Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether post-milling firing and material type affect the fabrication trueness and internal fit of lithium disilicate crowns. METHODS A prefabricated cobalt chromium abutment was digitized to design a mandibular right first molar crown. This design file was used to fabricate crowns from different lithium disilicate ceramics (nano-lithium disilicate (AM), fully crystallized lithium disilicate (IN), advanced lithium disilicate (TS), and lithium disilicate (EX)) (n = 10). Crowns, the abutment, and the crowns when seated on the abutment were digitized by using an intraoral scanner. Fabrication trueness was assessed by using the root mean square method, while the internal fit was evaluated according to the triple scan method. These processes were repeated after the post-milling firing of AM, TS, and EX. Paired samples t-tests were used to analyze the effect of post-milling firing within AM, TS, and EX, while all materials were compared with 1-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS Post-milling firing reduced the surface deviations and internal gap of AM and EX (P ≤ 0.014). AM mostly had higher deviations and internal gaps than other materials (P ≤ 0.030). CONCLUSIONS Post-milling firing increased the trueness and internal fit of tested nano-lithium disilicate and lithium disilicate ceramics. Nano-lithium disilicate mostly had lower trueness and higher internal gap; however, the maximum meaningful differences among tested materials were small. Therefore, the adjustment duration and clinical fit of tested crowns may be similar. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Tested lithium disilicate ceramics may be suitable alternatives to one another in terms of fabrication trueness and internal fit, considering the small differences in measured deviations and internal gaps.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared the tooth morphology, internal fit, occlusion, and proximal contacts of dental crowns automatically generated via two deep learning (DL)-based dental software systems with those manually designed by an experienced dental technician using conventional software. METHODS Thirty partial arch scans of prepared posterior teeth were used. The crowns were designed using two DL-based methods (AA and AD) and a technician-based method (NC). The crown design outcomes were three-dimensionally compared, focusing on tooth morphology, internal fit, occlusion, and proximal contacts, by calculating the geometric relationship. Statistical analysis utilized the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc pairwise comparisons (α = 0.05). RESULTS The AA and AD groups, with the NC group as a reference, exhibited no significant tooth morphology discrepancies across entire external or occlusal surfaces. The AD group exhibited higher root mean square and positive average values on the axial surface (P < .05). The AD and NC groups exhibited a better internal fit than the AA group (P < .001). The cusp angles were similar across all groups (P = .065). The NC group yielded more occlusal contact points than the AD group (P = .006). Occlusal and proximal contact intensities varied among the groups (both P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Crowns designed by using both DL-based software programs exhibited similar morphologies on the occlusal and axial surfaces; however, they differed in internal fit, occlusion, and proximal contacts. Their overall performance was clinically comparable to that of the technician-based method in terms of the internal fit and number of occlusal contact points. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE DL-based dental software for crown design can streamline the digital workflow in restorative dentistry, ensuring clinically-acceptable outcomes on tooth morphology, internal fit, occlusion, and proximal contacts. It can minimize the necessity of additional design optimization by dental technician.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-ceramic soldering on the marginal and internal fit of 4-unit zirconia fixed dental prostheses (FPDs) that have two abutments and two pontics. 4-unit zirconia frameworks (Zirkonzahn ICE Translucent) (Z Group) and monolithic zirconia (Zirkonzahn Prettau) (M Group) FPDs were manufactured. Groups were divided into two groups (n = 10) control (ZC and MC) and soldering (ZS and MS). Samples of ZS and MS groups were cut into two pieces under cooling water and soldered with a bonding material (DCM Zircon HotBond). The marginal and internal fit of the restorations were measured from 36 points of each sample and cement space volume was calculated using reverse engineering software (Geomagic Design X). The mean and standard deviations were submitted to Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) analysis (α = 0.05). Statistical differences between groups before and after pre-ceramic soldering on point measurements were found. In total cement spacing measurements, a significant difference was found amongst all groups (P < 0.05). However, in premolars, a statistically significant difference was found between ZC and ZS groups and MC and MS groups (P < 0.05). All discrepancies after pre-ceramic soldering were found to be lower than before.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The goal behind this study is to answer the question "In tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs), does the digital impression techniques compared to fabrications using conventional impression methods improve the marginal and internal fit? BACKGROUND The incorporation of digital technology in the fabrication of fixed partial dentures (FPDs) has accelerated over the past decade. This study is directed at evaluating the marginal and internal fit of FPDs manufactured using digital approaches compared to conventional techniques. The need for updated data has encouraged this review. