Assessment of The Accuracy of Complete Crown 3D Superimposition Technique Relative to The Gold Standard Technique for Digital Quantification of Volumetric Soft Tissue Changes in The Esthetic Zone

Egypt12 participantsStarted 2024-06-15

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to assess the precision of the complete crown technique employed for the superimposition of 3D models, specifically in the quantitative volumetric evaluation of gingival tissues. This technique was initially introduced in an in-vitro study by Dritsas et al. (2023) as a means to achieve an accurate, reproducible, and simple method for quantification of gingival recession.
