ABSTRACTStatement of problem Few studies have compared the marginal and internal 1047297ts of crowns

fabricated from machinable palladium-silver-indium (Pd-Ag-In) semiprecious metal alloy

Purpose The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate and compare the marginal and internal

1047297ts of machined Pd-Ag-In alloy zirconia and cast gold crowns

Material and methods A prospective clinical trial was performed on 35 participants and 52

abutment teeth at 2 centers Individuals requiring prosthetic restorations were treated with gold

alloy or zirconia crowns (2 control groups) or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns (experimental group) A replica

technique was used to evaluate the marginal and internal 1047297ts The buccolingual and mesiodistal

cross-sections were measured and a noninferiority comparison was conducted

Results The mean marginal gaps were 682 mm for the gold crowns 754 mm for the zirconia

crowns and 769 mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns In the 5 cross-sections other than the distal

cross-section the 2-sided 95 con1047297dence limits for the differences between the Pd-Ag-In alloycrowns and the 2 control groups were not larger than the 25-mm noninferiority margin The

control groups displayed smaller internal gaps in the line angle and occlusal spaces compared

with the Pd-Ag-In crown group

Conclusion The marginal gaps of machinable Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns did not meet the

noninferiority criterion in the distal margin compared with zirconia and gold alloy crowns

Nonetheless all 3 crowns had clinically applicable precision (J Prosthet Dent 2015----)

titanium alloy alloys of platinum group metals have beenused for 1047297xed prostheses and implant abutments

Although the platinum metal alloys have been used inconventional casting methods their speci1047297c composi-tions differ from those of the conventional alloys if they are manufactured for precision milling24-26 If the weightratio of palladium (Pd) and indium (In) is adjusted thealloy has a gold-like color excellent physical propertiesand adequate bond strength with ceramic The machin-able Pd-silver (Ag)-In alloy has a hardness of between185 and 330 VHN an elongation of 5 a modulus of

elasticity of 80 GPa and a bond strength with ceramic of 38 MPa27 Moreover it displays resistance to corrosionand discoloration that is higher than the criteria forclinical use

For long-term success prostheses made of a variety of materials require appropriate marginal and internaladaptation Inappropriate margins may cause restorationfailure due to the accumulation of plaque and secondary caries and the excess or lack of space for the cement canresult in fracture detachment or incomplete place-ment2829 Many in vitro and in vivo studies have beenconducted on marginal and internal gaps30-44 Although

a consensus has not yet been reached a marginal gap of 100 to 120 mm and an internal gap of 140 to 150 mm arerecommended as the clinical upper limits for completecrowns38-40

A representative method for identifying the in vivomarginal and internal 1047297ts is the replica technique which

was described by Molin et al in 199345 This technique which duplicates the relationship of the inner space of acrown and an abutment on a model with the registrationmaterial has a number of advantages A crown does notneed to be sectioned and the number of measurementsites can be decided without restriction In additionrepeated measurements are possible Consequently thismethod has been frequently used in in vitro and in vivostudies446-54

Most studies of the marginal accuracy of crowns haveexamined CADCAM prostheses or compared cast alloy crowns and CADCAM crowns55-59 Few comparativestudies of the 1047297ts of Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metalcrowns CADCAM zirconia crowns andor cast goldalloy crowns have been conducted Thus in this studyprostheses fabricated with gold alloy zirconia and Pd-

Ag-In alloy were provided for study participants andtheir marginal and internal 1047297ts were compared The

primary null hypothesis was that the marginal 1047297t of thesemiprecious metal alloy crown was statistically non-inferior to that of the zirconia and cast gold crowns Thesecondary null hypothesis was that the internal 1047297t of thePd-Ag-In alloy crown did not differ statistically fromthose of the control groups

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Inha University and Ewha Womans University Hospitals The study participants were adults ranging from 20 to 81 years of age who voluntarily consented toenroll in this clinical trial Individuals under the age of 20pregnant women or women suspected of being pregnantindividuals with alcohol addiction or mental illness andindividuals with abnormal clinical 1047297ndings that a study supervisor or investigator considered inappropriate forthis study were excluded

Prosthesis materials were gold alloy (DeguDent LTGDeguDent GmbH) zirconia (Lava 3M ESPE) and block-type Pd-Ag-In alloy (Innovium Ceragem Biosys Co) Thegold alloy and zirconia were fabricated as controls andthe Pd-Ag-In alloy was the experimental material Thecrown that was selected among the 3 by the participant

was cemented for the de1047297nitive prosthesisTo determine the necessary number of participants

differences in the marginal gaps of the matched pairs were set as the primary evaluation variable When theactual differences and standard deviations of the differ-ences in the marginal gaps of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

compared with the gold alloy and zirconia crowns of the 2control groups were set to 0 mm and 637 mm respectivelythe number of required participants was estimated to be52 from a noninferiority test with a noninferiority marginof 25 mm a 1-sided alpha level of 025 and a powerof 806061 Fifty-two teeth (31 molars 11 premolars2 canines and 8 anterior teeth 20 teeth in the maxilla and32 in the mandible) in 35 participants (16 men and 19

women average age 467 years) who needed metal orceramic complete crown restorations because of toothdamage such as dental caries or tooth fractures wereenrolled

