Abstract

Objective The aim of this prospective clinical 5-year study was to evaluate the long-term behavior of monolithic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-fabricated minimally invasive polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) inlays and partial coverage restorations (PCR). Material and methods Posterior teeth of 47 patients were restored with 103 restorations (45 inlays, 58 PCRs). After defect-oriented preparations, monolithic PICN restorations of VITA Enamic were fabricated with a CAD/CAM system (inEoS blue/CEREC inLab MCXL) and adhesively bonded (Variolink II). Clinical reevaluations were so far performed at baseline and 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after insertion according to modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Absolute failures were demonstrated by Kaplan-Meier survival rate and relative failures by Kaplan-Meier success rate. A logistic regression model was adjusted for modified USPHS criteria to investigate time and restoration effects (p < 0.05). Results After an observation time of 3 years, survival rates were 97.4% for inlays and 95.6% for PCRs. Three restorations had to be replaced due to clinically unacceptable fractures. Secondary caries and debonding were not observed. The 3-year Kaplan-Meier success rate was 84.8% for inlays and 82.4% for PCRs. The decrease in marginal adaption (p = 0.0005), increase in marginal discoloration (p < 0.0001), and surface roughness (p = 0.0005) over time were significant. Color match and anatomic form were excellent. No significant differences were found between both types of restorations for survival (p = 0.716) and success rate (p = 0.431). Conclusions Minimally invasive PICN restorations showed a favorable clinical performance over an observation period of 36 months. However, clinical long-term data have to be awaited.
