Summary

This study compares the survival rates of both direct and indirect resin-based composite restorations in the treatment of severe tooth wear.

Detailed description

Tooth wear can lead to pain, discomfort and unsatisfying dental attractiveness and when severe, it can compromise the dentition's prognosis. Restorative therapies for treatment of severe tooth wear should be preferably minimally invasive and adhesive. This study compares two different treatment techniques for severe tooth wear. The first technique is regarded as the 'standard' technique. This is a full rehabilitation using only direct composite restorations (AP-X, Kuraray, Japan). The second technique comprises a full rehabilitation using both direct and indirect resin composite restorations (Estenia C\&B, Kuraray, Japan). 10 indirect restorations are placed on specific elements i.e. first molars and palatal sides of all maxillary anterior teeth. Other elements are restored conform the direct protocol. An important benefit for the patients is the rehabilitation of their worn dentitions. Functionality (teeth are less sensitive, improved chewing ability, better occlusal stability, etc) and aesthetics will be improved immediately after finishing the treatment. Indirect techniques have the advantage of a superior control over form of restorations.
