Clinical effects of full crown prosthesis on anterior teeth / 中华医学美学美容杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of anterior teeth repair of three different restorations made of Co-Cr alloy,Ag-Pd alloy and all-ceramic crowns.Methods 90 cases who needed the both maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth restarations were selected and treated respectively with Co-Cr alloy porcelain fused to metal crowns (PFM)(60 teeth),Ag-Pd alloy PFM (46 teeth)and IPS e.max Press Porcelain full crown (38 teeth).Gingival index was observed before restoration and in 6 and 12 months after restoration.Meanwhile,clinical indicators of two restorations were evaluated as cervical margin's coloration,margin fitness degree,color of restorations,fracture of restorations and contour of restorations,etc.Results The healthy condition of gingiva in groups of Ag-Pd alloy PFM and IPS e.max Press Porcelain full crown were superior to the group of Co-Cr alloy PFM (P＜0.05).There was no cervical margin's coloration in groug of all-ceramic PFM.The color and contour of this group was superior to the group of Co-Cr alloy PFM (P ＜0.05).The significant difference between group of Co Cr alloy and group of Ag-Pd alloy was cervical margin's coloration and marginal density of the restoration (P＜0.05).Conclusions The clinical effects of both groups of Ag-Pd alloy PFM and IPS e.max Press Porcelain full crown is superior to the group of Co-Cr alloy PFM.The IPS e.max Press Porcelain full crown group works best.
