Fig. 3From: In vitro validation of Digital Image Analysis Sequence (DIAS) for the assessment of the marginal fit of cement-retained implant-supported experimental crownsDigital Image Analysis Sequence: Images on the top raw from left to right: First, a cemented experimental crown, focus on the exposed cement surface at the margin. Second, the superimposed acquired image of the negative replica slice representing a profile parallel to the long axis of the sample and perpendicular to the margin. Next, the captured image of the negative replica slice with the superimposed components outlines (thin black lines) placed at the location of best perceived fit. Images on the bottom raw: Focus on the margin with the components’ outlines shown with thick lines. The crown outline (angled line on top) and the abutment outline (angled line at bottom). Next, the green line represents the measurement of MF accurately defined between the two angle pointsBack to article page
