Abstract
The authors conducted research to determine the grinding precision and accuracy of fit of ceramic inlays generated with the completely redes igned CEREC 2 computer-assisted design/computer-integrated manufacturi ng, or CAD-CIM, unit. They found that the grinding precision of the CE REC 2 unit was 2.4 times greater than that of CEREC 1. With CEREC 2, t he mean (+/- standard deviation) luting interfaces were 56 +/- 27 micr ometers, which is a 30 percent improvement in the accuracy of fit comp ared with that of CEREC 1.
