Assessment of clinical effectiveness of esthetic restoration for discolored teeth / 中华医学美学美容杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo evaluate the esthetic and long-term effec ti veness of Cerinate porcelain(CE) and Belleglass HP (BGHP) in restoring discolore d teeth. MethodsA total of 1871 discolored teeth from 647 pat ients were restored using two materials. The observation of short-term(0.5 to l year) and long-term (over 3 years) effectiveness were followed up, and evaluat ions were made. ResultsThe short-term successful rates were 8 9.5 % and 96.75 % for BGHP CE groups, the long-term successful rates were 88.3 9 % and 96.14 %, and the difference was statistically significant (P0.005). Clinical failure, which was mainly related to t eeth category, teeth position, type of restoration and material, showed as resto ration discoloration, fracture and deciduous, etc. Conclusion BGHP shows higher shear bond strength and longer existence, but further study is required for esthetic results. CE restorations show better esthetic results and longer existence. Therefore, it is an ideal choice to restore discolored teeth.
