Aim:
This study aimed to assess the iatrogenic damage to adjacent dental surfaces when using different prevention methods.
Methods:
Fifty gypsum casts were evaluated in this cross-sectional study, and a total of 50 posterior teeth that required full crown preparation to receive fixed prostheses were included in this study. The casts were assigned into two groups. In group A, the dental abutment was separated from adjacent teeth by a metallic matrix band at the distal surface and a wooden wedge to the mesial surface. In group B, the dental abutment was separated from adjacent teeth by a metallic matrix band at the mesial surface and a wooden wedge to the distal surface.
Results:
A low degree of iatrogenic damage was detected in groups A and B. Groups A and B exhibited a low degree of damage to adjacent dental surfaces, with no significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Bringing students' attention to the importance of maintaining the integrity of adjacent dental structures during full crown preparations in addition to separating the dental abutment from adjacent teeth through prevention tools had the best results in reducing iatrogenic damage and preserving adjacent dental surfaces.
