Abstract
BACKGROUND: One of the key indicators of the quality of fixed prostheses is their precise fit to the prosthetic bed. Errors occurring at clinical and laboratory stages during prosthesis fabrication often lead to variations in the degree of fit of the final prosthesis. Most existing methods for evaluating prosthesis fit are primarily of scientific interest and have not gained widespread clinical application due to their complexity and inconvenience in practical use.
AIM: To improve the effectiveness of prosthetic treatment by enhancing the fit of fixed dental prostheses.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The fit of completed prostheses was assessed using a silicone test and a specialized device — a calibrator — which enables the clinician to quickly and accurately measure the thickness of the silicone film.
RESULTS: It was found that all prostheses received from the dental laboratory exhibited varying degrees of fit. The measured values ranged from 20 to 200 µm, with 50% of the prostheses exceeding 100 µm. Adjustments made to crowns using the proposed method improved their fit by an average of 59.28%.
CONCLUSION: The proposed clinical method for assessing and correcting the marginal fit of fixed dental prostheses allows clinicians to monitor this parameter effectively and achieve clinically acceptable values.
