Marginal fit and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM glass ceramic occlusal veneers with different preparation designs.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo assess marginal fit and fracture resistance of CAD/CAM glass ceramic occlusal veneers with different preparation designs.
methodsFirst premolar typodont maxillary was chosen. Standard IPS E.max CAD occlusal veneer preparations were carried out using Exocad software using three distinct designs: the first design involved a minimally invasive preparation (butt joint"BJ"group); the second design involved an occlusal veneer preparation with a circumferential hollow chamfer finish line"HC"group; and the third design involved a deep chamfer finish line"DC"group. To create a total of 24 epoxy resin replicas, each prepared design was reproduced eight times ("n = 8"for each prepared design). Every sample was made using IPS E.max CAD ceramics. Every occlusal veneer was firmly attached to the matching epoxy resin using adhesive resin cement. A computerized stereomicroscope was used to measure the vertical marginal gap. Ultimately, the fracture resistance was measured using a universal testing apparatus.
resultsDeep chamfer occlusal veneer design, group"DC", registered statistically significant the highest mean value of vertical marginal gap (118.38 ± 10.43 μm) as well as the lowest mean value of failure load (549.97 ± 56.66 N). While butt joint occlusal veneer design"BJ"registered a statistically significant lowest mean value of vertical marginal gap (99.2 ± 7.15 μm) as well as the highest mean value of failure load (1107.25 ± 93.09 N).
conclusionsAlthough different preparation designs of IPS E.max CAD occlusal veneer restorations would significantly affect the marginal fit and fracture resistance, all groups were within the clinically accepted range.
