Abstract

The study was conducted on 59 fixed dental prostheses of 22 patients at Dong Da Hospital in 2023 to evaluate the proximal contact tightness of these fixed prostheses. The results show that 62.7% of fixed dental protheses clinically achieved ideal marginal fit except 37.3%. After assessing 110 proximal contact surfaces, we found 45.5% in normal proximal contact, 30.9% in open proximal contact and 25.5% in tight proximal contact. Moreover,  81.8% of more than five-year-old prostheses did not maintain ideal proximal contact.
