This investigation will be a randomized, prospective, longitudinal clinical trial to study the clinical performance of a new monolithic, zirconia material with shade, translucency and material graduation for chairside CAD/CAM crowns. The restorations will be luted either with a self-adhesive luting material or a conventional cement. The crowns will be evaluated for a period of two years.

After cavity preparation, the zirconia chairside crown will be placed using SpeedCEM Plus. The excess will be light cured with Bluephase G4 in PreCure mode (950 mW/cm\^2). After removal of the excess, the luting material margins will be light-cured again for 20s (1200 mW/cm\^2).
After cavity preparation, the zirconia chairside crown will be placed using ZirCAD Cement. The excess cement will be removed in the gel phase, either following light curing (5 - 10 seconds per segment) or following self-curing (approximately 2 min after placement). The restoration will be held in position during final curing that is complete 4 min 30 s after placement.

RECRUITINGShort-term Post-operative Sensitivity
assessed by patient's weekly feedback for 4 weeks after the treatment rating sensitivity from 1 "no sensitivity" to 4 "severe discomfort noted routinely with cold or pressure stimulation"
Time frame: 4 weeks
Quality Criteria (modified FDI criteria)
assessed following the FDI criteria on a scale from 1 "very good" to 5 "unacceptable" (e.g. post-operative hypersensitivity, surface lustre, Staining, fracture of material, retension, occlusal contour and wear, and colour match of restorations)
Time frame: 1 year to 2 years
