Additively Versus Subtractively Manufactured Implant Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses
Sponsor: Harvard Medical School (HMS and HSDM)
Summary
This research is being done to evaluate the clinical, technical, biological, and aesthetic results of two different fabrication methods (additive and subtractive) for creating implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (iFDPs). Patients will receive an iFDP, meaning an implant-supported crown, according to regular treatment protocols. The fabrication method used to create the implant-supported crown will be decided in a randomised way. Clinical and radiological examinations will be performed prior to and when receiving the implant-supported crown and during a follow-up period of 3 years. Furthermore, technician- and patient-reported outcomes will be evaluated used questionnaires.
