Background:
Achieving optimal marginal fit is essential for the success of Virgilite Based Lithium Disilicate Ceramic crowns.
Materials And Methods:
In this in-vitro study, we compared the marginal fit of Virgilite Based Lithium Disilicate Ceramic crowns using two different CAD/CAM scanners, powder free (System A, Omnicam) and powder based (System B, Blue cam).
Results:
The mean marginal gap for System A was found to be 63.5 μm (standard deviation ± 10.2 μm), while for System B, it was 57.8 μm (standard deviation ± 9.8 μm). System B demonstrated a slightly superior marginal fit compared to System A, with a difference of 5.7 μm.
Conclusion:
Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that both Omnicam and Blue cam produced clinically acceptable marginal fit of Virgilite Based Lithium Disilicate Ceramic crowns. However, Blue cam exhibited a slightly better marginal fit compared to Omnicam. Further clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings.
