Purpose: The fit alteration after ceramic layering of soft Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) and zirconia is poorly documented. This study compared the marginal and internal fit of presintered Co-Cr and zirconia three-unit fixed dental prostheses before and after ceramic veneering.
Materials And Methods: Co-Cr master model was prepared and duplicated 60 times to receive three-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Sixty dies were prepared, scanned and assigned to 3 groups (n = 20/group), to receive the FDPs made of presintered Co-Cr (CS), presintered zirconia (CZ) and cast Ni-Cr (Wi). Each framework was seated on its specific cast. A replica technique was used for marginal and internal discrepancy measurements in mesiodistal and buccolingual planes. Frameworks were ceramic veneered. Results were compared before and after ceramic layering within each group. Data were analyzed using the Levene, t test, and ANOVA (α = 0.05).
Results: Significant difference was found when gaps were compared within groups for CS and CZ but not for Wi. At the abutments level, significant difference was found for both premolars and molars in the buccolingual planes (p < 0.001). A multiple comparison between materials tested showed significant differences between presintered and cast Ni-Cr. No significant difference was detected between CS and CZ (p = 1.000).
Conclusions: Although ceramic layering increased the discrepancy for presintered Co-Cr and zirconia, the marginal adaptation remained clinically acceptable.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the fit of presintered zirconia and cobalt-chromium dental prostheses using various imaging techniques like microcomputed tomography (μCT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a stereomicroscope (SM).
- Twenty-four dental prostheses were analyzed, with half made of Co-Cr and half of zirconia, to evaluate their fit on metal abutments through three different measuring methods.
- Results indicated that the measurement technique significantly affected the outcomes, with Co-Cr prostheses fitting better than zirconia when assessed through SEM and SM, while μCT provided similar results to SEM but was more precise than SM.

Statement Of Problem: Cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloys possess beneficial mechanical properties because alloys, even in thin sections, can resist high mastication forces and exhibit an acceptable bond to the surface porcelain layer. Traditional manufacturing techniques of Co-Cr alloys such as casting have been replaced with newer fabrication techniques, such as milling, laser melting, and presintered milling. Despite scarce documentation, these new manufacturing techniques are being used to fabricate dental and implant constructions.

To evaluate the marginal accuracy of soft-milled cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) compared to other construction methods/restorative materials in tooth/implant-supported restorations. PICO questions were defined, and a systematic search was conducted in six electronic databases. Titles and abstracts were collected and screened by two independent reviewers.
