Abstract:
Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of IPS e.max Press ceramic endocrowns applied in individual maxillary anterior teeth malposition.
Methods Fifteen malposed maxillary anterior teeth were selected from fifteen patients in this study. All the malposed teeth had been endodontically treated and performed with ultrasonic scaling. After 1-2 weeks, the IPS e.max Press ceramic endocrowns were fabricated and cemented with resin cement. The color, shape, margin fitness, preservation of the restorations and the gingival health of the abutments were reviewed after 6 months and 12 months respectively.
Results The margins of all restorations were well sealed; the colorsand shapes of the restorations were satisfied and matched with the natural teeth; and the periodontal tissues of the abutments were healthy. Except for one case with displacement of the abutment, the remaining endocrowns were functioning well without loosening. The preservation rate of the restorations was 100% (15/15) , and the clinically acceptable rate was 93.3% (14/15) .
Conclusions Application of IPS e.max Press ceramic endocrowns in repairing individual maxillary anterior teeth malposition could obtain satisfied effects.
