Marginal Misfit Assessment in Common Restorative Materials for Cement-Retained Fixed Implant Prostheses: An In Vitro Comparative Study.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the marginal misfit of various restorative materials used in fixed implant prostheses.
Conducted in vitro comparative analysis of cement-retained restorations.
Measured vertical marginal misfit of veneered zirconia, metal-ceramic, and monolithic zirconia.
Analyzed the influence of connection configuration on misfit values.
Veneered zirconia restorations exhibited less vertical misfit compared to metal-ceramic and monolithic zirconia.
All measured misfit values were under 50 µm, indicating acceptable limits for clinical use.
Connection configuration showed no significant impact on marginal misfit.

Abstract

Cement-retained veneered zirconia restorations demonstrated less vertical ACI misfit compared to metal-ceramic and monolithic zirconia restorations. The connection configuration did not influence the marginal misfit. All measured misfit values were below 50 µm.
