Tooth Wear:m Tooth Wear : Diagnosis- Treatment Decision

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Dental Wear
• Interventions: Device: Vita-Enamic®; Device: Clearfil Majesty TM

• Registration Number: NCT03540264
• Lead Sponsor: Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain

Brief Summary

Tooth wear is a physiological process occurring from normal functioning of the dentition throughout lifetime.

Detailed Description

The studies in the current literature indicated that both techniques of tooth preparation and the materials used are appropriate for the treatment of this condition, but the tendency is to reduce tooth preparation as reasonably possible. In this clinical trial, the investigators will compare the outcomes of direct resin composite and indirect polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network	Vita-Enamic®	This hybrid material seems to be a promising material that imitates natural tooth properties. The VITA-Enamic® will be used in this study.
Composite resin	Clearfil Majesty TM	Restoration with composite resin has shown good clinical performance and limited occlusal wear. The Clearfil Majesty will be used in the present study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Restoration	up to 3 years	by modified USPHS criteria
