Crown and bridge impressions--a comparison between the UK and a number of other countries.
The quality of impressions for crown and bridge work in seven countries were compared with the results found in the United Kingdom in a previous study. The results showed that metal impression trays were used more frequently, and flexible plastic trays less frequently, in the countries visited than in the United Kingdom. Other differences and similarities were noted.
