Comparison of Marginal Fit and Internal Adaptation in All-Metal Crowns: an in Vitro Experimental Trial

February 24, 2025 updated by: Tooba Shabbir, Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine
The goal of this in vitro study is to compare the marginal fit and internal adaptation of all-metal crowns in polished crown preparations and non-polished crown preparations The main question it aims to answer is: are the non polished tooth preparations comparable to polished preparations? We will compare polish and non polish groups and see their effects on marginal fit and internal adaptation of all metal crown

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
NP is given to the non polished group which is group 2
Out of two groups, group 2 is a test group to which rough preparations are assigned
prevention of microleakage and secondary carries

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
marginal fit
Time Frame: six months
The margins of fixed restorations refers to the junction between the prepared tooth structure and the crown restoration
six months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Internal fit
Time Frame: six months
Internal fit is defined as the perpendicular distance between the framework and abutment teeth and the misfit is measured from occlusal/incisal and axial surfaces to the coping
six months
