Lava Technical Specs >> Marginal Fit >> Marginal Fit Cont.
Several authors determined the gap of Lava™ Crowns and
Bridges restorations in comparison to other Zirconia restorations fabricated with their respective CAD/CAM systems. Dr. A. Piwowarczyk and Prof. Lauer of the University of Frankfort published at the conference of the European division of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR,
PEF) in 20062 a thorough analysis on the marginal gap and absolute marginal gap of 4-unit Zirconia bridges made out of Lava Zirconia and by the Lava system in comparison to Cercon and DCS President bridges. All restorations were anonymously ordered at milling centres or laboratories. [fig. 2a, 2b] 3M ESPE Lava showed the lowest marginal and absolute marginal gap.
