Healthy Human Volunteers  participants between age 20-40 years of age willing to place crowns preferably PFM crowns 
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  3M retraction ; 3M ESPE   The paste to be applied in adequate quantity without exerting any pressure by inserting the end of the capsule tip into the sulcus in a single direction. The material to be left in place for two minutes and then removed using an air water syringe. Time required i 2 minutes 
Intervention  Retraction Cord (Sure endo; Sure Cord Plus )  The single cord technique will be utilized. The required length of the retraction cord to be positioned, starting from the mesio-buccal interproximal area to the disto-buccal interproximal area. The retraction cord will be kept in the sulcus for five minutes and removed using a fine tweezer. Time required is 5mins

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study is aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of cordless retraction systems (retraction pastes) and conventional retraction cords in achieving gingival displacement and their impact on the accuracy of intraoral digital impressions for fixed prostheses.

The study is  to be conducted  with 30 sample and are divided into 2 groups  were subjected to single crown preferably. Clinical parameter such as gingival sulcus width is measured at baseline and post retraction. The  impressions are made using intra oral scanning ( DENTSPLY PRIMESCAN ).The accuracy of the fit of the crown is analysed with the help of the stereomicroscope (  Magnus MSZ-TR RELEV )
