Abstract: Angle of convergence is one of the most important clinical guidelines necessary for the success in fixed prosthodontics. It will be very effective if the angle of convergence can be determined clinically during tooth preparation. There are few methods to determine the angle of convergence clinically but they are expensive, time consuming and they require special equipment. A simple intraoral tool has been developed to assess the angle of convergence clinically.
