to evaluate the influence of core thickness and fabrication stages on the marginal accuracy of ips e.max press crowns.twenty ips e.max press crowns, 1.5mm thick, were fabricated on metal dies. the crowns had two different core thicknesses, 0.8mm for group a and 1mm for group b, ten for each group. marginal gap was measured after each stage of core fabrication, veneering and glaze firing. the sp...

objective: this experimental in vitro study compared marginal adaptation of indirect composite, glass-ceramic inlays and direct composite. materials and methods: seventy-five recently extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=25) and mesio-occluso-distal cavities with the same dimensions were prepared in the teeth. indirect composite and glass-ceramic inlays were fabrica...

statement of problem: targis restorations provide good esthetic and clinical success; however, improving marginal accuracy requires further investigations. purpose: the aim of this was to study evaluate the effect of relining on the marginal accuracy of ceromer crowns. material and methods: one ivorine maxillary central incisor was prepared for targis crown. 10 acrylic models were duplicated fr...

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...

background and aim: an important criterion for success assessment of implant-supported prostheses is marginal fit. vertical and horizontal discrepancy can result in loosening of the prosthetic screw, crestal bone resorption, peri-implantitis and loss of osseointegration. despite careful attention to waxing, investing, and casting, marginal discrepancies are inevitable. the aim of this study was...

purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two gingival finishing lines (90° shoulder and deep chamfer) on the marginal fitness of two types of full anatomic all-ceramic crowns; zirconia crowns (zikonzhan) and glass ceramic crowns (ips e-max cad) milled with cad/cam system. materials and methods: two dentoform teeth of left maxillary first molar were prepared with chamfer fini...

Introduction: Marginal fit is a key factor for long term clinical success through any dental restorations. Poor marginal adaptation causes cement dissolution. This can lead to dental caries, gingival irritation, periodontal diseases, and finally treatment failure. The aim of this study was measurement and comparison of marginal gap quantities in metal ceramic and all ceramic dental restorations...

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 ...
