Indian Journal of Dental Research. 2010 Jul-Sept; 21(3): 452-453.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/139900This article describes a simple technique of useful modification of measuring compass, procured from a school compass box, to make an intraoral paralleling device. This device is useful in examining parallelism of tooth or implant abutment preparations for a common path of placement in fixed dental prostheses. It can be used to examine the parallelism of guiding planes in removable partial denture patients as well.enAbutment preparationfixed dental prosthesesguiding planespath of placementCrownsDental AbutmentsDental Prosthesis Design --instrumentationDenture, Partial, FixedDenture, Partial, RemovableEquipment DesignHumansTooth Preparation, Prosthodontic --instrumentationArticle
