Abstract
English
This practice based prospective clinical study investigated the clinical performance of veneered all-ceramic crowns (VKK) with an anatomically shaped framework design and a ceramic veneer with long-term cooldown compared to metal-ceramic crowns (MKK) after ten years. Of particular interest were the aspects of survival, success and veneer fractures, as well as the examination of a possible influence of the risk factors restoration material, abutment position and abutment vitality. The data of 44 patients (19 men, 25 women) with 91 single crowns (41 MKK, 50 VKK) could be included in the evaluations. At the follow-up examination, an overall survival rate of 87% and an overall success rate of 68% were determined. During the ten-year follow-up period, 11 crown losses were documented, 6 of which had biological causes (5 x endodontic failure, 1 x extensive caries) and 5 technical causes (4 x veneer ceramic fracture, 1 x loss of retention). A total of 29 interventions on the crowns or abutment teeth were necessary. Technical complications (9 x veneer ceramic fracture > 2 mm2, 8 x veneer ceramic fracture < 2 mm2, 3 x loss of retention) occurred twice as often as biological complications (7 x root canal treatment, 1 x endodontic revision/WSR, 1 x secondary caries). Both the survival and success rates of the single crowns were independent of the chosen restoration material (MKK vs. VKK) and the jaw position (maxilla vs. mandible) in the Cox regression. Using Cox regression, significant dependencies of the survival and success rates on the abutment position and vitality could be demonstrated, with single crowns on terminally positioned crowns and on endodontically treated teeth each having the higher loss rates. After ten years, the specific success rate of the veneer fractures was 82%. Neither the restoration material nor the abutment position (maxilla vs. mandible) or the abutment vitality (vital vs. endodontically treated) had a significant influence on the frequency of veneer fractures. Cox regression showed a significant dependence of the success rate of the veneer ceramic on the abutment position. Terminally positioned abutment teeth showed significantly higher veneer ceramic fracture rates than non-terminally positioned abutment teeth. The results of this study confirm that the chosen restoration material (MKK or VKK) has no influence on the survival, success or veneer ceramic fracture rates. The importance of the abutment position (terminally positioned vs. non-terminally positioned abutments) for survival, success and the frequency of veneer ceramic fractures will have to be investigated in further studies with high-quality design and correspondingly large case numbers.
