title: Marginal fit of prefabricated crowns of the Ha-Ti implant system: an in vitro scanning electron microscopic study.
abstract: This study investigated the marginal fit of the prefabricated crowns for the Ha-Ti implant system using scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that the mean gap between the crown margin and the implant base was less than 3 micrometers following simulated ceramic firing and continuous loading in vitro.
