Summary

Most dental laboratories produce few extra-coronal all-ceramic restorations, indicating a need for more training and expertise in this area. Despite low production, remake rates for these dental restorations are also low.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Ceramics
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Laboratory Technology

Background:

  • Extra-coronal all-ceramic restorations are increasingly utilized in modern dentistry.
  • Understanding dental technicians' experiences is crucial for improving fabrication processes and clinical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the experiences of dental technicians in Norway regarding the production of extra-coronal all-ceramic restorations.
  • To identify current production levels, challenges, and areas for improvement in all-ceramic restoration fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was distributed to all registered dental laboratories in The Norwegian Association of Dental Laboratory Owners (n=186).
  • Response rate was 80% (149 laboratories).
  • Data collected included production volume, remake rates, and perceived expertise in all-ceramic restorations.

Main Results:

  • 62% of responding laboratories (93 out of 149) produced all-ceramic restorations.
  • A small percentage of laboratories (17%) were responsible for the majority (67%) of the production.
  • The median reported remake rate for these restorations was low, at 2%.

Conclusions:

  • The production of extra-coronal all-ceramic restorations is concentrated in a limited number of dental laboratories.
  • There is a significant opportunity for enhanced training and skill development within the dental laboratory sector for these restorations.
  • Despite limited production volume by many, the reported low remake rates suggest a high level of technical proficiency among those performing the work.