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Grey Database to identify relevant studies. The Modified Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess the risk of bias in in vitro experiments. The key results of this meta-analysis were the standard mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of each main variance, marginal fit, and internal fit between the digital and conventional techniques. Additional analyses were performed to assess the significance of three subgroup parameters: method of digitalization, cement spacer thickness, and span length, and their influence on the fit of the FPDs. RESULTS Based on predefined criteria, of the seven articles included in this systematic review, only five were selected for the quantitative data analysis. The marginal fit results were (P = 0.06; SMD: -1.88; 95% CI: - 3.88, 0.11) (P > 0.05) and the internal fit results were (P = 0.02; SMD: -0.80; 95% CI: - 1.49, - 0.10) (P < 0.05). Regarding the subgroup analyses, the method of digitalization subgroup results were (P = 0.35; SMD: -1.89; 95% CI: - 3.89, 0.11) and (P = 0.80; SMD: -0.80; 95% CI: - 1.49, - 0.11) for marginal and internal fit, respectively. The span length results were (P = 0.10; SMD: -1.89; 95% CI: - 3.89, 0.11) for marginal fit and (P = 0.02; SMD: -0.80; 95% CI: - 1.49, - 0.11) for internal fit. The cement spacer thickness (P = 0.01; SMD: -1.89; 95% CI: - 3.89, 0.11) and (P = 0.04; SMD: -0.80; 95% CI: - 1.49, - 0.11) for marginal and internal fit, respectively. CONCLUSION Tooth-retained fixed partial dentures FPDs produced by digital scanning and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems can significantly enhance the internal fit compared with those manufactured by traditional methods. Intraoral scanners can replace conventional impressions for the fabrication of FPDs because they minimize the operating time and reduce patient pain. Further clinical studies are required to obtain more conclusive results. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION This systematic review and meta-analysis was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), registration number CRD42021261397.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the invitro research was to compare the fit of Cobalt Chromium customized bar fabricated with different manufacturing processes cast metal bar, milled bar and 3D printed bar using scanning electron microscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clear epoxy resin molds were prepared. In each mold two parallel implants with a 14 mm distance from each other were embedded. Thirty Co-Cr custom bars were constructed and were divided equally into three groups: Group (I) (Co-Cr conv), group (II) milled bar (Co-Cr milled), and group (III) printed bar (Co-Cr print). The marginal fit at implant-abutment interface was scanned using scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS There was a significant difference between the three studied groups regarding marginal misfit the between implant and fabricated bars with p-value < 0.001. The highest value of micro-gap distance was found in Co-Cr conventional group (7.95 ± 2.21 μm) followed by Co-Cr 3D printed group (4.98 ± 1.73) and the lower value were found in Co-Cr milled (3.22 ± 0.75). CONCLUSION The marginal fit of milled, 3D printed and conventional cast for Co-Cr alloy were within the clinically acceptable range of misfit. CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr bar revealed a superior internal fit at the implant-abutment interface. This was followed by selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printed bar and the least fit was shown for customized bar with the conventional lost wax technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the time efficiency, occlusal morphology, and internal fit of dental crowns designed using generative adversarial network (GAN)-based dental software compared to conventional dental software. METHODS Thirty datasets of partial arch scans for prepared posterior teeth were analyzed. Each crown was designed on each abutment using GAN-based software (AI) and conventional dental software (non-AI). The AI and non-AI groups were compared in terms of time efficiency by measuring the elapsed work time. The difference in the occlusal morphology of the crowns before and after design optimization and the internal fit of the crown to the prepared abutment were also evaluated by superimposition for each software. Data were analyzed using independent t tests or Mann-Whitney test with statistical significance (α=.05). RESULTS The working time was significantly less for the AI group than the non-AI group at T1, T5, and T6 (P≤.043). The working time with AI was significantly shorter at T1, T3, T5, and T6 for the intraoral scan (P≤.036). Only at T2 (P≤.001) did the cast scan show a significant difference between the two groups. The crowns in the AI group showed less deviation in occlusal morphology and significantly better internal fit to the abutment than those in the non-AI group (both P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Crowns designed by AI software showed improved outcomes than that designed by non-AI software, in terms of time efficiency, difference in occlusal morphology, and internal fit. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The GAN-based software showed better time efficiency and less deviation in occlusal morphology during the design process than the conventional software, suggesting a higher probability of optimized outcomes of crown design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the fabrication trueness and internal fit of hybrid abutment crowns fabricated by using additively and subtractively manufactured restorative materials. METHODS A maxillary first premolar crown with a screw access channel was designed onto a digitized master titanium base abutment. This file was used to fabricate 40 crowns additively (Crowntec (CT) and VarseoSmile Crown Plus (VS)) or subtractively (Brilliant Crios (BC) and Vita Enamic (EN)) (n = 10). Crowns were digitized with an intraoral scanner and root mean square method was used to evaluate fabrication trueness. Master abutment and the crowns when seated on the abutment were also digitized with the same intraoral scanner and triple scan method was used to evaluate internal fit. Data were analyzed either with 1-way ANOVA (surface deviations) or Kruskal-Wallis (internal fit) tests (α= 0.05). RESULTS CT had the highest overall, external, and marginal surface deviations (P≤.030), whereas BC had the lowest external (P≤.001) and VS and EN had the lowest marginal surface deviations (P≤.007). BC had the highest intaglio surface deviations (P<.001). BC and EN had higher average gap values CT and VS (P≤.006); however, the differences