Abstrakt: Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of the periodontal tissues around teeth in the anterior region when restored with zirconia single crowns, using a biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT), over a 6-year follow-up.
Methods: The study investigated tooth-supported single crowns in the anterior region that were fabricated with a zirconia core and feldspathic ceramic covering, in 34 patients. Follow-up analysis took place annually for 6 years, assessing periodontal responses by evaluating the following variables: plaque index (PI); probing depth (PD); gingival index (GI); gingival thickness adjacent to the restoration; and stability of the gingival margin (MS). Any (biological and mechanical) complications were also recorded, as well as the patients' satisfaction with the treatment.
Results: After 6 years' follow-up, a low mean plaque index was obtained, probing depth was stable, and gingival thickness and margin stability had increased. Complications (biological and mechanical) did not present a statistically significant incidence and a crown survival rate of 97.2% was achieved. Patients' satisfaction obtained a mean VAS score of 9.04 under 10.
Conclusion: Teeth that are prepared with BOPT in the anterior region present good periodontal behavior around the restored teeth, particularly in terms of the stability of the gingival margin and increased gingival thickness. Single crowns prepared with BOPT obtain an excellent clinical survival rate, as well as a high score in patients' satisfaction after 6 years.
