Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Research has revealed that the crown-implant ratio (CIR) is a critical variable influencing the long-term stability of implant-supported prostheses in the oral cavity. Nevertheless, inefficient manual measurement and varied measurement methods have caused significant inconvenience in both clinical and scientific work.
