Vertical marginal fit of advanced lithium disilicate crowns: an in- vitro study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
statement of the problemThe clinical performance of ceramic crowns is influenced by overall marginal adaptation. A recently introduced advanced lithium disilicate ceramic requires further evidence compared to conventional lithium disilicate in terms of vertical marginal fit. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To assess the vertical marginal fit of crowns constructed from advanced and conventional lithium disilicate materials. MATERIALS AND
methodsTen (n = 10) ceramic crowns were constructed and randomly assigned to two groups: Group (T) with CEREC Tessera crowns (n = 5) and Group (E) with IPS e.max CAD crowns (n = 5). Vertical marginal fit was evaluated using a stereomicroscope at 10X magnification both before and after cementation, with twenty equidistant measurement points recorded for each crown. Each crown was cemented to its corresponding natural molar tooth using Totalcem resin cement. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two material groups. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare between vertical marginal fit before and after cementation (P ≤ 0.05).
resultsThe overall vertical marginal fit between the two groups showed no significant difference, whether before or after cementation. However, both groups exhibited a statistically significant decrease in vertical marginal fit after cementation.
conclusionAdvanced lithium disilicate shows advantageous properties concerning mean marginal gap values exhibiting comparable performance to IPS e.max CAD. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: CEREC Tessera demonstrated marginal fit values within clinically acceptable limits, supporting its reliability as a novel chairside material suitable for use in restorative dentistry.
