- Abstract
- Purpose: To evaluate the marginal and internal gaps of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy copings fabricated using subtractive and additive manufacturing. Methods: A study model of an abutment tooth 46 was prepared by a 2-step silicone impression with dental stone. Fifteen stereolithography files for Co-Cr alloy copings were compiled using a model scanner and dental CAD software. Using the lost wax (LW), wax block (WB), soft metal block (SMB), microstereolithography (mu-SLA), and selected laser melting (SLM) techniques, 15 Co-Cr alloy copings were fabricated per group. The marginal and internal gaps of these Co-Cr alloy copings were measured using a digital microscope (160X), and the data obtained were analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis H-test and post-hoc Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction. Results: The mean values of the marginal, axial wall, and occlusal gaps were 91.8, 83.4, and 163 mu m in the LW group; 94.2, 77.5, and 122 mu m in the WB group; 60.0, 79.4, and 90.8 mu m in the SMB group; 154, 72.4, and 258 mu m in the m-SLA group; and 239, 73.6, and 384 mu m in the SLM group, respectively. The differences in the marginal and occlusal gaps between the 5 groups were statistically significant (P <. 05). Conclusions: The marginal gaps of the LW, WB, and SMB groups were within the clinically acceptable limit, but further improvements in the m-SLA and SLM approaches may be required prior to clinical implementation.
