Abstract:
Three postgraduate prosthodontic students served as clinicians/evaluators in a study rating their preferences for three different diamond cutting instruments from three manufacturers. Each evaluator prepared the axial walls of complete veneer crowns on extracted molar teeth and then ranked their preference of the instruments. To prepare nine teeth, each of the three instruments was used in random order and without knowledge of the specific manufacturer. The methodology for analyzing the evaluators' preferences and the results are discussed.
