Objectives: Numerous studies have been conducted on the adaptation of dental restorations fabricated by additive (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM); however, the results are conflicting. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the fit and trueness of fixed restorations made by AM compared to SM.
Data: Studies investigating internal fit, marginal fit, and trueness of fixed prostheses were involved.
Purpose: The study aims to produce CAD-CAM reference samples for shade communication milled from the material of the restoration zirconia (ZrO2) and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) and evaluate the color difference with the corresponding conventional Vita Classical (VC) shade tab. Furthermore, it aims to verify the color consistency of the materials.
Materials And Methods: Five-five samples were milled out of ZrO2 and ZLS in five different colors and their color parameters were compared with the corresponding VC tabs both visually and digitally.
Objective: The objective was to investigate the dimensional stability of different types of 3D printed dental models, and to measure the dimensional changes over time.
Methods: Four dental casts with different constructions were printed. The four types of models were as follows: hollow casts with 2.