within additively and subtractively manufactured materials were nonsignificant (P≥.858). CONCLUSIONS One of the tested additively manufactured resins (CT) resulted in mostly lower trueness than that of other materials. However, deviations at the intaglio and marginal surfaces were generally small and the maximum mean difference among test groups when average gap was considered was 17.4 µm. Therefore, clinical fit of hybrid abutment crowns fabricated with tested materials may be similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate and compare the marginal gap using two different methods and the internal fit of 3D printed and zirconia crowns. METHODS 3Y-TZP zirconia crowns (n = 20) were manufactured using subtractive milling (group M) and 3D printed (group P). The marginal gap was measured at 60 points using vertical marginal gap technique (VMGT). On the other hand, the silicone replica technique (SRT) was used to evaluate the internal fit and was divided into 4 groups: marginal gap, cervical gap, axial gap, and occlusal gap where the thickness of light impression was measured at 16 references. The numerical data was tested for normality using Shapiro-Wilk's test. They were found to be normally distributed and were analyzed using an independent t-test. RESULTS Using VMGT, group P had significantly higher mean marginal gap values of 80 ± 30 µm compared to group M = 60 ± 20 µm (p < 0.001). Also, with the SRT, the marginal gap of group P (100 ± 10 µm) had significantly higher values compared to group M (60 ± 10 µm). The internal fit showed significant difference between the tested groups except for Axial Gap. CONCLUSIONS Although milled crowns showed better results. The 3D printed zirconia crowns offer clinically acceptable results in terms of marginal adaptation and internal fit. Both VMGT and SRT are reliable methods for the assessment of the marginal gap.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of material and occlusal preparation design on the internal fit and marginal gap of endocrowns made of Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and lithium disilicate. METHODS 32 endocrowns were fabricated on prepared mandibular molars and divided into two groups (n = 16) according to the material. Group L: lithium disilicate and Group P: PEEK. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups (n = 8) according to the occlusal preparation design: full occlusal coverage (LF and PF) and partial occlusal coverage (LP and PP). Samples were analyzed using microcomputed tomography (µCT) with a voxel size of 6 μm to evaluate internal fit, and an optical microscope was used to evaluate the marginal gap. Data were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed. Numerical data were described as mean and standard deviation and compared using the ANOVA test. The level of significance was set at α P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS All groups' internal fit and marginal gaps values were within the acceptable clinical range. However, the lithium disilicates group recorded statistically significantly higher mean internal gap values than the PEEK groups. Regardless of the material, the difference between the two occlusal designs was not statistically significant in both internal fit and marginal gap records. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, PEEK endocrown restorations revealed better internal fit and marginal gap than lithium disilicate endocrown restorations. The marginal and internal fit of both lithium disilicate and PEEK endocrown restorations were within the clinically acceptable range. The occlusal preparation design had no influence on the internal fit and marginal gap of the endocrown restoration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess and compare the marginal and internal fit of machine-milled crowns designed using three different CAD software programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Digital impressions of the master zirconia casts containing the prepared molar were obtained using an intraoral scanner. The obtained standard tessellation language (STL) files were imported into three CAD software programs (Multi-CAD, Blue-Sky CAD, and InLab), and crown designs were generated. Crown design digital STL files were used to mill crowns with a five-axis dental milling machine. The internal and marginal fits of the fabricated crowns over the master-prepared tooth were assessed using the triple-scan protocol and digital analysis techniques. The 3D marginal and internal fit values of the fabricated crowns from the designs generated by the three CAD programs were evaluated and statistically compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Tukey's tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS There were no significant differences in the internal fit of the crowns designed by the three CAD programs (p > 0.05). However, there were significant differences in the mean marginal fit (p = 0.009) of the crowns. The marginal fit values for the InLab-designed crowns were significantly better than those for Multi-CAD (p = 0.03) and Blue-Sky CAD (p = 0.012) groups. CONCLUSIONS All three CAD programs can design clinically acceptable crowns in terms of internal and marginal fit. InLab crowns outperformed the Multi-CAD and Blue-Sky CAD programs in terms of marginal fit. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It is critical to test the ability of newly released CAD programs to design acceptable virtual crowns that can be transformed into actual crowns with optimal marginal and internal fit to existing clinical tooth preparations/conditions to ensure the high technical quality and long-term success of fabricated crowns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Advancements in digital dentistry and the development of intraoral scanners (IOS) have provided clinicians with an accurate and efficient alternative to analog impressions. