    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical outcome of three esthetic implant-supported crown systems fabricated with semi-digital workflow and their influence on the clinical outcome of dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 30 participants had received dental implants restoring missing maxillary first/second premolars. After 6 weeks, customized zirconia abutments were early loaded. Two months later, the definitive crowns were fabricated using semi-digital workflow and cemented. According to the crown material, 3 groups were randomly allocated; group (Z): ultrahigh-translucent monolithic zirconia, group (C): resin-matrix ceramic and group (P): polyetherketoneketone veneered with light-cured composite resin. Clinical outcomes including the survival and success rates were evaluated at baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. RESULTS: The survival rate for all studied groups was 100%, while their success rate was 100% for group (Z) and 90% for group (C) and group (P). Based on the functional implant prosthodontic score, a statistically significant difference was detected between group (Z) and group (P) (p < 0.001) as well as between group (C) and group (P) (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The zirconia group had the most favorable clinical behavior, while the polyetherketoneketone had the least. All crown systems had comparable success rates with similar values of the peri-implant marginal bone loss. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Using semi-digital workflow, ultrahigh-translucent monolithic zirconia, resin-matrix ceramic and polyetherketoneketone veneered with light-cured composite resin can be considered as favorable implant-supported crowns. The implant-supported crown system based on polyetherketoneketone veneered with light-cured composite resin is counted as a promising esthetic and restorative option.
