Evaluation of the Aesthetic Outcome of Lithium Disilicate (e.Max) All Ceramic Crowns on Titanium Implant Abutments in the Aesthetic Zone After Different Color Masking Approaches
Egypt27 participantsStarted 2019-07-25
Plain-language summary
Implants have become the perfect solution for replacement of missing single teeth, partial or even complete edentulism.18 However, the dilemma of anterior implant-supported prosthesis is still not quite solved.19-21 Implant abutments are one of the esthetic influencers. And concerning the material, ready-made titanium abutments are considered the gold standard of all. Nevertheless, the esthetic properties remain doubtful. Lithium disilicate ceramics have been used as implant superstructures for many years now for their combined esthetic and biomechanical properties. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of using titanium implant abutment on the color of lithium disilicate crowns and the significance of masking the titanium abutments with opaque porcelain or using opaque lithium disilicate coping on the final esthetic outcome

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
