AimThe purpose of this study was to compare the marginal and internal fit of Co-Cr and titanium ceramic crowns fabricated with 2 different techniques: CAD/CAM milling and traditional casting (TC).Materials And MethodsTen traditional casting of Co-Cr (TCC), 10 CAD/CAM milling of Co-Cr (MC), 10 traditional casting of titanium (TCT), 10 CAD/CAM milling of titanium ceramic crowns (MT) were fabricated. Silicone replicas were obtained to measure internal gap volume, marginal gap and internal adaptation that was evaluated at 3 regions: axial wall, axio-occlusal angle, and occlusal surface. Measurements were made with a X-ray micro computerized tomography (micro-CT) and analyzed with Bonferroni and Dunnet T3 post-hoc tests (α = 0.05).ResultsOne-way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences among the groups for measurements at the marginal gap (P > 0.05). At axial wall region the mean values of TCT group were higher than those of groups but only statistically not significant for TCC group (P < 0.05). TCC group statistically gives better results than MC group in axio-occlusal and occlusal regions (P < 0.05). The mean measurement of internal gap volume were 20.59 ± 0.83 mm3 for TCC, 22.73 ± 0.82 mm3 for MC, 22.83 ± 1.11 mm3 for TCT and 20.51 ± 1.16 mm3 for MT. Mean internal gap volume values MT group were smaller than those of groups but only statistically not significant for TCC group (P > 0.05).ConclusionAll groups performed similar marginal adaptation. The cement film thickness at axio-occlusal angle point and occlusal region were higher for MC crowns.
