[The marginal accuracy of the fit of fixed adhesive ceramic inlays].
48 extracted human molars were restored with MOD inlays using 3 different ceramic systems: Dicor, Mirage and Vitadur N. For the Dicor system both the direct and indirect manufacturing procedures were used and all the necessary technical and clinical steps were performed. After being subjected to a thermal cycling stress test for 100 days, the teeth were ground sectioned for light microscopic examination. Sintered high-strength ceramic systems (Mirage and Vitadur N) displayed significantly better marginal adaptation than casted glass ceramic. In order to estimate the extent of the outer marginal gap, we measured the defective surface where the adhesive composite had disintegrated. The best possible marginal fit will certainly prolong the longevity of inlay restorations.