A de1047297nitive cast was produced for the tooth to betreated according to the conventional restoration processthrough tooth preparation and impression making Thepreparation design was for a ceramic restoration withrounded line angles The design of an equally placedgingival 1047297nish line was the chamfer for the most part andthe deep chamfer for the esthetic areas The de1047297nitivestone cast underwent the die process and was thenscanned with a 3-dimensional model scanner (Dental

casting processes For the fabrication of the zirconia andPd-Ag-In alloy crowns a double scanning method wasused The waxing that was made for the cast gold crown

was scanned 3 dimensionally and the scan was super-imposed on the existing cast and applied as the contourand morphology of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown6263 Thismethod was used to exclude variables other than themarginal and internal 1047297t For crowns in the esthetic areaa veneering ceramic was applied on the labial surface

with a conventional layering technique The marginaland internal cement space parameters and the minimum

core thickness of both the Lava and Innovium crowns were set in the CAD program at 35 mm 70 mm and 05mm respectively ( Fig 1 ) Based on the completed designthe Innovium alloy and Lava zirconia blocks were pro-cessed and 1047297nished with a milling machine (Dento Mc-5AX Digiworks) and the Lava zirconia blocks wereprocessed with a Lava CNC 500 (3M)

The replica technique was used to examine the mar-ginal and internal 1047297t41 The 3 types of completed crowns

were evaluated separately on the abutment tooth Theproximal contact margin and occlusion were evaluated

After an initial adjustment the intaglio surface of the

crown was 1047297lled with a silicone registration material (FitChecker II GC Corp) and the crown was placed on theprepared tooth The patient was instructed to clench theirteeth on a gauze wrapped stick placed on the occlusalsurface After 2 minutes for polymerization the crown

was removed from the oral cavity and the registrationmaterial was assessed for bubbles or tears Subsequentlythe intaglio was 1047297lled with a polyvinyl siloxane impres-sion material (Examix 1047297ne GC Corp) and the base wassupplemented with a putty silicone (Exa1047298ex GC Corp)and stabilized which yielded a replica ( Fig 2 ) Among

the 3 types of complete crowns the crown that wasselected by the patient was delivered with resin-modi1047297edglass ionomer cement (FujiCEM GC Corp)

The molar was sectioned twice and the premolar andcanine were sectioned once from the center in the buc-colingual direction to obtain cross-sections to visualize thegaps between the crown and the tooth In the mesiodistaldirection all teeth were cut from the center Four regions

were selected as reference points for the measurements of the marginal and internal gaps For the measurement of the gaps in each sectioned part images were made with astereoscopic microscope (SZX7 Olympus Corp) at times30

magni1047297cation and images were analyzed with image

analysis software (ImageJ version 145 software US Na-tional Institutes of Health) A laboratory technician whodid not participate in the clinical process performed themeasurement ( Fig 3 ) The dental laboratory processes

were evaluated by comparing the 1047297t on a cast shapereproducibility level of oxide layer formation bubblesduring the opaque application properties and deformationlevel of the surface deformation level after ceramic

veneering and satisfaction with ceramic shades relative toeach material

Measurements from the replica specimen wereanalyzed with statistical software (SAS v92 SAS Insti-

tute Inc) Comparisons of the noninferiority of themargins between the experimental group with crownsthat were prepared by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy blockand the control groups of the cast and zirconia crowns

were performed as the primary end point If the upperlimit of the 95 con1047297dence interval (CI) of the gap dif-ference between the 2 groups was less than the pre-speci1047297ed noninferiority margin of 25 mm the Pd-Ag-Inalloy group was considered noninferior to the gold orzirconia group at a 1-sided alpha level of 025 The samemethod and criteria were applied for the values of 6sections from different locations The results of the survey of the evaluations of the laboratory procedure wereanalyzed by obtaining the average ranking from therankings for each of the respective items

RESULTS

The average marginal gap measured on the siliconereplica of the cast gold crowns was 682 m m 754 mm forthe zirconia crowns and 769 mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The average internal gaps at the margin axial

wall line angle and occlusal space are shown inTable 1 In the 5 sections other than the distal section of the margin the differences in the gaps between the

Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns and the 2 control groups did not

exceed the noninferiority margin of 25 mm However inthe distal section the marginal gap was larger in the Pd-

Ag-In alloy group (845 mm) than those in the gold group(679 mm P =002) and the zirconia group (698 mm P =01) The difference in the marginal gap between theexperimental group and the gold group was 166 mm(95 con1047297dence limits [CL] 63 269 mm) and that be-tween the experimental group and the zirconia group

was 147 mm (95 CL 34 26 mm) Thus the criterion fornoninferiority was not met in the distal sections ( Fig 4 )

At the axial wall the gap difference between the goldalloy and the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was 119 mm (95

CL minus

24 262 mm) At the mesiobuccal section the gapdifferences were 26 mm (95 CL 102 417 mm) betweenthe gold and Pd-Ag-In crowns and 188 mm (95 CL19 357 mm) between the zirconia and Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns These differences did not meet the noninferiority criteria However in the remaining 4 sections the upperlimit of the CL did not exceed the noninferiority margin( Fig 5 ) For the line angle and occlusal space the size of the internal gaps of the experimental group did not meetthe noninferiority criteria in comparison with the goldalloy and zirconia crowns in all of the sections ( Figs 6-8 )In the evaluations of the fabrication procedures of thecrowns in the dental laboratory the zirconia crown dis-played the best overall results for all of the itemsincluding the model 1047297t and bubble formation during theopaque application (Table 2)

DISCUSSION

In an in vitro study that compared the 1047297t of differentcrowns fabricated with the CA DCAM system under thesame conditions Gonzalo et al35 reported that in 3-unitpartial 1047297xed dental prostheses made of Lava Procera zir-conia InCeram zirconia and metal ceramic the 1047297rst 3groups showed smaller marginal gaps than metal ceramic

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

were not affected by the type of silicone registration ma-terial5354 Although the replica was prepared using themaximum clenching force of a patient the replica may nothave re1047298ected the precise positions possibly increasing the standard deviation of the occlusal space

A deep chamfer 1047297nish line was prepared for the labialor buccal side of the incisors canines and premolars

while a conventional chamfer margin was prepared forthe remaining margin Syu et al68 suggested that the typeof 1047297nish line does not affect the marginal gap In addi-tion the preparation design may not result in signi1047297cant

differences between the 1047297

t of the cast crowns and CADCAM crowns6970

The analysis in this clinical study indicated that themarginal and internal 1047297ts of the crowns fabricated by milling machining Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metal alloys

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps

titanium alloy alloys of platinum group metals have beenused for 1047297xed prostheses and implant abutments

Although the platinum metal alloys have been used inconventional casting methods their speci1047297c composi-tions differ from those of the conventional alloys if they are manufactured for precision milling24-26 If the weightratio of palladium (Pd) and indium (In) is adjusted thealloy has a gold-like color excellent physical propertiesand adequate bond strength with ceramic The machin-able Pd-silver (Ag)-In alloy has a hardness of between185 and 330 VHN an elongation of 5 a modulus of

elasticity of 80 GPa and a bond strength with ceramic of 38 MPa27 Moreover it displays resistance to corrosionand discoloration that is higher than the criteria forclinical use

For long-term success prostheses made of a variety of materials require appropriate marginal and internaladaptation Inappropriate margins may cause restorationfailure due to the accumulation of plaque and secondary caries and the excess or lack of space for the cement canresult in fracture detachment or incomplete place-ment2829 Many in vitro and in vivo studies have beenconducted on marginal and internal gaps30-44 Although

a consensus has not yet been reached a marginal gap of 100 to 120 mm and an internal gap of 140 to 150 mm arerecommended as the clinical upper limits for completecrowns38-40

A representative method for identifying the in vivomarginal and internal 1047297ts is the replica technique which

was described by Molin et al in 199345 This technique which duplicates the relationship of the inner space of acrown and an abutment on a model with the registrationmaterial has a number of advantages A crown does notneed to be sectioned and the number of measurementsites can be decided without restriction In additionrepeated measurements are possible Consequently thismethod has been frequently used in in vitro and in vivostudies446-54

Most studies of the marginal accuracy of crowns haveexamined CADCAM prostheses or compared cast alloy crowns and CADCAM crowns55-59 Few comparativestudies of the 1047297ts of Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metalcrowns CADCAM zirconia crowns andor cast goldalloy crowns have been conducted Thus in this studyprostheses fabricated with gold alloy zirconia and Pd-

Ag-In alloy were provided for study participants andtheir marginal and internal 1047297ts were compared The

primary null hypothesis was that the marginal 1047297t of thesemiprecious metal alloy crown was statistically non-inferior to that of the zirconia and cast gold crowns Thesecondary null hypothesis was that the internal 1047297t of thePd-Ag-In alloy crown did not differ statistically fromthose of the control groups

