Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this research project is emphasize the benefit of the digital workflow compared to conventional impressions and crown processing with standard la procedures. The objectives of the present study are to measure and compare the global cost, the time spent in the dental chair and in the lab and the fit of both digital and conventional workflow. Additionally, patient centered outcomes will be recorded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Optical impression

The optical impression system used for the study is TRIOS (3 shape). First of all, the operators in charge of taking the digital impressions are going to get trained prior the study and will calibrate (learning curve). MIS Scan bodies will be placed on the multi-unit plaforms, an x-ray will be taken in order to check the fit) and the impression will be realised following the instruction given by the system (first the maxillary and mandibular impressions followed by the bite registration). Shade will be chosen using VITA toothguide 3D master (to pick the right zirconia shade).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Impression procedure

Intervention Type DEVICE

Each patient will go through both type of impression during single appointment: first the digital impression and then the conventional one (to avoid residual impression materials for the optical impressions). The time necessary for each procedure will be recorded.

Conventional impression

Once the impression coping is placed on the multi-unit plaform, the fit will be checked with an intra-oral X-ray. The impressions will be made with medium viscosity silicon. As a second step, alginate antagonist impression will be done. Bite will not be recorded (single tooth missing). The two impressions will be placed in a hermetic plastic bag and send to lab. Shade will be chosen using VITA toothguide 3D master.

Impression procedure

Intervention Type DEVICE

Each patient will go through both type of impression during single appointment: first the digital impression and then the conventional one (to avoid residual impression materials for the optical impressions). The time necessary for each procedure will be recorded.

Digital workflow

The implant crowns issued from digital impressions will be done according a cast less / full digital workflow. The STL files collected from the TRIOS will be sent directly to the lab. The designing of the full zirconia crowns will be performed in the TRIOS 3SHAPE program. The resulting files will be sent to the CAM unit production (Amman Girrbach milling machine \& MAZAK CNC machine: Mcenter to be specify (Berlin or Israel) to be milled (milled \& sintered only) considering the direct adaption for a Multi-Unit connection. A superficial make-up will be done on the monolithic crown in the lab. And finally, the products will be delivered to the dentist.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Crown manufacturing procedures

Intervention Type DEVICE

Test and control implant crowns will be screw-retained on a multi-unit abutment. The conventional crown will be made of a Zirconia framework veneered with cosmetic ceramics directly screwed on the multi-unit platform (no titanium base). The experimental crown will be made in full zirconia and designed in the TRIOS software.

Conventional workflow

The implant crowns issued from conventional impressions will be realised by sending the impressions to the lab (Mirko Picone). The lab will pour the impressions in dental stone (class 4 scannable without powdering: extra hard and scanning powder included). Then, the technician will realize a mock-up of the crown's framework on a temporary abutment in DuraLay Resin.

The mock up will be scanned with ZIRKONZAHN scanner (or equivalent) and send this information to a central fabrication facility for milling (Amman Girrbach milling machine \& MAZAK CNC machine:

Mcenter: to be specify (Berlin or Israel). The lab technician will get the Zi framework back and will apply veneer ceramic.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Crown manufacturing procedures

Intervention Type DEVICE

Test and control implant crowns will be screw-retained on a multi-unit abutment. The conventional crown will be made of a Zirconia framework veneered with cosmetic ceramics directly screwed on the multi-unit platform (no titanium base). The experimental crown will be made in full zirconia and designed in the TRIOS software.
