Abstract
Objective To identify the clinical performance of intra-coronal CEREC restorations luted with an adhesive composite technique.
Data sources Computer databases, symposium proceedings and reference lists for 1986–1997.
Study selection Trials undertaken in controlled dental practice situation, or university environment, measuring the performance of CEREC as an intra-coronal restorative were included if a thorough and consistent placement and evaluation protocol was used. In cases of multiple reporting only the latest or most detailed reported was included.
Results Fifteen of the 29 identified studies were included in the review. Fracture of the ceramic was the primary mode of failure. The most common short-term complication was thermal hypersensitivity. No meta-analysis was performed but the survival rate was estimated at 97.4% at 4.2 years.
Conclusion Machinable ceramics as used by CEREC system provide a useful restoration with a high success rate.