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the marginal and internal fit of 5-unit monolithic zirconia fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated with CAD/CAM technology using direct and indirect digitalization methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three teeth in a maxillary typodont model were prepared to receive a 5-unit zirconia FDP. Six different groups were created according to the type of scanner (intraoral and extraoral) and the type of workflow. For direct workflow, the typodont was scanned with two different IOS (3Shape Trios 3 [3S-IOS] and Cerec Omnicam [C-IOS]). For indirect workflow, after conventional impressions were obtained, the impressions (IMP) were scanned with two different laboratory scanners (3S-IMP and C-IMP). After the impressions were poured, the stone (STN) casts were scanned with the same laboratory scanners (3S-STN and C-STN). Sixty 5-unit monolithic zirconia FDPs (10 in each group) were designed and milled. The marginal and internal fit was assessed. RESULTS The mean marginal gap values were 78.2±9 μm in the IOS group, 82.6± 9 μm in the IMP group, and 82.6±9 μm in the STN group, indicating no statistically significant differences among groups (p > 0.05). The mean axial gap values were 77.7 ± 10 μm in IOS group, 83.61 ± 15 μm in the IMP group, and 84.5±9 μm in the STN group, indicating no statistically significant differences among groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The marginal and internal fit of 5-unit monolithic zirconia FDPs fabricated with direct and indirect digital scans were similar. The smallest gap values were observed at the marginal region while the greatest gap values were detected at the occlusal region.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the marginal and internal fit of monolithic computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ZLS (Vita Suprinity) glass ceramic porcelain laminate veneers (PLVs), in terms of marginal and internal gap widths, in comparison to monolithic lithium disilicate (LDS) [IPS e.max CAD] CAD/CAM veneers, and, also, to analyze the effect of incisal preparation designs (butt joint and chamfer), on the marginal and internal fit accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty dental stone dies poured from impressions made of two master metal dies with different incisal preparation designs were scanned to produce digital models. Forty ceramic veneers were designed and milled using the virtual models-10 ZLS butt joint, 10 ZLS chamfer, 10 LDS butt joint, and 10 LDS chamfer. The monolithic ceramic veneers produced were then subjected to marginal and internal gap width evaluation using X-ray nano-computed tomography and computerized digital analysis (n = 10). Descriptive analyses of data were performed and the influence of "material" and "preparation design" on the marginal and internal fit of veneers was assessed using 2-way ANOVA (α = 0.05). Bonferroni post-hoc multiple comparison tests were used to further analyze the interactions between the material and preparation design after adjusting the α value by Holm-Bonferroni method (α = 0.01). RESULTS Mean marginal and internal gaps for ZLS PLVs were 65 ±11 μm and 112 ±14 μm for butt joint, and 100 ±24 μm and 100 ±21 μm for chamfer, respectively. Corresponding values for LDS PLVs were 78 ±25 μm and 114 ±17 μm for butt joint, and 104 ±18 μm and 106 ±7 μm for chamfer. Marginal gap and internal gap differences between ZLS and LDS PLVs were not significant (marginal gap: F = 1.786, p = 0.190; internal gap: F = 0.807, p = 0.375). However, the preparation designs (butt joint and chamfer) differed significantly in terms of marginal gaps (F = 23.797, p = 0.000), but not internal gaps (F = 3.703; p = 0.059). CONCLUSIONS Butt joint margins produced better marginal accuracy in terms of marginal gap, compared to chamfers, for ZLS CAD/CAM laminate veneers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared the marginal and internal fit of implant-supported fixed dentures fabricated using CAD/CAM systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS A lower jaw model representing partial edentulism was produced. Two dental implants were inserted in the area of teeth 35 and 37, onto which cemented abutments were screwed. The model was scanned using a laboratory scanner and transferred to a design software program for substructure fabrication. Sixty substructures were fabricated out of each group for six substructure types (n = 10), cast Co-Cr (control), milling Co-Cr, laser sintering Co-Cr, titanium (Ti), zirconium, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) substructures. The marginal and internal fit was evaluated using a silicone replica viewed under a stereomicroscope. The data were analyzed using the statistical package program for social sciences (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA, v. 17) at a significance level of 0.05. Marginal and internal gaps were compared using the one-way ANOVA test and Tukey's post hoc test. The differences between abutment teeth were determined using the independent sample t-test. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the marginal gap between PEEK and Ti groups (p < 0.05) but no difference between other groups (p > 0.05). There was a significant difference in the internal gap between PEEK, laser sintering Co-Cr, and milling Co-Cr groups (p < 0.05) but no difference between other groups (p > 0.05). The PEEK group had a higher marginal gap than the Ti group and a higher internal gap than the DMLS Co-Cr group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION All substructures have a marginal and internal fit within acceptable clinical limits. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This in vitro study suggests that materials and techniques used in CAD/CAM systems improve the fitting accuracy of implant-supported fixed restorations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently introduced hybrid and reinforced glass ceramic computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) materials have been used for full-coverage restorations. However; the effect of adjustment and type of materials on internal and marginal adaptation are unknown. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the marginal and internal adaptations of crowns made of three different CAD/CAM materials before and after adjustment. MATERIALS AND METHODS One acrylic resin maxillary first molar was prepared and served as the master die. Thirty-six restorations were fabricated using CAD/CAM system (CEREC Omnicam, MCXL) with three materials including lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Suprinity), and hybrid ceramic (Enamic). Internal and marginal adaptations were evaluated with the reference point matching technique before and after adjustment. The data were analyzed using mixed ANOVA considering α=.05 as the significance level. RESULTS The effect of adjustment and its interaction with the restoration material were significant for marginal, absolute marginal, and occlusal discrepancies (P<.05). Before adjustment, Suprinity had lower marginal discrepancies than IPS e.max CAD (P=.18) and Enamic (P=.021); though no significant differences existed after adjustment. