Abstract

INTRODUCTION: CAD/CAM technology has evolved in dentistry and provide almost accurate restorations and prosthesis which is done by digitalized mechanical scanning. The scanners could be optical, laser, or contact scanners. The marginal and internal fits of restorations fabricated by CAD/CAM technology are better as compared with the restorations fabricated by the lost wax technique. AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the marginal and internal fit of laboratory fabricated metal laser sintered crowns using direct and indirect methods of scanning. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: A typhodont model in which a mandibular first molar tooth is prepared with a shoulder finish line. An intraoral scanner for direct scanning and laboratory scanner for indirect scanning technique is used for the fabrication of Metal Laser Sintered crowns. The marginal and Internal fit of the crowns are evaluated with two groups and compared with stereomicroscope. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The results did show better marginal and internal fit in crowns fabricated by the direct method; however, the crown fabricated by the indirect method has more discrepancy, but was in the clinically acceptable limit.
