Survival and Success of CAD/CAM Restorations After 5 Years of Intraoral Use
Sponsor: Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki
Summary
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.

Interventions
CAD/CAM Digital Restoration Placement
This intervention involves the placement of dental restorations exclusively using CAD/CAM technology, which includes digital scanning, design, and milling of the restorations. The restorations are fabricated from high-quality ceramic or composite materials that are commonly used in CAD/CAM systems. The process begins with an intraoral scan to capture the patient's dental anatomy, followed by the design of the restoration using CAD software, and milling with CAM equipment. The restorations are then adjusted, finished, and cemented intraorally. This intervention is distinct as it utilizes a fully digital workflow without the use of conventional impression techniques, aiming to assess the long-term clinical performance, survival rate, and success of these restorations over a period of 5 years. The study monitors factors such as restoration integrity, marginal adaptation, wear resistance, and patient-reported outcomes
Study of the Survival and Success of Endodontic Posts Using the CAD/CAM Digital Method After 5 Years of Intraoral Use
This intervention involves the exclusive use of the CAD/CAM digital method for fabricating and placing endodontic posts. The study evaluates the long-term survival and success rate of these posts over a period of 5 years in an intraoral setting. This method is distinct as it eliminates the need for traditional impression techniques, utilizing digital scanning and milling for precise and consistent post fabrication. The focus is on comparing outcomes with those of conventional analog methods to establish the efficacy and reliability of the CAD/CAM approach.
