth area may need to be build-up with a filling material if there is not enough tooth structure remaining. Once this happens, then a high-speed drill will be used to a grind down of the tooth material using to a make smaller size of the original tooth. A small thread will be used to make space between the gums and tooth so an accurate replica of the tooth can be made. A temporary crown will be made to go over the prepared tooth and will cement until the final crown is ready to be cemented. The extra procedures will be done to measure bite force to see how much force is exerted with the teeth. Other extra procedures include the six month and yearly impressions as well as scanning of your teeth to aid in the measurement of wear. Participants will be randomly assigned (much like the flip of a coin) to receive either a crown that has metal in it or a crown that is all-ceramic. Both of these materials are considered standard of care in dental practice. ;
