Abstract: | ObjectivesMarginal adaptation is considered one of the key factors influencing the success of indirect restorations. This study aimed to estimate the marginal fit of lithium disilicate overlays with three distinct preparation designs before and after cementation.MethodsThirty maxillary first premolars were divided into the hollow chamfer design (HCD1) group, butt-joint design (BJD2) group, and conventional occlusal box design (COD3) group (n = 10 each). The samples were scanned using an intra-oral scanner, and overlays were fabricated using computer-assisted design and milled on a computer-assisted machine. The finished restorations were luted using a self-adhesive resin RelyX Ultimate. The marginal gap was assessed using a digital microscope with 230X magnification power. Statistical analysis was conducted using analysis of variance and post hoc (Bonferroni correction) tests, assuming a significance level of 5%.ResultsThe HCD and BJD groups recorded significantly lower marginal gap, (11.39 ± 0.72, 16.29 ± 0.75) and (11.59 ± 0.75, 16.93 ± 0.65) respectively, than the COD group (24.57 ± 1.18, 34.45 ± 1.09) both pre- and post-cementation.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that modification of tooth preparation plays a significant role in the marginal adaptation of the lithium disilicate overlays. The gap was smaller with the HCD and BJD than with the COD, with a statistically significant difference. |
