- Abstract: PURPOSE: This study was to evaluate the marginal fit of two CAD-CAM anatomic contour zirconia crown systems compared to lithium disilicate glass-ceramic crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Shoulder and deep chamfer margin were formed on each acrylic resin tooth model of a maxillary first premolar. Two CAD-CAM systems (Prettau(R)Zirconia and ZENOSTAR(R)ZR translucent) and lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max(R)press) crowns were made (n=16). Each crown was bonded to stone dies with resin cement (Rely X Unicem). Marginal gap and absolute marginal discrepancy of crowns were measured using a light microscope equipped with a digital camera (Leica DFC295) magnified by a factor of 100. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey's HSD test were conducted to analyze the significance of crown marginal fit regarding the finish line configuration and the fabrication system. RESULTS: The mean marginal gap of lithium disilicate glass ceramic crowns (IPS e.max(R)press) was significantly lower than that of the CAD-CAM anatomic contour zirconia crown system (Prettau(R)Zirconia) (P<.05). Both fabrication systems and finish line configurations significantly influenced the absolute marginal discrepancy (P<.05). CONCLUSION: The lithium disilicate glass ceramic crown (IPS e.max(R)press) had significantly smaller marginal gap than the CAD-CAM anatomic contour zirconia crown system (Prettau(R)Zirconia). In terms of absolute marginal discrepancy, the CAD-CAM anatomic contour zirconia crown system (ZENOSTAR(R)ZR translucent) had under-extended margin, whereas the CAD-CAM anatomic contour zirconia crown system (Prettau(R)Zirconia) and lithium disilicate glass ceramic crowns (IPS e.max(R)press) had overextended margins.
