This study evaluated the accuracy of marginal and internal fit between the all-ceramic crowns manufactured by a conventional double-layer computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system and a single-layer system. Ten standardized crowns were fabricated from each of these two systems: conventional double-layer CAD/CAM system (Procera) and a single-layer system (Cerec 3D). The...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Three main factors which determine the success of an All-ceramic restoration are esthetic value, resistance to fracture and third being the marginal fit. Marginal fit and internal adaptation are crucial factors in increasing the longevity of the restoration. Newer and economical CAD CAM systems have been introduced claiming better marginal fit and adaptation of All ceramic ...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate marginal and internal fits ceramic crowns fabricated with chairside computer-aided design manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. An experimental model based on ISO 12836:2015 digitally scanned different intraoral scanners (Omnicam (CEREC), EZIS PO (DDS), CS3500 (Carestream)). Ceramic were using the CAD/CAM process recommended by each system (CEREC, E...

This article describes CAD/CAM technology used in dentistry and different restorative materials used in conjunction with adhesive cementation with particular attention given to the evolution of the CEREC system, as well as various ceramics developed for this system. Advantages and limitations of materials and technique are also discussed.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the marginal gap (MG) and absolute marginal discrepancy (MD) of full ceramic crowns with two finish line designs, shoulder and chamfer, using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) before and after cementation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty extracted human maxillary premolar teeth were divided into two groups based on the finish line design: Group I: 90° shoulder and Group II...

OBJECTIVES CAD-CAM system is popular because of high esthetic and short fabrication time. But, there is limited information available about the microtensile bonding of luting cements to CAD-CAM inlays and to dentin. The aim of this study was to examine the bond strength of CAD-CAM (Cerec 3) and pressed-ceramic (IPS Empress 2) inlays to dentin surface by microtensile testing using two luting cem...

BACKGROUND Different CAD/CAM machines' generation may impact the restoration overall quality. The present study evaluated the marginal fit of CAD/CAM restorations manufactured with different generations of CEREC milling unit systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen typodont teeth were divided into two groups (n=8) according to the machine's generation assigned. These are control group (G1): Cere...
