26
Q

How are Chrome-Cobalt and Titanium now prepared?

A

Milled rather than cast

27
Q

What are the generic principles of crown preparation?

A

Preservation of tooth structure, non-undercut preparation, retention and resistance, occlusal reduction: appropriate, and margin type: appropriate for crown type

28
Q

What are the FVC/MCC/ACC principles of crown preparation?

A

Tooth reduction, non-undercut preparation, retentive preparation, resistant preparation, and occlusal reduction

29
Q

What are the FVC/MCC/ACC principles of crown preparation?

A

Tooth reduction, non-undercut preparation, retentive preparation, resistant preparation, and occlusal reduction

30
Q

What is the tooth reduction of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

Balance between pulp protection and sufficient space for crown material

31
Q

What is the non-undercut of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

To path of insertion, remember undercut is a 3D phenomenon harder to visualise posteriorly

32
Q

What is the retentive preparation of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

Taper preparation 6-10°

33
Q

What is the resistant preparation of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

Increased reduction for metal and ceramic

34
Q

What is the occlusal reduction of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

Functional cusp bevel

35
Q

What is the margin type of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation?

A

Shoulder where metal ceramic and chamfer if metal alone/ceramic alone, depth will vary

36
Q

What is occlusal reduction of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation dependent on?

A

Functional/supporting cusp and material used

37
Q

What is the margin type of FVC/MCC/ACC crown preparation dependent on?

What is strong in thin sections?

A

Metal

39
Q

What is weak in thin sections?

A

Ceramic

40
Q

What is the order of full veneer metal crown preparation?

A