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, crowns fabricated from IPS e.max CAD and Suprinity resulted in slightly better adaptation compared with Enamic crowns before adjustment. However, marginal, axial, and occlusal discrepancies were similar among all materials after the adjustment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the marginal adaptation and internal space of crowns produced by 4 CAD/CAM systems using microcomputed tomography (μCT) and replica technique (RT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Monolithic lithium disilicate crowns were milled (Ceramill, Cerec, EDG, and Zirkonzahn) (n = 10). The cement film obtained with low viscosity silicone was scanned by the μCT system and captured by a stereomicroscope, according to RT. Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test were used for statistical analysis (α = 0.05). A uniformity index (UI) was idealized to describe the distribution of crowns' internal space and submitted to the Kruskal-Wallis and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). The correlation between μCT and RT was performed by Pearson's Correlation Coeficient (α = 0.05). RESULTS Marginal adaptation and internal space were statistically significant different between the experimental groups for the μCT and RT (p < 0.05). The medians of the 4 systems tested were within clinically acceptable range and the mean (± SD) highest marginal discrepancy was recorded in the Ceramill group at 133.0 ± 71.5 μm (μCT) and 90.6 ± 38.5 μm (RT). For internal fit, the UI disclosed a better distribution of the internal space for the Zirkonzahn group (p < 0.001). There was a strong correlation between the methods (p = 0.01 and r = 0.69). CLINICAL RELEVANCE Because of the variability of the CAD/CAM systems available, evaluating their accuracy is of clinical interest. The 4 systems are capable to produce restorations adaptated within clinically appropriate levels. The μCT and RT are efficient adaptation methodologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the internal fit and marginal discrepancy of acrylic resin interim crowns fabricated by different manufacturing methods, and to test the consistency of measuring marginal discrepancy and internal fit between different measuring techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A dentoform mandibular left first molar was prepared for an all-ceramic crown. Thirty-six interim crowns were fabricated and divided into three groups (n = 12): group BAC (Bis-acrylic composite, fabricated manually), group CAM (CAD/CAM polymethylmethacrylate resin, milled), and group 3DP (3D printed methacrylic oligomers, printed). The internal fit of the interim crowns was evaluated by the silicone replica technique and by X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) technique. The marginal discrepancy of the interim crowns was evaluated by the vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) (Aquasil Ultra XLV) impression technique and by optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Turkey tests at α = 0.05. Pearson correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between the different measurement techniques and marginal discrepancy/internal fit. RESULTS The manually fabricated interim crowns (group BAC) had significantly greater discrepancy of internal fit than did the digitally fabricated crowns (group CAM and group 3DP) measured by both silicone replica technique and µCT 2-dimensional (2D) image measurement. There were no statistically significant differences in the cement space volume values obtained by the µCT image technique between group BAC and group 3DP (p = 0.285). The coefficient of determination between the two volumetric measurement techniques was low (R2 = 0.30). For marginal discrepancy, the manually fabricated interim crowns had a wider absolute marginal discrepancy than both digitally fabricated groups (p < 0.05). In both the VPS impression and OCT assessment, there was no statistically significant difference between group CAM and group 3DP (p = 0.798 and 0.994, respectively). The coefficient of determination between the VPS impression and OCT techniques for marginal discrepancy measurement was low (R2 = 0.23). CONCLUSIONS Digitally fabricated interim crowns (group CAM and group 3DP) had better internal fit and smaller marginal discrepancy than manually fabricated interim crowns (group BAC). For comparison of the different evaluation techniques, the silicone replica technique and µCT measurements had low correlation for internal fit assessment, as did the PVS impression and OCT techniques for marginal discrepancy test.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to assess and compare the marginal and internal fit of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) with those of preveneered SSCs and zirconia crowns using different luting cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 36 primary first molars were divided into three groups (n = 12) each prepared to receive different crowns (SSCs, preveneered SSCs, or zirconia crowns). Each group was further subgrouped (n = 4) according to the luting cement (resin cement, glass ionomer cement [GIC], or resin-modified GIC [RMGIC]). After cementation, the teeth were sectioned in the buccolingual direction to assess the marginal and internal fit. The results were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni statistical tests. