Factors Affecting the Marginal Fit of CAD-CAM Restorations and Concepts to Improve Outcomes

Purpose of Review With the advent of CAD-CAM technology, it is essential to examine factors that affect outcomes of restorations fabricated by the new methodologies. Recent Findings This report assesses and compares ceramic crown fabrication systems to determine what factors affect marginal fit and provide solutions for better outcomes. Summary The review revealed key scientific evidence about what factors influence the marginal fit of CAD-CAM ceramic restorations. Solutions were recommended to help the clinician achieve greater long-term success when providing this treatment to their patients. The dental microscope enables the dental practitioner to achieve improved clinical outcomes in all phases of restorative dentistry, especially CAD-CAM restorations.
