About this study
Study aim is to compare Lava Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Milling Computer Aided Machining (CAD/CAM)crowns that are veneered (covered) with porcelain that has been milled using CAD/CAM, with similar CAD/CAM Lava crowns that have been veneered with a hand fabricated porcelain covering.
Read the detailed description
Veneers will be randomly allocated to study crowns. Study crowns will be evaluated over three years. The test porcelain veneer is CAD/CAM milled as a veneer shell that is then fused to the CAD/CAM milled Lava crown to make the final crown to be cemented in the patient's mouth. This may be a more predictable technique in the fabrication of Lava crowns than current conventional methods.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Clinical Performance of Crowns Via Modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) Criteria
Performance reported as the % of teeth with perfect (alpha/A) scores. USPHS criteria: Color Match ( A=Ideal, B=perceptible mismatch but acceptable, C=obvious mismatch and unacceptable); Margin Adaptation (A=no visible crevice, B=crevice along <50% margin>1mm depth, C=crevice along>50% margin >1mm depth); Margin discoloration (A=none, B=Surface stain non penetrating, C=Penetrating; Surface Finish (A=smooth, B=moderately uniformly rough, C=significant pitts/voids; Crown Fracture (A=none, B=small but repairable, C= coping exposed/complete delamination; Proximal Contact (A=firm resistance to floss/ideal contact, B=light resistance/variable breadth, C=open; Sensitivity (A=none, B= slight but not uncomfortable, C=severe; Caries (A=no evidence, B= evident but repairable, C=evident/not repairable.
Measured: 1 year
Gingival/Periodontal Health Based on Loe & Stillness Index, 1963.
Performance reported as the # of crowns exhibiting 0, 1, 2 and 3 index score. Gingival Index (0=normal, 1=mild inflammation, 2=moderate inflammation, 3=severe inflammation. Plaque Index (0= none, 1= observed only via probe at on tooth surface at gingival crest, 2=moderate accumulation along gingival margin and adjacent tooth, 3= abundant plaque along gingival margin and adjacent tooth.
Measured: 1 year

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Dec 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
