Q

_______ finish line:
•Easier to prepare than a sharp angle
•Required for any crown that will be milled
•Produces less tooth weakening than sharp axiogingival line angles for small teeth or RCT, teeth that will be subjected to greater force since they are FPD abutments, and teeth with substantial secondary dentin where there is very little pulp space remaining (older patients)

A

Shoulder with rounded angles

A

Acute

22
Q

The ________ of the cement can prevent complete seating of a casting with near parallel bevels

A

film thickness

23
Q

Margin angles of less than ______ may produce a metal margin that is too thin and weak.

A

25o

24

What is the angle of margins that is best for cavosurface margins?

A

35-55

25
Q

______ margins are difficult to evaluate

A

Subgingival

26
Q

  • (+ 1 mm for a healthy gingival sulcus= 3mm free gingival margin to alveolar crest.)
A

Biologic width

27
Q

In an anterior metal ceramic prep, the F-L taper is necessary for ______ form

A

Resistance

28
Q

In an anterior metal ceramic prep, the M-D surfaces provide ______ form

A

Retention

29
Q

A

.8-1.5/2mm

36
Q

Should the facial reduction on an anterior metal ceramic prep be in one plane or 2 planes?
-Allows adequate reduction for uniform color / contours and resistance.

A

2 planes

37
Q

_______ reduction of facial surfaces of an anterior prep→ bulky contour or opaque “bright spot”

A

Inadequate

38
Q

_______ reduction of facial surfaces of an anterior prep-decreased resistance / pulpal insult.

A

Over-reduction

39
Q

______ reduction results in light reflection from the opaque porcelain

A

Inadequate

40
Q
