Newly available ceramic CAD-CAM blocs containing a screw channel for chairside-made crowns to be adhesively cemented to a TiBase abutment and screw-retained to an implant are appealing to the clinician, considering the time efficiency (one appointment) and overall lower costs as no dental laboratory is involved. The hypotheses are that the biological (BOP, PD, PCR, implant bone level) and mechanical outcomes (fracture, loss of retention, wear) are equivalent to implant screw-retained Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crowns over a 5 year observation time.This RCT will provide key information as to the cost/benefit, suitability and/or limitations of these chair-side hybrid-abutment crowns in the posterior region.
This RCT involves the University of Geneva Dental School and four private practices for which the Geneva Hospital Ethic Committee's approval is required. Patients in need for replacement of single unit posterior teeth will be recruited at the Dental School as well as in the 5 private practices based on specific selection criteria. Patients will be randomly assigned to a restorative group using a computer-generated random number table for allocation.
The CAD-CAM blocs containing a screw channel for implant-retained chairside-made single-unit hybrid-abutment crowns are 1) Lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic (e.max CAD) (G1) and 2) feldspath-ceramic infiltrated by polymer (Enamic) (G2). The CAD-CAM crowns are adhesively cemented to titanium base abutments (Ti-base) and screw-retained to Titanium implants (Straumann Standard Plus) in the premolar (RN) and molar region (WN). Controls are screw-retained PFM crowns (G3). The number of crowns in each group is N=30 (15 molars and 15 premolars) which gives a total of 90 crowns for this study.
Participants are recalled after 1 week-10 days after crown insertion (baseline, T0) and then yearly during 5 years (T1-T5). Digital X-Rays are taken at T0, T1, T3 and T5 with repositionable individual resin bite registrations.

|---|---|---|---|
| Arm 1: Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) | Active Comparator | Implant screw-retained PFM crown fabricated by a laboratory using a gold coping cast-on synOcta gold abutment (Ceramicor) for wide (WN) or regular (RN) neck |
|
| Arm 2: Hybrid abutment Lithium disilicate (e.max CAD) | Experimental | Hybrid crown abutment: chairside-made perforated CAD-CAM Lithium disilicate crown (IPS e.max CAD LT A16) adhesively cemented to a TiBase and screw-retained to a Straumann titanium implant (regular and wide neck) |
|
| Arm 3:Hybrid abutment ceramic polymer infiltrated (Enamic) | Experimental | Hybrid crown abutment: chairside-made perforated CAD-CAM ceramic-polymer infiltrated crown (Enamic) adhesively cemented to a TiBase and screw-retained to a Straumann titanium implant (regular and wide neck) |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PFM Crowns on gold coping cast-on | Device | Classic impressions are taken by the operators and sent to one and same laboratory who will deliver all the screw-retained PFM restorations. The crowns will be made using a gold coping cast-on synOcta gold abutment (Ceramicor) for wide (WN) or regular (RN) neck |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| survival | The primary aim is to monitor and compare the survival of the two CAD-CAM hybrid abutment crown materials with that of PFM implant screw-retained crowns in the posterior region over a period of 5 years. The survival data is subdivided into "absolute failures" needing replacement of the restoration and "relative failures" which include complications that could be repaired. | 5 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Occlusal surface wear | Surface wear generated at occlusal contacts from antagonist teeth will be monitored using silicone replicas of the crowns poured with epoxy resin and gold-cotaed for scanning electron microscopy. The contact wear surface will be expressed in mm^2. The average roughness in Ra values. | 5 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Bone level | Bone level changes in mm will be monitored through standardized X Rays from registration bites at various time frames (T1, T3 and T5 years) | T1, T3 and T5 years |
