The Importance of Marginal Fit
Marginal fit is one of the most critical factors determining the long-term success of a restoration. Poor marginal adaptation allows microleakage, leading to secondary caries, pulpal inflammation, and restoration failure. Conversely, restorations with excellent marginal fit provide a superior seal, protecting the underlying tooth structure and ensuring longevity.
How Digital Workflows Improve Fit
Digital scanning and CAD/CAM milling eliminate many of the variables that compromise marginal fit in traditional workflows. By accepting digital impressions from Trios, Medit, and CEREC, we capture precise tooth anatomy without the distortions inherent in physical impression materials. This digital data is then used to mill restorations with micron-level precision.
Chairside Verification and Adjustments
Even with precision milling, minor adjustments may be necessary during insertion. However, restorations fabricated with in-house precision milling typically require only minimal adjustments, saving valuable chairside time and ensuring optimal clinical outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is acceptable marginal fit?
Clinical studies suggest marginal gaps of less than 100 micrometers are acceptable. Our precision milling consistently achieves this standard.
