Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) pretreated with nanostructured alumina coating (NAC).

The study adopts a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind design contrasting the use of NAC to air-borne particle abrasion (APA) (control) as a surface pretreatment method of zirconia RBFDPs used for replacing missing central or lateral incisors. The primary outcome evaluated is the retention/survival of the zirconia RBFDPs pretreated with APA and NAC.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Zirconia resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) have been regarded as a promising minimally invasive alternative for the replacement of missing central and lateral incisors, offering several advantages to orthodontic space closure or tooth replacement with implant-supported restorations. Debonding of the zirconia RBFDPs represents the main technical complication since clinically established airborne particle abrasion (APA) of an inert zirconia surface does not always provide sufficient resin-bond strength. Further, APA can also impair the mechanical properties of zirconia restoration affecting its long-term success. Nano-structured alumina coating (NAC) presents an alternative non-invasive zirconia surface pretreatment. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to study the effect of NAC coated bonding surface of zirconia RBFDPs affecting its debonding and clinical survival rate.

The study adopts a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind design contrasting the use of NAC to air-borne particle abrasion (APA) as a surface pretreatment method of zirconia RBFDPs. Healthy patients in need of a missing central or lateral incisor replacement are screened and rated to be eligible by two calibrated dentists. RBFDPs are randomly allocated into two groups and inserted by the same operator. The first group, where the bonding surface is pretreated with APA serves a control group. In the second group the restorations are pretreated with NAC. The participants and the operator are blinded to the group assignment in a double-blinded trial design. The primary outcome evaluated is the retention/survival of the RBFDP. Non-parametric tests and Kaplan-Meyer analysis will be used to determine differences between both study groups.

Participants Caregivers

Prior to the beginning of the study 50 identification numbers were divided into 2 groups on the basis of a computer generated tables (www.randomization.com). The two groups were then randomly allocated to the zirconia pretreatment method using a random generator. The randomization process was conducted by a staff member not involved in the research protocol. For each identification number, the selected pretreatment is written on a card contained in an opaque sealed envelope. The envelopes are stored by a study supervisor. Each envelope is opened by a dental technician after the RBFDP's zirconia framework is milled and then once again stored by the study supervisor until the conclusion of a study.
