EVALUATION OF THE DIGITAL FUNCTIONS EFFICIENCY FOR THE MARGIN LINE DETECTION OF A PROSTHETIC DENTAL CROWN PREPARATION by Horia Bogdan Slăvoiu, Radu Mihai Slăvoiu, Adina Andreea Mirea, Petre Costin Mărașescu, Daniel Adrian Tîrtea, Miruna Andreea Anghel, Ioana Mitrut, Horia Octavian Manolea

“…In our study, from the results obtained for all 20 preparations, the most advantageous functions for determining the cervical limit were “Detect Subgingival” and “Draw Non-magnetic”, both obtaining the lowest values for 35% of the preparations, but discrepancies can be observed between the values obtained for preparations of the same tooth type, but in different cases. Automatic detection may seem innovative, spectacular and easy for a novice operator, but the difficult clinical situations, require the use of manual functions for the best possible detection of the preparation edges." …”
