Abstract

Statement of problem. Monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology have recently become an alternative dental prosthetic treatment. The marginal fit of monolithic zirconia crown may be affected by different stages of the fabrication procedures in the laboratory and cementation. Information regarding the accuracy of fit of monolithic zirconia crowns at different stages of fabrication and cementation is limited.
