title: [Experimental studies on the reproducible precision of fit of ceramic inlays].
abstract: Three different types of ceramic inlay materials (Dicor, Biodent-Inlay-Keramik, Cerec) were evaluated for precision of reproduction and dimensional fit. The findings of this study revealed that laboratory-made restorations displayed satisfactory characteristics of reproduction except for the edges. Furthermore the initial fit of these materials was comparable to the fit of gold restorations. The Cerec-inlay system by contrast displayed insufficient reproduction characteristics especially at lines, angles and edges. The average marginal gap of Cerec inlays measured was 154 microns. General guidelines for cavity preparations based on the present findings are discussed.
