Study Summary: Comparing Traditional and Digital Crown Extension Guides for Anterior Teeth Restoration
Objective:
- Compare clinical outcomes of traditional and digital crown extension guides for aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth
- Analyze differences in results of various digital crown extension guides
Methods:
- 62 patients needing anterior teeth restoration
- Randomly divided into three groups: control, experimental group 1, and experimental group 2
- Comparison of three methods for fabricating crown extension guides
- Follow-up at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months
Results:
- Experimental group required fewer follow-up visits and less time for guide design and fabrication
- Shorter surgical time for the experimental group
- Superior results in terms of shape, color, and gingival alterations for the experimental group
- Consistent patient satisfaction with the combination of 3D printing technology and restorative techniques
Conclusion:
- Digital technology improves restorative results and patient satisfaction
- Reduces follow-up appointments and consultation time
