ABSTRACT
The most important factor for long-term success of full-coverage restorations is marginal
adaptation. The terminology describing “fit” and the techniques used for measuring fit vary
considerably in the literature. Although fit can be most easily defined in terms of “misfit,”
there are many different locations between a tooth and a restoration where the measurements
can be made. The measurements of misfit at different locations are geometrically related to
each other and defined as internal and marginal gaps, vertical marginal and horizontal
marginal discrepancies, overextended and under extended margins, absolute marginal and
seating discrepancy. Preparation design is one of the important factors influencing the
marginal integrity. In this paper we compared the accuracy and reliability of techniques to
measure marginal adaptation restorations.
