About this trial
The objectives of the present prospective randomized clinical study are to evaluate and to compare the survival and success rates, possible biological and technical complications, and the clinical performance of metal-ceramic, monolithic zirconia and resin-matrix posterior crowns.
The null hypothesis is that no differences would be found between the parameters studied for each type of restoration.
