The internal and marginal fits of the ceramic fixed partial dentures can be affected by the finish line design and ceramic type. The feather-edge finish line had a negative impact on the marginal and internal fits of ceramic fixed partial dentures at certain measurement points. Regarding the effect of finish line design on abutment teeth, the difference in fit was only detected at the finish line area of the anterior abutment (canine) with the feather-edge finish line.
