Clinical Trial on Ceramic Partial Laminate Veneers With Different Luting Agents

Chile30 participantsStarted 2024-04-18

Plain-language summary

Partial laminate veneers is a type of dental restoration made of a glass-matrix ceramic used to restore small teeth fractures, or to correct morphology defects of teeth (i.e.: diastema, conoid teeth or small misalignment). As tooth surface reduction, or tooth preparation is not needed for this type of restoration, it can be considered as a non-tooth preparation minimally invasive procedure. As non-preparation is required for the restoration with ceramic partial laminate veneers, bonding relies on adhesion between the intaglio surface of the ceramic restoration and the tooth surface, which in most of the cases is enamel. For this purpose, many light-curing resin cement materials are available for bonding procedures. Nowadays, pre-heated resin composites are available as a resin luting material which has been indicated for laminate veneers and partial indirect posterior restorations. As pre-heated resin composite has not been yet studied for partial laminate veneers, the objective of this randomized split mouth clinical trial, is to evaluate the survival of ceramic partial laminate veneers when bonded with two different resin composite luting agents.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over 18 years * Patients able to read and sign an informed consent. * Patients willing to come back to check-ups. * Patients without active caries lesions or periodontal disease. * Patients that need to restore their anterior maxillary teeth (upper incisors or canines) due to small fractures, misaligned teeth, conoid teeth or diastema. * Non-vital teeth will also be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with active caries lesions or periodontal disease. * Patients with occlusal disfunction or uncontrolled parafunctional habits. * Patients unwilling to come back to checkups.

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?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

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.
