Survival and Success of CAD/CAM Restorations After 5 Years of Intraoral Use

Comparative Study of Survival and Success of Restorations Exclusively Using the CAD/CAM Digital Method After 5 Years of Intraoral Use

This study evaluates the survival and success rates of dental restorations fabricated exclusively using CAD/CAM technology over a period of 5 years. The study will involve placing CAD/CAM restorations using a digital workflow that includes intraoral scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). The restorations will be monitored for factors such as marginal adaptation, wear resistance, and patient-reported outcomes. The goal is to determine the long-term clinical effectiveness of CAD/CAM restorations compared to traditional methods. The findings aim to improve the understanding and application of digital dental technology in clinical practice.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults aged 18-65 years
• Patients with single or multiple CAD/CAM restorations placed within the last 5 years
• Adequate oral hygiene and willingness to participate in follow-up assessments
• Healthy periodontal status or controlled periodontal condition Signed informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with systemic diseases affecting oral health (e.g., diabetes, osteoporosis)
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
• Smokers or individuals with a history of heavy smoking
• Patients with untreated dental caries or advanced periodontal disease
• Individuals with previous allergic reactions to CAD/CAM materials used
