Objectives The aim of the present clinical study was to determine the stability of color and resistance against abrasion and attrition of provisional single implant restorations. Material and Methods A group of 16 patients were treated with provisional crowns made of Telio CAD. Shortly before the insertion the crowns were photographed and scanned using a 3D‐laser scanner. After 8?weeks of clinical usage, the crowns were photographed and scanned again. The vertical occlusal wear and color changes between the restorations were measured. Results The occlusal plane of the original crown showed a statistically significant reduction of 0.052?mm?±?0.037?mm 8?weeks after placement (p??.05). For the stability of color, a change in red, green and blue was described. All three scopes (red, green and blue) showed a statistically significant reduction (p??.05). Conclusions This prospective clinical study showed that Telio CAD experienced a significant occlusal reduction and color change after an intraoral placement of 8?weeks.
