| Summary: | Aim: The present study was to evaluate the space provided for
the temporary luting cement, after the application of various
coats of die spacers, during the fabrication of provisional
crowns and bridges.
Materials and Methods: A total of 50 specimens of dental stone
with provisional crowns on all these samples were prepared
and were divided into five groups based on the application of
various coats of different die spacers. Later these specimens
were sectioned buccolingually and were observed using a
stereomicroscope under 100X magnification. The images
thus obtained were evaluated and noted for the amount of
space between the inner surface of the provisional crown and
the specimens at five different locations using Image Pro 6.0
Express software and the values were subjected to one-way
ANOVA test, and unpaired t-test.
Results: There was a significant increase of luting space
thickness with various die spacer applications than the
specimens of control group.
Conclusion: Specimens of double coat applications of silver
and gold die spacers showed higher luting cement space than
the separating media application specimens. |
