Abstract
To compare surface roughness of glazed versus polished lithium disilicate crowns as well as wear
of enamel antagonists.
Methodology: Twenty-two full coverage crowns were fabricated for posterior teeth. Scaling and
polishing was performed for all the patients one week prior to preparation. The patients were divided
into two groups according to crown finishing. group 1(control group) fabricated from IPS e.max
glazed crowns and group 2 (intervention group) fabricated from IPS e.max polished crowns. The
preparation was standardized with supra-gingival, chamfer finish line for all teeth. Fabrication of the
crowns was done using lost wax press technique. The restorations were glazed with e.max ceram
glazing liquid; an even layer was applied on the entire surface of the crown using a brush. Polishing
was performed using EVE abrasive rubbers. Polishing of each crown was performed with rubbers of
three different grains, beginning with the most abrasive one (light crimson) for shaping, then an
intermediate one (crimson) for pre polishing, and the last, a less abrasive one (yellow)for high shine
polishing. Self-adhesive cement was used for both groups. Roughness of crowns as well as opposing
teeth wear were measured using non contact 3D profilometer, patient satisfaction was evaluated in
the form of questionnaire.
