The objective of this study is to assess the survival rate and the biological and technical outcomes of onlays and single crowns made out of different restorative materials on vital and non-vital teeth. The onlays are made either out of a lithium-disilicate glass ceramic (E.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent), hybrid ceramic (VITA ENAMIC, VITA Zahnfabrik) or out of a lithium aluminosilicate glass ceramic reinforced with lithium disilicate (N!ce, Straumann). The crowns are made either out of lithium aluminosilicate glass ceramic reinforced with lithium disilicate (N!ce, Straumann), hybrid ceramic (VITA ENAMIC, VITA Zahnfabrik) or lithium-disilicate glass ceramic (E.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent).

Restoration survival
Survival of the inserted restorations
Time frame: 5 years
Fractures of the restorations.
Any chipping (uncritical fractures) or critical fractures will be assessed.
Time frame: 5 years
Tooth vitality
The presence or absence of tooth vitality will be assessed by means of vitality test using cold spray.
Time frame: 5 years
Biological outcome - presence of secondary caries
Biological outcome - presence of secondary caries - of the treated teeth using magnification loops, a dental probe and radiographs.
Time frame: 5 years
Biological outcome - Bleeding on Probing
Bleeding on probing measures of the treated tooth using a periodontal probe.
Time frame: 5 years
Biological outcome - Plaque index
Assessment of the Plaque index of the treated tooth using a dental probe.
Time frame: 5 years
Biological outcome - tooth fractures
Assessment of tooth /root fractures using a dental probe and magnification loops.
Time frame: 5 years
