Minimally Invasive Treatment of Worn Dentition With Innovative CAD-CAM Composites

Minimally Invasive Treatment of Worn Dentition With Innovative CAD-CAM Composites

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a minimally invasive treatment, consisting of partial polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) restorations, used in case of rehabilitation of advanced and generalized dental wear over a period of 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients presenting advanced and generalized worn dentition
• All the posterior teeth (minus 2) present wear
• All the anterior teeth (tooth n°13 to n°23) need palatal veneers

Exclusion Criteria:

• More than one missing tooth on each mandible

• Patients with crown(s), bridge(s) or implant(s)

• Patients with non-stabilized parodontite

• Smoker

• Patients suffering from :

  1. Parkinson's Disease
  2. Severe osteoarthritis
  3. Spontaneous pain in the temporomandibular joints, shift of the mandible and an opening limit (25 mm)

• Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, or unreliability
