About this trial
Wear resistance is one of the most important physical properties of teeth, and wear resistance of zirconia against artificial acrylic, enamel and composite resin denture teeth has not been clearly established.
Implant-supported dental restorations present a higher threshold for occlusion perception when compared to natural teeth, which can occlusal overload mechanisms or lead to wear of rehabilitation materials or the antagonist arch.
In clinical conditions, however, many other factors influence the complex interaction between dental enamel and opposing substrates: patient-related factors such as dietary habits, dysfunctional occlusion, masticatory forces, and bruxism contribute to accelerated enamel loss of antagonist teeth.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Wear of teeth and materials of restorations
Measure in different groups occlusal tooth wear from insertion (baseline) to 4, 8 and 12 months post-insertion Scanned images will be compared using a metrology software to determine maximum vertical wear of teeth and root mean square wear.
Secondary outcomes
Wear of different antagonists
Measure occlusal tooth wear of antagonists from insertion (baseline) to 4, 8 and 12 months post-insertion Scanned images will be compared using a metrology software to determine maximum vertical wear of teeth and root mean square wear.
