Abstract:
The aim of this innovative study was to investigate the feasibility of a modified butt joint preparation with two grooves instead of a ferrule when root dentin tissue is limited in mandibular molars. It was also investigated to what extent the effect of these treatment options on marginal and internal fit and fracture strength (FS) varied according to the type of material and whether or not a fiber ribbon was used at the base. Marginal and internal fit were evaluated using the triple-scan protocol. Statistical analysis was conducted via a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD), marginal discrepancy, and overall fit values for the ceramic group were 127 μm, 108 μm, and 120 μm, respectively, while corresponding values for the hybrid ceramic group were 139 μm, 116 μm, and 130 μm (p < 0.05). The mean FS recorded for ceramic restorations was 662 N, whereas hybrid ceramic restorations demonstrated a significantly higher FS of 903 N (p < 0.001). When material type was assessed independently of preparation design and base configuration, both ceramic and hybrid ceramic exceeded the predefined clinical acceptability threshold for AMD; however, they remained within acceptable limits for the remaining parameters. Among the evaluated configurations, hybrid ceramic restorations incorporating ferrules and fiber-reinforced bases exhibited the highest FS values, whereas ceramic restorations with modified biological widths and lacking fiber reinforcement yielded the lowest FS values.