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Zirconia crowns, especially those cemented with resin cement, were associated with the lowest marginal and internal gap width. Regardless of the luting cement, no significant difference was observed between all three crowns tested in terms of marginal gap (P > 0.05); however, zirconia crowns cemented with resin cement had significantly lower internal gap than preveneered SSCs and SSCs cemented with resin cement. In addition, those cemented with RMGIC had significantly lower internal gap than preveneered SSCs cemented with that cement (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Zirconia crowns cemented with resin cement were the most accurately fitted internally, while marginally, they were not significantly different from the rest of crown-luting cement combinations tested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the marginal and internal fit of crowns, a new intraoral scanner-based digital approach for chairside measurement (D-IOS) was systematically analysed and compared with the conventional silicone replica technique (CV-SR) and digital 3D analysis software (D-GOM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two models, representing different clinical situations, were constructed, and the first molar was prepared for a full-coverage crown. On the basis of an intraoral scan (Trios 3), copings of three different materials (non-precious alloy, zirconium dioxide, and resin composite) with two different cement spaces (80 μm, 50 μm) were manufactured. The fit of the copings was investigated by all three methods (CV-SR, D-IOS, D-GOM). Therefore, the cement space was visualized with low-viscosity silicone and digitalized with a second intraoral scan. Evaluation of fit by the D-IOS-method was measured in the intraoral scanner software, whereas for analysis by D-GOM, both intraoral scan datasets were transferred to 3D analysis software (GOM Inspect). The CV-SR-method was used as a control group. For all copings, the measurements were repeated five times. The data were analysed with ANOVA. RESULTS No significant differences between the three evaluation methods and the coping materials were shown. However, in the occlusal area, the internal gap was significantly higher compared to the internal gap in the marginal and axial areas regardless of the cement space setting (p < .05). The target parameter of the cement spaces did not match the actual measured internal gaps. CONCLUSIONS All three evaluation methods and coping materials can be used for the measurement of fit within different clinical situations. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The digital chairside measurement implemented in the intraoral scanner software enables an easy, applicable evaluation of fit of crowns without additional laboratory devices or special software applications.

Abstract
AIM The internal fit and resistance to fracture of resin ceramics are to be evaluated compared to that of lithium disilicate as the control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups of 20 crowns each (GC Cerasmart, Vita Enamic, Coltène Brilliant Crios, and e.max CAD) were cemented on identical metal dies. Marginal gaps were measured before cementation and load to fracture was applied after cementation, half of each group was thermodynamically aged (3,000 cycles of 5° to 55° immersion followed by 200,000 cycles of 100 N load), finally the crowns were loaded until fracture in a universal testing machine. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) package 23 was used for statistical work. RESULTS Marginal gaps ranged between 68.5 ± 23.8 µm and 87 ± 29.1 µm while occlusal gaps ranged from 220.7 ± 33.3 µm to 275.5 ± 46.5 µm and were not significantly different between groups. Fracture loads ranged from 633.8 ± 127.3 N to 1596.4 ± 497.7 N with lithium disilicate glass ceramics (LDGCs) and Enamic having higher values than resin nano-ceramics (RNCs). The fracture resistance was more related to material than aging and gap value. CONCLUSION The margin adaptation of resin ceramics was comparable to lithium disilicate with no significant difference. Lithium disilicate showed a higher resistance than resin ceramics and there was a higher resistance to fracture for polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network (PICN) than RNCs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Resin ceramics can have marginal adaptation and fracture resistance within clinical acceptance; therefore, they can be a good chair-side solution achieved in a single appointment session.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the effect of cementation, cement type and vent-holes on the marginal and internal fit of Zirconia (Zr) Copings. Materials and methods Extracted premolars (N = 100) were mounted in resin and prepared for Zr crowns. Samples were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 20); A: No Cementation; B: Cementation with Glass-Ionomer (GI); C: GI + Vent-Holes; D: Cementation with Resin Cement (RC); E: RC + Vent-Holes. The copings were fabricated using semi sintered Zr Blocks with a standardized cement space of 20 µm. Groups C & E were designed to have 0.5 mm of Vent-Holes on the Buccal and Lingual Cusp Tips. The copings were tried, cemented, thermocycled, re-embedded in resin and cross sectioned into two halves. The copings were examined with 3D-Digital Microscope (HIROX, KH-7700, Tokyo, Japan) at 50-200X. The gaps were recorded at 9 predetermined points. Results The non-cemented groups showed statistically better fit compared to the cemented groups P < 0.05 except vs Group E (RC plus vent holes). No significance was found between the cemented groups P > 0.05. Copings with vent-holes showed statistically better fit than copings without holes P < 0.05. Conclusion Marginal and Internal gap values designed in the software programs differed than the actual values measured for the non-cemented copings. Cementation process also influenced the fit of the Zr copings, the resin cement being the more accurate. The addition of vent-holes on the occlusal surface improved the fit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vitro study aimed to evaluate marginal and internal fit of single crowns produced from high-frequency ultrasound based digital impressions of teeth prepared with finish lines covered by porcine gingiva, in comparison with those obtained by optical scanners with uncovered finish lines. METHODS Ten human teeth were prepared and forty zirconia crowns were fabricated from STL-datasets obtained from four dental scanners (n=10): extraoral CS2 (Straumann), intraoral Lava COS (3M), intraoral Trios (3Shape) and extraoral ultrasound scanner. The accuracy of the crowns was compared evaluating marginal and internal fit by means of the replica technique with measurements in four areas; P1: occlusal surface; P2: transition between occlusal and axial surfaces; P3: middle of axial wall; and P4: marginal gap. Restoration margins were classified according to their mismatch as regular, underextended or overextended. Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U test were used to evaluate the differences between groups at p<0.05. RESULTS The median value of marginal gap (P4) for Ultrasound (113.87μm) differed statistically from that of CS2 (39.74μm), Lava COS (41.98μm) and Trios (42.07μm). There were no statistical differences between ultrasound and Lava COS for internal misfit (P1-P3), however there were statistical differences when compared with the other two scanners (Trios and CS2) at P1 and P2. SIGNIFICANCE The ultrasound scanner was able to make digital impressions of prepared teeth through porcine gingiva (P4), however with less accuracy of fit than that of conventional optical scanners without coverage of the finish lines. Where no gingiva was available (P1-P3), the ultrasound accuracy of fit was similar to that of at least one optical scanner (Lava COS).

Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal and internal adaptation of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) copings fabricated from conventional wax pattern, three-dimensional (3D)-printed resin pattern, and laser sintering technique. Materials and Methods A total of thirty copings were made, out of which ten copings were made from 3D-printed resin pattern (Group A), ten from inlay wax pattern (Group B), and ten copings were obtained from direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique (Group C). All the thirty samples were seated on their respective dies and sectioned carefully using a laser jet cutter and were evaluated for marginal and internal gaps at the predetermined areas using a stereomicroscope. The values were then analyzed using one-way ANOVA test and post hoc Bonferroni test. Results One-way ANOVA showed lowest mean marginal discrepancy for DMLS and highest value for copings fabricated from inlay wax. The values for internal discrepancy were highest for DMLS (169.38) and lowest for 3D-printed resin pattern fabricated copings (133.87). Post hoc Bonferroni test for both marginal and internal discrepancies showed nonsignificant difference when Group A was compared to Group B (P > 0.05) and significant when Group A was compared with Group C (P < 0.05). Group B showed significant difference (P < 0.05) when compared with Group C. Conclusion Marginal and internal discrepancies of all the three casting techniques were within clinically acceptable values. Marginal fit of DMLS was superior as compared to other two techniques, whereas when internal fit was evaluated, conventional technique showed the best internal fit.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare marginal and internal adaptations of porcelain laminate veneers fabricated with heat-pressed and CAD/CAM techniques, and to evaluate the clinical performances 2 years after cementation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty heat-pressed and 31 CAD/CAM porcelain laminate veneers were fabricated for 12 patients. Silicone replicas of each veneer were obtained. Replicas were sectioned into 4 parts to measure adaptations of the veneers. A stereomicroscope was used to measure from 3 locations of replicas for marginal, and 9 locations for internal adaptations at 40x magnification. Clinical evaluations were done at baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after cementation according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. Independent samples t-test compared the adaptation values between heat-pressed and CAD/CAM groups. Paired t-test was used to evaluate marginal and internal adaptations of each group. Differences between the modified USPHS criteria ratings of heat-pressed and CAD/CAM groups were determined by the Mann-Whitney U test. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the survival ratings of the veneers (p < 0.05). RESULTS The mean marginal adaptation values of heat-pressed and CAD/CAM veneers were 295 and 314.98 μm, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.541). Internal adaptation values of groups were not statistically different either (201.82 μm for heat pressed; 195.47 μm for CAD/CAM p = 0.734). When marginal and internal adaptation values were compared within groups, there were significant differences both for heat-pressed (p < 0.001) and CAD/CAM (p < 0.001). All veneers were rated 100% satisfactory during the 2-year period. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of this study, fabrication method, whether CAD/CAM or heat-pressed, had no effect on the marginal and internal adaptation of porcelain laminate veneers. The results showed that both fabrication techniques performed well after 2 years of clinical performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare and analyze the three-dimensional marginal and internal fit of PEKK and zirconia copings. METHODS Two acrylic models of the right maxillary canine, first molar were fabricated as master dies and duplicated by one-step dual viscosity impressions. Five stone replicas from each model were digitized with a blue-light scanner and copings were machined from Pekkton and Zirconia blanks. The inner surface of all the copings and two original acrylic models were digitized by a highly accurate optical scanner. By superimposing the digitized coping data with the CAD-reference die three-dimensionally, visual fit-discrepancies were drawn by calculating the root mean square (RMS) and visualized on a color-difference map. Each calculated RMS-value was statistically analyzed by 3-way ANOVA. In addition, Student's t-test was conducted in order to verify the significance (α=.05) of fit-discrepancies based on the type of abutment tooth and the materials. RESULTS Mean RMS-values for marginal fit (internal fit) ranged from 51.64±1.5 (36.12±1.34) to 69.62±8.11 (41.6±1.63)μm. Differences in marginal fit (canine: P=.001; molar: P=.047) and internal fit (canine: P=.017; molar: P=.046) were statistically significant. The results of the 3-way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences in the RMS values of the two groups for the material (P<.001), the types of the abutment tooth (P<.001), and