Brief Summary

Survival and success rates of all-ceramic implant-supported fixed reconstructions fabricated with CAD/CAM technology after at least one year in function.

Survival and success rates (clinical, radiologic and esthetic) of all-ceramic implant-supported fixed reconstructions fabricated with CAD/CAM technology after 2 to 10 years in function.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survival and success rates of all-ceramic implant-supported fixed reconstructions1 year

Number of all-ceramic implant-supported fixed reconstructions fabricated with CAD/CAM technology still in place after at least one year in function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients with biological complications assessed via clinical examination1 year

A clinical evaluation of the implant crowns will be performed in order to detect any kind of biological complication, namely periimplantitis and perimucositis

Number of patients with technical complications1 year

A clinical evaluation of the implant crowns will be performed in order to detect any kind of complication, namely chipping, screw loosening or abutment fracture

Number of patients with biological complications assessed via periapical x-ray1 year

A radiological evaluation of the implant crowns will be performed to measure and evaluate the bone crestal changes

Patient satisfaction as assessed by VAS A1 year

Patients assess by patient questionnaire their implant reconstructions, in terms of function by means of a Visual Analog Scale (VAS A), where the parameter will be scored from 1 to 10.

Patient satisfaction as assessed by VAS B1 year

Patients assess by patient questionnaire their implant reconstructions, in terms of esthetics by means of a Visual Analog Scale (VAS B), where the parameter will be scored from 1 to 10.

Esthetic outcome1 year

The esthetic examination included the Pink and White Esthetic Score Assessment (PES/WES) according to Belser et al. 2009 \& Furhäuser et al. 2005 on a scale from 0-10 whereas 10 means an optimal outcome.
