Purpose: To compare the dimensional accuracy of dies generated from digital intraoral scans with dies generated from conventional polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression material.
Materials And Methods: A machined metal die was impressed 10 times using PVS, and scanned 10 times using the iTero Cadent system and 10 times using the LAVA C.O.S. system. Dies generated from each system were imaged in a standardized holder using a microscope and measured with analytical software at three sites and compared with the dimensions of the master die.
Results: The dimensional differences between the master die and both the PVS and iTero groups were approximately 60 μm in all three dimensions but the Lava C.O.S. die dimensions measured close to 100 μm at two of the three sites.
Conclusion: PVS/Die and iTero groups offered superior reproduction of the master die in terms of dimensional accuracy, but these differences are likely of little clinical significance.

Objective: The use of vertical margin design in all-ceramic restoration has generated inquiries regarding its clinical efficacy under diverse dynamic oral conditions. This research aims to assess the marginal fit and fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns featuring vertical margin design as opposed to those with conventional horizontal margin design.
Materials And Methods: Two metal dies were employed to generate replicated resin dies mimicking mandibular first molar preparation.

Cryptococcal meningitis is an alarming fungal infection that usually affects the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The causative organism is Cryptococcus neoformans. Although this infection can occur in normal individuals, it is more often seen in patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of chairside computer assisted design and computer assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers for maxillary canines.
Methods And Materials: Forty-eight restorations for maxillary right canines (12 per group) were designed as follows: (1) partial crown with finish line in the upper middle third; (2) partial crown with finish line in the lower middle third; (3) traditional labial veneer; and (4) traditional full-coverage crown. Restorations were fabricated out of lithium disilicate (Amber Mill, Hassbio) using a chairside CAD-CAM system (Cerec Dentsply Sirona).
