Abstract
Aim: The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the wear on opposing enamel caused by two processing methods of ZLS (zirconium-reinforced lithium silicate) VITA SUPRINITY crowns-polished and glaze-fired-when used to restore posterior teeth.
Materials and methods: The study included 26 patients requiring full coverage molar crowns. Participants were divided into two groups based on the type of occlusal surface treatment applied. Group I comprised patients who received polished ZLS crowns, while group II included those treated with glaze-fired ZLS crowns. Following final cementation, intraoral scans were performed at baseline and after 6 months, and wear measurements were analyzed using superimposition software.
Results: After a 6-month follow-up, polished crowns exhibited significantly lower wear compared to glaze-fired crowns for both the restoration (p = 0.013, effect size = 1.344) and the antagonist enamel (p = 0.041, effect size = 1.026).
Conclusion: Within the study's limitations, polished ZLS crowns exhibited minimal wear on opposing teeth, whereas glazed ZLS caused greater wear on both the restoration and antagonist enamel.
Clinical significance: VITA SUPRINITY crowns, particularly when polished with appropriate techniques, offer favorable wear resistance for both the restoration and opposing enamel, along with excellent biocompatibility.
