Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of porcelain veneering methods on the marginal and internal fit of a three-unit zirconia framework. A zirconia master model, in which the lower-left second premolar and the second left molar were used as the abutment, was obtained using an intraoral scanner. Based on the data, three-unit zirconia frameworks for fabricating all-ceramic bridges were designed and milled (FW group). Two types of all-ceramic bridge were fabricated by veneering porcelain onto these frameworks using the press-over technique (P group) and the layering technique (L group). The replica technique was used to measure the gap size between the abutments and the bridges. Measurements were taken in the marginal opening area (MO), chamfer area (CH), axial area (AX), and occlusal area (OC). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test. There was no significant difference in MO and CH between the P and L groups. However, in AX, the L group had a significantly larger gap size than that of the P group (p = 0.003). In addition, compared with the FW group, the P group showed a significantly larger gap size in MO (p < 0.000), CH (p = 0.008), and OC (p < 0.000). These results indicate that the gap size increased after porcelain veneering using the press-over and layering techniques. In addition, the all-ceramic bridges fabricated using the press-over and layering techniques had approximately equal gap sizes in MO.
