Marginal and internal fit of 3D printed permanent crowns: effect of CAD/CAM software, preparation type and resin material.

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
backgroundWith the advancement of digital technology, the stages of fabrication of temporary or permanent restorations with additive manufacturing (AM) are likely to become a routine in clinical dentistry. Compatibility with the teeth and surrounding gingival tissues is crucial for eliminating biological complications. Marginal and internal fit play a critical role in the mechanical continuity of the restoration and proper seating of the crown. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of CAD software, resin material and tooth preparation design on the marginal and internal fit of 3D printed resin nanohybrid crowns.
methodsThree typodont teeth were prepared with knife-edge, chamfer, and shoulder finishing lines. Crowns were designed using two CAD/CAM software systems (Exocad and 3Shape) and fabricated from two nanohybrid resin materials (VarseoSmile TriniQ and Saremco Crowntec). Marginal and internal fit were evaluated using the silicone replica technique (SRT) under ×40 magnification. Internal gaps were assessed separately for axial and occlusal regions. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests (α = 0.05).
resultsPreparation design significantly affected marginal, axial internal and occlusal fit (p < 0.05). Material type influenced marginal and axial internal fit (p < 0.05), whereas CAD/CAM software affected only occlusal fit (p < 0.05). Marginal gap values in all groups were within clinically acceptable limits. Axial internal gaps were generally within reported acceptable ranges, while occlusal gaps were consistently higher and, in several groups, approached or exceeded commonly accepted thresholds.
conclusionPreparation design was the primary determinant of fit in 3D-printed resin crowns. While marginal and axial adaptation were clinically acceptable, occlusal internal discrepancies remain a critical limitation. Optimization of digital design parameters and preparation geometry is essential to improve the clinical performance of additively manufactured restorations.
