3D printed coping for intraoral evaluation: a clinical report

Quintessence Int. 2019;50(7):534-538. doi: 10.3290/j.qi.a42655.

Abstract

The clinical report describes a three-dimensional (3D) printed coping for intraoral evaluation before milling final anterior restorations. The use of printed copings allows restorations for complex and esthetically important restorations to be thoroughly tested at relatively low cost without introducing large delays into the fabrication process.
