title: Marginal seal of injection-molded ceramic crowns cemented with three adhesive systems.
abstract: This in vitro investigation evaluated the marginal seal of an injection-molded ceramic crown system used in combination with three adhesive luting systems. One of these systems was a glass-ionomer cement and the other two were based on composite resin materials. One of the latter materials is claimed by the manufacturer to bond to tooth structure and also to porcelain. The final luting material was used in conjunction with a commercially available porcelain bonding system and specific dentin bonding pretreatments. Following thermocycling, the marginal seal of the crowns was tested by use of a chemical marker intrusion technique. The extent of leakage along the sectioned crown/luting agent/tooth structure interfaces was recorded by using digital imaging microscopy. Minimal microleakage was demonstrated with the composite luting cement used in association with specific porcelain and dentin bonding pretreatments.