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Inha University and Ewha Womans University Hospitals The study participants were adults ranging from 20 to 81 years of age who voluntarily consented toenroll in this clinical trial Individuals under the age of 20pregnant women or women suspected of being pregnantindividuals with alcohol addiction or mental illness andindividuals with abnormal clinical 1047297ndings that a study supervisor or investigator considered inappropriate forthis study were excluded

Prosthesis materials were gold alloy (DeguDent LTGDeguDent GmbH) zirconia (Lava 3M ESPE) and block-type Pd-Ag-In alloy (Innovium Ceragem Biosys Co) Thegold alloy and zirconia were fabricated as controls andthe Pd-Ag-In alloy was the experimental material Thecrown that was selected among the 3 by the participant

was cemented for the de1047297nitive prosthesisTo determine the necessary number of participants

differences in the marginal gaps of the matched pairs were set as the primary evaluation variable When theactual differences and standard deviations of the differ-ences in the marginal gaps of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

compared with the gold alloy and zirconia crowns of the 2control groups were set to 0 mm and 637 mm respectivelythe number of required participants was estimated to be52 from a noninferiority test with a noninferiority marginof 25 mm a 1-sided alpha level of 025 and a powerof 806061 Fifty-two teeth (31 molars 11 premolars2 canines and 8 anterior teeth 20 teeth in the maxilla and32 in the mandible) in 35 participants (16 men and 19

women average age 467 years) who needed metal orceramic complete crown restorations because of toothdamage such as dental caries or tooth fractures wereenrolled

A de1047297nitive cast was produced for the tooth to betreated according to the conventional restoration processthrough tooth preparation and impression making Thepreparation design was for a ceramic restoration withrounded line angles The design of an equally placedgingival 1047297nish line was the chamfer for the most part andthe deep chamfer for the esthetic areas The de1047297nitivestone cast underwent the die process and was thenscanned with a 3-dimensional model scanner (Dental

casting processes For the fabrication of the zirconia andPd-Ag-In alloy crowns a double scanning method wasused The waxing that was made for the cast gold crown

was scanned 3 dimensionally and the scan was super-imposed on the existing cast and applied as the contourand morphology of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown6263 Thismethod was used to exclude variables other than themarginal and internal 1047297t For crowns in the esthetic areaa veneering ceramic was applied on the labial surface

with a conventional layering technique The marginaland internal cement space parameters and the minimum

core thickness of both the Lava and Innovium crowns were set in the CAD program at 35 mm 70 mm and 05mm respectively ( Fig 1 ) Based on the completed designthe Innovium alloy and Lava zirconia blocks were pro-cessed and 1047297nished with a milling machine (Dento Mc-5AX Digiworks) and the Lava zirconia blocks wereprocessed with a Lava CNC 500 (3M)

The replica technique was used to examine the mar-ginal and internal 1047297t41 The 3 types of completed crowns

were evaluated separately on the abutment tooth Theproximal contact margin and occlusion were evaluated

After an initial adjustment the intaglio surface of the

crown was 1047297lled with a silicone registration material (FitChecker II GC Corp) and the crown was placed on theprepared tooth The patient was instructed to clench theirteeth on a gauze wrapped stick placed on the occlusalsurface After 2 minutes for polymerization the crown

was removed from the oral cavity and the registrationmaterial was assessed for bubbles or tears Subsequentlythe intaglio was 1047297lled with a polyvinyl siloxane impres-sion material (Examix 1047297ne GC Corp) and the base wassupplemented with a putty silicone (Exa1047298ex GC Corp)and stabilized which yielded a replica ( Fig 2 ) Among

the 3 types of complete crowns the crown that wasselected by the patient was delivered with resin-modi1047297edglass ionomer cement (FujiCEM GC Corp)

The molar was sectioned twice and the premolar andcanine were sectioned once from the center in the buc-colingual direction to obtain cross-sections to visualize thegaps between the crown and the tooth In the mesiodistaldirection all teeth were cut from the center Four regions

were selected as reference points for the measurements of the marginal and internal gaps For the measurement of the gaps in each sectioned part images were made with astereoscopic microscope (SZX7 Olympus Corp) at times30

magni1047297cation and images were analyzed with image

analysis software (ImageJ version 145 software US Na-tional Institutes of Health) A laboratory technician whodid not participate in the clinical process performed themeasurement ( Fig 3 ) The dental laboratory processes

were evaluated by comparing the 1047297t on a cast shapereproducibility level of oxide layer formation bubblesduring the opaque application properties and deformationlevel of the surface deformation level after ceramic

