Methods: Systematic search was conducted using the electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane library. Data regarding survival (restoration failure) and complication rates and PROMs were extracted and presented descriptively. Results: Altogether 42 studies were included in the analysis (28 with FC, 12 with PC and 2 with both types of restorations). For FC restora- tions the estimated annual failure rate was 0.72 (95%CI: 0.33–1.57), resulting in a 5-year survival rate of 96.4% (95%CI: 92.4–98.3). For PC restorations, the estimated annual failure rate was 0.62 (95%CI: 0.27–1.46), resulting in a 5-year survival rate of 96.9% (95%CI: 93.0–98.7). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding survival or technical complications, while significantly fewer biological complications were observed with PC compared to FC restorations (test for subgroup differences, p=0.01). Conclusions: FC and PC restorations showed high 5-year survival rates but the teeth restored with FC restorations may be more prone to biological complications. INTRODUCTION The desire for esthetic appearance has been guiding the dental treat- ments and the development of prosthetic materials over the past decades. Harmonious smile can be achieved by re-creating the ideal tooth morphol- ogy and soft tissue contour according to an esthetic checklist. 1 Metal-ce- ramic restorations were introduced in 1960’s followed by reinforced glass ceramics and polycrystalline ceramic materials several decades later. 2 Ad- ditionally, the development of computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods has been increasing the options for esthetic materials available and enabling the efcient workfow including chair-side options. 3,4 Keywords Survival Full Crown Veneer Anterior Complication Rates Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Authors Jenni Hjerppe * (DDS, PhD) Francisco Martínez Rus ‡ (DDS, PhD) João Pitta § (DDS, MAS) Stefanie von Felten ^ (PhD) Mutlu Özcan † Δ (Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c., PhD) Guillermo Pradíes ‡ (Prof, Chair, DDS, PhD) Address for Correspondence Francisco Martínez Rus ‡ Email: framarti@ucm.es * Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland ‡ Department of Conservative and Prosthetic Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain § Division of Fixed Prosthodontics and Biomaterials, University Clinics for Dental Medicine, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland ^ Department of Biostatistics at Institute of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention, University of Zürich, Switzerland † Division of Dental Biomaterials, Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Δ Clinic of Masticatory Disorders and Dental Biomaterials, Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Received: 02.06.2023 Accepted: 16.08.2023 doi: 10.1922/EJPRD_2582Hjerppe25
