Study Summary

This trial will study the best way to make and place a type of tooth restoration called an endocrown, using a machine called a CAD/CAM. The endocrowns will be made of lithium disilicate, and all restorations will be followed for five years to see how well they work.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 needing a final tooth restoration after molar root canal therapy. It's not for those with uncontrolled teeth grinding, pregnant or lactating women, people who can't commit to a 5-year study, or have certain dental conditions like untreated disease, symptoms of tooth fracture, or complications from previous root treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how different designs affect the fit and long-term success of CAD/CAM endocrown restorations made chairside using CEREC Tessera. These ceramic restorations are bonded with specific adhesives and cement and monitored over five years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the description doesn't list specific side effects, typical risks may include sensitivity in the treated tooth, potential for chipping or breaking of the restoration material, discomfort during fitting process, and rare allergic reactions to materials used.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Endocrown Shoulder RestorationsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Endocrown shoulder preparation = Buccal and/or lingual walls are less than half the original occlusal-gingival height of the tooth or the buccal or lingual surfaces were previously prepared axially due to a prior restoration.
Group II: Endocrown Onlay RestorationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Endocrown onlay preparation = Buccal and lingual walls are intact with an occlusal-gingival height at least equal to half the original crown height of the tooth. Remaining buccal and lingual walls maintain a thickness ≥ 2.0 mm.