veneering and satisfaction with ceramic shades relative toeach material

Measurements from the replica specimen wereanalyzed with statistical software (SAS v92 SAS Insti-

tute Inc) Comparisons of the noninferiority of themargins between the experimental group with crownsthat were prepared by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy blockand the control groups of the cast and zirconia crowns

were performed as the primary end point If the upperlimit of the 95 con1047297dence interval (CI) of the gap dif-ference between the 2 groups was less than the pre-speci1047297ed noninferiority margin of 25 mm the Pd-Ag-Inalloy group was considered noninferior to the gold orzirconia group at a 1-sided alpha level of 025 The samemethod and criteria were applied for the values of 6sections from different locations The results of the survey of the evaluations of the laboratory procedure wereanalyzed by obtaining the average ranking from therankings for each of the respective items

RESULTS

The average marginal gap measured on the siliconereplica of the cast gold crowns was 682 m m 754 mm forthe zirconia crowns and 769 mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The average internal gaps at the margin axial

wall line angle and occlusal space are shown inTable 1 In the 5 sections other than the distal section of the margin the differences in the gaps between the

Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns and the 2 control groups did not

exceed the noninferiority margin of 25 mm However inthe distal section the marginal gap was larger in the Pd-

Ag-In alloy group (845 mm) than those in the gold group(679 mm P =002) and the zirconia group (698 mm P =01) The difference in the marginal gap between theexperimental group and the gold group was 166 mm(95 con1047297dence limits [CL] 63 269 mm) and that be-tween the experimental group and the zirconia group

was 147 mm (95 CL 34 26 mm) Thus the criterion fornoninferiority was not met in the distal sections ( Fig 4 )

At the axial wall the gap difference between the goldalloy and the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was 119 mm (95

CL minus

24 262 mm) At the mesiobuccal section the gapdifferences were 26 mm (95 CL 102 417 mm) betweenthe gold and Pd-Ag-In crowns and 188 mm (95 CL19 357 mm) between the zirconia and Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns These differences did not meet the noninferiority criteria However in the remaining 4 sections the upperlimit of the CL did not exceed the noninferiority margin( Fig 5 ) For the line angle and occlusal space the size of the internal gaps of the experimental group did not meetthe noninferiority criteria in comparison with the goldalloy and zirconia crowns in all of the sections ( Figs 6-8 )In the evaluations of the fabrication procedures of thecrowns in the dental laboratory the zirconia crown dis-played the best overall results for all of the itemsincluding the model 1047297t and bubble formation during theopaque application (Table 2)

DISCUSSION

In an in vitro study that compared the 1047297t of differentcrowns fabricated with the CA DCAM system under thesame conditions Gonzalo et al35 reported that in 3-unitpartial 1047297xed dental prostheses made of Lava Procera zir-conia InCeram zirconia and metal ceramic the 1047297rst 3groups showed smaller marginal gaps than metal ceramic

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

t of the cast crowns and CADCAM crowns6970

The analysis in this clinical study indicated that themarginal and internal 1047297ts of the crowns fabricated by milling machining Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metal alloys

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps

casting processes For the fabrication of the zirconia andPd-Ag-In alloy crowns a double scanning method wasused The waxing that was made for the cast gold crown

was scanned 3 dimensionally and the scan was super-imposed on the existing cast and applied as the contourand morphology of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown6263 Thismethod was used to exclude variables other than themarginal and internal 1047297t For crowns in the esthetic areaa veneering ceramic was applied on the labial surface

with a conventional layering technique The marginaland internal cement space parameters and the minimum

core thickness of both the Lava and Innovium crowns were set in the CAD program at 35 mm 70 mm and 05mm respectively ( Fig 1 ) Based on the completed designthe Innovium alloy and Lava zirconia blocks were pro-cessed and 1047297nished with a milling machine (Dento Mc-5AX Digiworks) and the Lava zirconia blocks wereprocessed with a Lava CNC 500 (3M)

The replica technique was used to examine the mar-ginal and internal 1047297t41 The 3 types of completed crowns

were evaluated separately on the abutment tooth Theproximal contact margin and occlusion were evaluated

After an initial adjustment the intaglio surface of the

crown was 1047297lled with a silicone registration material (FitChecker II GC Corp) and the crown was placed on theprepared tooth The patient was instructed to clench theirteeth on a gauze wrapped stick placed on the occlusalsurface After 2 minutes for polymerization the crown

was removed from the oral cavity and the registrationmaterial was assessed for bubbles or tears Subsequentlythe intaglio was 1047297lled with a polyvinyl siloxane impres-sion material (Examix 1047297ne GC Corp) and the base wassupplemented with a putty silicone (Exa1047298ex GC Corp)and stabilized which yielded a replica ( Fig 2 ) Among

the 3 types of complete crowns the crown that wasselected by the patient was delivered with resin-modi1047297edglass ionomer cement (FujiCEM GC Corp)