the measured region (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The marginal and internal fit of both PEKK and zirconia copings of both canine and molar were within the clinically acceptable range. However, the PEKK presented better fitness compared with the zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of single crowns, compared to 14-unit frameworks made of translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia. We hypothesized that there is an influence of the type of restoration on the marginal and internal fit. METHODS Eight teeth (FDI locations 17, 15, 13, 11, 21, 23, 25 and 27) of a typodont maxillary model were provided with a chamfer preparation to accommodate a 14-unit prosthesis or four single crowns (SCs). Ten 14-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) and 40 single crowns were fabricated using a computer aided design (CAD)/computer aided manufacturing (CAM) system with pre-sintered translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia blanks. The restorations were cemented onto twenty master dies, which were sectioned into four pieces each. Then, the marginal and internal fits were examined using a binocular microscope. In order to detect the differences between the two types of restorations a non-parameteric test (Mann-Whitney-U) was carried out; to detect differences between the abutment teeth and the abutment surfaces non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis) and pairwise post hoc analyses (Mann-Whitney-U) were performed after testing data for normal distribution (method according to Shapiro-Wilk). Level of significance was set at 5%. RESULTS The mean (SD) marginal opening gap dimensions were 18 μm (14) for the single crowns and 29 μm (27) for the 14-unit FDPs (p<0.001). Abutment 21 of the FDPs showed statistical differences concerning the location of the teeth in both marginal and internal fit (p<0.001). The measured gaps (types I-IV) revealed statistical differences between all types, when comparing SCs to the FDPs (p<0.001). SIGNIFICANCE Single crowns showed significantly better accuracy of fit, compared to the 14-unit FDPs. However, both restorations showed clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects, digital impression procedures can have on the three-dimensional fit of ceramic partial crowns in vitro. METHODS An acrylic model of a mandibular first molar was prepared to receive a partial coverage all-ceramic crown (mesio-occlusal-distal inlay preparation with reduction of all cusps and rounded shoulder finish line of buccal wall). Digital impressions were taken using iTero (ITE), cara TRIOS (TRI), CEREC AC with Bluecam (CBC), and Lava COS (COS) systems, before restorations were designed and machined from lithium disilicate blanks. Both the preparation and the restorations were digitised using an optical reference-scanner. Data were entered into quality inspection software, which superimposed the records (best-fit-algorithm), calculated fit-discrepancies for every pixel, and colour-coded the results to aid visualisation. Furthermore, mean quadratic deviations (RMS) were computed and analysed statistically with a one-way ANOVA. Scheffé's procedure was applied for multiple comparisons (n=5, α=0.05). RESULTS Mean marginal (internal) discrepancies were: ITE 90 (92) μm, TRI 128 (106) μm, CBC 146 (84) μm, and COS 109 (93) μm. Differences among impression systems were statistically significant at p<0.001 (p=0.039). Qualitatively, partial crowns were undersized especially around cusp tips or the occluso-approximal isthmus. By contrast, potential high-spots could be detected along the preparation finishline and at central occlusal boxes. CONCLUSIONS Marginal and internal fit of milled lithium disilicate partial crowns depended on the employed digital impression technique. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The investigated digital impression procedures demonstrated significant fit discrepancies. However, all fabricated restorations showed acceptable marginal and internal gap sizes, when considering clinically relevant thresholds reported in the literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of heat-pressed and CAD/CAM fabricated all-ceramic onlays before and after luting as well as after thermo-mechanical fatigue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two caries-free, extracted human mandibular molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=24/group). All teeth received an onlay preparation with a mesio-occlusal-distal inlay cavity and an occlusal reduction of all cusps. Teeth were restored with heat-pressed IPS-e.max-Press* (IP, *Ivoclar-Vivadent) and Vita-PM9 (VP, Vita-Zahnfabrik) as well as CAD/CAM fabricated IPS-e.max-CAD* (IC, Cerec 3D/InLab/Sirona) all-ceramic materials. After cementation with a dual-polymerising resin cement (VariolinkII*), all restorations were subjected to mouth-motion fatigue (98 N, 1.2 million cycles; 5°C/55°C). Marginal fit discrepancies were examined on epoxy replicas before and after luting as well as after fatigue at 200× magnification. Internal fit was evaluated by multiple sectioning technique. For the statistical analysis, a linear model was fitted with accounting for repeated measurements. RESULTS Adhesive cementation of onlays resulted in significantly increased marginal gap values in all groups, whereas thermo-mechanical fatigue had no effect. Marginal gap values of all test groups were equal after fatigue exposure. Internal discrepancies of CAD/CAM fabricated restorations were significantly higher than both press manufactured onlays. CONCLUSIONS Mean marginal gap values of the investigated onlays before and after luting as well as after fatigue were within the clinically acceptable range. Marginal fit was not affected by the investigated heat-press versus CAD/CAM fabrication technique. Press fabrication resulted in a superior internal fit of onlays as compared to the CAD/CAM technique. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinical requirements of 100 μm for marginal fit were fulfilled by the heat-press as well as by the CAD/CAM fabricated all-ceramic onlays. Superior internal fit was observed with the heat-press manufacturing method. The impact of present findings on the clinical long-term behaviour of differently fabricated all-ceramic onlays warrants further investigation.
