Table 7.

Comparison of the fit of clasps of different tooth positions with the same material after testing.

Group	After circulation (μm)
Group	Clasp tip	P	Clasp arm	P	Occlusal rest	P
PEEK 46 (n = 10)	64.05 ± 29.50	0.241	64.47 ± 23.74	0.861	109.49 ± 50.03	0.961
PEEK 44 (n = 10)	79.07 ± 25.79	0.241	66.28 ± 21.86	0.861	110.52 ± 43.44	0.961
Co–Cr 46 (n = 10)	104.51 ± 47.91	0.836	80.71 ± 46.55	0.839	182.59 ± 97.89	0.471
Co–Cr 44 (n = 10)	100.28 ± 41.98	0.836	84.61 ± 37.35	0.839	147.62 ± 113.94	0.471

*After testing, there was no statistically significant difference in the fits of the clasps of the same material at different tooth positions.
