title: Evaluation of marginal adaptation of all-ceramic crowns and metal ceramic crowns.
abstract: The marginal adaptation of Renaissance crowns is compared with that of the widely used metal ceramic and Dicor crowns. This investigation shows that Dicor and metal ceramic crowns fit better than Renaissance crowns. Clinical implications of all three restorations are discussed.
