title: Effect of measurement site on the dimensional accuracy of die-forming materials and techniques.
abstract: To date, the comparisons of dimensional accuracy of various die materials has been investigated primarily by using a one-dimensional measurement on one die. However, a single measurement may not adequately represent the complex preparations that are encountered frequently in clinical dentistry. This investigation utilized a standardized model with two identical dies to measure die accuracy at four sites, using five different die-forming materials/techniques.
