| Tartalmi kivonat: | Objective: CAD-CAM technology enables biomimetic dentistry by producing highly accurate, minimally invasive restorations that replicate the biomechanical behavior of intact teeth. This study evaluated the fracture resistance of overlays with margins at different supragingival levels, including a flat occlusal design and compared them with conventional full crowns. All restorations were fabricated from chairside CAD/CAM resin-matrix ceramic for maxillary premolars. Methods and Materials: Sixty-four CAD/CAM resin-matrix ceramic restorations were fabricated and randomly assigned to four groups (n = 16): (1) overlay with a margin 2 mm above the gingiva (Ov2m); (2) overlay with a 4 mm supragingival margin (Ov4m); (3) overlay with a 4 mm margin and flat occlusal surface (OvF4m); and (4) full-coverage crown with a gingival-level margin (FCC). Preparations were standardized by one operator. Restorations were adhesively cemented to resin dies, thermocycled 10,000 times (5–55 °C), and loaded to failure in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc tests (α = 0.001). Results: Among overlays, Ov2m showed the highest fracture resistance (1605 ± 88 N), followed by Ov4m (1403 ± 63 N). OvF4m recorded the lowest value (1257 ± 73 N). FCC exhibited the greatest overall resistance (1838 ± 106 N), significantly higher than that of any overlay group. Conclusions: Overlays with margins 2 mm above the gingiva had higher fracture resistance than those with more coronal margins or flat occlusal designs. Full-coverage crowns showed the greatest strength, highlighting the impact of margin position and preparation design on restoration performance. |
