Statement Of Problem: Marginal adaptation is essential for the long-term success of dental restorations. Studies comparing the marginal gaps of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restorations made from conventional and digital impressions are limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of zirconium dioxide copings made with 2 different CAD/CAM systems, the Lava All-Ceramic System (scanning definitive dies made with conventional impressions) and the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (scanning directly from the prepared tooth). In addition, the influences of 2 different finish line configurations were also compared.

Material And Methods: Forty human molar teeth were prepared to receive complete crowns. Twenty were prepared with a 90-degree round shoulder and the other 20 with a 45-degree chamfer finish line. Zirconium dioxide copings were fabricated by using CAD/CAM technology. The specimens were randomized; they included 10 teeth with round shoulder and 10 with chamfer finish lines with the Lava All-Ceramic System, and 10 teeth with round shoulder and 10 with chamfer finish lines with the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. The marginal gaps were measured at 5 points on each side with stereomicroscopy at 40× magnification. Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA (α=.05).

Results: The mean values of the measured marginal gap for the round shoulder group were 52.66 μm with the Lava All-Ceramic System and 14.98 μm with the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. The mean values for the chamfer group were 64.06 μm for the Lava All-Ceramic System and 18.45 μm for the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. Differences were identified when the marginal gaps between the specimens with different CAD/CAM systems were compared. However, differences in the finish line design were identified only between the round shoulder and chamfer with the Lava All-Ceramic System.

Conclusions: Restorations fabricated with the Lava Chairside Oral Scanner displayed smaller marginal gaps than those made with the Lava All-Ceramic System. Nevertheless, all marginal gaps were within the range of clinical acceptability for both groups.

Objectives: To assess the clinical performance of tooth-supported 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made from shade-graded monolithic 5Y-PSZ (partly stabilized zirconia) zirconia in terms of survival rate and the quality of restorations based on modified FDI criteria over three-years.

Materials And Methods: High-translucent shade-graded monolithic zirconia (Lava Esthetic, Solventum Dental Solutions) was used to manufacture maxillary or mandibular three-unit FDPs in the posterior region (N = 22) employing subtractive milling system (Amann Girrbach). All FDPs were bonded with a universal resin cement (Rely X Universal, Solventum Dental Solutions) and evaluated 4 weeks after cementation (baseline) and after 1, 2, and 3 years.

Objective: To investigate the influence of 135° and 90° cavity design on quality of margin and marginal adaptation and microleakage of all-ceramic computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) inlays.

Methods: One hundred extracted human molars were prepared by criteria of buccal occlusal (BO) inlay. On the buccal, the mesial margin was prepared as 135° bevel while the distal margin was prepared as butt-joint.

Background: A prospective multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial was performed to digitally analyze tissue volume changes in immediately and early placed implants with simultaneous bone augmentation restored with two different all-ceramic materials.

Methods: A total of 60 patients received 60 bone-level tapered implants (BLT, Straumann AG) immediately (n = 30) or early placed, 8-10 weeks after tooth extraction, (n = 30). Implants were restored with all-ceramic single crowns fabricated out of zirconia (Lava Plus, 3M), or lithium disilicate (E.

Biomechanical behavior of all-ceramic endocrowns fabricated using CAD/CAM: A systematic review.

J Prosthodont Res

January 2024

Department of Prosthetic Dental Sciences, King Saud University, College of Dentistry, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: This study performed a systematic review to assess the biomechanical behavior of all-ceramic endowcrowns fabricated using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth.

Study Selection: Three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched by operators specializing in health sciences databases searches to answer the following focused question based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) format: "Whether all-ceramic CAD/CAM endocrowns (Intervention) used to restore human endodontically treated teeth (Population) exhibit superior fracture resistance (Outcome) compared to non-CAD/CAM all-ceramic or non-ceramic endocrowns (Comparison)." The methodological quality assessment was performed using previously conducted systematic reviews of in vitro studies.
