Abstract

Statement of problem: Intraoral scanners have been increasingly used in recent years. However, the accuracy of digital scans as it affects marginal adaptation is unclear. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the marginal adaptation of single-unit zirconia crowns fabricated with digital scans or with conventional impressions. Material and methods: The electronic databases PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, and EMBASE were searched and complemented by a manual search. Risks of bias were assessed by using a modified methodological index for nonrandomized studies (MINORS). Mean ±standard deviation (SD) values of marginal accuracy of studies were extracted for both methods. Mean marginal difference and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the marginal accuracy of each method. Pooled data were statistically analyzed by using a random-effect model. Results: Seventeen studies were used to perform the meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis was performed based on intraoral scanners. Standardized mean marginal difference and 95% CI of each subgroup were as follows: Lava: -0.85 μm (95% CI: -1.67, -0.03) (P=.043); CEREC: -1.32 μm (95% CI: -2.06, -0.59) (P<.001); iTero: -0.44 μm (95% CI: -1.35, 0.47) (P=.338); TRIOS: -1.26 μm (95% CI: -2.02, -0.51) (P=.001); unknown scanner: -0.21 μm (95% CI: -1.14, 0.72); all studies: -0.89 μm (95% CI: -1.24, -0.54) (P<.001). Conclusions: Digital scanning of prepared teeth for single-unit zirconia restorations resulted in better marginal accuracy than conventional techniques using elastomeric impression materials. © 2020 Editorial Council for the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
