About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of two finish line designs (feather edge and rounded shoulder) in relation with two occlusal designs (flat and planar) in endodontically treated teeth restored with zirconia crowns.

Read the detailed description

Several studies have been investigating the effect of preparation design and its relation to the marginal adaptation. Habib et al 2014 compared the accuracy of marginal and internal adaptation of zirconia copings fabricated on anatomic (A), semi-anatomic (SA) and non-anatomic (NA) occlusal surface preparations. The internal \& marginal fit were measured under electron microscope at 9 standardized areas .The anatomical occlusal preparation had better marginal and internal adaptation of Zr copings. Lima et al 2018 studied the influence of two different occlusal preparation designs on the marginal adaptation of CAD-CAM onlay restorations. The conventional anatomical occlusal preparation with a 1.2-mm modified shoulder finish line extending on the buccal surface and modified preparation flat cuspal reduction without shoulder finish line. The results showed that the conventional anatomical occlusal preparation had significantly better marginal adaptation than that of the flat cuspal preparation. Succeeding these studies, it was of interest to investigate whether or not the occlusal scheme could influence the marginal accuracy of the CAD/CAM crowns fabricated with Zirconia ceramic material.

Studies correlating between the finish line design and occlusal scheme in literature are scarce, with little evidence regarding their effect on precision fit properties of restorations. Abdullah et al 2017 evaluated the effect of using different finishing line designs with different occlusal surface reduction schemes on the vertical marginal fit of full contour CAD/CAM zirconia crown restorations. They found a direct correlation between both the finish line geometry and the occlusal design. In recent literature, the use of feather edge finish line with all ceramic restorations is a point of conflict. Fuzzi et al 2017 studied the nanoleakage and internal adaptations of lithium disilicate and zirconia crowns with featheredge finish lines. They recommended only zirconia with this finish line configuration due to its high fracture resistance when used in thin sections. Thus, the current study was conducted to examine this finish line effect on the marginal precision fit. Our hypothesis is there will be no difference in the clinical performance between the flat occlusal scheme with feather edge or rounded shoulder finish line and the planar occlusal scheme with rounded shoulder finish line configuration.

The rationale for carrying out the trial:

The influence of different tooth preparation designs can affect the success of the full coverage restorations. Still, there is no available research dealing with the effect of finishing line designs in combination with different occlusal reduction schemes on the marginal fit of full contour zirconia crowns.

  • Abutment with flat occlusal reduction with feather edge finishOther

    Also called Experimental: Abutment with flat occlusal reduction with shoulder finish line

    Non vital teeth require a full coverage restoration to withstand the functional stresses and prevent any further destruction of tooth/crown complex. The zirconia all-ceramic crowns yield a high flexure strength and are used as an esthetic alternative to ceramo-metallic crowns. Several studies linked the effect of preparation designs to the survival of the restoration. Others, studied the effect of the finish line geometries as deep chamfer and shoulder on the marginal integrity of restorations. The feather edge finish line is used with zirconia crowns with limited data regarding its success. However, there is no presented research dealing with the effect of finishing line designs in combination with different occlusal reduction schemes on the marginal fit of full contour zirconia crowns.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Abutment with flat occlusal reduction with feather edge finish in people with Gingival Inflammation, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clinical performance in terms of the marginal adaptation of the groups (time frame: One-Year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2022.
