The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and marginal adaptation of endo-crown restorations produced from different resin-matrix ceramics (RMS) and the effects of these materials on marginal adaptation and fracture resistance. Three frasaco models were used by preparing (first) premolar teeth in three different margin preparations: butt-joint, heavy chamfer and shoulder. Each group was further divided into four subgroups according to the type of restorative material used: Ambarino High Class (AHC), Voco Grandio (VG), Brilliant Crios (BC) and Shofu (S) (n = 30). Master models were obtained using an extraoral scanner and fabricated with a milling machine. Marginal gap evaluation was performed with a silicon replica technique using a stereomicroscope. Replicas of the models (n = 120) were produced with epoxy resin. The fracture resistance of the restorations was recorded using a universal testing machine. The data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA, and a t-test was applied for each group. Tukey's post-hoc test was performed to compare significant differences (p ≤ 0.05). The highest marginal gap was observed in VG, and the best marginal adaptation and the highest fracture resistance were found in BC. The lowest fracture resistance in Butt-joint preparation design was found in S. In addition, the lowest fracture resistance value in the heavy chamfer preparation design was found in AHC. The heavy shoulder preparation design displayed the highest fracture resistance values for all materials.
