NCT ID NCT06898411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how long single-tooth restorations made with IPS e.max (a type of glass-ceramic) last after being worn for more than 15 years. Researchers examined 56 people who had received these restorations between 2006 and 2010, checking their survival rate and quality. The goal is to understand the long-term durability of these dental materials.
