Q

What are some of the problems that can arise during the fitting of a crown

A
  1. Crown feels to high to patient
53
Q

What would you do if the crown feels high to the patient

Check margins to see if the crown is fully seated then use using shim stock

54
Q

If the crown is fully seated but the patient feel like it is high what should you do?

A
  1. Check the occlusion with occlusal indicator wax or articulating paper
  2. Adjust the crown checking the thickness doesn’t become less than 3mm
  3. Polish crown before cementing
  4. Check the fitting of the crown again
  5. If it still doesn’t fit you will need to re make it

A

3mm

56
Q

If the crown is NOT fully seated and the patient feel like it is high what should you do ?

A
  1. Check the fitting surface for obvious defects
  2. Check the prep for remaining temporary cement
  3. Make sure the prep doesn’t have an undercut
  4. Check the model isn’t damaged
57
Q

Talk through the steps you’d after you have evaluated if the fitting surface has an defects

A
  1. IF there is any defects adjust and retry
  2. If there isn’t any defects check the contact points to see if they are too tight
  3. Use fit checking medium inside the crown
  4. If none of that works you will need to remake the crown
