Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 68 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: In the present prospective clinical study, 37 patients (16 males, 21 females) needing at least 1 posterior FDP in the maxillary and/or the mandibular arches were recruited. The mean age of patients was 45.3 ± 11.6 years, with a minimum age of 21 and a maximum of 68 years. All patients were recruited at the Department of Prosthodontics of the University "Federico II" of Naples (Italy) from November 2004 to April 2005 (baseline) and provided a written informed consent

Who may be able to join

  • good general health;
  • ASA I or ASA II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists;
  • good periodontal health;
  • Angle class I occlusal relationship;
  • minimum of 20 teeth;
  • good oral hygiene;
Show all 21Show fewer
  • no evident signs of occlusal parafunctions and/or temporo-mandibular disorders.
  • Moreover, the abutment teeth had to fulfill the following inclusion criteria:
  • periodontal health (absence of tooth mobility, absence of furcation involvement);
  • proper positioning in the dental arch (tooth axes adequate for a FDP);
  • sufficient occlusal-cervical height of the clinical crown (≥4 mm) for the retention of a FDP;
  • vital or endodontically treated to a clinically sound state;
  • opposing natural teeth or fixed prostheses.
  • Exclusion Criteria:- subjects preferring implant-supported prostheses;
  • high caries activity;
  • occlusal-gingival height of the abutment teeth <4 mm;
  • reduced interocclusal distance or supraerupted opposing teeth;
  • unfavorable crown-to-root ratio;
  • severe wear facets, clenching, bruxism;
  • presence of removable partial dentures;
  • pregnancy or lactation.

About this study

Official title: Fourteen-year Evaluation of Posterior Zirconia-based Three-unit Fixed Dental Prostheses. A Prospective Clinical Study of All Ceramic Prosthesis

The main objective of the present prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of posterior zirconia FDPs after 14 years of function.

Read the detailed description

thirty-seven patients needing to replace either premolars or molars were involved and 48 3-unit zirconia-based FDPs were fabricated. Patients included in the present clinical study met specific inclusion criteria and clinical procedures were standardized.

Frameworks with a 9 mm2 cross section of the connectors and 0.6 mm minimum thickness of the retainers were made by means of Computer Aided Design/Computer Assisted Manufacturing. A resin cement was used to lute the restorations. The patients were recalled after 6 and 12 months and then yearly up to a total follow-up of 14 years. The United States Public Health Service criteria were used in order to examine technical and esthetic outcomes. Success and survival rates

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 2 zirconia FDPsOther

    The United States Public Health Service criteria were used in order to examine technical and esthetic outcomes. Success and survival rates of the zirconia FDPs were calculated. The biological examination was performed analyzing both abutments and contralateral teeth.

  • 1 zirconia FDPOther

    The United States Public Health Service criteria were used in order to examine technical and esthetic outcomes. Success and survival rates of the zirconia FDPs were calculated. The biological examination was performed analyzing both abutments and contralateral teeth.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Survival and success rate of zirconia FDPs

    The 14-year cumulative survival rate of the zirconia FDPs was calculated by means of Kaplan-Meier analysis.

    Measured: 14 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prosthesis Survival, run by Federico II University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival and success rate of zirconia FDPs (time frame: 14 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 5 May 2020.
