Abstract: Evaluation of survival and complication rate of monolithic occlusal onlays made of lithium disilicate ceramic used in patients with severe tooth wear up to 11 years of clinical service. In a prospective non-randomized clinical study 7 patients (4 male, 3 female; median age: 44.3 ± 6.56 years old) were restored full mouth with a total of 103 adhesively bonded occlusal onlays made of lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein). All restorations were examined during annual recall visits using periodontal parameters according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria: (a) marginal discoloration, (b) secondary caries, (c) marginal integrity, (d) surface texture, (e) restoration fracture, and (f) occlusal wear, rating with Alpha, Bravo and Charlie over an observation period up to 11 years (68–139 months; median: 94.9 ± 26.1 months). Data was statistically analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier estimation. Monolithic lithium disilicate occlusal onlays presented a 100% survival rate. Four restorations within one patient (3.9%) presented marginal discoloration, one after 60 and three after 108 months (all rated Bravo). One restoration (1%) showed a marginal crack formation (technical complication) after 120 months, rated Bravo. No biological complication, debonding or secondary caries could be found and tested periodontal parameters showed excellent results. Based on the analyzed data up to 11 years, monolithic occlusal onlays made of lithium disilicate ceramic can be considered as a reliable treatment option for full-mouth rehabilitations in patients with severe tooth wear.
