Abstract
Statement of problem
The crystallization process of lithium disilicate crowns has been reported to cause
dimensional change, but whether the fit of chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided
manufactured (CAD-CAM) zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate crowns is affected is
unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate with a 3-dimensional superimposition
analysis technique the marginal and internal adaptation of fully crystallized versus
partially crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic CAD-CAM fabricated
crowns. Additionally, the silicone replica technique and direct viewing of marginal
gap values were compared with the 3-dimensional superimposition analysis technique.
Material and methods
The marginal and internal adaptation of a fully crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium
silicate (CELTRA DUO) were compared with those of a partially crystallized zirconia-reinforced
lithium silicate (VITA SUPRINITY) after crystallization. Sixteen crowns (n=8) were
fabricated with a chairside CAD-CAM system. The crowns and die and crown assembly
were scanned with an optical scanner for the 3-dimensional superimposition analysis.
Four hundred sixty-eight measurements were made for each crown, 78 in each 2-dimensional
section. Marginal discrepancy was measured by using the direct viewing technique.
The internal adaptation of the shoulder area, axial space, and occlusal space was
measured by using the silicone replica technique. Both gap values were compared with
the 3-dimensional superimposition analysis results by using the independent t test. The 2-way ANOVA was used to detect the effect of each variable (group and site)
(α=.05).
Results
The VITA SUPRINITY crowns showed statistically higher marginal discrepancy values
than the CELTRA DUO crowns in both 3-dimensional superimposition analysis and the
direct viewing method, and the lingual aspect recorded the highest marginal discrepancy
mean value when compared with other aspects. The 3-dimensional superimposition analysis
and the direct viewing method were statistically similar (P=.076). The VITA SUPRINTY crowns showed higher internal gap mean values than the CELTRA
DUO crowns in both 3-dimensional superimposition analysis and silicone replica techniques.
The occlusal space recorded the highest mean value in both groups. Assessment by 3-dimensional
superimposition analysis and silicone replica techniques showed statistical difference
in internal gap values (P=.04).
Conclusions
CELTRA DUO showed better precision fit values than VITA SUPRINITY. Three-dimensional
superimposition analysis is a reliable method of evaluating marginal and internal
adaptation.
