When trying in a final ceramic crown, what is the best method to confirm the restoration is fully seated?

  1. Fit Checker
  2. Articulating paper alone
  3. Sticky wax
  4. Transillumination alone
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Fit Checker

Fit Checker (a thin-bodied vinyl polyether silicone material) is placed on the internal (intaglio) fitting surface of an indirect restoration before try-in; if the restoration isn't fully seated, the material will show areas of greater thickness (indicating excess material/binding preventing full seating) compared with thinner areas where contact is closer — making it a more reliable internal-fit assessment tool than articulating paper (which only evaluates occlusal contacts) or sticky wax/transillumination (which provide more limited information about internal fit).
