ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is examining the long-term performance of special dental crowns made using a technique called CAD-CAM, which stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. Specifically, the study is looking at crowns that either use a method called deep margin elevation (DME) or do not. DME is a technique that helps position the edge of the crown above the gum line, which can improve the health of the gums and the success of the crown. The trial will assess how well these crowns work over time and how they affect the health of the surrounding gums.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be adults who need a crown for their tooth, whether or not they will have the DME procedure. However, individuals with poor oral hygiene or active gum disease will not be included. Participants can expect to have their crowns and gum health evaluated through photographs and X-rays over the course of the study. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the best practices for dental crowns, ultimately helping to improve patient care and outcomes.
