This study measured the relative displacements of the five-unit fixed partial dentures as cast with the same fixed partial dentures sectioned and assembled by investment-soldering, soldering stand-soldering, and cast-joining techniques. A total of fifteen specimens using a type IV gold alloy wee one-piece cast as control and then sectioned and assembled five test specimens for each method were prepared. A computerized three dimensional coordinate measuring machine and specially designed cylinder for this study were used. Displacement was defined by six displacement variables for the each of cylinders incorporated in each casting: three component displacements ( Lx, Ly, and Lz) and rotational displacements( thetax, thetay, thetaz). The global displacement was computed using the mathematical formula R= Global displacement ={{{{rm SQRT { (x’-x)^2 +(y’-y)^2 + (z’-z)^2} }} }} Under the conditions of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. The investment-soldering group showed the largest mean value of final global displacements, followed by stand-soldering group, cast-joining group and one-piece cast group. However, between the mean values of final global displacement for the cast-joining group and one-piece cast group, there was no significant difference. 2. For investment-soldering and stand-soldering groups, the greater global displacements were recorded in soldering phase than in indexing or investing phase. 3. For one-piece cast group, the displacements occured mostly in the casting phase. And for castjoining group, there was no significant difference in global displacements among the fabrication procedures. 4. Intercentroidal distance decreased in framework-pattering, solder-indexing, solder-standing, and soldering phases, but increased in investment block-investing and casting phases. 5. Specially designed cylinder for touch-trigger type coordinate measuring machine was validated.
