Methods: A human lower left first premolar was mounted on a typodont model and prepared for an all-ceramic crown. Two groups (n = 5) were divided based on the system for obtaining the crowns and the material used for it (V and L). Micro-CT images were obtained for marginal gap measurements of each crown, and the data were statistically analysed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test for pairwise comparisons (α ¼ 0.05). Results: There were no statistically significant differences between marginal gap of groups V and L (p = 0.473). The mean and standard deviation for the vertical misfit was V = 62.6 (65.2) and L = 66.5 (59.0). For the horizontal misfit, the values were divided into three groups: underextension (L = 20.8%) and (V = 54.6%), equally extended (L = 16.9%) and (V = 36.9%) and overextension (L = 62.3%) and (V = 8.5%). Conclusion: The results revealed no difference in the marginal fit of crowns produced by different materials and different chairside CAD/CAM systems. Both are considered clinically acceptable according to all cited classifications. ARTICLE HISTORY
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
