Marginal adaptation is a key factor in the long-term success of restorations produced using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies. 1-3 Although marginal adaptation is affected by both vertical and horizontal discrepancies, horizontal discrepancies can be adjusted chairside. 4 Thus, together with the resistance form, the marginal gap remains a major determinant of the longevity of CAD-CAM restorations. 5 Although luting agents can compensate for discrepancies in the marginal gap and resistance form, degradation of the luting agent occurs as a result of occlusal forces and may lead to secondary caries or reduction in fracture resistance of the crowns. 6-14 Luting agents fatigue as a result of microleakage, changes in the elastic modulus, and plastic deformation over timedconditions that occur under dynamic occlusal forces. 15-17 The American Dental Association specification no. 8