The molar was sectioned twice and the premolar andcanine were sectioned once from the center in the buc-colingual direction to obtain cross-sections to visualize thegaps between the crown and the tooth In the mesiodistaldirection all teeth were cut from the center Four regions

were selected as reference points for the measurements of the marginal and internal gaps For the measurement of the gaps in each sectioned part images were made with astereoscopic microscope (SZX7 Olympus Corp) at times30

magni1047297cation and images were analyzed with image

analysis software (ImageJ version 145 software US Na-tional Institutes of Health) A laboratory technician whodid not participate in the clinical process performed themeasurement ( Fig 3 ) The dental laboratory processes

were evaluated by comparing the 1047297t on a cast shapereproducibility level of oxide layer formation bubblesduring the opaque application properties and deformationlevel of the surface deformation level after ceramic

veneering and satisfaction with ceramic shades relative toeach material

Measurements from the replica specimen wereanalyzed with statistical software (SAS v92 SAS Insti-

tute Inc) Comparisons of the noninferiority of themargins between the experimental group with crownsthat were prepared by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy blockand the control groups of the cast and zirconia crowns

were performed as the primary end point If the upperlimit of the 95 con1047297dence interval (CI) of the gap dif-ference between the 2 groups was less than the pre-speci1047297ed noninferiority margin of 25 mm the Pd-Ag-Inalloy group was considered noninferior to the gold orzirconia group at a 1-sided alpha level of 025 The samemethod and criteria were applied for the values of 6sections from different locations The results of the survey of the evaluations of the laboratory procedure wereanalyzed by obtaining the average ranking from therankings for each of the respective items

RESULTS

The average marginal gap measured on the siliconereplica of the cast gold crowns was 682 m m 754 mm forthe zirconia crowns and 769 mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The average internal gaps at the margin axial

wall line angle and occlusal space are shown inTable 1 In the 5 sections other than the distal section of the margin the differences in the gaps between the

Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns and the 2 control groups did not

exceed the noninferiority margin of 25 mm However inthe distal section the marginal gap was larger in the Pd-

Ag-In alloy group (845 mm) than those in the gold group(679 mm P =002) and the zirconia group (698 mm P =01) The difference in the marginal gap between theexperimental group and the gold group was 166 mm(95 con1047297dence limits [CL] 63 269 mm) and that be-tween the experimental group and the zirconia group

was 147 mm (95 CL 34 26 mm) Thus the criterion fornoninferiority was not met in the distal sections ( Fig 4 )

At the axial wall the gap difference between the goldalloy and the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was 119 mm (95

CL minus

24 262 mm) At the mesiobuccal section the gapdifferences were 26 mm (95 CL 102 417 mm) betweenthe gold and Pd-Ag-In crowns and 188 mm (95 CL19 357 mm) between the zirconia and Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns These differences did not meet the noninferiority criteria However in the remaining 4 sections the upperlimit of the CL did not exceed the noninferiority margin( Fig 5 ) For the line angle and occlusal space the size of the internal gaps of the experimental group did not meetthe noninferiority criteria in comparison with the goldalloy and zirconia crowns in all of the sections ( Figs 6-8 )In the evaluations of the fabrication procedures of thecrowns in the dental laboratory the zirconia crown dis-played the best overall results for all of the itemsincluding the model 1047297t and bubble formation during theopaque application (Table 2)

DISCUSSION

In an in vitro study that compared the 1047297t of differentcrowns fabricated with the CA DCAM system under thesame conditions Gonzalo et al35 reported that in 3-unitpartial 1047297xed dental prostheses made of Lava Procera zir-conia InCeram zirconia and metal ceramic the 1047297rst 3groups showed smaller marginal gaps than metal ceramic

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

A deep chamfer 1047297nish line was prepared for the labialor buccal side of the incisors canines and premolars

while a conventional chamfer margin was prepared forthe remaining margin Syu et al68 suggested that the typeof 1047297nish line does not affect the marginal gap In addi-tion the preparation design may not result in signi1047297cant

differences between the 1047297

t of the cast crowns and CADCAM crowns6970

The analysis in this clinical study indicated that themarginal and internal 1047297ts of the crowns fabricated by milling machining Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metal alloys

