ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two types of dental restorations—Yttria stabilized multilayered zirconia and lithium disilicate—to see which one matches the natural color of teeth better and which one makes patients more satisfied. These restorations are used for patients who have damaged teeth that need full coverage, such as those that have had root canals or have fractures.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 20 and 60 years old, able to understand and sign consent forms, and should not have any current dental issues like gum disease. They should also be physically and mentally able to handle dental procedures. Participants will need to come back for follow-up visits, where their satisfaction with the restorations will be evaluated. It's important to note that people with certain conditions, like poor oral hygiene or dental anxiety, may not qualify for this trial. If you are interested in participating, you would be contributing to important research that helps improve dental treatments for everyone.
