Popis: AIM The aim of the present study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of zirconium fixed partial denture using different impression techniques. METHODS A Nissin Typodont model, including maxillary central incisor and canine with missing lateral incisor, was selected for the present study. Thirty zirconium frameworks were fabricated following three impression techniques (N = 10), conventional silicone impression (group C), scanned dental impression (group S), and Trios 3 (3Shape) intraoral scanner (group T). An extra-fine milling strategy was applied. RESULTS Group T had the smallest discrepancy compared to groups C (P = 0.006) and S (P = 0.052) at the marginal level, whereas it was larger at the incisal tip. Discrepancies in group T were smaller than group C (P = 0.004) when measured at the axial walls, and smaller than group S (P = 0.045) when measured at the chamfer area for the central teeth only. Samples in group T showed a greater percentage of equally extended restorations (52.5%), while other groups were mainly underextended (group C: 63.7%, group S: 68.8%). CONCLUSION Better adaptation was achieved with the intraoral scanner group, except at the incisal tip. Conventional and scanned impressions revealed a greater percentage of underextended restorations.