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps

magni1047297cation and images were analyzed with image

analysis software (ImageJ version 145 software US Na-tional Institutes of Health) A laboratory technician whodid not participate in the clinical process performed themeasurement ( Fig 3 ) The dental laboratory processes

were evaluated by comparing the 1047297t on a cast shapereproducibility level of oxide layer formation bubblesduring the opaque application properties and deformationlevel of the surface deformation level after ceramic

veneering and satisfaction with ceramic shades relative toeach material

Measurements from the replica specimen wereanalyzed with statistical software (SAS v92 SAS Insti-

tute Inc) Comparisons of the noninferiority of themargins between the experimental group with crownsthat were prepared by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy blockand the control groups of the cast and zirconia crowns

were performed as the primary end point If the upperlimit of the 95 con1047297dence interval (CI) of the gap dif-ference between the 2 groups was less than the pre-speci1047297ed noninferiority margin of 25 mm the Pd-Ag-Inalloy group was considered noninferior to the gold orzirconia group at a 1-sided alpha level of 025 The samemethod and criteria were applied for the values of 6sections from different locations The results of the survey of the evaluations of the laboratory procedure wereanalyzed by obtaining the average ranking from therankings for each of the respective items

RESULTS

The average marginal gap measured on the siliconereplica of the cast gold crowns was 682 m m 754 mm forthe zirconia crowns and 769 mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The average internal gaps at the margin axial

wall line angle and occlusal space are shown inTable 1 In the 5 sections other than the distal section of the margin the differences in the gaps between the

Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns and the 2 control groups did not

exceed the noninferiority margin of 25 mm However inthe distal section the marginal gap was larger in the Pd-

Ag-In alloy group (845 mm) than those in the gold group(679 mm P =002) and the zirconia group (698 mm P =01) The difference in the marginal gap between theexperimental group and the gold group was 166 mm(95 con1047297dence limits [CL] 63 269 mm) and that be-tween the experimental group and the zirconia group

was 147 mm (95 CL 34 26 mm) Thus the criterion fornoninferiority was not met in the distal sections ( Fig 4 )

At the axial wall the gap difference between the goldalloy and the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was 119 mm (95

CL minus

24 262 mm) At the mesiobuccal section the gapdifferences were 26 mm (95 CL 102 417 mm) betweenthe gold and Pd-Ag-In crowns and 188 mm (95 CL19 357 mm) between the zirconia and Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns These differences did not meet the noninferiority criteria However in the remaining 4 sections the upperlimit of the CL did not exceed the noninferiority margin( Fig 5 ) For the line angle and occlusal space the size of the internal gaps of the experimental group did not meetthe noninferiority criteria in comparison with the goldalloy and zirconia crowns in all of the sections ( Figs 6-8 )In the evaluations of the fabrication procedures of thecrowns in the dental laboratory the zirconia crown dis-played the best overall results for all of the itemsincluding the model 1047297t and bubble formation during theopaque application (Table 2)

DISCUSSION

In an in vitro study that compared the 1047297t of differentcrowns fabricated with the CA DCAM system under thesame conditions Gonzalo et al35 reported that in 3-unitpartial 1047297xed dental prostheses made of Lava Procera zir-conia InCeram zirconia and metal ceramic the 1047297rst 3groups showed smaller marginal gaps than metal ceramic

In addition Baig et al55 reported that the marginal gaps were 664 mm for the Cercon system and 366 mm for theIPS Empress II system both made with the CADCAMmethod and 371 mm for a cast complete metal crown Inan in vivo study that was conducted on 19 participants

Reich et al50 reported that the marginal gaps of the Lavaand Cerec systems were both approximately 65 mm which

was not signi1047297cantly different from the 54 mm for themetal ceramic crown Wettstein et al51 reported that whenthe Cercon zirconia framework and conventional metalceramic framework were selectively fabricated for 25 par-ticipants the internal 1047297ts of the zirconia framework werecervical 1896 mm axial 1405 mm occlusal cusp tip 1213

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

mm and centro-occlusal 1920 mm these values weresigni1047297cantly greater than those of the metal ceramicframework which were 1186 mm 957 mm 1225 mm and1531 mm Thus in most studies the crowns fabricated

with the CADCAM method were comparable with metalceramic or complete-metal crowns that were made by casting and had marginal and internal 1047297ts that were withinthe clinically acceptable range21384452 In addition Tanet al59 compared the vertical margin openings of titaniumcrowns that were designed by CAD software milled tita-nium crowns that were waxed followed by double scan-ning with a 3-dimensional scanner and cast high noblecrowns The marginal discrepancies were 79 mm 73 mmand 24 mm respectively In addition the CADCAM

method with and without double scanning did not show signi1047297cantly different marginal gaps

