[A two-years clinical observation of all-ceramic restorations using Vita In-Ceram glass-infiltrated ceramic].
OBJECTIVE
This paper observed the clinical effect of Vita In-Ceram glass-infiltrated ceramic restorations.


METHODS
A total of 194 restorations (124 maxillary and 70 mandibular prostheses) made with Vita In-Ceram glass-infiltrated ceramic were examined in 45 patients. There were 165 anterior tooth crowns, 21 posterior tooth crowns, and 8 FPDs. Surface, color, anatomic form, and marginal integrity of restorations were assessed at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after cementation with the California Dental Association (CDA) quality assessment evaluation system.


RESULTS
It showed that the marginal fitness, color stability and strength of crowns were considered to be satisfactory. Only 0.01% (two crowns) were not acceptable. Two FPDs were not acceptable at 6-month visit, however, the anterior FPDs were considered to be satisfactory.


CONCLUSIONS
It is possible to constructexcellent all-ceramic prostheses with the Vita In-Ceram glass-infiltrated ceramic system.
