Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of lithium disilicate overlays produced by different workflows.
Conducted a proof-of-concept evaluation using micro-computed tomography.
Compared traditional and additive (3D printing) workflows for indirect restorations.
Assessed the dimensional accuracy of the produced restorations.
Both workflows produced lithium disilicate overlays with clinically acceptable accuracy.
3D printing demonstrated viability as an alternative to conventional techniques.

Abstract

Within the limitations of this proof-of-concept design, both traditional and digital workflows are capable of producing lithium disilicate overlays with clinically acceptable accuracy. This study suggests that 3D printing represents a viable and efficient alternative to conventional techniques for fabricating indirect restorations in clinical practice.
