- Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fit of zirconia core using MAD/MAM system comparing to that of conventional metal-ceramic and CAD/CAM system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Duplicating the prepared resin tooth, 50 improved stone dies were fabricated. These dies are classified as a group of 5 to create the core. The groups were composed of metal-ceramic, Cercon(R), Ceramill(R), Rainbow(TM), and Zirkonzhan(R). Each core was cemented to stone die, and then, absolute marginal discrepancy was measured with microscope at a magnification of x50. Statistical analysis was done with one-way ANOVA test and Tukey's HSD test. RESULTS: The mean absolute marginal discrepancy for metal-ceramic was 51.97 +/- 23.38 micrometer, for Cercon(R) was 62.16 +/- 25.88 micrometer, for Ceramill(R) was 67.64 +/- 40.38 micrometer, for Rainbow(TM) was 125.07 +/- 42.19 micrometer, and for Zirkonzhan(R) was 105 +/- 44.61 micrometer. CONCLUSION: 1. Fit of margin was identified as in the order of metal-ceramic, Cercon(R), Ceramill(R), Zirkonzhan(R), and Rainbow(TM). 2. Absolute marginal discrepancy of the zirconia core that designed by MAD/MAM system had significant differences in order of Ceramill(R), Zirkonzhan(R), and Rainbow(TM). 3. The mean absolute marginal discrepancy between Cercon(R) and Ceramill(R) did not show significant differences.
