Purpose: Few studies have investigated the marginal accuracy of 3-unit zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs) fabricated by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal fit of zirconia FPDs made using two CAD/CAM systems with that of metal-ceramic FPDs.
Materials And Methods: Artificial resin maxillary central and lateral incisors were prepared for 3-unit FPDs and fixed in yellow stone. This model was duplicated to epoxy resin die. On the resin die, 15 three-unit FPDs were fabricated per group (45 in total): Group A, zirconia 3-unit FPDs made with the Everest system; Group B, zirconia 3-unit FPDs made with the Lava system; and Group C, metal-ceramic 3-unit FPDs. They were cemented to resin dies with resin cement. After removal of pontic, each retainer was separated and observed under a microscope (Presize 440C). Marginal gaps of experimental groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan test.
Results: Mean marginal gaps of 3-unit FPDs were 60.46 µm for the Everest group, 78.71 µm for the Lava group, and 81.32 µm for the metal-ceramic group. The Everest group demonstrated significantly smaller marginal gap than the Lava and the metal-ceramic groups (P<.05). The marginal gap did not significantly differ between the Lava and the metal-ceramic groups (P>.05).
Conclusion: The marginal gaps of anterior 3-unit zirconia FPD differed according to CAD/CAM systems, but still fell within clinically acceptable ranges compared with conventional metal-ceramic restoration.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how different printing orientations affect the fit and gaps of a 3-unit interim fixed partial denture created using two additive manufacturing methods compared to traditional milling.
- A digital design was printed using stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) technologies, with measurements taken for gaps in various orientations, while milling served as a control.
- Results indicated that SLA produced comparable fit to milling across all orientations, whereas DLP showed significantly larger gaps, suggesting SLA is more reliable for dental applications.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of cantilever prosthetic arm on the marginal bone loss (MBL) over time around dental implants supporting short fixed partial dentures (FPDs), in a record-based retrospective study.
Methods: All cases of 3-unit implant-supported FPDs, supported by 2-3 implants, from the database of cases treated at one specialist clinic were considered for inclusion. Only implants with a minimum of 36 months of radiological follow-up were considered.

Statement Of Problem: Strength-gradient zirconia combining 3 zirconia formulations with different flexural strengths has been reported to have outstanding mechanical properties. However, data concerning the effect of different sintering protocols on the fracture strength of 3-unit monolithic gradient zirconia fixed partial dentures (FPDs) are sparse.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to test the effect of different sintering protocols on the fracture strength of 3-unit monolithic gradient zirconia FPDs.

Purpose: To evaluate the vertical misfit, stress distribution around dental implants, and cantilever fracture strength of 3-unit implant-supported cantilever fixed partial dentures (FPDs) using frameworks made from different materials and manufacturing techniques.
Materials And Methods: Forty FPDs were fabricated and divided into 5 groups (n = 8) based on the framework material used: LAS Co-Cr (Conventional casting-laser welding); TIG Co-Cr (Conventional casting -TIG welding); OP Co-Cr (Conventional casting-one-piece); CAD Co-Cr (CAD-CAM); and CAD Zr (CAD-CAM ZrO). The vertical misfit was evaluated before porcelain application (T1) and before (T2), and after thermomechanical cycling (T3) by stereomicroscopy.
