Eighteen impressions in the maxillary arch and 22 in the mandibular arch were made. Of these, 13 were positioned in the anterior region and 27 in the posterior region. The horizontal distances between two impression copings were measured and compared to similar measurements on the master casts. In addition, the presence or absence of marginal discrepancies was evaluated.
