Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate surface texture (ST) and clinical performance (CP) of milled biocompatible high-performance polymer (BioHPP) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) single posterior crowns veneered with two different techniques.
Materials and methods: A total of 32 patients requiring posterior crowns were divided randomly into two equal groups (n = 16) according to the veneering technique used. The manual group included patients receiving milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with manual layering, and the computer-aided designing (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) group included patients receiving milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with CAD/CAM composite resin [high impact performance composite (HIPC)]. Surface texture and CP were evaluated at cementation time and every 6 months for 1-year follow-up period.
Results: Both veneering techniques performed comparably in terms of maintaining ST and CP for 1-year follow-up. Regarding ST, the results (p = 0.8993) indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in the survival patterns between the two groups over the study period. Also, for CP, there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.9999) between the CAD/CAM composite resin veneered and manually veneered BioHPP PEEK copings over the study period.
Conclusion: Milled BioHPP PEEK copings veneered with manual veneering and CAD/CAM composite resin veneering showed clinically accepted ST and CP after 1 year of follow-up.
Clinical significance: Polyetheretherketone veneered crowns are a valid treatment option for restoring posterior endodontically treated teeth when properly finished and polished following the manufacturer's recommendation.

期刊介绍：
The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice (JCDP), is a peer-reviewed, open access MEDLINE indexed journal. The journal’s full text is available online at http://www.thejcdp.com. The journal allows free access (open access) to its contents. Articles with clinical relevance will be given preference for publication. The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles, rare and novel case reports, and clinical techniques. Manuscripts are invited from all specialties of dentistry i.e., conservative dentistry and endodontics, dentofacial orthopedics and orthodontics, oral medicine and radiology, oral pathology, oral surgery, orodental diseases, pediatric dentistry, implantology, periodontics, clinical aspects of public health dentistry, and prosthodontics.
