Seventy-four restorations - 37 IPS and 37 D - were cemented in 34 patients. Twenty-four premolars and 50 molars received Class II cavity preparations, totaling 28 onlays and 46 inlays. The restorations were evaluated by two independent investigators at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year, according to modified USPHS criteria. Fisher and McNemar statistical tests were employed to assess the survival rate.
After one year, 100% of the restorations were assessed and all the restorations were considered clinically excellent or acceptable. Among the analyzed criteria, only the following received "Bravo" ratings: marginal discoloration: IPS (24.32%), D (13.51%); marginal integrity: IPS (10.81%), D (8.11%); color match: IPS (5.41%), D (5.41%); surface texture: IPS (2.70%), D (10.81%). No "Charlie" or "Delta" scores were given to the restorations.
Among the analyzed criteria, only marginal discoloration differed statistically significantly from the results of the baseline examination for IPS Empress ceramic restorations (p = 0.008). No significant differences were found between the two ceramics. The two ceramic systems demonstrated excellent clinical performance after a period of 1 year.
