Abstract
Objectives
This prospective clinical trial evaluated periodontal parameters at proximal deep-margin-elevation (DME) restoration margins 2 years after placement and compared them with baseline values and with supragingival/equigingival margins (control) on the opposite proximal surface of the same tooth.
Methods
One-sided subgingival proximal defects in (pre-)molars were restored using composite DME and CAD/CAM-manufactured lithium disilicate partial restorations. Periodontal parameters (bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depths (PD), plaque index (PI)) were recorded after ceramic insertion (baseline) and at 2-year follow-up, and compared between DME and control (Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon signed rank test, p < 0.05).
Results
Sixty-eight patients with 77 restorations were included; 51 patients with 57 restorations were re-evaluated at 2 years. Two restorations were replaced (ceramic fracture, secondary caries), and one tooth developed apical periodontitis. Periodontal parameters were not significantly different at baseline. After 2 years, BOP increased significantly at the DME (padj. = 0.010), but not at controls (padj. = 0.517); but BOP was not significantly different between DME and control (padj. = 0.110). PD was significantly higher in DME vs. control (padj. = 0.015), but remained stable in both groups over the 2-year period (DME: padj. = 0.171, control: padj. = 0.517). PI increased significantly in both groups (padj. < 0.001), but did not differ between both sides (padj. = 0.341).
Conclusion
Proximal DME was associated with increased gingival inflammation at 2-year recall compared to baseline.
Clinical significance
DME is a promising approach for restoring teeth with deep proximal defects, but proximal DME is associated with increased gingival inflammation. The periodontal situation remains stable after the first year of placement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
