title: A 2-year clinical follow-up study of IPS Empress ceramic inlays.
abstract: This study evaluated the clinical quality of 62 Empress restorations placed for 18 patients. Patients were evaluated for caries and fracture by two investigators at 7 and 26 months using the CDA quality evaluation criteria in additional to periodontal criteria. The results indicated a large number of excellent ratings for color and surface, but lower ratings for anatomic form and marginal integrity.
