background: this in vitro study investigated the marginal fit of two porcelain laminate veneers to help the selection of more accurate veneers in discolored teeth. materials and methods: thirty impressions of metal master die created from the prepared labial surface of an acrylic maxillary central incisor were made and poured with type iv stone. the dies were distributed into test groups (n = 1...

objective: the present in vitro study was undertaken to compare the effects of hydrogel and solution forms of sodium ascorbate on microleakage of composite restorations subsequent to a non-vital bleaching procedure with 10% carbamide peroxide. materials and methods: forty-eight sound extracted human maxillary incisors were obtained. following root canal therapy, the teeth were randomly divided ...

Background and aim: Marginal adaptation affects the long-term success of full-coverage restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of porcelain sintering and zirconia core thickness on the marginal adaptation of all-ceramic restorations. Materials and methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, a standard brass die, 7 mm in length and 5 mm in diameter, was fabricated using a milling ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of biodentine in comparison with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and intermediate restorative material (irm), as a root end filling material, using scanning electron microscopy (sem).thirty permanent maxillary central incisors were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated. three millimetres of the root end were resected and 3mm ret...

Introduction: Marginal adaptation is the most critical item in long-term prognosis of single crowns. This study aimed to assess the marginal quality as well asthe discrepancies in marginal integrity of some PFM single crowns of posterior teeth by employing parallel radiography in Shiraz Dental School, Shiraz, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive study, parallel radiographies were taken from 200 f...

The present study evaluated the marginal and internal adaptation of single-tooth zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) ceramic copings or crowns with three different finish line designs. Twenty-four steel dies were prepared for maxillary central incisor crowns with the following finish line designs: shoulder (S), rounded shoulder (RS), and chamfer (C) preparations. Twenty-four standardized ZrO2 ceramic copi...

Marginal gaps, overhanging frameworks and residual cement result in plaque accumulation, finally leading to peri-implantitis. The aim of this study was to radiographically evaluate marginal adaptation, residual cement and overhanging frameworks in implant-supported fixed prostheses. In the present descriptive/cross-sectional study, 96 implant-supported fixed prostheses fabricated and delivered ...

objectives : marginal adaptation is important for long-term success of full-coverage restorations. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of porcelain firing cycle and different thicknesses of ips e.max core on marginal accuracy of all-ceramic restorations. materials and methods : a standard stainless steel die with 0.8 mm classic chamfer finish line and 10° taper was used in this in...
