In Vitro Assessment of Single-Retainer Tooth-Colored Adhesively Fixed Partial Dentures for Posterior Teeth

Scheme of the quantitative margin analysis in the Scanning Electron Microscope. Two replicas were obtained from each cantilever FPD; one from the <i>mesial box</i> and the other one from the <i>occlusal box</i>. For the quantitative margin analysis, the enamel was divided into three segments: interproximal (segments a-b and c-d), cervical (segment b-c) and occlusal (segment a-d). All segments together constituted the <i>total margin length</i>.
