Summary

This investigation will be a clinical trial to study the performance of a new resin-based ceramic material for crowns. The material has been approved by the FDA for patient treatment. A computer technique will be used to fabricate the crowns in a single appointment without the need for a temporary crown or second appointment. The purpose of the study is to measure how well the high strength crowns function over an extended period of time.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • must have at least one carious lesion or defective restoration or fractured tooth in a molar or premolar
  • reason for restoration should extend more than one-half the intercuspal width of the tooth requiring a full crown restoration
  • Teeth to be vital and asymptomatic prior to treatment
  • No more than two restorations will be placed per patient. If a patient presents with more than two acceptable teeth for the study, molar teeth will be included prior to premolar teeth.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Devital or sensitive teeth
  • Teeth with prior endodontic treatment of any kind
  • Teeth with a history of direct or indirect pulp capping procedures
