Marginal and internal fit of CAD-CAM inlay/onlay restorations: A systematic review of in vitro studies

Abstract

Statement of problem.Different parameters can influence the adaptation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) inlay/onlay restorations. However, systematic reviews to identify and discuss these parameters are lacking.Purpose. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the scientific literature investigating all parameters that can influence both the marginal and internal adaptation of CAD-CAM inlay/onlay restorations.Material and methods. An electronic search was conducted by 2 independent reviewers for studies published in English between January 1, 2007 and September 20, 2017 on the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Factors investigated in the selected articles included the type of CAD-CAM system, virtual space parameters, version of the software, type of block, luting procedure, type of restoration, sample size and aging procedure, evaluation method, and number of measurement points per specimen.Results. A total of 162 articles were identified, of which 23 met the inclusion criteria. Nine studies investigated adaptation with different restorative materials, 2 evaluated adaptation according to the type of preparation design, 9 compared adaptation before/after

Adaptation accuracy of milled lithium disilicate crowns: A 2D and 3D microCT analysis

“…Furthermore, it is not possible to apply the same methodology in both times if cementation was realized before. In literature, this procedure showed to increase crown adaptation …”

“…Among the limitations of this in vitro study, factors such as the location of the finish line, periodontal health, presence of sulcular bleeding, patient salivation, and patient collaboration were not considered. However, other factors were considered and evaluated, such as: the molding techniques, ceramic material, the technological innovation by the dental community with increasing as in the CAD / CAM system, and TR and microCT .…”

Accuracy of Digital and Conventional Full-Arch Impressions in Patients: An Update

“…In particular, the workflow for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) (i.e., digital impression taking and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) has been further developed [2,3]. Several studies have reported comparable or even higher accuracy for intraoral scans (IOS) compared with conventional impressions for short-span FDPs up to a quadrant [4][5][6][7][8]. For full-arch scans, still a higher transfer accuracy has been described for conventional impression (CVI) techniques [9][10][11].…”

Marginal Gap Distance and Fracture Resistance of Lithium Disilicate and Zirconia-Reinforced Lithium Disilicate All-Ceramic Crowns Constructed With Two Different Processing TechniquesWith Two Different Processing Techniques

“…(1) CAD/CAM technology has become a common alternative to the conventional processing methods. (2) This processing method in conjunction with the continuous expansion of all ceramic materials used with this technique resulted in perfect understanding and aid in the clinician's selection process. (3) Another commonly used processing technique is the heat pressing technique used to construct the pressable ceramic restorations that has become successfully used since long time.…”
