Abstract
Background:
The use of dental computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restoration is rapidly increasing.
Objective:
This study was performed to evaluate the marginal and internal cement thickness and the adhesive gap of internal cavities comprising CAD/CAM materials using two digital impression acquisition methods and micro-computed tomography.
Methods:
Images obtained by a single-image acquisition system (Bluecam Ver. 4.0) and a full-color video acquisition system (Omnicam Ver. 4.2) were divided into the BL and OM groups, respectively. Silicone impressions were prepared from an ISO-standard metal mold, and CEREC Stone BC and New Fuji Rock IMP were used to create working models (
Results:
Significant differences in the marginal and internal cement thickness and adhesive gap spacing were found between the OM and BL groups.
Conclusions:
The full-color movie capture system appears to be a more optimal restoration system than the single-image capture system.
