The present systematic review was performed to evaluate the in vitro marginal fit studies of endocrown restorations with varying preparation depths. A systematic literature search was performed in three databases: PubMed, LILACS and Web of Science up to June 2017. Only in-vitro studies evaluating the marginal accuracy were included. Clinical studies, case series, case reports, pilot studies, reviews, non-dental studies and studies that evaluated properties other than marginal fit were excluded. From the 481 eligible articles, two studies were employed in the present review. The included studies showed that increasing the preparation depth increases the marginal discrepancy. Although further studies are required to confirm and justify the present findings, increasing the preparation depth should be approached with extreme caution to avoid violating marginal adaptation.
