The fit of In-Ceram copings and crowns was investigated in a laboratory study. Two methods were used, one a direct sectioning technique and the other a cement analogue technique using addition-cured polyvinylsiloxane impression material. The former method involved 40 crowns cemented and sectioned on their respective electroformed silver dies. For the second method, 80 analogues were embedded and sectioned. All measurements were made using a Reflex microscope. This showed In-Ceram crowns and copings to fit well with marginal openings and ranging from 1 to 63 microns and a mean of 19 microns. No significant difference in fit was found between chamfer margins and shoulder margins. The addition of porcelain to the In-Ceram coping and repeated firing cycles involved in building a crown did not alter the fit. It is concluded that In-Ceram crowns fit well in comparison to other crown types.

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.

D006046 Gold A yellow metallic element with the atomic symbol Au, atomic number 79, and atomic weight 197. It is used in jewelry, goldplating of other metals, as currency, and in dental restoration. Many of its clinical applications, such as ANTIRHEUMATIC AGENTS, are in the form of its salts.

D019228 Tooth Crown The upper part of the tooth, which joins the lower part of the tooth (TOOTH ROOT) at the cervix (TOOTH CERVIX) at a line called the cementoenamel junction. The entire surface of the crown is covered with enamel which is thicker at the extremity and becomes progressively thinner toward the cervix.
