Ceramic Partial Coverage Crowns in Restoring Endodontically-Treated Posterior Teeth (Controlled clinical study)

This study designed to evaluate the clinical outcome of ceramic partial coverage restoration versus the conventional ceramic crown, assessing the clinical success in function, evaluating the health of periodontioum and the success of Root Canal Treatment in relation to the adequacy of coronal seal.the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),physical activity and total screen time. All ceramic partial coverage restorations total of 120 has placed to restore Endodonticaly treated posterior teeth in graduate training program in Prince Abdulrahman Advanced Dental Institute, each patient have received root canal treatment and referred to have final restorations in clinic of Advanced general dentistry training program and in advanced Restorative Dentistry graduate program .
