OBJECTIVE This study was to compare the marginal adaptation of single crown made of 3 different all-ceramic systems (IPS e.max, In-Ceram alumina, Kavo Everest) in vitro using a light-body silicone supported by a heavy-body silicone material. METHODS The crowns were made for 1 extracted maxillary premolar prepared with a 0.8-mm chamfer margin and 6-degree tapered walls by milling. Ten crowns per system were fabricated. The horizontal marginal discrepancies, vertical marginal discrepancies and absolute marginal discrepancies were measured under an optical microscope at 39.2 magnification. The data were analyzed with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS 13.0 software package. RESULTS The results showed the mean values for horizontal marginal discrepancies were between 41.1μm and 44.9μm, for vertical marginal discrepancies were between 51.4μm and 71.7μm, and for absolute marginal discrepancies were between 66.2μm and 85.1μm. CONCLUSIONS The horizontal marginal discrepancies, vertical marginal discrepancies and absolute marginal discrepancies of the three all-ceramic crown systems were within the clinically acceptable standard. However, the IPS e.max system and the Kavo Everest System showed a better marginal fit compared with the In-Ceram alumina system.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002516	Ceramics	Products made by baking or firing nonmetallic minerals (clay and similar materials). In making dental restorations or parts of restorations the material is fused porcelain. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed & Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)	Ceramic
D003442	Crowns	A prosthetic restoration that reproduces the entire surface anatomy of the visible natural crown of a tooth. It may be partial (covering three or more surfaces of a tooth) or complete (covering all surfaces). It is made of gold or other metal, porcelain, or resin.

D003776	Dental Porcelain	A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.

D001641	Bicuspid	One of the eight permanent teeth, two on either side in each jaw, between the canines (CUSPID) and the molars (MOLAR), serving for grinding and crushing food. The upper have two cusps (bicuspid) but the lower have one to three. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p822)	Premolar,Bicuspids,Premolars
D017267	Dental Prosthesis Design	The plan and delineation of dental prostheses in general or a specific dental prosthesis. It does not include DENTURE DESIGN. The framework usually consists of metal.

D018772	Dental Marginal Adaptation	The degree of approximation or fit of filling material or dental prosthetic to the tooth surface. A close marginal adaptation and seal at the interface is important for successful dental restorations.
