Prosthesis alignment in the coronal plane is considered satisfactory if the absolute error is 3° or less from ideal alignment of the prosthesis in the coronal plane unless specified otherwise: ± 2°, ± 5° = within 2°, 5° from optimal alignment, respectively; *values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