In this in vivo study the 1047297rst null hypothesis wasrejected because the crown that was fabricated by milling the Pd-Ag-In alloy block showed a marginal 1047297ton the distal cross-section of the crown that was infe-rior to that of the cast crowns and zirconia crownsHowever the marginal gap of the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown

was not statistically inferior to those of the controlgroups on all of the cross-sections except for the distalsection The average marginal gaps of the cast crowns(682 mm) zirconia crowns (754 mm) and Pd-Ag-In

alloy crowns (769 mm) were generally greatercompared with the results of previous in vivo studies55-58

In contrast other in vivo studies have reported largermarginal gaps than those found in our study5051 Inaddition the marginal gap (845 mm) of the distal section

was statistically inferior to the 120 mm that was pro-posed as the clinically acceptable gap by Hung et al38

indicating that the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown had a clinically applicable 1047297t The differences in the internal gaps at theaxial wall between the Pd-Ag-In group and the controlgroups exceeded the noninferiority margin at the mesialsection (1008 mm) and mesiobuccal section (1031 mm)

However similar to the marginal gap all of the internalgaps obtained in this study showed values less than 140 to150 mm

For the line angle and occlusal space the second nullhypothesis was rejected because the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown showed larger internal gaps in all of the crosssections compared with the control groups Both the Pd-

Ag-In alloy and zirconia crowns had signi1047297cantly greaterinternal gaps in the occlusal space compared with thecast crowns This was likely a result of the characteristicsof the CADCAM fabrication method such as the limitedsize of the milling tool and tool compensation64 Inaddition some crowns have their internal spacer pa-rameters set to be bigger in the CAD system to avoid

early contact on the sharp edge of a preparation and toreduce the marginal gap Therefore the gap mightbecome larger in the CAD process compared with a castrestoration5665

The larger gap in the line angle and the occlusal spaceof the Pd-Ag-In alloy crown compared with the zirconiacrown from the same CADCAM method was thought toresult from differences in the gaps that might haveoccurred as a result of the parameters set during milling because of the difference between zirconia which has

volume reduction during the sintering process and thePd-Ag-In alloy which has no volume change For the

general procedures for crowns in the dental laboratory evaluations the zirconia crowns appeared to be theeasiest to fabricate However this was thought to bebecause of skill differences and the fabrication andplacement of the gold or Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns was notexceptionally dif 1047297cult

The methods that are used to evaluate the 1047297t of acrown include direct visualization under a microscope

visualization by the attachment of the crown to a die thatis followed by sectioning evaluation after impressionmaking and evaluation with an explorer and the nakedeye6667 This in vivo study used the replica technique

which duplicated the state of the abutment becausedirectly cutting the patientrsquos tooth was not possible45 Nosigni1047297cant differences have been reported between the diesectioning method and replica technique and these results

were not affected by the type of silicone registration ma-terial5354 Although the replica was prepared using themaximum clenching force of a patient the replica may nothave re1047298ected the precise positions possibly increasing the standard deviation of the occlusal space

A deep chamfer 1047297nish line was prepared for the labialor buccal side of the incisors canines and premolars

while a conventional chamfer margin was prepared forthe remaining margin Syu et al68 suggested that the typeof 1047297nish line does not affect the marginal gap In addi-tion the preparation design may not result in signi1047297cant

differences between the 1047297

t of the cast crowns and CADCAM crowns6970

The analysis in this clinical study indicated that themarginal and internal 1047297ts of the crowns fabricated by milling machining Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metal alloys

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps

differences between the 1047297

t of the cast crowns and CADCAM crowns6970

The analysis in this clinical study indicated that themarginal and internal 1047297ts of the crowns fabricated by milling machining Pd-Ag-In semiprecious metal alloys

were comparable with those of the conventionally usedcast crowns and zirconia crowns Although the Pd-Ag-Incrowns did not meet the noninferiority criterioncompared with the existing materials for the line angleand occlusal space their values were within the clinically acceptable range Furthermore most areas of the mar-ginal and axial locations met the noninferiority criterionHowever because this study had a small sample size anda short period for crown placement long-term clinicalstudies that involve a larger sample are required Inaddition studies on possible events in the oral cavitysuch as antagonistic tooth wear or fracture chipping of the ceramic veneer and methods of fabricating moreprecise crowns through improvements of the CADCAMtechnique are necessary

CONCLUSIONS

Within the limitations of this in vivo study the following conclusions may be drawn

1 The average plusmnstandard deviation marginal gaps were 682 plusmn248 mm for the cast gold crowns 754plusmn288 mm for the zirconia crowns and 769 plusmn270mm for the Pd-Ag-In alloy crowns The Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns met the noninferiority criterion in allthe areas except for the distal cross-sectioncompared with the control groups

2 For the line angle and occlusal space the Pd-Ag-Inalloy crowns were inferior to the control groups forthe internal gaps
