Evaluation of Positional Accuracy of Conceptually Two Different Die Systems in the Fabrication of Fixed Partial Dentures

The success of any fixed prosthesis is multifactorial right from preparation to passive fit during cementation, various phases both in clinical and laboratory procedures. Die preparation is a procedure without which the success of any prosthesis is compromised. Different systems have been used for preparing die which serves as a platform for the construction of pattern for future prosthesis. Over the years, these die systems passed various modifications and innovations striving towards precision that governs the fit of any prosthesis. This article evaluates two such systems which evolved independently for their positional accuracy through-out a simulated laboratory procedure.
