An In Vitro Comparison of Marginal Fit of Single-Unit Copings Fabricated Using Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Zirconia, Direct Metal Laser Sintering and Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal

In conclusion, CAD/CAM-fabricated zirconia crowns exhibit superior marginal fit compared to DMLS and PFM copings, owing to precise digital design, milling, and material stability. DMLS copings, although less precise, still outperform PFM crowns, which display significant marginal gaps owing to the limitations of the lost-wax method.

Abstract

In conclusion, CAD/CAM-fabricated zirconia crowns exhibit superior marginal fit compared to DMLS and PFM copings, owing to precise digital design, milling, and material stability. DMLS copings, although less precise, still outperform PFM crowns, which display significant marginal gaps owing to the limitations of the lost-wax method.
