Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the precision of fit of frameworks milled from semi-sintered regular zirconia and high-translucent (HT) zirconia blanks, fabricated with two different CAD/CAM systems.

Material and methods

Three-unit, posterior fixed dental prostheses (FDP) frameworks were fabricated for standardized dies (n = 11) with two different laboratory computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems (Cercon/Ceramill). The replica technique was used to evaluate the marginal and internal fit under an optical microscope. Evaluation of the data was performed according to prior studies at a level of significance of 5%.

Results

The systems showed a statistically significant influence on the internal fit of the frameworks (p ≤ 0.001) and on the marginal fit (p < 0.001). The type of material showed no influence on the marginal fit for the Cercon system (p = 0.636) and on the marginal fit (p = 0.064) and the internal fit (p = 0.316) for the Ceramill system, while regular zirconia from Cercon showed higher internal values than HT zirconia (p = 0.016).

Conclusions and clinical relevance

Both investigated systems showed clinically acceptable values within the limitations of this in vitro study. However, one showed less internal accuracy when regular zirconia was used.
