Marginal and Internal Fit, Surface Roughness and Fracture Resistance of Hybrid Dental Crown Materials Fabricated With Milling and 3D-Printing Systems: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Australian dental journal, 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
backgroundThis study evaluated the marginal and internal fit, surface roughness and fracture resistance of three hybrid crown materials fabricated using milling and 3D-printing.
methodsA maxillary premolar typodont tooth was prepared and scanned to produce 30 cobalt-chromium dies through selective laser melting 3D printing. Thirty crowns were fabricated from two milled materials (Vita Enamic; Cerasmart) and one printed material (Irix Max) (n = 10). Marginal and internal fit were assessed using a three-dimensional superimposition technique, while surface roughness was measured with an optical profilometer. After cementation, specimens underwent thermocycling for 3600 cycles, followed by 720,000 mechanical loading cycles. Fracture resistance was tested using a universal testing machine and failure modes were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA test.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed in marginal fit among the groups. Cerasmart showed significantly higher internal gaps but smoother surfaces than Vita Enamic and Irix Max. Vita Enamic exhibited significantly greater fracture resistance compared to Cerasmart. All failures were catastrophic.
conclusionAll crowns exhibited comparable marginal fit. Cerasmart demonstrated smoother surfaces but inferior internal adaptation and fracture strength, whereas Vita Enamic provided superior mechanical performance.
