Objectives: This prospective clinical trial evaluated the clinical performance of ceramic partial coverage indirect adhesive restorations (PCIARs) in posterior teeth luted with a light-cured composite resin. Methods: From April 2016 to January 2017, a total of 60 patients (27 males, 33 females; mean age: 42.2 ± 10.86 years old) received 83 glass-ceramic PCIARs (26 onlay, 57 overlay) made of IPS Emax CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent). All restorations were luted with a light-cured composite resin (Filtek Z250, 3 M ESPE) by two operators. Two independent calibrated examiners blinded to the operators performing the treatment evaluated the restorations at baseline, 1-year, and 5-year following FDI World Dental Federation criteria including esthetic, functional, and biological properties. Data were analyzed with the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon sign test (p < 0.05). Results: None of the restorations failed due to fracture or retention loss. One restoration was clinically unsatisfactory because of secondary caries. Marginal staining (p:0.000), marginal adaptation (p:0.018) showed significant differences between 1-year and 5-year recall. Conclusions: The PCIARs demonstrated excellent clinical performance at 1-year period. The degradation parameters appeared as minor staining and minor irregularities after 5-year, without any affect on the clinical performance. Clinical Significance: Our findings provide evidence that the clinical performance of PCIARs luted with a light-cured composite resin was clinically acceptable after a five-year evaluation period. Due to secondary caries, only one restoration was considered clinically unsatisfactory. ClinicalTrials registration number: : NCT04838483
